🔹 Adjusting the Sensor’s Detection Range

• Purpose: Room geometry, basin shape, lighting, and reflectivity influence IR sensing.

• How it works:

  • Using the remote, staff can increase or decrease the detection distance (≈2″–12″ typical).

  • Fine-tuning prevents accidental triggers (reflections) and mitigates non-detection in deeper basins.

• Benefit for architects & operators: Particularly useful in retrofit installations with fixed sink geometries.

🔹 Resetting the Sensor Calibration

• Purpose: Lighting changes, splash, or residue can shift sensitivity.

• How it works:

  • One-button reset restores factory defaults.

  • Performed without accessing the solenoid box or disassembling the faucet.

• Benefit: Reduces downtime, simplifies troubleshooting, keeps fixtures running optimally.

🔹 Disable / Enable Sensor Function (Maintenance Mode)

• Purpose: Clean basins without triggering flow.

• How it works:

  • One button temporarily disables activation.

  • Re-enable immediately post-cleaning.

• Benefit: Saves water during cleaning, prolongs solenoid life, streamlines workflow in airports, hotels, hospitals.

🔹 Power Supply Flexibility (AC / DC Dual Mode)

• Details: Mirrors the faucet’s dual power design—battery (DC) or AC hardwired.

• Why important:

  • Retrofits: Battery-only installs avoid rewiring.

  • New builds: AC reduces battery maintenance.

• Integration: The remote communicates with the faucet PCB regardless of power mode.

🔹 Construction Quality & Compliance

• Housing: Solid brass faucet bodies with durable PVD finishes (chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold, antique brass).

• Electronics: Water-resistant solenoid housing, sealed PCB.

• Certifications: ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 for safety and code acceptance.

🔹 Water Flow & Timeout Control

• Factory defaults: Typical flow 0.5–1.5 gpm.

• Adjustments: Swap aerators to modify flow rates.

• Remote-tied safety: Supported models allow remote limit of max runtime (up to ~60 s), preventing overflow if the sensor is blocked.

• Why: Water conservation and flood prevention.
