AUSTERE – BATTERY POWERED

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.
• Sanela Austere Sensor Tap
• Sensor activated tapware for cold and pre-mixed water. High quality electronics combined with elegant aesthetics.

Specifications

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

Standard Functions

1. Hands within active range, water flows
2. Hands removed from active range, water stops

• Operating pressure range
• After 5 mins of use water will stop

Faucet Installation

• Install 1/2” angle valve

• Flush lines thoroughly

• Fit mounting screws, o-ring and rubber gasket

• Pass mounting screws, hose and electrical connections through vanity.

• Fit mounting plate and hex nuts

• Fit filter into angle valve

• Fit remaining connection hose and solenoid. Note arrow on solenoid valve for water flow direction

• Connect faucet to solenoid valve

• Turn angle valve on and check all connections

• Remove lid of battery housing

• Insert 4 x AA batteries into housing ensuring correct polarity

• Place batteries back in housing and close lid securely

• Connect battery to faucet by aligning guide lines on respective cables

• Secure battery housing to the wall using the adhe-sive strips provided.
  

• Once the battery housing is connected, 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.

• Do not come within active range

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.

• Activation Range
• Time Delay
• Hygienic Flush

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.
• Check batteries periodically. Flashing lights will indicate when the battery voltage is below 10% capacity

Troubleshooting

No water flow – is LED on sensor flashing red when hands are within active range?|

• Water supply
• Water connections
• Filter is clogged

• Reconnect plugs from faucet to solenoid valve
• Replace batteries
• Replace solenoid

No water flow – LED on sensor NOT flashing when hands are within active range.|

• Power supply
• IR sensor damaged
• Faulty IR sensor

|

• Check battery housing connection & batteries
• Replace IR sensor filter
• Replace IR sensor

Water doesn’t stop flowing|

• Dirty IR sensor
• Obstruction in detection zone
• 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
