The term “smart home” no longer surprise anyone. But “smart plumbing” is just beginning to slowly master our territories, although in neighboring European countries it has long firmly occupies a certain niche of the plumbing market. We will catch up with Europe and using Nyiny. We will start getting to know the “smart plumbing” with the simplest representative of this species – with an automatic crane or crane with contactless control, as it is also called. So, here it is, an automatic crane in all its glory and in several versions from different manufacturers.
Automatic Geberit crane
We will get closer and try to understand how the automatic crane works. In a nutshell, the basis of any tap with contactless control is a chain – an infrared sensor with an electronics board and an electromagnetic water valve. Naturally, this small bunch of electronics cannot be imagined without a case in which all this is installed and the power element that gives electricity to all this design. The principle of operation of the automatic crane is very simple-as soon as a item (most often-hands) falls into the infrared sensor sensitivity zone, the electronics supplies the control voltage to the electromagnetic valve, it opens and water goes from the nose of the automatic tap. We remove our hands from the area of action of the sensor – the automatic crane closes the water. Everything is extremely simple and clear.

Structurally automatic cranes of different manufacturers may differ: appearance; various power supply voltage; Contain the entire electronics inside the case or in a separate small container that is fixed under the washbasin or sink.
Functionally, there are also differences. The simplest automatic cranes have quite a few operating restrictions. For example, opposite the automatic crane should not be reflecting surfaces; Direct sunlight should not fall on the sensor; there is a limit on the minimum distance between the two row installed automatic cranes and other.

More “advanced” representatives of the Automatic Cranes family have the so -called intellectual electronics. This means that your task is only to install an automatic crane in the right place. Next, you turn on the food and go to another room. The intellectual electronics of your automatic crane will determine the parameters of the room and set up the optimal sensitivity of the infrared sensor.
All, enjoy the comfortable operation of the automatic crane. And if some parameter does not suit you, the remote control panel is at your service . With it, you can configure sensitivity, the operation time, finally, just turn off the automatic mixer.
By the way, except for high hygiene (you do not touch the crane body when using), automatic mixers save 25-30 percent of water. There is something to think about. Especially the owners of bars, cafes, restaurants, shopping and entertainment centers, where visitors sometimes simply forget to close water.
That’s it for today. The next time we continue with Nyiny. Study automatic plumbing.
