What sensing system is used?
The Venice deck-mounted touchless model (BST6177BGL) uses infrared proximity detection for hands-free on/off control.
Can the detection zone be adjusted?
The sensing window is typically tunable or self-calibrating; set it for basin depth to avoid pass-by activations.
How fast does water start flowing?
Flow is designed to begin quickly after detection; delays usually indicate low PSI, clogged strainers, or calibration drift.
Does it run on battery or AC?
Power is commonly supported via battery for retrofit installs and via AC adapter where facilities prioritize maximum uptime.
What deck-mount fit must be verified?
Confirm mounting-hole diameter, counter thickness, spout reach into the bowl, and below-deck clearance for the control box.
How do you protect the gold finish?
Verify coating type and cleaner compatibility; avoid bleach-heavy and acidic products that can haze, stain, or dull metallic surfaces.
What stops continuous run-on?
Timed shutoff logic limits run-on during obstruction, glare/reflection misreads, or repeated nuisance triggers in traffic lanes.
What upkeep reduces service calls?
Keep the sensor lens clean and service inlet strainers/filters; debris and scale are the most common causes of erratic behavior.
What should warranty coverage include?
Confirm coverage by component—sensor module, solenoid/valve assembly, power unit, and finish—and verify replacement parts availability.
