Setup and Installation
The American Standard Selectronic IC Proximity Faucet is designed for single-hole, deck-mount installation. Follow these general steps for proper setup:
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the sink or countertop has a single faucet hole of the appropriate size. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Faucet Body: Place the faucet body through the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Connect the other ends to your hot and cold water stops. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
- Connect Sensor and Power: Connect the sensor cable from the faucet to the control box. Connect the power supply (battery pack or AC adapter, depending on model) to the control box.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.
- Calibrate Sensor: Follow specific instructions in the included installation guide for initial sensor calibration to ensure proper detection range.

Operating Instructions
The Selectronic IC Proximity Faucet operates automatically using an integrated sensor:
- Hands-Free Activation: Simply place your hands within the sensor's detection range (typically 4-6 inches from the spout). The water will begin to flow instantly.
- Automatic Shut-Off: When your hands are removed from the sensor's range, the water flow will stop automatically after a brief delay. This conserves water and prevents accidental overflow.
- Laminar Flow: The faucet delivers a smooth, aerated-free stream of water, minimizing splashing and ensuring a consistent flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM).
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet:
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemicals containing ammonia, bleach, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Sensor Care: Keep the sensor window clean and free of obstructions. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the sensor.
- Aerator/Flow Restrictor: Periodically check the laminar flow restrictor at the spout for mineral buildup or debris. If flow is reduced, carefully remove and clean it.
- Battery Replacement (if applicable): If the faucet uses batteries, replace them when the low battery indicator (if present) illuminates or when sensor response becomes sluggish. Refer to the specific battery replacement instructions in your detailed guide.
