The Vecta+ Sensor Tap range are easy to install, as retrofit or new build installations. They help to improve hygiene and prevent the transfer of pathogens with no-touch controls. With an infrared tap, the water only runs while your hands are in range, so these taps reduce wasted water, increase efficiency, save energy and reduce costs, while maintaining reliability and high performance.
Made to high standards, with options for mains or battery power, out of the box as standard. Our range of infrared sensor taps have a stylish and modern design, with highly intelligent electronics, that offer a safeguard to misuse and vandalism. They provide the optimum in hygiene for the modern-day commercial washroom and comes fitted with 3.5lpm flow regulator as standard with a 5lpm flow regulator in the box, to support environmental building schemes such as BREEAM.
Features and Benefits
3.5 Litres per minute: The Water Regulations require that the flow rate of a tap does not exceed 3.6 litres per minute where basins have no plug. The Vecta Plus Sensor tap configured with a 3.5 litres per minute limit will ensure compliance in such applications. This model of flow restrictor is non-aerated and thus suitable for high risk applications such as medical facilities and care homes, where the risk to users of legionella and other water-carried respiratory contracted viruses/bacteria is high.
Aerators/Nozzles: Vecta+ Sensor infrared taps are supplied with interchangeable nozzle/aerators to allow the outlets to be configured to either a 3.5 or 5 litres per minute flow rate.
The flow of water from the taps is turned on when the user presents their hands to the infrared sensor which is located on the lower body of the Vecta+ Sensor Tap.
The infrared tap sends out an infrared LED bean (invisible to the human eye). When something interrupts this infrared beam, for example the user’s hand, the infrared light is bounced back to the receiver in the taps, which switches on the solenoid valve, to allow the water to flow.
No contact is required. The sensor automatically activates the externally-sited solenoid valve. When the user’s hands are moved away the flow of water stops after a 2 second delay.

Observation – The sensor is flashing read continuously after hand is placed in sensing range
Action – Low battery. Change batteries
Observation – The sensor is not flashing at all when hands are in sensing range
Action – Battery power: Low battery. Change batteries. Mains power: Poor DC contact. Check power transformer connection
Observation – The sensor flashes red once when hands are in sensing range
Action – Water supply: Ensure water supply has been turned on and there is good working pressure. Minimum dynamic pressure 0.5 bar.
Action – Filter blockage: Vecta+ Sensor Tap or Vecta+ Sensor Spout: Check filter in flexible hose. Vecta+ Sensor Mixer Tap: Check filter in inlet to solenoid valve
Observation – The sensor is covered
Action – Anti-vandal mode has been triggered. The object/debris needs to be removed and the tap will resume normal functionality
Observation – Water is flowing when no user is present
Action – Water supply. Ensure water pressure is between 0.5 bar and 6 bar.
Action – Filters: Ensure filters are clear, clean if required. Vecta+ Sensor Tap and Spout filter is in inlet to control box. Vectra+ Mixer Tap filter is in flexi-hose fitting.
Debris in solenoid valve: Contact Cistermiser
Observation – The sensor flashes red once when hands are in sensing range
Action – Filter is blocked with scale or debris.
Action – Aerator is blocked with scale or debris.
Observation – The sensor flashes red once when hands are in sensing range
Action – TMV / water pressure issue: Ensure water supply to TMV is balanced and pressure is suitable for TMV specification.
Observation – The sensor flashes red once when hands are in sensing range
Action – TMV / water pressure issue: Ensure water supply to TMV is balanced and pressure is suitable for TMV specification.
Ensure hot water pipes are insulated to minimise cold dead legs.
