Safety Information
- Ensure all water supply lines are turned off before beginning installation.
- If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified plumber.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the faucet surface, as this may damage the finish.
- Protect the product from freezing temperatures.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your touchless faucet. Refer to the technical drawing below for precise measurements and component placement.
Tools Required:
- Adjustable wrench
- Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead)
- Drill (if new holes are required)
- Sealant tape (PTFE tape)
- Measuring tape and pencil
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the wall cavity or mounting surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Turn off the main water supply.
- Mount the Built-in Body: Position the built-in body according to the dimensions provided in the technical drawing. Secure it firmly to the wall structure using appropriate fasteners. Ensure it is level and plumb.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the designated inlets on the built-in body. Use sealant tape on threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Install the Spout and Sensor Unit: Carefully insert the faucet spout and the sensor unit into their respective openings on the finished wall surface. Ensure they are properly aligned and secured.
- Connect Electrical/Battery Supply: Connect the sensor unit to its power source (e.g., battery pack or mains adapter, if applicable). Follow the specific wiring instructions provided with the product.
- Test for Leaks and Functionality: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Test the sensor by placing your hands in front of it to ensure water flows correctly. Adjust sensor sensitivity if necessary (refer to specific product instructions for adjustment).

Operating Instructions
The VitrA Origin A4711136WTC faucet operates automatically via an infrared sensor.
- Activating Water Flow: Place your hands within the sensor's detection range (typically 5-15 cm from the sensor eye). The water will begin to flow automatically.
- Stopping Water Flow: Remove your hands from the sensor's detection range. The water flow will stop automatically after a short delay.
- Temperature Adjustment: This model is a touchless faucet, typically designed for pre-mixed water or a single temperature. If your installation includes a separate temperature mixing valve, adjust the desired water temperature using that valve before use. The faucet itself does not have a direct temperature control lever.
- Sensor Range: The sensor is calibrated for optimal performance. Avoid placing objects directly in front of the sensor when not in use to prevent unintended activation.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Faucet Surface: Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water to clean the exterior surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents.
- Cleaning the Sensor Eye: Gently wipe the sensor eye with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or residue that might interfere with its operation.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris. Rinse it under running water and reattach it securely.
- Battery Replacement (if applicable): If the faucet is battery-operated and water flow becomes weak or inconsistent, it may be time to replace the batteries. Refer to the specific battery compartment location and type in your product's detailed instructions. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
