Product Usage Instructions

External Power Supply Installation

1. Ensure mains power supply is off.
2. Mark mounting point(s) on the surface.
3. Drill and insert appropriate wall anchors if required.
4. Remove cover from mounting box and fix it to the wall.
5. Pass mains (230V) power supply into the mounting box via grommet and terminate accordingly.
6. Reinstall cover of mounting box and ensure it is sealed properly.

Faucet Installation

1. Install 1/2 angle valve from the external power supply.
2. Flush lines thoroughly.
3. Fit mounting screw, o-ring, and rubber gasket.
4. Pass mounting screw, hose, and electrical connections through the vanity.
5. Fit mounting plate and hex nuts.
6. Fit filter into angle valve.
7. Note the arrow on the solenoid valve and fit connection hose and solenoid accordingly.
8. Connect the faucet to the solenoid valve and external power (24V outlet) supply to wago connectors on the faucet.
9. Turn angle valve on and check all connections.

Powering On:
Do not come within the active range initially. Turn on the power supply. The faucet will automatically adjust the sensing range  during the first 10 seconds. The LED on the sensor will continually flash; avoid coming into the active range during this time.

FAQ

Q: How do I adjust the sensing range of the faucet?
A: The faucet will automatically adjust the sensing range during the first 10 seconds after powering on. If you need to modify factory settings, request the Sanela remote SLD03.

Installation & maintenance instructions.

General Information

• Designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to elements of nature.
• All plumbing and electrical connections must be made in accordance with AUS / NZ standards.

Warnings

• Read all instructions before attempting to install this system. It is recommended a qualified & registered plumber completes the install.
• Ensure pipe work is thoroughly flushed before installing the solenoid assembly. Solenoid components are susceptible to debris and require additional flushing compared to a standard plumbing fixture.
• Consideration should be given to any regulations relating to an air gap, an air break or double check valve to protect against back flow.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

Please read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Retain instructions for future reference.

Planning

• Ensure an appropriate piping design (sizing etc). This will eliminate issues arising from flow, pressure and water hammering.
• Where appropriate install necessary filters, water hammering arrestors and water pressure reducing valves (recommended pressure 1 to 6 bar). This will minimise future maintenance.
• Install the angle valve to enable ease of future maintenance.

Tempered Water

• An appropriate thermostatic mixing valve (TMV3) should be installed to ensure a safe regulated water temperature. These are available from SPL – SST THERMO VALVE

Components

External Power Supply Installation

Important
To be installed in accordance with all NZ electrical regulations. It must be carried out  by a qualified professional.
Positioning of the mounting box should be 500mm from the floor and consider:

1. Moisture ingress due to plumbing fault
2. Ongoing maintenance and accessibility

The mounting box can be surface mounted or within the service or ceiling cavity.

1. Ensure mains power supply is off
2. Mark mounting point(s) on surface
3. Drill and insert appropriate wall anchors if required
4. Remove cover from mounting box
5. Fix mounting box to wall
6. Pass mains (230V) power supply into mounting box via grommet and terminate accordingly
7. Reinstall cover of mouting box and ensure sealed. Tighten grommet to ensure snug around cables

Note: Power supply should be secured via current breaker before the external supply (not included)

Faucet Installation

• Pass mounting screw, hose and electrical connections through vanity.
• Fit mounting plate and hex nuts
• Fit filter into angle valve
• Note arrow on solenoid valve
• Fit connection hose and solenoid. Note 8
• Connect faucet to solenoid valve
• Connect external power (24V outlet) supply to wago connectors on faucet. (Note polarity: brown to brown, white to white)
• Turn angle valve on and check all connections
• Do not come within active range
• Turn power supply on
• It is necessary, for the proper function, to keep the unit under constant voltage (don´t connect the power supply unit behind the switch into the light circuit)
• Once power is turned on, faucet will automatically adjust sensing range during first 10 seconds. The LED on sensor will continually flash, do not come in active range during this time.

Important

• Pipework is required to be flushed thoroughly prior to faucet and solenoid installation. Foreign debris may reduce level of flow and in some cases damage the solenoid valve.
• The sensor of the faucet must not be obstructed.
• Avoid positioning reflective objects or surfaces in front of the faucet sensor. This can cause false activation i.e. mirrors opposite faucet. With wall mounted faucets pay particular attention to the distance between the bottom of the basin and the faucet (minimum of 300mm) and the location and material of the basin waste (avoid mounting directly over the waste and/or choose non reflective options).
• All plumbing and electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.

Note: If you require to modify any of the factory settings please request the Sanela remote SLD03.

Maintenance

• It is recommended that the solenoid valve and all filters be inspected for foreign debris and cleaned annually (more frequently if necessary)
• Clean faucet regularly using soapy water and a soft cloth or wet sponge
• DO NOT clean faucet with any abrasive material or chlorine/acid based cleaning product. This may damage the filter of the infrared sensor and/or the finishing of the faucet.

Troubleshooting

• Water drop on sensor eye
• Ghost sensing due to reflection
• Debris in solenoid

|

• Clean IR sensor
• Remove obstruction
• Wipe sensor
• Remove reflective surface or reposition
• Clean and/or replace solenoid

Reduced flow rate|

• Filter clogged
• Aerator clogged
• Water supply

|

• Clean filter
• Clean aerator
• Check perssure / flow at source
