DESCRIPTION 

 
Speakman SENSORFLO faucet.  Battery powered low spout lavatory sensor faucet.  All metal spout assembly consists of 
polished chrome plated removable cover and black powder coated chassis. Sensor module powered by two (2) 3-volt DC 
lithium batteries with waterproof connectors housed above counter in faucet body.  Low battery warning light.  Solenoid with 
built-in filter.  Vandal resistant 60 second time out feature.  Water conserving vandal resistant recessed aerator reduces water 
flow to 2.2 GPM / 8.4 LPM to meet requirements of ANSI A112.18.1M for flow rates.  ADA compliant.  Note:  3/8’ Stainless 
Steel Hoses are optional.

INSTALLATION 

 
Remove cover from faucet body.  Disconnect sensor module wires and remove module from faucet.  Remove battery cover 
from module and install new batteries, taking care to ensure correct polarity.  Reassemble in reverse order as above.  Make sure 
module wire is plugged in and clipped into place on top of the module.  Wires should be on the inside of cover screw bosses of 
chassis to prevent pinching.  Reattach cover to faucet with screws and wrench provided.  Install vandal resistant aerator with 
wrench provided.  Ensure gasket is properly seated on bottom of faucet chassis.  Carefully feed wire from faucet through deck 
hole, mounting faucet on fixture.  Attach notched wire guard (notched end up) washer and lock nut onto faucet shank and 
secure faucet to fixture.  CAUTION: Sensor module wire must be inside channel of rubber wire guard to keep wire from being 
pinched or cut when tightening washer and lock nut.    Attach outlet of solenoid valve to shank of faucet.  Attach supply to 
solenoid valve using 3/8” compression fittings.  DRY CONNECTIONS ONLY.  Connect wire from faucet to solenoid valve.  
With drain installed, turn on water and activate the faucet, checking for proper operation and all connections for leaks.   
 

OPERATION

 

 
Speakman SENSORFLO faucets are thoughtfully designed for all in mind.  Require no handles to turn, lift or push, water flows 
only when hands are in the lavatory basin.  Built in vandal resistant circuitry shuts off the water after continuous flow of 
approximately 60 seconds.  This feature prevents flooding; water is easily turned on again by placing one’s hands under the 
lavatory spout.   
 

MAINTENANCE (CARE & CLEANING)

 

 
Your SENSORFLO faucet is designed and engineered in accordance with the highest quality and performance standards.  With 
proper care it will provide years of trouble free service.  Periodically the faucet will require some minor maintenance to keep it 
performing at peak performance.  The sensor module has a built-in low battery indicator light located in the center of the 
rectangle infrared lens.  This red light will come on when the faucet has approximately 30,000 on/off cycles remaining or 10% 
of battery life.  To replace the batteries follow the first portion of the installation instructions above.  Periodically check the 
solenoid filter for debris.  If debris is present clean the filter toughly.  The polished chrome finish of your faucet should be 
cleaned using mild soap and warm water.  Dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth for best results.
