Special Installation Note
Automatic faucets are design to perform properly in a variety of applications. There are some conditions,
however, that may adversely impact the faucet’s ability to perform. Please note the following conditions prior to
installing you new faucet:
1. Your automatic faucet is designed for indoor applications. This faucet is not designed for outdoor
applications.
2. Avoid installing your new faucet in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight that is focused on sensor will
temporarily disable faucet’s sensing capabilities.
3. If you choose to install your faucet to one water source only,
do not install to hot water only
as this
may result in scalding injury.
4.
Important:
Before connecting supply line to Faucet Automator, purge both hot and cold water lines for
at least one minute each at high volume. Purging water lines clears out dirt and debris that would
otherwise find its way to screen filter within the solenoid valve.
5.
Important:
Avoid using pipe putty on water connection to faucet. Pipe putty may cause immediate and
irreversible damage to solenoid valve. Please use Teflon tape instead.
6.
Important
: If you do not plan on using faucet immediately after installation (within 90 days of
installation), disconnect water supply lines to faucet and unload the water pressure that may be present
in faucet. This will keep new solenoid valve components from bonding together under high pressure.
