PRE INSTALLATION INFORMATION
CHECK CONTENTS
› Separate all parts from the packaging and check you have each part according to the

more than 300 mm. between the sink and the
spout.
› This tap model, with an infrared sensor pointing
down, is not intended to be used together with
a sink of a reflective material such as stainless
steel.

PRE INSTALLATION INFORMATION
WARNING
› Highly reflective surfaces directly beneath the sensor of this product, in particular
polished finish basin wastes/ strainers, will cause false activation of the infrared sensors
and can result in malfunction. We recommend satin or matt finish products which
can be found on our website.
› It is very important to allow permanent access to the mounting tail/nut of this
product for future servicing and repair. Where this is not possible see our wall plate
mounted products.
› To avoid reflection problems it is recommended to keep a distance of more than
300mm between the sink and the spout. If the distance is below 300mm a simple
mock-up should be effected to confirm the tap functions as desired in your application
before final installation.You may require a Dolphin Blue remote control to adjust the
range.
› Do not connect water or power supplies or remove the black label covering the nfra-
red sensor until you have read and understood these instructions. Please see page 13.
› It is not recommended to use DB400 series with a polished stainless steel sink. For
this type of application a separate panel-mounted sensor should be used – please
speak to our technical sales team.
› Please observe the guide to minimum cavity depths as shown in the table. This is
important because the water supply hose must not be kinked due to lack of space.
Please note we have provided this information as a guide and cannot be held
responsible for fundamental design
errors. If your situation differs to those
shown below please call us on 0800
0723 404, and we will provide you
with a solution.

flash continuously.The solenoid valve will be opened and closed for 1 second as an
indication that the ideal sensor range was set and the product is ready for use.
3. Turn on the central water supply. Check for leaks.
Note: This tap includes a special aerator that allows you to adjust the water stream
direction on site in order to prevent water splashing if needed.To change the angle
of the water stream, simply move the adjustable tilting
plate by pressing it smoothly.
