How Touchless Faucet Sensors Work

Infrared vs. Time‐of‐Flight (ToF) Technology

BathSelect includes sophisticated infrared (IR) sensors with AI smart-chips and Time‑of‑Flight (ToF) sensors in some models to accurately read distance

Mechanism Overview Diagram

  1. IR or ToF sensor sends light pulse
  2. Signal bounces off hands
  3. Return signal is detected by sensor
  4. Solenoid valve opens up
  5. Water is turned off when hands take off or time out

Dual-Sensor Design

The majority of BathSelect models use proximity and motion sensors powered by AI chips for fewer misfires and responsiveness.

Sensor Accuracy & Activation Speed

Activation Response Time

The test is recorded to identify activation times below 0.5 seconds with ranges at 3–4 inches. ToF sensors take it one step further with accuracy.

Accuracy in Business Applications

Fontana benchmark reports spectacular reductions of false activation (25% → 5%) and missed activation (15% → 1.5%), and up to 92% end-user satisfaction. BathSelect preserves the same performance based on the same technology.

Resistance to False Activations

Resistance to random triggers:

  • Stopping moving objects
  • Light interference
  • Other IR devices (e.g., soap dispensers)

BathSelect uses AI logic and ToF to minimize areas of activation, eliminating interference and reflections.

Cost Savings due to Sensor Accuracy

Waste Reduction through Accuracy

Genuine commercial use of BathSelect faucets realizes 35–40% mean water savings, and up to 70% in specific applications. This is through:

  • Rapid sensor response
  • Rapid shut-off logic
  • Low-flow aeration

Maintenance Cycles & Reliability

Sensor Longevity & Durability

BathSelect faucets have solid brass body, 3–5 year warranties, and 3-year battery life. Less than 5% of units require annual recalibration.

False Activation Correction

False activation is rare and typically fixed through firmware revisions or recalibration.

Changes User Experience & Real-Life Response

Tenant & Architect Feedback

90%+ user satisfaction evidenced by cleanliness and usability surveys. Architects like precision and clean design.

Facility Management Insight

  • Installation and maintenance ease
  • Low service calls rate (<5% per annum)
  • Reduced vandalism with hands-free use

Summary of Sensor Performance
