Advanced Technical FAQ
How do I size a shared transformer for an Aero faucet + dispenser set?
Add the worst‑case VA of each device. Example (Jetstream set): faucet 12 VA peak + dispenser 10 VA peak → choose ≥25 VA SELV driver. If powering multiple sets from one driver, allow 20–30% headroom and use star (homerun) topology with 18 AWG to minimize voltage drop.
What’s the expected battery life and how do policy settings affect it?
Battery life varies with cycles/day, water temp, and policies (dwell, lockout, hygiene flush). Latching valves draw only during open/close pulses. Medium traffic (400–600 cycles/day) with hygiene flush off typically yields 12–18 months; enabling hygiene flush every 24 h reduces life ~10–15%. Prefer AC in 24/7 venues.
How can I prevent false triggers near mirrors, glossy stone, or direct daylight?
Use ToF‑assist models (Zephyr, Nimbus) and enable reflective‑surface compensation. Maintain sensor‑to‑basin offsets from the cut sheet and keep faucet–dispenser spacing at 150–250 mm (6–10 in). Avoid direct sunlight onto the sensor window or use shading trims.
What commissioning steps ensure stable hydraulics?
Flush lines before install, verify supply 20–80 psi, install hammer arrestors where required, and confirm regulator inserts (0.35/0.5 gpm). Run a leak/seat test, verify laminar stream position within 30–50 mm inside bowl’s deepest zone, and record settings via BLE snapshot (Jetstream) if available.
How do hygiene flush and thermal purge interact with mixing valves?
Hygiene flush uses tempered water for 3–8 s after selected idle periods. Thermal purge is a maintenance operation at 60–70 °C for 2–5 min; coordinate with ASSE 1070 POU mixing and facility SOPs. Use area control/signage and auto‑revert to tempered after purge.
Can I daisy‑chain power between sets?
Not recommended. Use a star topology (individual homeruns) to each set from the SELV driver to maintain voltage and isolate faults. Never share conduits with mains; keep low‑voltage separation per wiring diagram.
What soap chemistries are supported and how do I change products?
Liquid 1–3000 cP on liquid dispensers; foam pumps on Stratus only. Avoid particulates. For alcohol‑based products, confirm seal compatibility via SDS. When switching chemistries, rinse the tank and run purge/prime to clear lines.
How do I plan for vandal resistance in transit or park restrooms?
Select Cyclone or Vortex with vandal bezels, tamper‑resistant fasteners, and lockouts. Use anti‑tamper conduit for exposed low‑voltage runs. Stock regulators, seal kits, and pump modules for quick swaps.
Any EMC tips near hand dryers or VFDs?
Route low‑voltage cables away from motors and VFDs; use shielded cable where necessary and bond shields per diagram. Keep sensor windows clean; EMI can present as intermittent triggers if cable runs share trays with mains.
What finish care is recommended for PVD and Chrome?
Use non‑abrasive cleaners and microfiber. Avoid chlorine bleach and scouring pads. Test new housekeeping chemicals on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What deck thickness and basin pairing rules should I follow?
Standard decks 12–45 mm depending on model; see spec tables above. Aim the stream to land 30–50 mm inside the deepest zone of the bowl to reduce splash; laminar outlets pair best with shallow basins.
Do these devices store user data?
No personal data is stored. Optional BLE (Jetstream) is local‑first for commissioning snapshots (settings and counters). No cloud connectivity is required by default.
Note: For stamped submittals, always pull the latest cut sheet, BIM family parameters (.RFA), and wiring diagram PDF for the specific SKU and local code requirements.
