Fontana Lyon Hands Free Commercial Automatic Goose Neck Brushed Nickel Sensor Faucet
Solenoid Response Control, 20 cm Infrared Calibration & Commercial Hydraulic Stability
Engineered for heavy-traffic washrooms, this solid-brass sensor faucet combines 1.3 GPM delivery, 6V electronic control, and automatic shutoff for dependable touch-free operation.
How should the factory-set 20 cm sensing distance be evaluated during commissioning?
The approximately 20 cm detection field should be verified after the faucet and basin are completely installed. Basin reflectivity, bowl geometry, and nearby surfaces can influence infrared return signals, so repeated hand-entry tests should confirm reliable activation without false triggering from stationary objects.
How does the 0.05–0.6 MPa operational pressure range influence hydraulic specification?
The operating envelope corresponds to approximately 7.3–87 PSI. Engineers should verify dynamic pressure at the DN15 supply connection during peak fixture demand because upstream friction losses can affect the specified 1.3 GPM discharge even when static pressure remains within the allowable range.
What is the engineering significance of the 0.5-second control delay?
The specified 0.5-second delay provides controlled electronic response between infrared detection and valve operation. This helps distinguish intentional hand presence from extremely brief disturbances within the sensing field while retaining sufficiently rapid activation for high-frequency commercial handwashing cycles.
How does the 60-second automatic cutoff protect a high-traffic installation?
If continuous detection persists, electrical power to the valve automatically terminates after approximately 60 seconds. This limits uncontrolled water discharge caused by sensor obstruction or prolonged activation while reducing unnecessary hydraulic demand and water consumption in unattended commercial environments.
