Fontana DSFD0024GS Vessel Sink and Chrome Touchless Sensor Faucet: AC / DC Power Wiring & Installation Detail

This electrical installation resource is intended to support architects, electrical and plumbing engineers, contractors, installers and maintenance personnel coordinating the Fontana DSFD0024GS vessel sink and chrome touchless sensor faucet combination. The drawing package communicates the AC 110 V power arrangement, optional DC 6 V battery operation, low-voltage controller wiring, faucet sensor lead, solenoid connection, hot and cold water supplies, cable routing and under-counter service access required for reliable touchless operation.

Fontana DSFD0024GS AC / DC Touchless Faucet Power System

The DSFD0024GS touchless faucet supports both AC 110 V powered operation and an alternate DC 6 V battery configuration. A low-voltage electronic control module receives the faucet sensor signal and controls the water-resistant solenoid valve. Hot and cold water supplies connect through flexible hoses while the power and control components remain accessible beneath the countertop.

Required AC / DC Power & Wiring Drawing Package

Each electrical coordination drawing should clearly identify the selected power source, electronic control module, faucet sensor cable, solenoid connection, hot / cold supply relationship and required under-counter service access. Wiring and plumbing should be organized so all serviceable components remain accessible after cabinet and countertop installation.

AC / DC Power Wiring & Installation Detail

Provides the complete electrical and plumbing relationship between the touchless faucet, sensor cable, controller, solenoid valve, power source and hot / cold water connections.

Main View — AC / DC Power Components

Shows the vessel sink and chrome touchless faucet above the countertop with the controller, solenoid, supply hoses and power components organized below.

Under-Counter Installation Layout

Illustrates the practical arrangement of the control module, solenoid valve, AC adapter, flexible supply hoses, sensor cable, drain piping and shutoff valves within the cabinet.

AC 110 V Wiring Schematic

Shows the controller powered by an AC 110 V adapter while the faucet sensor connects to the controller and the controller sends a low-voltage command to the solenoid valve.

DC 6 V Battery Schematic

Shows the alternate battery-powered configuration using a DC 6 V battery pack with four AA alkaline batteries connected to the electronic controller.

Sensor Cable to Controller

Identifies the low-voltage sensor lead connecting the faucet to the control module so hand-detection signals can command the water-control system.

Solenoid Control Connection

Shows the electrical lead from the controller to the water-resistant solenoid valve that opens and closes the water path during touchless operation.

Hot & Cold Water Connections

Coordinates separate hot and cold water inlets with flexible 1/2-inch supply hoses connected to the solenoid / mixing assembly beneath the faucet.

Service & Inspection Access

Maintains clear access to the power adapter or battery pack, controller, solenoid valve, wiring, supply hoses and shutoff valves for maintenance and troubleshooting.

Engineering note: The electrical and plumbing relationships shown are typical installation references. Final AC power arrangement, DC battery configuration, controller connections, solenoid wiring, hose routing, shutoff-valve locations, electrical protection, service access and component compatibility should be verified against the actual Fontana DSFD0024GS components and approved installation documentation before final installation and commissioning.

Power, Control and Wiring Coordination Considerations

AC Power Arrangement

When using AC power, position the 110 V adapter in an accessible, dry location and route its low-voltage output to the control module without crossing wet plumbing areas where practical.

DC Battery Arrangement

Where battery operation is selected, keep the 6 V battery pack accessible for replacement and away from locations subject to leaks or standing water.

Controller Access

Mount the low-voltage controller where the sensor lead, power connection and solenoid cable can be inspected, disconnected and serviced without removing the countertop.

Cable Protection

Protect sensor and solenoid wiring from sharp cabinet edges, pinch points, excessive tension, moving drawers and direct contact with plumbing joints.

Moisture Separation

Keep electrical connectors, power components and control wiring dry and positioned away from likely leak paths or areas where condensation may collect.

Service Accessibility

Do not conceal the power source, controller or solenoid behind permanent cabinet construction that prevents future inspection or replacement.

AC 110 V Installation Considerations

Power Adapter Location

Place the AC adapter where it remains accessible for disconnection and inspection while remaining protected from incidental water exposure.

Controller Power Input

Confirm the power adapter is connected to the correct controller input and that the lead is fully seated before function testing.

Low-Voltage Routing

Route low-voltage control wiring separately from supply hoses and drain fittings where practical to reduce the chance of damage or moisture exposure.

Service Disconnect

Maintain convenient access to the adapter connection so power can be disconnected before controller or solenoid maintenance.

Outlet Coordination

Coordinate the electrical outlet location with cabinet construction, drain piping and supply hoses so the adapter and cord do not interfere with plumbing service.

Final AC Test

After electrical and plumbing connections are complete, verify sensor detection, controller response, solenoid operation and automatic water shutoff.

DC 6 V Battery Installation Considerations

Battery Pack Location

Mount the battery pack within easy reach beneath the countertop so batteries can be replaced without removing plumbing or cabinet components.

Battery Configuration

The drawing shows a DC 6 V pack using four AA alkaline batteries. Verify polarity and the actual supplied battery holder before commissioning.

Moisture Protection

Keep the battery pack clear of supply fittings, drain connections and cabinet areas where water could accumulate.

Cable Slack

Provide enough cable slack for battery-pack removal and replacement without placing tension on the controller connection.

Battery Maintenance

Inspect the battery pack periodically and replace batteries as required to maintain reliable sensor and solenoid operation.

Final DC Test

Verify the controller powers correctly from the battery pack and confirm reliable faucet activation and shutoff before project handover.

Final Wiring & Commissioning Verification

Power Source Check

Confirm the selected AC 110 V or DC 6 V power source is connected correctly and supplying the controller.

Sensor Connection Check

Verify the faucet sensor lead is fully connected to the control module and remains free from pinching or damage.

Solenoid Connection Check

Confirm the solenoid control cable is securely connected and the valve opens and closes in response to the controller.

Water-Supply Check

Verify hot and cold flexible hoses are connected correctly, free from kinks and leak-free under normal operating pressure.

Touchless Function Test

Place a hand within the sensing field and confirm prompt water activation, stable delivery and proper automatic shutoff when the hand is removed.

Service Access Check

Confirm the final cabinet installation leaves the controller, solenoid valve, power source, hoses and shutoff valves accessible for future inspection and maintenance.

Professional Engineering and Electrical References

Project verification: AC / DC power and wiring drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals or manufacturer instructions. The architect, electrical engineer, plumbing engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify power requirements, outlet location, battery configuration, controller wiring, solenoid connection, sensor lead routing, moisture protection, hot / cold water connections, service access and locally adopted electrical and plumbing requirements before final installation and commissioning.
