Chrome Plated Brass Sensor Operated 4" Center-set Electronic Hand Washing Faucet for tempered or hot/cold water operation. The Sloan OPTIMA® Series Electronic Hand Washing Faucet operates by means of an infrared sensor. Once the user's hands enter the sensor's effective range, the Solenoid activates the water flow. Tempered water flows from the Faucet until hands are moved away. The Faucet then automatically shuts off.
