Mounting Control Box

1. Remove the control box cover by using a #2 Phil-lips screwdriver to loosen the cover screw.
2. Pivot the yellow locking tab and remove the metal key at the top of the control box. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the end of the spout hose and insert it through the hole.
3. Be sure to seat the hose firmly before reinstalling the metal key and securing it with the yellow locking tab.
4. Determine the position of the control box under the sink. Hold the control box against the wall and mark the locations of the two mounting holes. Orientation is not critical.
5. Drill 3/16˝ holes, install wall anchors and mounting screws. Leave at least 1/2˝ (12mm) of the screw head exposed. Secure the control box to the wall using a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Connecting Water Supply and Positioning Power Wire from Spout (dual supply unit shown)
IMPORTANT: The filter screen gaskets seal the connection against leaks and must be installed as shown.

1. Attach the 3/8˝ female compression supply hoses from the control box to the supply stops. Use a wrench to tighten the nuts to the supply stops.
2. Open the supply stops and check for leaks. Note: water may run through spout.
3. Bring wire into box. Use length of box for measurement. Snap into holder on side.

• IMPORTANT: Remove any debris or hardware from the sink before opening the supplies and testing the faucet.
• WARNING! Delivery of water to fixtures intended for hand washing is recommended to be controlled by valves listed to ASSE 1070. This fitting is NOT factory preset and can be adjusted to deliver water at temperatures exceeding 110°F (43°C). Further, mechanical mixing valves DO NOT provide automatic control of water temperature. Due to effects of various water conditions, periodic verification of outlet water temperature is required. Spout hose (865.963.00.0) is not to be used as a pressurized supply line and is only for connecting faucet to the control box.

Connect Power: Wire Placement

IMPORTANT! Be sure when connecting wires to avoid obstructing screw hole for control box cover.

USE THE YELLOW WIRE HARNESS
As indicated in the following sections, the yellow wire harness will help organize wires in the box.

Connect Power: Battery (DC) Power

1. Open the yellow battery housing and insert 4 ‘AA’ batteries. NOTE: Make sure the batteries are oriented according to the diagram inside the housing before testing the faucet.
2. Attach the two adapter wires and spout cable to controller.
3. Place controller into control box.
4. Connect adapter wires to battery and solenoid – gray connector to gray connector and black connector to black connector. Secure in holders on either side of solenoid.

Connect Power: LTPS (DC) Power

1. Insert LTPS battery module in control box as shown.
2. Attach the two adapter wires and spout cable to controller.
3. Place controller into control box.
4. Connect adapter wires to battery and solenoid – gray connector to gray connector and black connector to black connector. Secure in holders on either side of solenoid.

Connect Power: (AC) Power

1. Choose a location and mount  the transformer. Run the cable  from the transformer through the  opening in the control box.
2. Attach the two adapter wires and spout cable to controller.
3. Place controller into control box.
4. Connect adapter wires to solenoid – gray connector to gray connector and black connector to black connector. Secure in holders on either side of solenoid.

1. Plug the transformer into the wall.
2. Wire up the transformer to the main line.

Connect Power: Self Sustaining Power System (SSPS)

1. Insert SSPS module in control box as shown. Connect the SSPS battery pack to the turbine (blue to blue connectors). Secure lines to available slots to avoid pinching wires.
2. Attach the two adapter wires and spout cable to controller.
3. Place controller into control box.
4. Connect adapter wires to battery and solenoid – gray connector to gray connector and black connector to black connector. Secure in holders on either side of solenoid.

Completing Installation: Testing and Adjustment

1. Once wiring is complete, the red sensor light at the faucet outlet will glow continuously for 5 seconds. After the light switches off, place your hands in front of the faucet. The faucet should activate and water should flow.
2. Adjusting the Water Temperature
3. The mixer handle inside control box is used to adjust water temperature in dual-supply installations. Loosen the cap screw until the handle turns freely (do not remove the screw) with a 3mm (7/64˝) hex wrench.
4. As a safety feature the cap must be partially pulled from the valve to adjust temperature.(Move the controller if necessary to access the handle.) Turn the handle clockwise to decrease temperature or counter-clockwise to increase temperature.
5. Push the cap in and tighten cap screw.
6. Mixed water temperature must be checked at the point of use and the CFC mixing valve adjusted to ensure delivery of water at a safe temperature no exceeding 110°F (43°C). Water temperatures in excess 110°F (43°C) are dangerous and may cause scalding, severe injury or death!
7. Reinstall the control box cover and secure it with the #2 Phillips screw.

FCC Warning

• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
  • This device may not cause harmful interference, and
  • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

• Before troubleshooting, remove any objects in detection zone and make sure sensor is clear of debris. Ensure power is applied and solid red light appears during first 5 seconds after power-up.
• The faucet is leaking: From outlet – tighten or replace outlet insert using included key. From supply stops – install or replace filter screen gaskets (see diagram on pg. 1).
• No water flow or flow is limited: Make sure supply hoses are connected and supply stops are fully open. Clean or replace filter screen gaskets or outlet insert.
• Water flow does not stop: If water flows continuously but stops when hand enters detection zone, reverse solenoid electrical connections.
• Faucet does not properly detect user: Remove and reapply power or run faucet to maximum run time. This will cause automatic recalibration of sensing field. Recalibration is complete when solid red light disappears.
• If the steps above do not solve the problem, you may need to replace the spout assembly or control box. For additional information contact Chicago Faucets customer service at 800/832-8783

Care and Maintenance

• Periodic inspection and yearly maintenance by a licensed contractor is required for all thermostatic mixing elements. Corrosive water conditions and/or unauthorized adjustments or repair could render the thermostatic valve ineffective for service intended. Regular checking and cleaning of the valve’s internal components and check stops helps assure maximum life and proper product function. Frequency of cleaning and inspection depends on local water conditions. All Chicago Faucets fittings are designed and engineered to meet or exceed industry performance standards. Care should be taken when cleaning this product. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, or solvents as they can result in surface damage. Use mild soap with warm water for cleaning and protecting the surface of Chicago Faucets fittings.
