User Manual for AXOR Starck Electronic Basin Mixer

Quick guide from the manual

This electronic basin mixer is designed for hygienic use. It features automatic sensor calibration to local conditions (washbasin size, ambient light, reflections). The faucet is not compatible with continuous flow water heaters and should not be installed on washstands with raised edges.

Safety and Installation

Safety Notes: Wear gloves during installation to prevent injuries. Ensure hot and cold water supplies have equal pressure. The transformer and mains plug must be installed in dry interior rooms and not in protection zones 0, 1, or 2.

Installation: Install mesh washers to protect against dirt from pipework. After installation or maintenance, the faucet may require 10-15 minutes for automatic self-calibration. If the jet pattern is irregular due to air, activate the faucet approximately 15 times to stabilize it.

Electrical Installation

Installation and testing must be performed by an authorized electrician in accordance with DIN VDE 0100 part 701 / IEC 60364-7-701. The circuit must be protected via a ground fault protector (RCD/FI) with a measured differential current of ≤ 30 mA. Ensure the system is de-energized before performing any work.

Operation and Adjustment

Normal Operation: The sensor range depends on ambient optical conditions and the object being detected. Dark objects are detected less effectively than light or reflective objects. Strong light sources should not be directed at the sensor window.

Range Setting: If the faucet is installed on very small or highly reflective washstands, you can manually switch between "Maximum range" (factory setting) and "Reduced range" (reduced by approx. 50 mm). To change the mode, interrupt the power supply for 10 seconds, reconnect, and follow the calibration steps indicated by the LED.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement: When the battery voltage is ≤ approx. 5.5 V, the LED blinks during operation. When voltage is ≤ approx. 5.3 V, the LED lights continuously and the faucet stops working; the battery must be replaced. After inserting a new battery, do not activate the faucet for 30 seconds to allow for self-adjustment.

Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly. Do not use silicone containing acetic acid.
