Overview

The market-leading Infrared Control (IRC®) urinal flushing valve from Cistermiser automatically manages the supply of water to a urinal cistern. The PIR sensor detects movement and activates the solenoid valve, allowing water into the cistern.

Why buy this product?

This is simple retrofit solution that can reduce water consumption by over 80%.
Urinals often flush regardless of use, wasting a lot of water, especially out of hours. Installing a Cistermiser IRC valve can save on average 129,600 litres of water per year and reduce costs by up to £386 per urinal bowl.

How it works

The Infrared Urinal Flush Control (IRC®) consists of a solenoid valve and the sensor module. The solenoid assembly is plumbed in on the water supply to the urinal cistern. The connection to the infrared sensor is made either by directly mounting the sensor module on to the solenoid or by using the “floating socket” supplied for a remote mounting.

When the IRC® detects movement in the washroom, a pulse from the sensor opens the normally – closed solenoid valve and water flows to the cistern.

In normal mode, the device flushes a maximum of 2 times per hour and will perform a maintenance flush if the sensor detects no occupancy for 12 hours.

In economy mode, an additional delay of 15 minutes is provided before the normal mode operating cycle is activated, to save even more water. This means that the cistern will flush a maximum of 2 times in 90 minutes.
