The Senselec® TS range of touch sensitive electronic controls has been developed in response to the growing demand for water and energy-saving devices for use in domestic, commercial and industrial water systems. The system uses a purpose-built controller which incorporates a transformer to convert mains power to 6 volts to operate the solenoid valves. Features included within the control system give the customer the ability to control and monitor many different functions, including run times for each channel * lock out times if vandalism is detected * security lock out to disable all functions * on board alarm if vandalism is detected * ability to connect lock out functions remotely * on board keypad to set all functions.
The drawing (below) is a recreation of a typical installation using the Senselec® TS2 electronic water control system that could be found in any secure unit or detention centre where many special needs and unique problems need to be considered.
The drawing depicts 1 washbasin being supplied with hot and cold water the flow of which is controlled by 2 solenoid valves and 2 touch sensitive switches (hot and cold). The WC is fitted with an electronic flush valve, designed to be fitted in any standard cistern, that incorporates its own solenoid valve and one touch sensitive switch . The shower outlet is shown as premixed and is controlled by one solenoid valve and one touch sensitive switch. When the touch sensitive switch is activated it will send a pulse to the control box, the controller will then activate the solenoid that the switch is connected to for a programmed period of time, once the time has elapsed the controller will then shut the solenoid valve.
The Senselec® TS system is designed to give the designer as much flexibility as possible to create an electronic water control system that most closely meets the needs of his clients.
There are 4 separate components that must be selected to “build” a control system. First is the controller itself (image 1) in either a 4 or 6 channel version. Second is the touch sensitive switch (image 2) as either a separate switch or a keypad, taking care to order the correct product for different wall thicknesses. The third component is the solenoid valve (image 3) for connection directly onto the pipework or in the case of a WC for installation into a cistern. The fourth and final component is the outlet fitting (image 4), which can be selected from our range taking care to order the correct product for different wall thicknesses.
