IMPORTANT
Read this entire installation manual to ensure proper installation. When finished with the installation, file
this manual with the owner or maintenance department. Compliance and conformity to local codes and
ordinances is the responsibility of the installer.
Pressurized plumbing fixtures shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer´s recommendations. The
supply piping to these devices shall be securely anchored to the building structure to prevent installed
device from unnecessary movement when operated by the user. Care shall be exercised when installing the
device to prevent marring the exposed significant surface.
Separate parts from packaging and make sure all parts are accounted for before discarding packaging
material. If any parts are missing, do not begin installation until you obtain the missing parts.
Make sure that all water supply lines have been flushed and then completely turned off before beginning
installation. Do not use pipe dope. Debris in supply lines can cause valves to malfunction. Possible valve
contamination could occur which will void any warranty. Teflon tape is the recommended sealant.
Product warranties may be found under “Products” on our web site at www.bradleycorp.com.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Cause
Solution
Faucet not working (no
flashing red indicator located
inside clear cover of valve
control box).
Batteries not inserted correctly.
Remove cover from battery box and check that the batteries have been inserted
to the correct orientation and are making connections to the contacts. Refer to the
battery icons located on the base of the battery box tray.
Improper or poor connection to
power supply.
Check that the connection from the battery box is fully inserted into the female
connector on the valve control box and assure the connector round thumbnut is
fully fastened.
Faucet not working and no
water flows when activated
(red indicator is flashing).
Low batteries.
If red indicator is flashing 5 times every 4 seconds, replace with new alkaline
batteries.
Water source valves turned off.
Open water source valves and check that there is water flow.
Sensor shorted to ground or unit
unable to calibrate.
If red indicator is flashing once or multiple times every 4 seconds, there is a
problem with the installation and the sensor is shorted. To verify the control box is
working correctly, carefully disconnect the black sensor wire from the connection
washer. With the wire disconnected, touch the connector at the end of the black
wire with your fingers. The sensor should activate and water should come on. Let
go of the connector and the water should shut off. If the unit works as described
above and it malfunctions when you reconnect the black sensor wire to the spout
assembly, then there is an error in the spout and cover plate installation. If the
faucet does not activate as described when touching the sensor connector, then
you have a grounding issue or there is a broken sensor wire (see troubleshooting
below).
Improper ground connection.
There is improper earth grounding if the faucet activates when you touch any
of the steel braided supply hoses, the brass fitting on the valve box or the
mixing valve. Verify that the ground clamp has been installed and recheck the
connections. Verify the clamp is tightly fastened directly to the copper pipe for a
proper ground connection. Reset the unit following procedure below.*
Broken or corrupt sensor wire or
defective valve box electronics.
If the connector has broken off of the black sensor wire or the valve box appears to
be defective please contact Bradley Technical Service. Do not attempt to repair the
valve box or sensor wire.
Poor sensor washer and wire
connection.
Verify the brass nuts that fasten the connection washer are fully tightened.
Reconnect the sensor wire to the washer. Reset the unit following procedure
below.*
Insufficient ground connection.
Verify that the earth ground clamp has been installed and recheck the connections.
Verify the clamp is tightly fastened directly to the copper pope for a robust ground
connection. Reset the unit following procedure bellow.*
Intermittent cycling and/or
faucet activation is overly
sensitive.
Isolation parts are not installed or
not installed correctly.
If the faucet activates when you touch the sink, the unit installation is improper.
Check that isolation components are used and installed correctly. Verify the sink
ground connection is in place and installed properly.
Water stays on or runs on
after you pull your hand
away.
Drain grounding not connected or
assembled.
Check that the drain ground is assembled to the threaded portion of the metal
drain ring (not on the pipe) and is connected to the tab on the valve control box.
Reset the unit following the procedure below.*
Water stays on.
There is sensor short to ground
or unit is not calibrating.
Reset the unit following the procedure below.* If water continues to run, there is an
error in the installation and grounding scheme (see above).
Dial set to the "open" position
or not turned to the full "auto"
position.
Turn the knob on the side of the valve control box fully to the "auto" position (until
it hits the stop) and actuate the faucet by placing your hand near the spout. Water
should stop running and unit will return to the normal idle operation mode once
you remove your hand from the spout.
Debris or particulate matter is
trapped in valve.
Turn off water source valves. Remove aerator from end of the spout and examine
for dirt and particulates. Inspect and clean input dirt filter. Reinsert filter and turn
water source back on. Activate faucet several times without the aerator installed
to flush any debris from the valve mechanism until dripping has ceased. Reinstall
aerator.
Dial not turned to the full "auto"
position.
Turn the knob on the side of the valve control box fully to the "auto" position (until
it hits the stop) and activate the faucet several times by placing your hand near the
spout. Water should stop running or dripping and unit will return to the normal idle
operation mode once hand is removed from the spout.
Intermittent cycling and/
or water runs on after
activation.
Water is dripping from spout
when not activated.
*How to rest the Unit: Disconnect power source for 10 seconds. The valve will close and the water will stop running. After 10 seconds, reconnect
power supply. let until recalibrate for another 20 seconds and verify faucet activation.

Faucet Adjustments
Operating modes and sensor ranges can be adjusted with a manual operation through the infrared sensor.
Faucet adjustment operations apply to all models.
Operating Modes
Operating Modes
Description
Cleaning Mode
The faucet is inactive for 90 seconds.
Normal Mode
The faucet is activated if it senses a hand presence. This is the default operating mode of the
faucet.
Metering Mode (10 s)
The faucet will shut off after 10 seconds regardless of hand presence detected.
Scrub Mode (60 s)
The faucet will shut off 60 seconds after the detection of the last hand presence.
Scrub Mode (180 s)
The faucet will shut off 180 seconds after the detection of the last hand presence.
Sensor Range Adjustment
Change the detection distance of the infrared sensor. The default sensor range is
approximately 1” beyond the spout.
Reset
All settings will be reset to original factory settings.
In order to set the operating modes, the faucet needs to be placed into "Manual Setting" mode. At this time,
operating modes can be changed within the next 30 minutes.
The following is a functional diagram to show the different settings available for manual faucet adjustment. See
