About
A wall mounted, sensor operated trip and run hands free tap or wave on/wave off that is
installed onto sinks and basins. Available with spout (TW-WMSXXX) or as is (AESW).
The Britex Sensor flow electronic tap is a wall mounted, sensor operated hands free tap that
is installed onto sinks & basins. It operates by sensing an object, usually a hand, passing within
around 7cm of the front of the sensor unit. It uses a beam of invisible infra red light which, if
reflected from an object back to the sensor, will operate the unit.
The wall mounted plastic sensor kit consists of a sensor unit similar in appearance to a normal
power point (115W x 75H x25D), a solenoic valve and a plug pack. The stainless steel sensor has
the electronics mounted to stainless steel plate most installation problems are
caused through damaging the unit at installation time or the selection of an inappropriate
installation location, so select the location carefully and take care with the installation.

Please note this item is pre programmed to trip and run setting
as per these notes. Wave on/ Wave off models are special order.
The unit can be conveniently viewed as shown here:
The function block is programmed to operate as a hands in front, trip & run ( or a special order:
wave on, wave off type) hands free tap. The unit has on the printed circuit assemble 6 miniature
switches. Setting these switches determines the type of operation the tap takes on.

Switch 1 & 2. These switches directly effect the power
of the IR Led & therefore the sensing range of the unit.
ATTENTION: THIS UNIT IS PRESET TO
MEDIUM LOW SENSITIVITY TO RUN
FOR 12 SECONDS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CHANGE SETTINGS WITHOUT READING
AND FULLY UNDERSTANDING THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
* Setting Pre-selected
Switch 3. This switch selects the type of operation
the unit takes on when configured as a wall mounted
sensor tap i.e. Sw6 is set to off. Sw3 Off means the
unit will operate as a Wave On, Wave Off unit, Sw On
means the unit will operate as a Trip & Run unit. Please
note that this only holds true if Sw6 is set to off.
Switches 4 & 5. These switches select one of four
pre-set dead man timeout periods for the units,
depending if it is operating as a Trip & Run or
Wave On, Wave Off unit, that is, how long the trap
will continue to run if held in the operated state,
e.g. not waved off & left running.
* Setting Pre-selected
Switch 6. Closing this switch causes the unit to operate
as a hands in front type unit. Sw3, together with Sw4
& Sw5 then serve only to select the dead man time
out period of the tap as detailed above eg. all 3 switches
closed give a time of 15 secs, all open 30 secs, etc.
Once Sw6 is closed, Sw3 does not change the
operation of the tap.
Pipe Flush Option:
Units may be optionally programmed to provide a pipe
flush option. This allows a tap to run for an extended
pre-programmed period, up to 255 seconds to flush pipes
etc. If available this function is called up by waving a hand
past the units 4 times at 1 second intervals, within a 5
second period.
Flexibility:
This is a much more flexible & capable design
able to cater within reason with requests for special
operating requirements & features.
Electrical Specifications:
Supply voltage 24VACStandby power consumption,
solenoid valve not operated: 150mWatts
Power Consumption: Depends on the solenoid valve
connected to the unit up to 16watts
Solenoid valve: 24VAC up to 16watts
