900 Futura Faucet With Adaptive Infrared Sensor Metering Control
The 900 Futura Faucets are built for extremely reliable infrared activation and vandal resistance in high traffic washrooms. Its clean low-profile design fits any decor adding style to the washroom environment. When powered up the adaptive sensor automatically adjusts its range to fit the lavatory bowl. The 900 Futura Faucet complies with both the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the National Energy Act (NEA). This is a commercial grade, solid brass body faucet with a heavy-duty chrome plated finish.

Consider the following when specifying the Bradley 900 Futura Faucet:

  1. Smooth simple design with no crevices or seams to trap dirt and debris.
  2. Solid brass chrome-plated faucet body with sensor protected by a flush mounted, shatter-resistant polycarbonate shield for superior durability and vandal resistance.
  3. The faucet will shut-off in 30 to 45 seconds if a stationary object is placed in the sensor's detection area.
  4. Adaptive sensor works with any size lavatory bowl.
  5. No-touch operation addresses concerns about communicable diseases and keeps fixtures clean.
  6. The sensor housing includes an LED diagnostic light to diagnose most electronic problems.
  7. Designed for single tempered supply.
  8. Thermostatic mixing valve set available with recessed or surface mounted box and remote solenoid valves.
  9. Reliable Infrared Metering Activation
  10. Broad Sensing Zone Within Bowl
  11. Vandal Resistant
  12. Automatic Sensor Adaptation to Lav Bowl
  13. Centershank or 4" Centerset Mounting, 8" Centerset Optional

Specifications:

User Operation
The faucet activates water flow only when the user's hands enter a broad infrared detection zone within the lavatory bowl perimeter. The faucet turns itself off after the hands are removed from the lavatory bowl area, allowing users to dry hands or groom without wasting water.

Component Operation
The Futura Model 900 controls water flow by using an Accu-Zone® sensor module to electronically open and close a 24V solenoid valve. Both electronic components are powered by a 24V class II transformer (provided by Bradley as an option).

The Accu-Zone® sensor module uses two zone-focused infrared transmitting beams to create a large detection area confined strictly to the lavatory bowl. When the hands enter the detection area, the sensor starts water flow by electronically opening the solenoid valve. When hands leave the detection area, the sensor stops water flow by closing the solenoid valve.
Accu-Zone® Infrared Control

The Accu-Zone® sensor module uses two zone-focused infrared transmitting beams — each creating a detection area not exceeding the bowl perimeter. The detection range projects 6-9 inches forward at a 30° angle to each side and reaches 5° below horizontal. The Accu-Zone® infrared sensor is not affected by varying color tones or darkness. Direct sunlight or bright washroom lights (up to 10,000 ft. candles) will not activate the system.

The incoming water supply can be tempered or cold. An optional Bradley Vernatherm Thermostatic Mixing Valve delivers tempered water at a temperature no greater than 105°F.

Standard Equipment:

Infrared Sensor
The sensor module uses a zone-focused infrared transmitting beam, creating a detection area not exceeding the bowl perimeter. Accu-Zone® sensors shall react (activate) when the user’s hands enter the detection area. A timing turn-off delay of 2-3 seconds results in a smooth, controlled hand-washing operation. The Accu-Zone® sensor is not affected by varying color tones or darkness. Direct sunlight or bright washroom lights (up to 10,000 foot candles) will not activate the system.

Solenoid
24V, 50/60Hz, 1/8" NPT. The electronically activated solenoid valve provides reliable performance since there are few moving parts and its operation is unaffected by most chemicals and minerals often present in municipal water supplies.

Flow Control/Rate
Operating range 20-100 PSI. Flow restrictor keeps flow rate constant at all pressures. The flow rate is .5 GPM, laminar flow outlet.

Body
Chrome plated, solid cast brass body, centershank or 4" centerset mounting (standard), 8" centerset mounting (optional) with mounting plate.

Sanitary
No-touch operation reduces water/soap splatter and addresses the public’s increasing awareness and concern about communicable diseases.

Vandal Resistant
There are no surface-mounted controls to tempt vandals. The sensor module is sealed airtight and is located inside the faucet. The sensor’s infrared send-and-receive optics are protected by a shatter-resistant polycarbonate shield. The Accu-Zone® sensor will automatically shut off water flow after 30-45 seconds if a vandal attempts to trigger constant operation by covering the sensor or placing a stationary object in the sensor’s detection zone.

Barrier-Free (ANSI A117-1-1990)
The sensor module produces a broad detection zone which allows disabled users to easily activate the faucet from either a front or side approach.
