TROUBLESHOOTING

* “Security Mode”: If the sensor is covered for more than 90 sec. the outlet will automatically shut off water flow. 
To return to normal operation remove any blockage.
** In this case, the water flow will stop anyway after 90 seconds because of the security time.

SOLUTION

CAUSE

 INDICATOR

 PROBLEM

Replace battery

Low battery.

1.Sensor flashes 

continuously when 

user’s hands are 

within the sensor’s 

range.

No water 

coming out 

of the outlet:

Increase the range

1. Range is too short.

2. LED  in the sen-

sor does not flash 

once when user’s 

hands   are within 

the sensor’s range.

Decrease the range

2. Range is too long.

The battery must be replaced. 

3. Battery is completely used up 

4. Unit is in “Security Mode”*

Eliminate cause of reflection. 

5. Sensor is picking up reflections from the 

washbasin or another object.

Unscrew solenoid, pull out the 

plunger and the spring from 

the solenoid and clean them. 

Use scale remover material if 

needed. When replacing the 

plunger, please make sure that 

the spring is in vertical position. 

1. Debris or scale in solenoid.

3. LED  in the sen-

sor flashes once 

when user’s hands 

are within the sen-

sor’s range.

Clean the orifice or replace 

diaphragm. 

2. The central orifice in the diaphragm is 

plugged or the diaphragm is torn

Reduce the supply water pres-

sure.

3. The water supply pressure is higher than 

8 bar.

Shut off water supply and un-

screw one of the flexible pipes 

in order to reduce the pressure 

that blocks the product.

4. The water supply pressure is under 8 bars 

and yet the pressure in the outlet’s body is 

higher. This situation could be caused by a 

sudden increase in the water supply pressure 

that the backcheck prevents from dropping, 

even after water supply pressure drops under 

8 bars.

Clean the orifice or replace 

diaphragm. 

1. Debris or scale in diaphragm

1. Sensor flashes 

once when user’s 

hands are within 

the sensor’s range. 

Water flow 

from spout 

does not 

stop:

Connect the connectors prop-

erly. Refer to pages 8/13/17 to 

see how.

2. Connectors between the electronic unit and 

the Dual power input box are disconnected or 

not connected properly

Clean or eliminate case of 

interference.

1. Sensor is dirty or covered.**

2. LED  in the sen-

sor does not flash 

once when user’s 

hands are within 

the sensor’s range.

Decrease the range or eliminate 

cause of reflection. 

2. Sensor is picking up reflections from the 

washbasin or another object.

Remove, clean, re-install

Filter or aerator is clogged

Water flow 

diminished
