Quick Explanation
An object'1'disrupts or enters the proximity sensor zone'2', the infra red sensor'3'detects the object and sends an
electronic signal to the solenoid valve'5' (inside the control box)via a signal wire'4'. The solenoid valve opens up to let
water supply'6'through it, and water is fed to the user'8'via the exible hose'7'connected to the tap.
DETAILED EXPLANATION
1- Object/Hands
An object i.e. hands approaches the sensor eye'3'
The infrared proximity is triggered or disrupted once an object enters its infrared sensing zone'2'
2- Infrared sensor range
The proximity sensor zone is live once powered (Typical sensor range20-26cmwide)
3- Sensor eye
The sensor eye part beams out infra red signal
4- Sensor signal wire
The sensor signal wire transfers or sends an electronic signal to the solenoid valve'5'to OPEN or CLOSE
5- Solenoid valve
The solenoid valve acts as a latching mechanism that restricts or allows water to ow through it.
It opens up and releases water through the exible hose'7'as soon as an electronic signal is received from the
sensor'3'. The solenoid valve is always in CLOSED position, and opens up once an electronic signal is received, it goes
back to CLOSED position when the object'1'leaves the infra red sensing zone'2'
6- Water IN (Hot, Cold or Premix water): Entry
Main water supply entry.
7- Water OUT passage (Flexible hose)
The exible hose transfers water released from the solenoid valve'5'to the sensor tap'8'.
8- WATER OUT: Exit
Water exits- Water let through the solenoid valve comes out
DC- Direct Current- Battery compartment
AC- Alternate Current: Transformer connected to mains power supply
