Cistermiser Urinal Flushing Infrared Control - IRC
The Cistermiser infrared urinal flush control valve (IRC) automatically manages the supply of wate...The Cistermiser infrared urinal flush control valve (IRC) automatically manages the supply of water to a urinal cistern. The Passive infrared sensor detects movement and activates the solenoid valve and allowing water to flow into the cistern. This urinal flush control valve features motion-sensing infrared for cistern-flushing applications. It can be mains and/or battery operated, reducing water consumption by over 80%. The package includes a pipe, wall or ceiling mounted sensor, and a ceiling mounting bracket for recessed installations. It is designed for water pressures from 0.1 bar to 6 bar.
This guide is for users of the Cistermiser IRC, designed to automatically manage water supply to urinal cisterns. The key benefit is significant water reduction, potentially saving over 80%. Keep in mind that proper installation and regular maintenance are crucial for optimal performance. This guide will help you understand the features, setup, and troubleshooting for your Cistermiser IRC.
