OPERATION
A continuous, invisible light beam is emitted from the Optima Plus® Sensor.
As the user enters the beam’s effective range, 22 to 42 inches (559 mm to 1067 mm) for closet installations and 15 to 30 inches (381 mm to 762 mm) for urinal installations, the beam is reflected into the Scanner Window to activate the Output Circuit. Once activated, the Output Circuit continues in a “hold” mode for as long as the user remains within the effective range of the sensor.
When the user steps away, the loss of reflected light initiates an electrical “one-time” signal that activates the flushing cycle to flush the fixture. The Circuit automatically resets and is ready for the next user.

RANGE ADJUSTMENT (ADJUST ONLY IF NECESSARY)

The Optima Plus has a factory set sensing range: Water Closet Models – 22″ to 42″ (559 mm to 1067 mm) Urinal Models – 15″ to 30″ (381 mm to 762 mm)
The Factory setting should be satisfactory for most installations.
If the range is too short (i.e., not picking up users) or too long (i.e., picking up opposite wall or stall door) the range can be adjusted.
Note: Water does not have to be turned off to adjust range.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
WHEN ADJUSTING RANGE FOR URINAL SENSOR, MAKE SURE TO SET-UP A PROPER TARGET IN FRONT OF URINAL SENSOR.

Make sure to remove all the non-permanent targets in sensor view area. Push manual override button for 25 seconds. the Red LED in the G2 sensor starts slow blinking. Release the button during the LED blinking. The G2 will enter into distance setting mode. The setting mode will run for one (1) minute.

Optima® Flushometer

TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTAINING THE SLOAN OPTIMA PLUS® FLUSHOMETER

IMPORTANT: This product contains mechanical and/or electrical components that are subject to normal wear. These components should be checked on a regular basis and replaced as needed to maintain the valve’s performance.
Never open Control Stop to where the flow from the valve exceeds the flow capability of the fixture. In the event of a valve failure, the fixture must be able to accommodate a continuous flow from the valve.
ATTENTION INSTALLERS: With the exception of the control stop inlet, DO NOT USE pipe sealant or plumbing grease on any valve component or coupling! To protect the chrome or special finish of Sloan flushometers, DO NOT USE toothed tools to install or service these valves. Use our A-50 Super-WrenchTM or other smooth-jawed wrench to secure couplings. Regulations for low consumption fixtures (1.6 gpf/6.0 Lpf closets and 1.0 gpf/3.8 Lpf urinals) prohibit use of higher flush volumes.
1. Sensor flashes continuously only when user steps within range.
A. Unit in Start-Up mode; no problem. This feature is active for the first ten (10) minutes of operation.
2. Valve does not flush; sensor not picking up user.
A. Range too short; increase the range.
3. Valve does not flush; sensor picking up opposite wall or surface, or only flushes when someone walks by. Red light flashes continuously for first 10 minutes even with no one in front of the sensor.
A. Range too long; shorten range.
4. Valve does not flush even after adjustment.
A. Range Adjustment Potentiometer set at full “max” or full “min” setting. Readjust Potentiometer away from full “max” or “min” setting.
B. Batteries completely used up; replace batteries.
C. Problem with Electronic Sensor Module; replace Electronic Sensor Module.
5. Unit flashes four (4) quick times when user steps within range.
A. Batteries low; replace batteries.
6. Valve does not shut off.
A. Bypass Orifice in Diaphragm is clogged with dirt or debris, or Bypass is clogged by an invisible gelatinous film due to “over-treated” water. Remove Flex Tube Diaphragm and wash under running water.
Note: Size of orifice in the by-pass is of utmost importance for the proper metering of water by the valve. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. Replace flex tube diaphragm if cleaning does not correct the problem.
B. Dirt or debris fouling Stem or Flex Tube Diaphragm. Remove Flex Tube Diaphragm and wash under running water.
C. O-ring on Stem of Flex Tube Diaphragm is damaged or worn. Replace O-ring if necessary.
D. Problem with Electronic Sensor Module; replace Sensor Module.

7. Not enough water to fixture. A. Wrong Flush Volume Regulator installed in Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit. Install the correct Regulator (see Step 6 of these instructions). B. Wrong Optima Plus® Diaphragm kit installed; i.e., 1 gpf. urinal installed on 3.5 gal. closet fixture. Replace with proper Optima Plus diaphragm kit. C. Enlarged Bypass in Diaphragm. Replace Flex Tube Diaphragm. D. Control Stop not adjusted properly. Readjust Control Stop. E. Inadequate volume or pressure at supply. Increase water pressure or supply (flow) to valve. Consult factory for assistance.
8. Too much water to fixture. A. Wrong Flush Volume Regulator installed in Flex Tube Diaphragm Kit. Install the correct Regulator (see Step 6 of these instructions). B. Control Stop not adjusted properly. Readjust Control Stop. C. Wrong Optima Plus Diaphragm kit installed; i.e., 3.5 gpf. closet installed on 0.5 gal. urinal fixture. Replace with proper Optima Plus Diaphragm kit. D. Dirt in Diaphragm Bypass. Clean under running water or replace Flex Tube Diaphragm.
CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES
DO NOT USE abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean flushometers as they may dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative finishes. Use ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the flushometer should be protected from any splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove chrome plating.
When assistance is required, please contact Sloan Technical Support at: 1-888-SLOAN-14 (1-888-756-2614).
