1) General FAQ (Facility Managers / Buyers)
Are they suitable for airports, office towers, and transit hubs? Vandal-Resistant
Yes—they’re engineered for heavy-duty use with vandal-resistant housings, industrial-grade sensors, and large-capacity soap systems.
What finishes are available? PVD Finishes
A wide range of durable PVD finishes: matte black, chrome, brushed nickel, brushed gold, bronze—each with an anti-fingerprint coating for public environments.
Do they save water and soap? 0.35–0.5 gpm
Yes—laminar flow rates of 0.35–0.5 gpm reduce consumption, while smart soap pumps minimize waste and stockouts.
How are they powered? AC + Battery
Mains power (100–240 VAC) with battery backup (≥400k activations). Smart versions can use Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
Are they reliable in bright or crowded spaces? ToF 940 nm
Yes—Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors ensure fast, accurate detection even in direct sunlight or heavy foot traffic.
How easy is maintenance? Front-Serviceable
Front-serviceable design; common spare parts; average repair <20 minutes. Recommended service every 3–12 months.
Can we integrate into our BMS? BACnet / Modbus / MQTT
Smart models connect to BMS platforms for monitoring usage, faults, and soap levels.
What is the warranty? 3–5 Years
Standard 3–5 years, with extended warranty options. Key components rated for 1M+ cycles.
Can they be customized? BIM/Revit
Yes—finishes, branding, flow rates, and soap types can be tailored to project needs. BIM/Revit files are available for design teams.
