Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install the solenoid assembly:

1. Prepare the Faucet: Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves located under the sink. Open the faucet handle to relieve any remaining water pressure.
2. Disconnect Power: If your faucet uses batteries, remove the battery pack. If it uses an AC adapter, unplug it from the outlet.
3. Locate Existing Solenoid: The solenoid assembly is typically located under the sink, connected to the faucet's water lines and electronic components. It may be secured with a mounting clip or bracket.
4. Remove Old Solenoid: Disconnect the water lines from the old solenoid. Be prepared for a small amount of residual water. Disconnect any electrical connectors. Carefully remove the old solenoid from its mounting.
5. Install New Solenoid: Position the new EP92546 Solenoid Assembly in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the existing mounting hardware or any new hardware provided.
6. Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the new solenoid. Ensure connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn, being careful not to overtighten.
7. Connect Electrical Components: Connect the electrical wires from the faucet to the new solenoid assembly. Ensure all connections are firm and correctly seated. If using a battery pack, insert fresh batteries (typically 6 AA batteries, not included) into the battery pack and connect it to the solenoid. If using an AC adapter, plug it into the solenoid and then into a power outlet.
8. Test for Leaks and Functionality: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. Once water supply is restored, test the faucet's operation, including any touch or hands-free features, to ensure the solenoid is functioning correctly.

Operation

The Delta EP92546 Solenoid Assembly is an integral part of your faucet's electronic control system. When activated by the faucet's sensor (e.g., touch, motion), the solenoid opens or closes to control the flow of water. It works in conjunction with the faucet's main valve to regulate water temperature and flow rate. Proper installation ensures seamless operation of your faucet's advanced features.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your solenoid assembly and faucet:

• Battery Replacement: If your faucet is battery-powered, replace batteries annually or when the faucet's response becomes sluggish. Use high-quality alkaline batteries.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect water and electrical connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
• Clean Filters: Some solenoid assemblies may have small filters or screens at the inlet. If water flow is reduced, turn off water supply, disconnect the solenoid, and clean any accessible filters.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals near the solenoid or faucet components, as they can damage finishes or internal parts.
