Rada, the commercial division of Kohler Mira, has introduced the Tripoint-F™ electronic basin tap,
It is claimed to be an ideal no-touch tap for public washrooms and hand washing environments in sites such as hotels, leisure and sports facilities, offices and surgeries.
Tripoint-F works by making use of a battery powered infrared sensor technology called Tripoint™ which works in a similar manner to an auto focus camera. It features a transmitter and receiver and when a user approaches the tap and their hands enter the 'triangle'- approximately 14cms - it activates the water flow.
The tap has the capability of being installed with pre-mixed supplies and with or without temperature adjustment when installed with separate hot and cold supplies.
It also incorporates an energy reducing timed flow facility, a mixer temperature control, a vandal proof design, in line filters and a self cleaning diaphragm. All models are supplied with WRAS approved flexible hoses.
Being battery operated the Tripoint-F can be installed without the need for an electrician, a feature the company says opens up a range of new possibilities for installing infrared taps in areas where they had previously been uneconomic to install.
Power consumption sees the 6v lithium battery offering an expected life span of between 3 and 5 years. Watertight seals protect the sensors and control electronics, with all serviceable components accessible from above the basin.
