Operation:
Place hands under spout and directly in front of sensor, water will begin to flow out, flow rate is governed by aerator and supply
pressure. Water mixture is selected at MAC A-12910 mixing valve (when used) as well as water temperature in supply pipes
.
Please remember, automatic faucets employ “presence” not “motion” sensors. An idle object
placed directly underneath spout will immediately activate faucet.
Remove hands and water will cease to flow within 1-3 seconds.
If hands are left underneath spout for 30 seconds, water will automatically shut off. To initiate flow again move hands away from
faucet and start at step 1.
When attempting to run water over small objects such as tooth brush, it may be necessary to bring object closer to sensor to initiate
water flow, when water begins to flow, move object back under stream of water.
Battery Replacement Instructions:
Batteries should provide 12 to 24 months of reliable service mostly depending on the make of battery used and the frequency of
usage among other factors. Battery weakness is indicated by constantly flashing LED light within the sensor capsule. When
replacing batteries
please view drawings on page 4.
and follow these simple steps:
1.
Unfasten the 4 Philips screws located on face of the Faucet Automator FA43.
2.
Hold both water fittings down and carefully remove enclosure cover.
3.
Pull black battery holder out, and unfasten 4 Phillips screws.
Be careful not to damage wire.
4.
Replace batteries with
4 AA Duracell Copper Top
batteries only.
Make sure batteries are oriented properly in the battery holder.
5.
Reassemble black battery holder, and fasten 4 Phillips screws.
6.
Re-install battery holder into the Faucet Automator.
If battery holder was unplugged during removal, replug making sure the male and female plugs are oriented correctly.
7.
Test faucet prior to placing enclosure cover back on.
8.
Place enclosure cover back on. Fasten 4 Philips screws.
Sensor Range Adjustment:
Sensor range is self adjusting for optimal performance the moment the sensor is plugged into Automator. When plugging sensor
into Automator, make sure that no object are placed in front of sensor (such as boxes, tools, etc..)
Sensor range may be adjusted for closer range by: a. disconnecting sensor from Automator. b. placing a
TAN OBJECT such as
SHIPPING BOX
in front of sensor at the desired distance, and c. replugging sensor into Automator triggering the sensor to adjust
itself to the desired distance. This process might be repeated in order to achieve the desired performance.
***** Sensor wire must be unplugged for 60 seconds minimum before replugging *****
Please note: Sensors that are adjusted for longer range may be triggered unnecessarily by individuals walking in front of
sink. Please adjust sensor range with that in mind.
Trouble Shooting:
(Always make sure that sensor lens is clean and Duracell Copper Top batteries are fresh)
Faucet does not operate, red light does not blink in response to approaching objects:
1. Sink is blocking “sensor’s vision”, reinstall properly.
2. Hands are not placed properly under spout and inline with sensor.
3. Batteries need replacing. See battery replacement instructions.
4. Batteries installed improperly in battery pack, battery harness not plugged in properly, see installation instruction, and battery
replacement instructions.
5. Sensor wire loose, unplugged, plugged improperly, plug sensor wire properly. Please call MAC Faucets for instructions.
Faucet does not operate, red light DOES blink in response to approaching objects:
1. No water, very low water pressure in supply pipes, supply valves closed.
2. Water pressure very high, well above 115 PSI.
3. Screen filter severely clogged up.
4. Supply hoses severely kinked.
5. Batteries low or defective, replace batteries.
