The no-touch control of INTERSAN electronic wash troughs is based on a unique passive detection system. As the INTERSAN system is passive, it does not emit any signals at all, but constantly remains in a quiescent mode.
The passive infrared sensors only react to temperature radiated by human hands in a broad three-dimensional detection field. Accordingly, neither skin color nor darkness, day light, noise or objects can disturb their accurate mode of operation.
Though the detection field is very broad, it remains strictly confined to the inner dimensions of the wash troughs, thus prohibiting unwanted operation by passers-by.
The electromagnetic valve is entirely controlled by individual microprocessors. Upon activation water flows for a minimum of 8 seconds, and continues for as long as hands remain present in the detection field.
The valve only closes after a continued absence of any detection for three seconds. The functionality of a wash trough is unquestionably increased by providing it with appropriate electronic detection means. As the electronics were designed for extended and thorough hand washings, optimum user convenience is achieved.
In between two cycles of water flow, an interval of two seconds prevents system abuse.
