5. Operating Instructions
The Sloan EBV129A-U G2 Optima Plus Electronic Sensor Module provides fully automatic, hands-free operation for urinals equipped with compatible G2 Optima Plus flushometers.
- Automatic Flushing: The sensor detects the user's presence and initiates a flush cycle after the user departs.
- Sensor Range: The sensor is factory-set for optimal detection range. Avoid placing objects directly in front of the sensor that could obstruct its view or cause false activations.
- Manual Override (if applicable): Some G2 Optima Plus flushometers may feature a manual override button. Refer to your specific flushometer's manual for details on this function.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your sensor module.
- Cleaning: Clean the sensor lens regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the sensor surface.
- Battery Replacement (if battery-powered): If your G2 Optima Plus flushometer system uses batteries for the sensor module, replace them as indicated by a low battery indicator or when the flushometer stops responding. Refer to your flushometer's manual for specific battery type and replacement procedures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the module for any signs of damage or loose connections.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your sensor module, consult the following table before contacting support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
