4. Operating Instructions
The ETF-735-A control module manages the sensor functionality of your Sloan Optima EBF faucet. After installation, you may need to adjust the sensor's range and timeout settings to suit the specific environment.
- Access Settings: Carefully open the splash-proof housing of the ETF-735-A module.
- Adjust Sensor Range: Locate the range potentiometer (often a small blue or white dial) on the circuit board. Use a small screwdriver to turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the sensor range or counter-clockwise to decrease it. Test the range after each adjustment.
- Adjust Timeout Settings: Identify the dip switches on the circuit board. Refer to your specific faucet's documentation for the correct dip switch configurations to adjust the timeout duration (how long the water flows after the sensor is no longer active).
- Close Housing: Once adjustments are complete, ensure the housing is securely closed to maintain its splash-proof integrity.
