Sanela Spartan Wall Mount Sensor Tap
Installation & Maintenance Instructions
General Information
- Designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to elements of nature.
- All plumbing and electrical connections must be made in accordance with AUS / NZ standards.
Warnings
- Read all instructions before attempting to install this system. It is recommended a qualified & registered plumber completes the install.
- Ensure pipe work is thoroughly flushed before installing the faucet (internal solenoid). Solenoid components are susceptible to debris and require additional flushing compared to a standard plumbing fixture.
- Consideration should be given to any regulations relating to an air gap, an air break or double check valve to protect against back flow.
Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Please read carefully before attempting to assemble, install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/ or property damage. Retain instructions for future reference.

Planning
- Plan for tap installation at min 300mm distance from bottom of sink.
- Ensure the sensor is not directly above the waste (reflective surface).
- Ensure an appropriate piping design (sizing etc). This will eliminate issues arising from flow, pressure and water hammering.
- Where appropriate install necessary filters, water hammering arrestors and water pressure reducing valves (recommended pressure 1 to 6 bar). This will minimise future maintenance.
- Install an isolating valve to enable ease of future maintenance.
Tempered Water
- An appropriate thermostatic mixing valve (TMV3) should be installed to ensure a safe regulated water temperature. These are available from SPL – SST THERMO VALVE.
Components
- 1. Faucet
- 2. Stainless steel mounting plate
- 3. Gasket / seal
- 4. Allen key (small)
- 5. Allen key (large)
Standard Functions
The faucet operates automatically when hands are detected within its active range:
- Step 1: As a person approaches the faucet, water begins to flow.
- Step 2: When hands are within the active range, water flows continuously.
- Step 3: When hands are removed from the active range, the water flow stops automatically.
Operating Pressure Range: The faucet is designed to operate within a pressure range of 0.1 - 0.6 MPa (1-6 Bar).
Sensing Range: The factory setting for the active sensing range is 12 cm, with an adjustable range of 0.11 - 0.15 meters.
Automatic Stop: The faucet is set to automatically shut off after 5 minutes (factory setting 310 seconds) if no hands are detected.

The external power supply unit is depicted with dimensions (approx. 90mm x 45mm x 65mm) and connection points for '230V input' and '24V output (to faucet)'.
Important Considerations for Power Supply Installation
- Installation must be carried out in accordance with all NZ electrical regulations by a qualified professional.
- Position the mounting box approximately 500mm from the floor. Consider potential moisture ingress from plumbing faults and ensure ongoing maintenance and accessibility.
- The mounting box can be surface mounted or installed within a service or ceiling cavity.
- Ensure mains power supply is off before commencing installation. A warning symbol ⚡ is shown.
- Mark the mounting points on the surface before drilling.
Installation Steps
- Drill and insert appropriate wall anchors if required.
- Remove the cover from the mounting box.
- Fix the mounting box to the wall.
- Pass the mains (230V) power supply cable (Cu 2 core x 1.5mm²) into the mounting box via the grommet and terminate accordingly.
- Reinstall the cover of the mounting box and ensure it is sealed. Tighten the grommet to ensure it is snug around the cables.
Note: Power supply should be secured via a current breaker before the external supply (not included).
Faucet Installation
- Step 1: Plan for tap installation at a minimum distance of 300mm from the bottom of the sink. A warning symbol ⚠️ is shown.
- Step 2: Ensure the sensor is not directly above the waste (reflective surface). A warning symbol ⚠️ is shown.
- Step 3: Plan for the external transformer connection to pass through the wall and mounting plate at 18mm from the center. The connection point is a G 1/2" male thread, with a 350mm distance indicated from the wall edge. The 24V DC power is shown.
- Step 4: Ensure that the appropriate 1/2" wing back has been installed level, securely, and flush with the finished external surface. A cross-section of the wall structure (stud/nogging) is shown. A warning symbol ⚠️ is shown.
- Step 5: Unscrew the grub screw at the end of the faucet using the smaller allen key.
- Step 6: Remove the end cap from the faucet.
- Step 7: Loosen the grub screw at the opposite end of the faucet. Remove the 1/2” end fitting. Ensure the filter remains in place.
- Step 8: Install the seal & mounting plate over the 1/2" female connector (wingback or equivalent). Pull the transformer cable through the mounting plate and seal. Seal and install the 1/2" end fitting.
- Step 9: Reinstall the faucet body.
- Step 10: Pull the transformer cable through the body of the faucet. Push the faucet body onto the connector fitting until flush.
- Step 11: Reinstall the grub screw with the allen key. Ensure the sensor and water outlet are correctly positioned.
- Step 12: Connect the transformer to the respective Wago connectors (24V DC).
- Step 13: Turn the mains water supply on at the isolating valve and check for leaks.
- Step 14: Push the connected Wago connectors back into the faucet.
- Step 15: Replace the faucet cap.
- Step 16: Secure with the grub screw using the small allen key.
- Step 17: A person icon indicates: Do not come within active range.
Final Power On and Adjustment
- Step 18: Turn the power supply on. It is necessary, for the proper function, to keep the unit under constant voltage (do not connect the power supply unit behind the switch into the light circuit). A diagram shows a circuit breaker switch labeled 'ON' and 'OFF'.
- Step 19: Once power is turned on, the faucet will automatically adjust its sensing range during the first 10 seconds. The LED on the sensor will continually flash during this period; do not attempt to use the faucet during this time. A diagram shows the range adjustment from MIN to MAX (0.3m) with 'AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT 10 s.' indicated.
Important Installation Notes
- Pipework is required to be flushed thoroughly prior to faucet and solenoid installation. Foreign debris may reduce level of flow and in some cases damage the solenoid valve.
- The sensor of the faucet must not be obstructed.
- Avoid positioning reflective objects or surfaces in front of the faucet sensor. This can cause false activation (e.g., mirrors opposite the faucet). With wall-mounted faucets, pay particular attention to the distance between the bottom of the basin and the faucet (minimum of 300mm) and the location and material of the basin waste (avoid mounting directly over the waste and/or choose non-reflective options).
- All plumbing and electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified person and in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.
Maintenance
- It is recommended that the solenoid valve and all filters be inspected for foreign debris and cleaned annually (more frequently if necessary).
- Clean the faucet regularly using soapy water and a soft cloth or wet sponge.
- DO NOT clean the faucet with any abrasive material or chlorine/acid-based cleaning product. This may damage the filter of the infrared sensor and/or the finishing of the faucet.
Note: If you require to modify any of the factory settings, please request the Sanela remote SLD03.
