- Install the Control Box: Mount the control box (containing the solenoid valve and battery compartment) in an accessible location under the deck, using appropriate fasteners.
- Connect the Sensor Cable: Connect the 36-inch sensor cable from the faucet body to the designated port on the control box.
- Connect the Flex Hose: Attach the 24-inch flex hose from the faucet to the outlet of the below-deck mixing valve. Connect the mixing valve to the hot and cold water supply lines.
- Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the control box and insert the four AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks.
Operating Instructions
The Sloan SF-2350 faucet operates automatically via its integrated infrared sensor.
- Activation: Place your hands within the sensor's detection range (typically under the spout). The sensor will detect your hands and activate the water flow.
- Water Flow: Water will flow for as long as your hands are detected.
- Deactivation: Remove your hands from the sensor's range. The water flow will stop automatically after a brief delay.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet body with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the polished chrome finish.
- Sensor Cleaning: Keep the infrared sensor window clean and free of obstructions. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
- Battery Replacement: When the batteries are low, the faucet may exhibit inconsistent operation or stop working. Replace all four AA batteries simultaneously, ensuring correct polarity.
- Solenoid Filter Cleaning: The filtered solenoid valve includes a serviceable strainer filter. Periodically inspect and clean this filter to prevent debris from affecting water flow. Turn off the water supply before accessing the solenoid.
- Cartridge Replacement: If water flow issues persist after cleaning the filter, the internal cartridge may need replacement. Consult a qualified plumber or Sloan support for assistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow. | Water supply off; dead batteries; clogged filter; sensor obstruction. | Check water supply valve; replace batteries; clean solenoid filter; clear sensor window. |
| Inconsistent water flow. | Low batteries; partially clogged filter; sensor interference. | Replace batteries; clean solenoid filter; ensure no reflective surfaces or strong light sources interfere with the sensor. |
| Water continuously runs. | Sensor malfunction; debris in solenoid valve; sensor range too wide. | Clean sensor window; check solenoid for debris; adjust sensor range (if applicable). If problem persists, contact support. |
| Weak water pressure. | Partially closed water supply; clogged aerator; clogged solenoid filter. | Ensure water supply is fully open; clean or replace aerator; clean solenoid filter. |
