Fontana FS8014ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet: Electrical and Control Diagram

This electrical and control diagram is intended to support architects, electrical engineers, plumbing engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the selected valve-kit configuration for the Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted automatic sensor faucet. The drawing package identifies the power supply, transformer or battery holder, electronic controller, infrared sensor, solenoid valve, cable connectors, applicable polarity, low-voltage cable routing, separation from water lines, and the service access required for transformer or battery maintenance.

Fontana Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet

The Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted faucet may be coordinated with a compatible automatic sensor valve kit using either an AC transformer or an approved battery-power arrangement. The infrared sensor sends an activation signal to the electronic control module, which energizes the solenoid valve and permits water to flow to the faucet. All control components, connectors and power-service points should remain protected and accessible.

  • Model: FS8014ORB
  • Installation: Wall mounted with concealed sensor controls
  • Finish: Oil rubbed bronze
  • Fixture type: Automatic sensor faucet
  • Sensor: Infrared sensor integrated with faucet trim
  • Controller: Electronic control module
  • Water control: Low-voltage solenoid valve
  • AC configuration: Transformer or approved power adapter
  • DC configuration: Battery holder or battery pack
  • Connections: Quick-connect cable connectors
  • Polarity: Observe positive and negative markings where applicable
  • Service requirement: Accessible transformer or battery location

Required Electrical and Control Drawing Package

Each diagram should use a consistent line hierarchy, component-numbering system and product-identification block. Low-voltage control cables should be visually distinguished from building power wiring and water lines. The selected AC or battery configuration, connector types, applicable polarity, sensor route, solenoid connection and service-access requirements should be clearly identified before concealed walls or access enclosures are completed.

Complete Electrical and Control Diagram

Shows the full control relationship between the wall-mounted infrared sensor faucet, sensor cable, electronic controller, solenoid valve and selected power source. The drawing should distinguish the low-voltage cable routes from the water path and identify all accessible connectors, service points and removable power components.

Power Supply Configuration

Identifies the applicable power arrangement selected for the valve kit. The drawing should show either the building-powered transformer configuration or the approved battery-holder configuration and should label the controlled low-voltage output serving the electronic module and solenoid assembly.

Transformer or Battery Holder

Documents the transformer, power adapter, battery holder or battery pack serving the control system. The component should be installed in a dry, protected and accessible location with sufficient space for cable connection, inspection, replacement and routine service.

Electronic Controller

Identifies the control module receiving signals from the infrared sensor and sending the operating command to the solenoid valve. The drawing should label the sensor, power and valve connections and show the controller mounted securely within the service-access area.

Infrared Sensor and Sensor Cable

Shows the infrared sensor incorporated into or connected to the faucet spout and the low-voltage cable leading to the controller. The cable route should remain protected from sharp edges, excessive heat, moisture accumulation, compression and interference from other building services.

Solenoid Valve Connection

Documents the electrical connection between the controller and solenoid valve. The solenoid should be shown as the electrically operated water-control component and should remain accessible for connection testing, coil inspection, valve service and replacement.

Cable Connectors and Polarity

Identifies the quick-connect plugs or cable connectors used between the power source, controller, sensor and solenoid valve. Where polarity applies, positive and negative conductors should be labeled clearly and connected according to the approved valve-kit instructions.

Low-Voltage Routing and Water-Line Separation

Shows the low-voltage cable route separately from water piping, flexible hoses and potential leak points. Cables should be supported and arranged to avoid direct contact with water lines, fittings, sharp surfaces and moving service components within the concealed access area.

Battery or Transformer Service Access

Defines the access required to inspect the transformer, disconnect the power adapter, replace batteries and service the electronic controller. The access panel should allow components to be removed without disturbing permanent tile, wall board or decorative wall finishes.

Engineering note: The electrical arrangement should correspond with the specific valve kit selected for the project. Do not connect building AC power directly to low-voltage controller, sensor or solenoid terminals. Verify voltage, connector orientation, polarity, transformer output, battery requirements and cable routing against the approved FontanaShowers installation instructions before energizing the system.

Electrical, Plumbing and Service Coordination Considerations

Selected Power Arrangement

Confirm whether the valve kit uses an AC transformer or battery holder before rough-in so the required power source, access space and replacement procedure can be coordinated.

Voltage Verification

Verify the required input and output voltage before making connections. Use only the transformer, adapter, battery holder and controller specified for the selected valve kit.

Polarity Control

Where connectors are polarity-sensitive, match positive and negative conductors exactly as identified in the approved wiring diagram and on the supplied connectors.

Water-Line Separation

Maintain physical separation between low-voltage cables and water lines, valves and hose connections. Arrange wiring above or away from likely leak or condensation points where practical.

Connector Protection

Ensure quick-connect plugs are fully seated, locked and protected from strain. Do not leave loose connectors resting against wet surfaces or unsupported piping components.

Service Accessibility

Keep the controller, transformer, battery holder, connectors and solenoid valve accessible for testing, battery replacement, troubleshooting and future component replacement.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Electrical and control diagrams are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals or the instructions supplied with the selected valve kit. The architect, electrical engineer, plumbing engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the power supply, transformer or battery holder, electronic controller, infrared sensor, solenoid valve, connector types, polarity, low-voltage routing, water-line separation, service access, electrical protection, accessibility requirements and locally adopted codes before installation and commissioning.
