Installation and Maintenance Guide
General
The Electra Installation and Maintenance Guide introduces the operation, installation, maintenance and use of the
Oras Electra lavatory faucet. Please read the instructions carefully prior to installation and save them for reference
where servicing may be needed. If any fault or malfunction occurs in the faucet, please seek the best possible
advice at an expert HVAC store.
Function
No-touch Electra faucets are turned on and shut off by a solenoid valve that is actuated by a photocell. When the
hands are held under the faucet, the solenoid valve opens and water starts to flow. When the hands are removed,
the faucet shuts automatically after a preset time delay.
Applications
No-touch Electra faucets are intended for use in areas that require a high standard of hygiene, e.g. hospitals,
doctors' offices, food processing plants etc. Electra faucets are also suitable for use where there is a possibility
that a faucet can be left running, e.g. public toilets, restaurants, schools etc.
The wash-basin to which the Electra faucet is to be fixed may not be of the kind that can be plugged.
To clean the faucet
When cleaning the surface of the faucet, use neutral liquid detergents only. Do not use any scrubbing or corrosive
cleaning agents! WARNING: Do not clean the appliance with a high pressure washer.
Risk of freezing
When installing the faucet in a place where the temperature may fall below freezing, the entire system must be
drained of water to prevent bursting in freezing weather.
– Shut off the water supply.
– Disconnect all flexible hoses and make certain that all parts and hoses are drained of water.
Protection against vandalism
If the eye of the photocell is continuously covered for over 40 seconds, the faucet shuts automatically. To regain
normal operation, remove the blockage (e.g. chewing gum, tape) from the sensor.
Installation (see Figures 1 and 2)
– Mount the no-touch faucet on the wash-basin (ø 28–35 mm). Ensure that the o-ring seal between the faucet and
the wash-basin is correctly installed.
– Slip the fixing washer (1) and stud nuts (2) into position and tighten with a screwdriver or 9 mm adjustable wrench.
– Remove the control-box cover.
– Using the four screws supplied, mount the control box (3) onto a suitable place in the cabinet or on the wall
below the wash-basin, in a position that permits easy access for maintenance.
– Cut the hose (4) to the proper length.
– Attach the hose to the connector (5) on the control box.
– Secure the hose with a hose clamp (6).
Connecting the Water-Supply Hoses
– Attach one end of the flexible water-supply hose (7) to the control-box attaching nipple (8) and the other end to
the pipe for pre-mixed water.
