Fontana American Standard Deck-Mounted Sensor Faucet: Electrical Control Diagram

This electrical control diagram resource is intended to support architects, electrical engineers, plumbing engineers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the Fontana American Standard deck-mounted automatic sensor faucet. The drawing package identifies the infrared sensor, sensor cable, control box, AC transformer or battery power supply, solenoid valve, electrical routing, low-voltage connections, automatic shutoff signal and commissioning sequence required for reliable touchless operation.

Fontana American Standard Deck-Mounted Sensor Faucet

The electrical control system manages automatic faucet operation through communication between the infrared sensor, electronic control module and solenoid valve. The system activates water flow when a valid sensor signal is received and automatically closes the solenoid after the user leaves the detection area.

The electrical diagram should be used for coordination of power supply routing, controller location, low-voltage cable management, solenoid wiring and commissioning. Final electrical requirements should always be confirmed using the approved FontanaShowers specification sheet and installation instructions.

Required Electrical Control Diagram Package

Each electrical drawing should use a consistent symbol set, cable identification, wiring references and product identification block. The diagram should distinguish power input, sensor communication, controller functions, solenoid output and service-access locations.

Electrical Control Diagram

Shows the complete electrical relationship between the power supply, infrared sensor, control box, solenoid valve and faucet.

Power Supply

Identifies the incoming electrical source supplying the faucet control system. The installation may use an AC transformer or model-approved battery pack depending on the selected configuration.

Battery Pack

Illustrates the optional battery power arrangement used on battery-operated models and identifies the service-access location for replacement.

AC Transformer

Shows the low-voltage transformer supplying the controller. The transformer location should remain accessible for future inspection and replacement.

Control Box

Identifies the electronic controller responsible for processing sensor signals and operating the solenoid valve.

Infrared Sensor Input

Shows the communication path between the infrared sensor and the controller. The sensor cable should remain protected from damage and moisture.

Sensor Cable

Illustrates the low-voltage cable routing between the faucet body and electronic controller while avoiding sharp bends or compression.

Solenoid Output

Shows the electrical connection from the controller to the solenoid valve responsible for automatic water flow control.

Cable Routing

Defines the recommended routing path for all electrical cables within the cabinet while maintaining separation from plumbing lines and moving components.

Moisture Protection

Identifies areas requiring protection from water exposure, condensation and cleaning chemicals to maintain long-term electrical reliability.

Automatic Shutoff Signal

Shows the electrical signal generated when the user leaves the sensor field, instructing the controller to close the solenoid and stop water flow.

Commissioning Verification

Illustrates the final electrical testing sequence confirming power availability, sensor communication, controller response and solenoid operation.

Engineering note: Electrical control diagrams are coordination documents only and should not replace the approved FontanaShowers wiring diagram, installation instructions or project electrical documentation. Verify voltage, polarity, cable routing, controller configuration, power source, grounding requirements and local electrical codes before energizing the system.

Project verification: The architect, electrical engineer, plumbing engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the final power supply, controller location, cable routing, sensor wiring, solenoid connection, moisture protection, commissioning procedure and locally adopted electrical requirements before placing the automatic sensor faucet into service.
