LIGATURE RESISTANT SENSOR FAUCET #SF390
Patent # US D635,386
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SENSORFLO® Battery or A/C Powered
Our new Ligature Resistant Sensor Faucet (version 2.0) is the second sensor faucet designed and developed by BSP in conjunction with the
Speakman Company. Its patented design provides for a ligature resistant sink faucet that will mount to existing or new lavatories. Having an
identical external profile to the previous model, the faucet's internal components have been upgraded for improved performance. Its unique
features – such as updated operating mechanisms (Electronic module, Solenoid and Power Pack which are readily serviceable from under the
counter), standard in-line Filters, and new Sensor Module design incorporated into solid zinc chrome plated Faucet body – make it ideal for patient
rooms or public areas that need ligature resistant products.
Speakman/Behavioral Safety Products SENSORFLO® Ligature Resistant Faucet comes standard with six batteries or with an optional A/C Adapter.
Inside the solid zinc body of the Faucet resides the new Laser Sensor Module. The Solenoid and the Power Supply (Batteries or AC/DC Adapter) are
located under the sink with easy accessibility.
The Solenoid Module is powered by six 1.5v standard AA batteries or optional A/C Adapter with water-resistant connectors. There are 2 low battery
indicator lights. One located on the Sensor on the Faucet body and the other located on the Solenoid box. When the low battery light on the Sensor
blinks, it indicates the battery power is low. When the low battery light on the Solenoid is blinking, the Solenoid will stop functioning and the
batteries need to be replaced immediately.
Speakman/Behavioral Safety Products SENSORFLO® Faucets are thoughtfully designed and engineered in accordance with the highest quality and
performance standards. The Faucet requires no handles to turn, lift or push for water flow. Built in vandal-resistant circuitry shuts off the water after
continuous flow of approximately 60 seconds. Faucet will resume normal operation after the object causing activation is removed and then waiting
60 seconds.
Water-conserving vandal-resistant recessed Laminar Flow Outlet reduces water flow to 1.2GPM / 4.5 L/min to meet requirements of ASME
A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 for flow rates. There is a water Filter on the Solenoid that is readily accessible for maintenance purposes.
The Faucet is produced with low-lead materials and is designed to meet National and California maximum lead content standards.

CARE & CLEANING
• Your SENSORFLO® Faucet is designed and engineered in accordance with the highest quality and performance standards. With
proper care, it will provide years of hygienic and trouble-free service.
• Periodically, the Faucet will require some minor maintenance to keep it at peak performance. There are 2 low battery indicator
lights. One located on the Sensor on the Faucet body and the other located on the Solenoid Box. When the low battery light on the
Sensor blinks, it indicates that the battery is low. However, the Solenoid can still function at this point. When the low battery light on
the Solenoid blinks, the Solenoid will stop functioning at this point and the batteries need to be replaced immediately. To replace
the batteries, follow the installation instructions in the electrical connections section of this document.
• Periodically clean the In-Line Filter.
• The polished chrome finish of your Faucet should be cleaned using mild soap and warm water.
• Dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth for best results.
• NEVER use abrasive cleaners, chemicals, alcohol or other solvents. They may damage the surfaces of the non-chrome plated finishes.

PAGE 13TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling Behavioral Safety Products for service, please run through the following checklist:
If water flow from the Faucet decreases
1. Make sure the supply stops are open.
2. Ensure the Temperature Adjuster of the Under Counter Mixer (UCM) is not in the closed position (to open, screw out the
Temperature Adjuster Screw (counter-clockwise direction).
3. Check that the In-line Filter located in the hose connecting the solenoid and the mixer is not blocked with debris. Remove filter from
the Solenoid Inlet and rinse filter screen with clean water. Reassemble the filter, open stops, and check water flow. Stops must be
turned off when filter is removed.
4. Remove the Laminar Flow Outlet from the spout using the outlet wrench. Operate the Faucet with outlet device removed. If water
flow is acceptable, disassemble the outlet device and rinse components with clean water.
5. If the above steps do not resolve the problem; call Behavioral Safety Products (706-705-1500) for assistance.
If no water flows from the Faucet, and
If you can hear a clicking sound of Solenoid opening, but no water flows
1. Verify that the HOT and COLD wall stops are completely open.
2. If the Battery Light within the Sensor Eye or Solenoid blinks continuously, even when the Faucet is not in use, the batteries within
the Solenoid have low voltage and need replacement.
3. Verify that the In-Line Filter in the Solenoid is not blocked by debris. Clean filter if needed.
If you do not hear a clicking sound of Solenoid opening and no water flows
1. If the Battery Light within the Sensor Eye blinks continuously, even when the Faucet is not in use, the batteries within the Solenoid
have low voltage and need replacement.
2. Unplug connections to Solenoid for 2 minutes. Plug connections back in. The red light on the Sensor should turn on for several
seconds before becoming operational. If not, check power supplies and connections.
3. Disconnect the existing Solenoid Assembly and connect a new Solenoid Assembly. Activate the Sensor and check for water flow. If
the water flows, the existing Solenoid Assembly should be replaced.
If the batteries have been replaced, but the Faucet still does not operate:
1. Check the battery polarity and electrical connections. Make sure all electrical connections are fully inserted.
2. If the Faucet does not operate, replace the existing Solenoid Assembly with one you know to be functioning.
If the Faucet activates, but the water will not shut off
1. Hold a hand in front of the Sensor at up to 7" away for more than 1 minute until the water flow stops. Once the water stops, remove
your hand and wait 60 seconds. Then place your hand in front of the Sensor and verify that it is operating properly.
2. If the Faucet still does not shut off, cover the front of the sink with a towel. This will eliminate the potential of reflections activating
the Sensor.
3. If it is a new installation and still not working, replace the Solenoid Assembly.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. How does the Sensorflo® Faucet work?
A. It uses laser technology. The Sensor emits a non-visible beam of light. When an object enters the detection area, the Sensor signals
the Solenoid Valve to open for water to flow. When an object leaves the detection area, the Sensor signals the valve to close.
Q. Is the Sensorflo® Faucet sensor beam adjustable?
A. No, the Sensorflo® Faucet sensor beam is not adjustable. It has been factory set to factory specifications for these Faucets.
Q. What about water conservation?
A. The Sensorflo® design directly addresses water conservation. Water savings of up to 85% are not unusual. Additional energy savings
are realized by conserving hot water.
Q. Can the water temperature of the Sensorflo® Faucet be adjusted?
A. Yes, this Faucet has a hot and cold water mechanical mixing valve. If you need to meet ASSE 1070, you must use our TMV
(Thermostatic Mixing Valve) option.
Q. Does Sensorflo® reduce maintenance?
A. By elimination of on/off handles, control components are reduced and fittings stay cleaner longer. Only a light rinsing and wiping
is required to restore the beauty of the Sensorflo® Faucets. Drip stains are eliminated. Fingerprints and soap spots on sinks and fittings
are avoided. Finishes last longer and wash areas stay cleaner. Germs and bacteria are not transferred as easily making for a healthier
environment.
PAGE 14
Q. The chrome finish on my Faucet seems to be deteriorating. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
A. Many commercial cleaning products contain harsh chemicals and abrasives. These products should not be used on any chromeplated plumbing products. Please use only mild soap and water to clean the Faucet. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Q. Does the Sensorflo® system shut off immediately when an object leaves the sensing area?
A. A very short delay of approximately 0 to 1.5 seconds occurs before water is shut off.
Q. Is there a way to adjust the flow of water?
A. The temperature adjusters can be used to control the flow of water.
Q. Is my Faucet protected from power surges?
A. Yes, Sensorflo® has been designed to have built-in power surge protection.
Q. If we lose power, do I have to do something to get the Faucet to operate again?
A. After a power outage, the Faucet is automatically ready for operation as soon as the power comes back on.
Q. If I call a plumber to come and install this Faucet, will they know enough to hook it up?
A. Our installation diagrams are very easy to follow.
