User Operation

The faucet utilizes capacitive sensing technology to create an omni-directional detection zone surrounding the spout. Water flow is initiated when the user's hands enter the detection zone regardless of angle of approach. The faucet will shut off after hands are removed from the zone conserving water while users groom or dry hands.

Component Operation

The Aerada 1200 Series CS faucet uses a 6 VDC battery powered control module to open and close a motor driven valve. The detection zone is automatically set when power is initially supplied to the faucet. Optional 100-120 VAC plug-in adapters are available for both single and multi-faucet applications.

The faucet is powered by (4) ‘D’-cell alkaline batteries (included). Batteries are mounted in a separate battery box, which can be remotely located beneath the fixture. Battery life varies by battery. Average battery life will yield approximately 500,000 activations under normal use.

The incoming water supply can be tempered or cold. An optional Bradley Vernatherm™ Thermostatic Mixing Valve can be utilized to mix hot and cold supplies and deliver tempered water at a temperature no greater than 105°F.

The Aerada 1200 Series CS faucet creates an omni-directional detection zone utilizing capacitive sensing technology. The capacitive sensing field triggers faucet activation only when a significant change in the capacitive field occurs. Only human presence will create a significant change in the capacitive field. As such, inanimate objects will not trigger faucet activation. The faucet is unaffected by varying skin tones, other infrared presence and soap scum build-up.

Valve

The electronically activated motor driven valve provides reliable performance since there are few moving parts. The valve includes an in-line filter to trap debris and is unaffected by lines. The valve and electronics are enclosed in a water-resistant housing mounted below the fixture.

Operating water pressure range is 20-80 psi. Flow regulator keeps flow rate constant at all pressures. The flow is laminar at a rate of .5 gpm.

Body

Chrome plated solid brass body. Centershank or 4" centerset mounting (with included trimplate). 8" trimplate available separately.

Sanitary

Hands-free operation reduces water/soap splatter and addresses the public’s increasing awareness and concern about communicable diseases. Laminar flow reduces the potential for airborne bacteria to contaminate the water stream and reduces backsplash of water when it hits the bowl.

Vandal Resistant

For maximum vandal-resistance, use of an anti-rotational trim-plate (4" included) is recommended. There are no surface-mounted controls to tempt vandals. Due to the type of technology used to create faucet activation, infrared sensor windows are not utilized. The entire spout is solid brass eliminating vandalism to any infrared components. The faucet will only activate when human presence enters the detection zone; a stationary object will not cause water flow. The vandal resistant laminar flow outlet can only be removed with a standard spanner wrench.

The 1200 Series CS faucet is Uniform Plumbing Code (c/UPC) approved through the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) for use in Canada and the United States.

ASME A112.18.1

The 1200 Series CS faucet meets the A112.18.1 standard for plumbing fixture fittings.

ADA Compliance

Capacitive sensing technology creates an omni-directional detection zone which allows even severely disabled users to easily activate the faucet regardless of angle of approach, thereby meeting guidelines provided by ANSI A117-1. most chemicals and minerals found in municipal water supplies. Valve features a factory-set maximum water run-on duration of 15 seconds. Valve control module features a manual override control for applications requiring periodic flushing of the water
