Fontana FS-9564BN Commercial Brushed Nickel Touchless Automatic Sensor Sink Faucet:
Infrared Sensor Detection Zone Drawing
This infrared sensor detection-zone resource is intended to support architects,
plumbing engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility
managers coordinating the Fontana FS-9564BN touchless automatic sensor sink faucet.
The drawing package communicates the adjustable infrared sensing field in side,
front and top views, the relationship between the detection zone and the 121 mm
(4.75 in.) spout reach, response timing, hand positioning and environmental
conditions that may influence touchless activation performance.
Fontana FS-9564BN Infrared Touchless Sensor System
The FS-9564BN uses an infrared sensor beneath the faucet outlet to detect
hands within the basin area and automatically activate water flow. The
illustrated sensing field is adjustable and should be commissioned after
installation to suit the actual sink, countertop, lighting and surrounding
materials.
- Model: FS-9564BN
- Fixture type: Touchless automatic sensor sink faucet
- Sensor type: Infrared (IR)
- Detection zone: 16–32 cm (6.3–12.6 in.), adjustable
- Spout reach: 121 mm (4.75 in.)
- Opening response: Less than 1 second
- Closing response: Less than 2 seconds
- Power option: DC 6V (4 AA alkaline batteries)
- AC option: 220–240V, 50/60Hz
- Connection: G1/2 hot and cold supply
- Primary application: Commercial and high-use lavatory environments
Required Infrared Sensor Detection Zone Drawing Package
Each drawing should use a consistent sensor-zone graphic, dimension style and
product identification block. The package should clearly identify the adjustable
detection range, sensing-field width, spout reach, recommended hand position,
response timing and any environmental considerations that may affect reliable
activation. Final sensor settings should be verified during commissioning.
Infrared Sensor Detection Zone
Shows the complete sensing arrangement for the FS-9564BN using side, front and top views. The drawing provides the primary reference for evaluating sensor coverage over the basin and coordinating handwashing use.
Side Detection Zone
Illustrates the infrared sensing field extending downward and forward beneath the spout. The adjustable operating range is shown as approximately 16–32 cm (6.3–12.6 in.).
Front Detection Zone
Shows the width and symmetry of the sensing field when viewed from the user position. The zone should cover the intended handwashing area without extending unnecessarily into adjacent countertop space.
Top Detection Zone
Defines the plan-view sensing field over the basin and helps identify potential interference from basin edges, countertop accessories, reflective materials or nearby fixtures.
Adjustable Sensing Range
Identifies the nominal 16–32 cm detection range. Final adjustment should account for the actual sink depth, faucet position and user approach to minimize false activation or missed detection.
Spout-Reach Coordination
Coordinates the 121 mm (4.75 in.) spout reach with the sensor field so both the water stream and activation zone remain centered within the usable basin area.
Fast Response
Shows a nominal opening response of less than one second, allowing water to activate quickly after hands enter the detection field.
Automatic Shutoff Response
Identifies a nominal closing response of less than two seconds after hands leave the sensing zone, supporting efficient automatic operation.
Environmental Performance Factors
Sensor performance may vary with object reflectivity, color, ambient light and surrounding surfaces. Highly reflective or unusually dark objects should be evaluated during commissioning.
Engineering note:
The infrared sensing zone shown is nominal and adjustable. Do not scale the
drawing. Verify the final sensor range, faucet position, basin geometry,
countertop conditions, lighting environment and surrounding materials during
commissioning using the current FontanaShowers installation instructions and
approved project documentation.
Sensor, Architectural and Installation Coordination Considerations
Basin Alignment
Coordinate the sensing field and 121 mm spout reach with the basin so users can place their hands naturally within both the water stream and activation zone.
Sensor Window Clearance
Keep the infrared sensor area unobstructed by countertop accessories, soap containers, decorative items or other fixtures.
Reflective Surfaces
Avoid placing highly reflective surfaces directly within or opposite the sensor field where they could contribute to unwanted activation.
Ambient Lighting
Evaluate unusual lighting conditions during commissioning because strong or changing light sources may influence infrared sensing performance.
Range Adjustment
Adjust the sensing range after installation so hands are detected reliably without extending the field farther than necessary.
Commissioning Test
Test repeated activation and shutoff from typical user positions and verify stable performance before placing the faucet into service.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References
Project verification:
Infrared sensor detection-zone drawings are coordination tools and do not replace
approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, contractor and
qualified installer should verify the adjustable sensing range, spout reach,
basin alignment, sensor clearance, environmental conditions, power requirements,
accessibility criteria and locally adopted codes before final commissioning.
