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

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.
