CISTERMISER AV RANGE
Vandal-resistant touch controlled water delivery to washroom taps and showers
Our AV taps and showers, part of the Cistermiser AV range, is a specialist vandal-resistant, touch-activated washroom control for use in high risk or demanding public environments such as prisons, secure hospitals, schools and sports facilities.
How It Works
•The user interface is a stainless steel encased Piezo Touch Button which is fixed flush with the mounting surface. When touched, the button causes and electronically operated valve to open and allow water to flow from a hand basin spout or shower head.
•The flow duration for each outlet is programmed on installation. If the user touches the button for a second time, within the programmed flow period, water flow is stopped at once.
•There are no moving parts within the Piezo Touch Button. The buttons are hard-wired to the AV six channel controller, which controls the outlets.
•Each unit can control up to six valves and each Piezo Touch Button controls one outlet.

CISTERMISER DIRECT FLUSH - INFRARED URINAL CONTROL VALVE
Direct flush is an infrared sensor controlled urinal valve.
The Direct Flush automatically flushes the individual urinal after use, ensuring the highest level of hygiene from the minimum volume of water supplied directly from the mains. direct flush removes the need for the auto-flush cistern and associated plumbing used in traditional urinal installations which flush all urinals intermittently even if they have not all been used.
How It Works
•Direct Flush includes an integral DC pipe interrupter (air gap) enabling the installer to connect it directly to the mains water supply. This provides fluid category 5 back-siphonage protection, without the need for any additional backflow prevention or check valves.
•Direct Flush can be powered by either mains electricity via the DC transformer or batteries: both options are included as standard. When batteries are fitted the Direct Flush provides a low battery warning indicator.
•A mains power supply unit (PSUC) which powers up to 20 direct flush urinal valves is also available. Only 1 fused spur is required when using this product.
•Additional customised washroom settings are obtainable via a hand held remote control Infrared Configuration Unit (ICU) which is available as an optional extra. The remote controller enables rapid automatic range configuration to the specific washroom dimensions, deactivation of the hygiene flush function and where a siphonic trap has been fitted, activation of the trap refill function.

SENSAZONE - WATER SHUT OFF SYSTEM
The Sensazone system is an ideal solution for preventing leaks and flooding within a washroom whilst also reducing water consumption. This system is designed to comply with Breeam WAT 4 criteria by providing automatic water shut off.
The sensor is ideally located at the entrance to the washroom. The solenoid valve(s) should be located at the entry point of the water supply to the washroom or as close as practically possible to the entry point to suit the pipe layout.
When sensazone detects a user entering the washroom it activates up to three (for hot, cold and rain/grey water supplies) solenoid valves to allow water to flow freely into the washroom. If no motion has been detected for a user configurable time of either 15 or 30 minutes, the valve will close the water supply to the area until further movement is detected. Sensazone is designed to control up to three 2W 2/2 bi-stable (latching) solenoid valves per washroom area. For control of water flow to more than one washroom area, the Cistermiser Washroom Control should be used rather than the sensazone. For further details, please see the Washroom Control product range below or contact T&D.

URINAL FLUSH CONTROL - HYDRAULIC VALVE
The hydraulic valve is an automatic urinal flush control valve. The valve uses a simple patented mechanism which prevents water waste by ensuring that the auto-flush cistern is only filled, and can only flush, when the washroom is used.
How it Works
•The valve is installed on the supply pipe to the urinal cistern.
•The installer or user can adjust the time the valve remains open and therefore how long the cistern takes to fill and how much water is used. When the washroom is not being used the water supply pressure remains constant and the valve remains closed preventing water passing into the cistern.
•The cistern can therefore only flush during periods when the washroom is in use, eliminating unnecessary water consumption and cost.
- Automatic urinal flush control
- Unique patented hydraulic mechanism – no electrical supply or batteries required
- Industry leader with half a million already installed
- ‘Fit and Forget’ quality and reliability
- Hygiene flush option for periods of non-use
- Ensures compliance with the Water Regulations
- On DEFRA’s ECA Water Technology List; purchase and installation are tax deductible
- Reduces water consumption and washroom odours

URINAL FLUSH CONTROL - INFRARED IRC VALVE
The infrared urinal flush control (IRC) valve automatically manages the supply of water to a urinal cistern. The PIR sensor detects movement and activates the solenoid valve allowing water into a urinal cistern.
How It Works
•The solenoid assembly is plumbed in on the water supply to the urinal cistern. The connection to the infrared sensor is made either by directly mounting the sensor module onto the solenoid or by using the ‘floating socket’ supplied for a remote mounting. If mounted remotely, the sensor module may be:
◦Surface mounted using a standard pattress box.
Recessed into a suspended ceiling using the ‘flush mounting kit’ (FMK), supplied with the IRC as standard.
•If the sensor detects no occupancy in 12 hours it will automatically open the valve for 30 minutes to allow one flush of the cistern to rinse the urinals and pipe work.
•The sequence is designed to maximise battery life, giving approximately 3 years’ life from one good quality set of batteries.
•The flow rate of the water into the cistern is adjustable to maximise water economy. Generally this should be set so that the cistern flushes once every time the valve is opened. i.e. every 30 minutes during occupation.
•The solenoid is supplied with an interchangeable valve seat which is used to increase the flow to the cistern on low pressure supplies.
- Ensures compliance with the Water Regulations
- Can be concealed to reduce the risk of vandalism
- Mains or battery powered option in the same box: no external transformer required
- Pipe, wall or ceiling mounted sensor: surface mounted or recessed
- On DEFRA’s Water Technology List; purchase and installation are tax deductible
