3. Fit the stainless mounting plate, gasket (top), gasket (bottom), and hex nut between the basin and faucet.
4. Install the filter into the angle valve and connect hoses.
5. Connect the external power supply (24V outlet) to the wago connectors on the faucet following polarity instructions.

Important Notes:

• Do not modify factory settings without requesting the Sanela remote SLD03.
• Avoid coming within the active range during installation or when adjusting sensing range.

FAQ:

1. Q: What should I do if the water flow does not stop after use?
   A: If water continues to flow after use, check all connections, ensure proper installation of components, and verify power supply to the faucet.

2. Q: How do I adjust the sensing range of the faucet?
   A: The faucet will automatically adjust its sensing range during the first 10 seconds after power is turned on. Do not come within the active range during this adjustment period.

General Information

• Designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to elements of nature.
• All plumbing and electrical connection 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 faucet (internal solenoid). 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 minimize 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

Standard Functions

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

1. Install 1/2” angle valve

2. Flush lines thoroughly

3. Fit mounting screw into base of faucet

4. Fit connection hose to base of faucet
   

5. Fit stainless mounting plate (top) and gasket (top) between basin and faucet. Pass mounting screw, hose and electrical connections through vanity

6. Fit gasket (bottom), mounting plate and hex nut

7. Fit filter into angle valve and connect hoses

8. Connect external power (24V outlet) supply to wago connectors on faucet (Note polarity: brown to brown, white to white).

9. Turn angle valve on and check all connections

10. Do not come within active range

11. 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)

12. Once power 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.
