First, we should understand the basic technology behind touchless sensor faucets. Most touchless automatic faucets use infrared sensors. These sensors emit infrared light. When an object, such as a person’s hand, enters the sensor’s detection range, it interrupts the infrared light. The sensor then sends a signal to a solenoid valve, which controls the water flow. When the hand moves out of the detection range, the sensor stops sending the signal, and the valve turns off the water.
In a multi-user scenario, such as a public restroom or commercial kitchen, this technology becomes even more crucial. In a public restroom, for example, multiple people use the faucets throughout the day. The touchless feature is a game-changer in terms of hygiene. Since users don’t have to touch the faucet handles, the spread of germs is significantly reduced. This is especially important in today’s era where health and safety are top priorities.
In a multi-user environment, the detection range must be carefully calibrated. If the range is too short, users may have to wave their hands right in front of the sensor, which can be inconvenient. On the other hand, if the range is too long, the faucet could turn on when someone is passing by, leading to unnecessary water waste.
That’s where products like dual sensor faucets come in handy. This device is designed to optimize the detection range and save water. One is wave sensor in the side of the faucet, with short sensing distance, hand wave one time, water flow and wave again, water stop. Another is auto sensor under the spout, water flow when hands enter into the sensing zone, and water stops after hands left. These two infrared sensors are not straightly direct to human body, so it can largely reduce the false trigger, avoid the water waste.
Another important aspect is response time. In a busy multi-user area, users expect the water to turn on and off quickly. A slow, touchless faucet can be frustrating and may even lead to more water being used as users try to get the water flowing. High-quality touchless faucets are designed to have a fast response time, usually within a fraction of a second.
The wave sensor and auto sensor faucets is a great example of a product that focuses on fast response times. It uses advanced sensor technology to detect hand presence almost instantly, ensuring a seamless user experience.
