Installation Requirements

Electrical Connections
Regulations: The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the national electrical regulations and installed by a qualified person.
Safety: In the interests of electrical safety a 30 mA residual current device (R.C.D not supplied) should be installed in the supply circuit. This may be part of a consumer unit or a separate unit.
Before starting work on the electrical supply ensure the power supply is isolated.
DO NOT allow the supply cord to contact hot surfaces. The cord should be safely routed and secured by cable clips.
Connections: The power supply must be permanently connected to the fixed wiring of the main supply using the factory fitted supply cord, via a switched fused spur off the ring main.
The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your connection unit proceed as follows;-
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or is colored black.
The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or is colored red.

Fuse: The following fuse size should be used.

Supply Cord Replacement
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a genuine Bristan supply cord. Contact Bristan Customer Services on 0330 026 6273 to request new spare parts.

Installation

1. Fit The Spout
   Fit the spout to the sink/basin ensuring the dispensing cable and sensor cable are threaded through the hole in the sink/basin.
   Also, ensure that the product is at least 360mm away from reflective surfaces to prevent the tap from automatically switching on and off.

2. Secure Spout to Sink / Basin
   Screw the metal back nut onto the thread of the spout up to the underside of the sink/basin.
   Tighten backnut using a suitable spanner.

3. Fit Wall Brackets
   Position the brackets onto the wall surface and mark the position of the fixing holes. Remove the brackets and drill suitable holes for the wall plugs supplied.
   ****Before drilling into walls, check that there are no hidden electrical wires, cables, or water supply pipes.
   This can be checked with the aid of an electrical detector:
   If power tools are used do not forget to:
   – Wear eye protection
   – Unplug equipment after use
   Fit the wall plugs and position the brackets into position and secure using the screws provided.

4. Attach Pump to Bottle
   Ensure the dispenser tube is located inside the bottle and push the pump down firmly onto the bottle until a loud ‘click’ is heard.
   To remove the pump from the bottle press the release button on the side of the pump and pull the pump from the bottle.
   This product should not be used to dispense alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels or liquids.

5. Connect Sensor Cable and Dispenser Cable
   Connect the sensor cable from the spout to the sensor cable on the pump. Push the two connections together and tighten the connecting ring to ensure the two connections are locked together.
   Connect the dispensing cable from the spout into the top connection on the pump.
   Push the threaded connection of the dispensing cable into the connection on the pump and tighten the nut ensuring it is fully tightened. A suitable spanner may be used to
   tighten the nut.

6. Place Pump into Bracket
   The pump has a cutout section into which the wall bracket slots.

7. Connect Power Supply Cable
   Before starting any electrical work ensure the power supply is isolated.
   Wire the electrical power cable into a switched fused spur off the ring main.
   The blue wire should be wired to the neutral connection and the brown wire should be connected to the live connection.
   Note: For full electrical requirements see ‘Electrical Connections’ in the ‘Installation Requirements’ section on page 5.
   Important: The power lead must be permanently connected to the fixed wiring of the main supply using the factory supplied power cable.
   Plug the power cable into the power cable on the pump.

8. Inserting Batteries
   Remove the battery cover by loosening the screw in the top of the cover. Insert 4 x AA batteries into the battery box ensuring they are inserted the correct way.
   Note: Only use 1.5V AA (LR6) Alkaline batteries (preferably => 2000mAh for good battery life). Replace the battery box cover and tighten the screw. Insert the battery box into the holder.
   Push the holder into the battery box wall bracket.

Commissioning

Commissioning Sequence
Before using the soap dispenser for the first time the following sequence must be carried out.
Fill the bottle full of liquid soap. Refer to the specification section on page 3 for the correct liquid soap to be used.
Important: Gels/sanitizer cannot be used, only soap in the viscosity range of 100-3500cp (mpA · s)
Locate the dispense button on the side of the pump. Press and hold the button until soap is dispensed from the spout. This will ensure the dispenser tube and cable are full of liquid soap.

Selecting Volume Adjustment
The soap dispenser has four dispense volume adjustment settings. Each adjustment setting dispenses a different volume of liquid soap.

To adjust the volume of soap dispensed follow the steps below:
Locate the volume adjustment switches under the rubber cover.
Set the switches to the required position for the desired volume adjustment setting.
Refer to the switch position diagrams.
Volume Adjustment Switch Positions

Operation

Using the Automatic Soap Dispenser

Once the user’s hands have been detected a small amount of liquid soap will be dispensed from the spout into the user’s hands.
Note: The sensing range 0 – 8cm from the sensor.
This product should not be used to dispense alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels or liquids.

Maintenance

General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high-quality finish and should be treated with care to preserve the visible surfaces. All surfaces will wear if not cleaned correctly, the only safe way to clean your mixer is to wipe with a soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed using washing-up liquid. All bath cleaning powders and liquids will damage the surface of your fitting, even the non- scratch cleaners.
Note: Never use abrasive detergents or disinfectants or those containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid, or phosphoric acid.

Troubleshooting

Symptom| Cause| Remedy
Spout does not
dispense soap.| Sensor cable not connected.| Check that the sensor cable is connected. If not connected, connect the sensor cable. Refer to the ‘Installation’ section.
Possible blockage in dispense tube or dispense cable.| Remove the pump from the bottle and clean the tube. Remove dispense cable from pump and clean.
Low or no soap in a bottle.| Fill the bottle with liquid soap. When soap is at approximately 20mm from the bottom top soap up.
No electrical power to pump.| Ensure the power cable is connected. Refer to the ‘Installation’ section.
Soap used is not suitable for this product.| This product can only be used with hand-washing soaps that fall within the viscosity shown in the Specification. Due to the complex nature of the hand sanitizers/gels being used, it is difficult to predict how they act when pumped (even if on paper they have the correct viscosity). Some are manufactured to thicken when friction/heat/ movement is applied in order to help them absorb, and this property can block the pump mechanism.
Sensor light not
working.| Sensor light faulty.| Contact Bristan Customer Services
Batteries are exhausted.| Replace batteries. Ensure batteries are 1.5V AA (LR6) Alkaline batteries (preferably =>2000mAh) for good battery life.
Short cycles of
batteries.| Incorrect batteries fitted.
Infrared sensor
flickering.| Batteries running low.
No power to the
spout.| The mains power cable is not connected.| Check mains power supply.

Insert/change batteries. Refer to the ‘Installation’ section.

The mains power supply failed and no batteries fitted or batteries low.
Spout dispenses
soap randomly
without a user
present.| Object in the sensing range. Reflective surfaces, i.e. High Visibility jacket/clothing activate the sensor.| Ensure the sensing range is clear. Ensure that the product is at least 360mm from reflective surfaces.
