Fontana MotionWave™ Line Touchless Bathroom Faucet:
Performance Verification
This commissioning performance-verification resource supports architects,
plumbing engineers, electrical engineers, contractors, commissioning personnel
and facility managers evaluating the Fontana MotionWave™ Line FS7035BG
wall-mounted touchless bathroom faucet after installation. The verification
process reviews sensor response, valve operation, water delivery, shut-off,
splash control, power stability and concealed-system serviceability before
final project handover.

Performance Verification Scope
The commissioning record should verify that the installed faucet responds
reliably to normal hand movement, delivers water into the intended basin
capture zone, shuts off consistently, remains leak-free and maintains
stable operation through repeated cycles. Sensor, plumbing, valve, power
and service conditions should be checked after all permanent architectural
finishes and basin components are installed.
Complete Functional Test
Verify sensor activation, valve opening, water delivery,
shut-off and final basin performance in one complete operating cycle.
Sensor Activation Test
Move hands into the intended detection zone and confirm
the faucet activates consistently.
Sensor Response Stability
Repeat hand movement through the sensing zone and verify
consistent response without intermittent cycling.
Front Approach Test
Test faucet activation from the normal user approach
position directly in front of the basin.
Side Approach Test
Check activation from both sides of the intended hand-washing
zone to confirm reliable sensing coverage.
False Activation Test
Leave the basin area clear and verify fixed surfaces do
not cause unintended faucet operation.
Reflective Surface Review
Check polished basin, drain, wall and nearby surfaces for
conditions that could affect sensor performance.
Valve Opening Test
Confirm the sensor-controlled valve opens reliably whenever
a valid activation signal is received.
Valve Shut-Off Test
Remove hands from the sensor zone and verify the valve
closes promptly and consistently.
Repeated Cycle Test
Complete multiple activation and shut-off cycles to check
stable operation through repeated use.
Flow Verification
Confirm water delivery remains consistent through the
installed faucet and valve assembly.
Water Stream Alignment
Verify the water stream enters the intended basin capture
zone rather than striking the basin rim.
Impact Zone Check
Observe the actual water landing point and confirm it
remains within the usable washing area.
Splash Performance
Operate the faucet repeatedly and confirm basin geometry
and stream position do not create excessive splash.
Basin Clearance Check
Confirm adequate hand-washing clearance exists between
the faucet outlet and basin interior.
Supply Connection Test
Inspect the 1/2-inch NPT water-supply connection under
normal operating pressure.
Valve Joint Inspection
Check inlet and outlet valve connections for leakage
during operation and after shut-off.
Leak Verification
Inspect concealed and exposed plumbing joints and confirm
no leakage is present before handover.
Power Stability Test
Verify the approved power configuration supports consistent
sensor and valve operation during repeated cycles.
Controller Response
Confirm the controller receives sensor input and commands
the valve reliably during operation.
Connector Inspection
Check sensor, valve-control and power connectors for
secure engagement and dry conditions.
Cable Condition Check
Verify concealed wiring is supported and free from pinching,
sharp bends or mechanical damage.
Service Access Check
Confirm valve, controller, connectors and water connections
remain accessible for future maintenance.
Final Acceptance Test
Complete the final operating sequence and document satisfactory
sensor, hydraulic and control-system performance.
Engineering note:
Commissioning criteria must not be based on estimated product performance.
Confirm sensor settings, valve operation, water-supply requirements,
power configuration and final testing criteria from the approved
FontanaShowers specification sheet or project submittal before acceptance.

Recommended Commissioning Sequence
1. Review Approved Submittals
Confirm the installed model, control arrangement and
manufacturer commissioning requirements.
2. Inspect Installation
Check faucet alignment, basin relationship, concealed
components and service access before operation.
3. Confirm Water Supply
Verify the water supply is connected, flushed and ready
for operational testing.
4. Inspect Plumbing Joints
Check the 1/2-inch NPT connection, valve inlet and outlet
before energizing the control system.
5. Verify Power
Confirm the approved power arrangement and controller
connections are secure.
6. Initialize Sensor
Energize the touchless system and allow the sensor-control
system to initialize.
7. Test Detection Zone
Move hands through the intended wash zone and confirm
reliable faucet activation.
8. Test Valve Operation
Confirm the valve opens and closes correctly in response
to the sensor-control system.
9. Verify Water Stream
Check the actual stream alignment, basin impact location
and splash condition.
10. Repeat Operating Cycles
Complete multiple activation and shut-off cycles to
confirm stable performance.
11. Inspect for Leakage
Check all accessible plumbing joints after repeated
operation and shut-off.
12. Record Final Acceptance
Document satisfactory operation and any final calibration
completed before project handover.
Final Performance Criteria
Reliable Activation
The faucet should recognize normal hand movement throughout
the intended sensing area.
Prompt Shut-Off
Water flow should stop consistently after hands leave
the active detection zone.
Stable Water Delivery
Flow should remain consistent during normal touchless
operation without irregular cycling.
Controlled Impact
The water stream should enter the intended basin zone
without excessive rebound or splash.
Leak-Free Connections
All accessible supply, valve and faucet connections should
remain dry under operating conditions.
Stable Control Response
The sensor, controller and control valve should operate
consistently through repeated cycles.
Secure Electrical Connections
Power and control connectors should remain secure,
protected and accessible.
Maintainable Installation
Concealed serviceable components should remain reasonably
accessible after final construction.
