Intellifaucet D Series Owner's Manual Computer-Controlled Mixing Valve Version 1.1, May 1995 Revised February 26, 1998 CONTENTS INSTALLATION OPERATION MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR TROUBLESHOOTING WARRANTY INSTALLATION Requirements Adequate supplies of hot and cold water must be provided. WATER MUST BE FILTERED WITH 50 MICRON OR FINER FILTER MEDIA. Do not connect the output of the Intellifaucet to a closed system (such as a processing machine) without using an anti-siphon vacuum breaker, such as a Watts 288A. For instant hot water, install a recirculating loop on the hot water supply. A chiller may be needed to get very cold water. Mechanical Connections The Intellifaucet is shipped mounted to the wall bracket. Fasteners are supplied to attach the wall bracket to wood or masonry walls. Use unions on all pipe connections. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to open and close the valves. Remove access caps and put screwdriver in slot of motor shaft. Prepare mounting surface, attach wall bracket and attach Intellifaucet to the bracket. Connect pipe fittings to the Intellifaucet valves. HOT IS ON THE LEFT; COLD IS ON THE RIGHT. Connect the pipe fitting to the outlet. Slowly pressurize the system checking all connections for leaks. FIGURE 1- MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS Electrical Connections Connect the Intellifaucet to the AC adaptor. Plug the AC adaptor into an OUTLET EQUIPPED WITH A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER. OPERATION To start the Intellifaucet, rotate the control knob to the desired temperature setting. The water will turn on. The ready light glows when the temperature is within 0.5 degree F of the setting. Rotate to OFF to turn off the water. NOTE: The water must turn off when the knob is set to OFF. If not, see troubleshooting section. Use an external valve for flow control, preferably a full-port ball valve. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Seat seal replacement The seat seals and plunger are replaced as a unit called the plunger assembly. When replacing the plunger assemblies, replace the stem seal O-rings . New plunger assemblies and O-rings are available from HMC. (NS) means not shown in the figure.

Turn off the water supplied to the Intellifaucet. Remove the caps (NS). Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the slot on the motor shaft. Open the valves one rotation by rotating counterclockwise as seen from above. Remove the 6 cover screws (NS). Gently lift the cover (NS) straight up. Avoid damaging the front panel gasket (NS). Remove the two screws (NS) holding the front panel (NS) to the base. These screws are located on the underside of the base. Gently disconnect the thermocouple plug (NS) (bright yellow). Pull the front panel forward and away from the unit and set aside. Remove the 2 faucet-base retaining nuts (#5). Gently lift the base (#6) off the faucet and set aside. Loosen the bonnet (#7). Remove the bonnet (#7). While unscrewing the bonnet, hold the stem (#11) stationary to prevent it from jamming up against the underside of the bonnet. The stem assembly is removed with the bonnet. Unscrew the plunger assembly (#12) from the stem (#11). This is a left hand thread. Loosen the coupling (#4) set screws and remove the coupling from the stem (#11). Remove the stem (#11) from the bonnet (#7) exposing the O-ring (#9) inside. Replace the O-ring (#9) with a fresh one. Lubricate the O-ring with Parker Super O Lube or equivalent (silicon-based grease) when assembling. Lubricate the stem threads with Never-Seez or food grade anti-seize lubricant. Reassemble in reverse order of disassembly. IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE SEAT SEAL IS NOT SEATED WHEN TIGHTENING BONNET. Calibration Note: All Intellifaucets are factory calibrated before shipping. Adjust the SPAN screw and the ZERO screw to calibrate the Intellifaucet as follows. Calibration Procedures Set a 16 ounce container so that the outlet of the Intellifaucet fills the container and spills over into a drain. Place a reference thermometer in the 16 ounce container. Set the Intellifaucet to 68 degrees F. Wait 2-5 minutes. Read and record the reference temperature. Set the Intellifaucet to 102 degrees F. Wait 2-5 minutes. Read and record the reference temperature. Set up a table as follows: (example values)  T setpoint T actual Difference (T actual - T setpoint)  70.0 69.2 -0.8 105.0 104.1 -0.9 There are four possible cases: Case 1: Both differences equal 0. The unit is calibrated. Case 2: Both differences are equal, but not equal to 0. Rotate the ZERO pot clockwise to lower the actual temperature, counterclockwise to raise it. Start over at 4 until results lead to Case 1. Case 3: The difference at the higher temperature is more positive than the difference at the lower temperature. Rotate the SPAN pot screw counter-clockwise. Start over at 4 until results lead to Case 2. Case 4: The difference at the lower temperature is more positive than the difference at the higher temperature. Rotate the SPAN pot screw clockwise. Start over at 4 until results lead to Case 2. Repeat calibration as needed. TROUBLESHOOTING If a problem exists which is not listed in the chart, contact HMC. We will help you to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Symptom Cause What to do Valves do not open Overtightened Loosen valves with screwdriver Temperature wrong Sticky internal valves Water must shut off completely when at OFF. If not, unplug, wait 3 seconds, plug in. Repeat up to 5 times if needed. Nothing happens Power not connected Check cables, check GFI reset Device is not plugged in Plug into a working outlet Fuse blown Replace wall adaptor - non-replaceable fuse. Have Intellifaucet checked for proper operation. Valves cycle (temperature fluctuates) Supply to valves not correct Check plumbing - hot on the left, cold on the right Flow is restricted Check manual valves in system, check for blockages Cleaning Clean the Intellifaucet with a mild soap on a damp cloth. Do not use cleanser or other abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surfaces.
