How to change the nozzle
Use the nozzle changeover tool to unscrew the 5 litre (blue) nozzle. Insert the 3.5 litre
(orange) nozzle and tighten until flush; no part should be protruding from the end of the spout. Ensure it is not over tightened as this may pinch the “O” ring and cause the tap to leak.

Power connections
NOTE:
Only one power source should be connected at any time, either mains or batteries.
It is not possible to connect both simultaneously.
electrical connection
Connect the power connector from the spout to the mains adaptor, or in the case of a battery powered installation, the battery case.
If using the battery case, open it and fit 4 Alkaline
AA (LR-6) batteries as indicated. Reseal and fasten into place on panel using screws sticky pads.
A or with the
If using the mains adaptor, fasten into place on panel in a dry location using screws
A or with the sticky pads and connect the un-terminated mains cable to a 50Hz 230V AC single phase supply via a 1A fused spur (not supplied).
NOTE:
Remove the label from the sensor BEFORE connecting to the power. When the power is first connected the LED in the sensor flashes amber. This is normal and lasts only a few seconds.

inserting and replacing batteries
The ICU uses 2 AAA or LR03 alkaline batteries, these must be installed before use. Always use new batteries of the same type. Install as indicated in the battery compartment on the rear of the ICU.
NOTE:
Batteries should be replaced when the signal of the ICU becomes weak and it becomes difficult to activate either cleaning or configuration mode.
activating ICU configuration mode
In order to activate ICU configuration mode with the
ICU, it must be pointed at the sensor of the selected washroom product. Activation is most effective when the configuration button is held down as the ICU is brought close to the sensor. It can take up to 3 seconds for the product to sense the ICU.
The washroom product will return to normal operation if there are no button presses for 30 seconds.
activating cleaning mode
Cleaning mode, disables normal operation for cleaning for a timed 30 seconds. In order to activate cleaning mode with the ICU, it must be pointed at the sensor of the selected washroom product. Activation is most effective when the clean button is held down as the ICU is brought close to the sensor. It can take up to 3 seconds for the product to sense the ICU.
When the washroom product is in Clean Mode, the sensor flashes green once a second.
infrared spouts
The ICU can adjust/activate the sensor range, the run-on time and the 12hr hygiene cycle settings on the novatap, novaspout and vectaspout.
The product must always be put into ICU configuration mode before any setting can be configured.

Frequently asked questions
no water from tap / spout
Low battery. Change batteries.
The sensor is flashing red once a second
The sensor is not flashing at all when hands are in sensing range
The sensor is flashing green once a second when hands are in sensing range but there is no water
The sensor is covered
No power. Change batteries if battery powered. Ensure power is switched on and is reaching the spout. Check all electrical connections.
Water supply. Ensure water supply has been turned on and there is good working pressure. Minimum working pressure 0.5 bar.
Filter blockage
Novatap
Check filter in flexible hose
Novaspout/Vectaspout
Check filter in inlet to solenoid valve
Anti vandal mode has been triggered. The object/debris needs to be removed and the tap will resume normal functionality.
continuous flow of water or dripping from the spout
The sensor is not flashing at all
No power. The power has failed whilst the solenoid spout is open.
when hands are in sensing
Change batteries if battery powered. Ensure power is switched on range and is reaching the spout, check all electrical connections.
The sensor is flashing green once a second when hands are in sensing range
Water supply. Ensure water pressure is not above maximum working pressure of 6 bar or below minimum working pressure of
0.5 bar.
Novatap
Debris or scale in diaphragm/solenoid.
Contact Cistermiser Technical Department.
Novaspout/Vectaspout
Ensure the arrow on the valve is pointing in the direction of water flow. Ensure the water pressure is not above the maximum working pressure of 6 bar. Debris or scale in the diaphragm: isolate water supply to the valve and remove wires attached to the solenoid.
Undo the 4x screws and remove. This will give you access to the diaphragm (note orientation of diaphragm when reinstalling), flush under cold water and visually inspect. Re-install. Diaphragm has been damaged by debris. Carry out procedure for ‘Debris or scale in diaphragm’, visually inspect then call Cistermiser for further instructions.
water flow diminishes
The sensor is flashing green once a second when hands are in sensing range
Filter or aerator is blocked with scale or debris.
Remove aerator using key supplied, clean and reinstall.
Check filters prior to the aerator at the TMV.
For Novatap, check filter within the flexible connector.
