water out of the flush valve.

2. Lossen the set screws through two small holes on the shroud
escutcheon by turning counter-clockwise. Uninstall shroud
escutcheon from the valve body by turning it counter-clockwise
and lower it from the shroud.

3. Lift the valve head slightly to release the two shrouds. Move the
shrouds away from each other at the same time to remove them
from the valve body.
Use tape or a marker to mark the original position of the locking
ring in relation to the valve body.

4. Ensure both the strap wrench and locking ring are completely dry
for optimial grip.
Using the supplied strap wrench to counter-clockwise loosen the
valve head’s locking ring. If the strap wrench is slipping, you may
use a large wrench on the flats of the locking ring to loosen it.

5. Remove the existing diaphragm kit from the manifold stem.
Thoroughly wash the diaphragm and orifice using water.
Install the cleaned diaphragm back into the valve body, ensure that
the orifice is facing the correct orientation. For the correct orifice
orientation, Refer to the retrofit installation instruction section.
If the issue persists after cleaning, proceed to step 5B.
Do not to damage or enlarge orifice. Doing so will result in
incorrect flush rate.

6. Place the valve head with the diaphragm kit back onto the valve
body. Ensure that both the strap wrench and locking ring are dry
for a better grip. Tighten the locking ring to its original position
using the supplied strap wrench by turning it clockwise.
5B. Remove the existing diaphragm kit from the manifold stem. If
the o-rings show signs of wear or damage, replace them with
the new ones provided in the diaphragm repair kit.
Install a new diaphragm kit (with matching flow rate) into the
valve body, ensure that the both orifices are positioned inline
with the control stop. Take care to align it properly.
Note that unless the Volume Control Ring is missing or broken,
there is no need to replace it.
5. Remove the existing diaphragm kit from the manifold stem.
Thoroughly wash the diaphragm and orifice using water.
Install the cleaned diaphragm back into the valve body, ensure that
the orifice is facing the correct orientation. For the correct orifice
orientation, Refer to the retrofit installation instruction section.
If the issue persists after cleaning, proceed to step 5B.
Do not to damage or enlarge orifice. Doing so will result in
incorrect flush rate.
7. Reverse step 2 & 3 to reinstall both shrouds and shroud
escutcheon. Turn the control stop back on by turning counterclockwise
using a flat head screwdriver.

Sensor Range Adjustment (when necessary)

ensure optimal performance in various restroom environments,
each ZER-HYD is initially calibrated at the factory. However, in
situations where there is low light or high reflectivity, it might be
necessary to make adjustments to the calibration distance of the
unit. This can be done using a Magic Magnet (P6900-AT-MAG).
Follow the steps outlined below to re-calibrate the ZER-HYD using
a Magic Magnet (P6900-AT-MAG):
1. Stand at the desired calibration distance:
– ~28” from the sensor in a water closet application.
– ~22” from the sensor in a urinal application.
2. Place Magic Magnet to the right of the ZER-HYD’s lens within
indicated area. Hold the Magic Magnet in that position until the
user LED lights up.
3. Maintain the position of the Magic Magnet until the user
LED starts blinking. Once the blinking begins, remove the
Magic Magnet and allow the user LED to blink 10 times while
remaining in the same position. A quick double-blink of the user
LED indicates that the calibration process is complete.
4. To verify the new calibration distance, step away from the unit
for 5 seconds. Then return to the exact position at which it was
calibrated and observe the user LED. If the user LED blinks,
it indicates that the calibration distance has been successfully
calibrated.

Note: To ensure proper functionality, make sure the calibration distance in water closet applications prevents the sensor from detecting
the stall door. Verify this by closing the door for 10 seconds, then opening it. If the flush valve doesn’t activate, the calibration distance is
suitable. Otherwise, recalibrate to a closer distance using the magnet.

Dual Flush User Guide (For ZER6000AV-DFv Only)

• The Dual Flush model supplies flush volumes of 1.1 and 1.6 gallons per flush. When a user is present for less than 60
  seconds, the valve will flush with 1.1 gallons of water. When a user is present for over 60 seconds, the valve consumes 1.6
  gallons of water. A user must be present for a minimum of 8 seconds in order to trigger a flush.

• The Dual Flush model must be paired with a fixture with a flush volume range that includes 1.1 to 1.6 gallons per flush. For a
  list of recommended bowls, please refer to our website, www.zurn.com, or speak with your local Zurn rep.

Care and Cleaning Instruction

• Do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean the flushometer.

• The suggested cleaning of chrome plated surfaces is simply to clean them with mild soap and water, then dry. Commercial
  cleaning compounds are never recommended.

• Upon cleaning other areas of the restroom, be sure the sensor lenses are protected from other cleaning chemicals/solvents to
  prevent potential damages to the sensor and/or electronics.

• Valves used in installations subject to shut down because of cold and freezing conditions should be maintained in the following
  manner. After the main supply has been shut off and the water drained from the system, remove the stop valve cap and stop
  valve internals to allow the water to drain from the flush valve itself.
