Scientific and technical progress is omnipresent. Annually, so that there - almost every month there appear many new products designed to simplify our lives. Just got used to fax, modem and other equipment as bats - the mobile phone. Only just barely learned how to use whirlpool baths, like cotton - get a toilet with music or without tank. Will you come, happened, in any office in the toilet - and did not even know how to drain water, how to wash your hands: either you the mother of our mixer ever broken valves or painfully familiar tank. What should I do? Do not ask the same of the first who came "in need", as we all use it. So let us better prepare in advance. About many things we already know, but there is still much to learn. Here, let's, for example, talk about electronics to plumbing. True, a reservation straight away that this invention applies more in public places. But this magazine is designed for anyone who makes or is undergoing renovation. And who said that it is done only at home? However, for home electronics is also nice. Let's start with the electronics of the tap on the sink. Valve body of the mixer looks almost no different from the usual odnorychagovogo. None ... just a lever, "includes" or "turns off" the water and on the body has a small screen. Behind a screen installed infrared sensor with a constant radiation, which reacts to the movement of the hand. And in case there is a "nest" for the batteries, which supplies electronic device. This mixer operates as follows: as soon as we bring your hands to the faucet, they fall into the zone of the beam. Ray "gives" device signal device "savvy": that it is time to include water. And after a few seconds the sensor to react, open water. When we remove the arm, the sensor reacts again, and the water stops flowing. How to set the temperature of the water if there are no levers or valves? Very simple. There are three ways of adjustment. Firstly, there are electronic faucets, on the body which has a special trigger (so small that some sellers is affectionately called his bow). But with its help, you can adjust the temperature. This design, of course, is more suitable for home, where everyone can "start up" of the water temperature that is needed. But there are mixers in which the right (either at the factory or during installation) inside the body is exposed certain temperature. Typically, the most comfortable for humans - plus 38 ° C. These taps are usually installed in the restrooms or airport eateries. And indeed in such a place where visitors need only to wash their hands, it is possible to do with warm water. There is another model. However, it is not even a mixer, and the faucet is equipped with an electronic device. Such a crane can "give" the water of any temperature, because the water warms up the thermostat mixer. The thermostat is set at certain temperature and at all times to support her. However, if suddenly a central water supply will be offset by any water, it will not just pour cold or hot, but just shuts down. However, such modifications are also used mainly in public buildings. It is very convenient: the set, for example, 10 of these cranes, and only one thermostat mixer which would "serve" the warm water. Incidentally, these valves is significantly cheaper than the mixers. True, there is a caveat: the temperature of incoming water may vary depending on the temperature in the "hot" and "cold" pipes. Pipes, of course, are laid in the ground and heated in different ways, depending on the season. For example, if the summer cold water has a temperature of +18-20 ° C and in winter - about +5 ° C, then hot water is hot in summer than in winter. And it means, and the final temperature of our water can be different. Programmable electronic faucets: You can adjust the distance from which the electronic sensor will be triggered and the time of "leakage" of water. In some manufacturers used for this purpose console. And other firms remote control is universal: it can be configured and faucets, and drain apparatus for a urinal. Electronics one of the firms set up by hand .... It needs to bring his hand at a certain time and distance to the window of infrared radiation. For example, you need to wash the sink. You understand that to do so will not be easy, because every time you move to pour water. However, if you bring a hand to the window by 2 cm and hold it for 3 seconds, pour the water first, but then it stops the flow for 3 minutes. The secret lies in the fact that the distance of only 2 cm - outside the box (no one will be so close to hold the hands to wash them). Therefore, in this case, the instrument is programmed to temporarily disable the water. No, of course, there are special valves, the overlying water. However, they are under the sink. I believe much more comfortable casually waved to the "nose" sensor than every time to crawl under the sink. Agree, it happens that when we wash, say, the floors, can throw a rag or a sponge in the sink. Abandoned. And what happens in this case? Triggered if the sensor? Yes, but the water will pour just a few seconds. Then the flow stops. Why? And because the sensor mixer is designed in such a way that it responds only to motion. So what if the "subject" remains fixed (rag thrown and lying in the sink), the mixer will be closed. By the way, even if your hands bring it to the tap, but, as said in the statement, "not to produce any action, the water is turned off. On the other hand, it is unlikely we will be able to wash their hands, "not producing" these most "action". And not only how to flush the soap? In addition to electronic mixers, electronic devices were designed for the urinal. Both built-in (hidden behind a wall or partition) and external (ie, hanging on the wall). As is the case with a mixer, by itself, the device remains the standard urinal. Only now it is installed infrared sensor. It's the work, however, differently from the mixer. In the sense that if the tap water begins to flow immediately, the urinal unit starts working only after 7 seconds of human presence in front of a urinal, and hence the sensor. This trick has been programmed, I should say especially. Firstly, that a man could do all things "in the dry", that is, to him, sorry, no causal space irrigated with water at the most inopportune moment. If a man stood in the area of ??the infrared beam 7 seconds, the device "recognizes" him as a user and will only work after he retired from the plumbing device (experts call it "the principle of retroactivity"). True, the sensors are so-called first generation were primitive "odnoglazkovymi: in such an electronic device was only one" eye "that emits a ray. The sensitivity of this design was small because the reflectivity of clothing depends on its color. Dark clothing absorbs all the rays and does not reflect them back to the peephole receiver electronics. In other words, the device could simply does not "recognize" a man in dark clothing and did not drain the water after him. But last year, the Swiss firm Geberit »(Geberit) began to produce improved, more sensitive sensors. Now they have "mnogoglazkovy" emitter, which resembles a honeycomb. So, despite the color of clothing, such a device will work properly. Incidentally, there is a "mnogoglazkovogo" sensor and another advantage. The fact is that if the opposite urinal hanging mirror, before the rays reflected from the mirror, got back to the drain device, and it "went mad". To prevent this from happening, the distance from the emitting device to the mirror should be not less than two meters. The new electronics, this distance was reduced to 90 cm, which is especially good for tight spaces. Finally, it is now possible to solve the eternal "headache" our Russian public toilets - all of us, alas, we know how for some reason do not like our compatriots to pour water over themselves. So, in our market there an electronic device for toilets. True, it is intended only for embedded cisterns. Understandably, the principle of its operation is no different from the electronics for urinals. Especially popular is the device uses it in public toilets. Because in such places, you see, do not want to touch. And besides, electronics do the work yourself "over the sink" for the negligent and forgetful citizens. In fact, originally electronic devices appeared when there was a need for automation of public toilets. But this device is convenient for home toilets, especially if a family has young children, disabled or elderly, who sometimes are simply unable to cope with the faucet or drain the unit. Moreover, imagine you are, for example, very dirty hands. So, before you wash them, have time to cool and dirty faucet. This is especially true in the kitchen. And electronic gadgets are remarkable in that it helps save water. According to our tests of electronics to five times more economical odnorychagovogo mixer. This advantage is particularly noticeable in houses where water meters already installed. Speaking of saving money. It is fair to say that electronic devices are not cheap. And not everyone can immediately change the conventional faucets and flushing devices to electronic ones. Electronics manufacturers understand this. Wherefore let out for the urinals (both electronic and push) a single mounting element - housing that is built into the wall. So that it can be mounted as a push-drive (referred to more drukshpyulerami), and electronic. Thus, push the "head" drukshpyulera can easily be replaced by electronic. However, as we found for the toilet had not yet invented a common mounting element. How to fix? There is a fair question: Do these devices are easy to break, and if so, can they be repaired? I hasten to please: to break into them, especially nothing. First, because most of the electronic devices made in such a way that even a sledgehammer and not broken. Of course, to analyze mixers or discharge device is possible. And simply, with a screwdriver. But this is not breaking, and removal. Batteries, you know, eventually fail. To do this, simply open a special cap (as in any household remote control), remove the old - and insert a new one. All that can be used again. Window infrared emitter absolutely not "afraid" of water. In the showroom of one of the firms it is especially always lies in the jar with water. And nothing. The lamp is not extinguished - hence, the device works. However, if you're still afraid to "dunk" the device, for example, when cleaning the valve body, please can purchase a special panel that covers the window. True, it is not every firm. The only thing that can really affect not the best way, not even at an infrared sensor, and at the tap - the quality of our water. Therefore, better yet pre-set privacy filters that do not fall into the rust and lime. No special protective filters any device goes down a lot faster - it's a fact. What You Should Know plumber? Get ready: when you call the plumber from the housing department, it is likely he will refuse to install "a feature-rich tap. Scratch their heads and say, they say, mistress, "I'm afraid with such a clever mechanism to communicate!" So, do not believe it. And urezonte plumbing. Electronic mixer is determined simply as the most common. Moreover, now it is not necessary specifically to sum wiring. 1 - the minimum response time at 230 V = 4 seconds, with 9 V = 10 sec, 2 - pre-wash only when powered by 230 V; 3 - the main wash, 4 - sanitary washing 24 hours after last use; At the time, first-generation model worked only after a crane "included into the wall." Then the German manufacturers have offered us the electronic devices that operate from a 6-volt battery. And today is even simpler: basically all faucets "feed" from a 9-volt batteries, "Crone" or "Corundum". This battery lasts for 200-300 thousand uses, or, more simply, for 2-3 years. And the price is quite inexpensive. Electronic discharge device for urinal and toilet work mainly from 220 volts. But it's not dangerous, because inside the installed transformer, which converts the voltage to a safe. However, the electronics for the urinals can also operate on batteries, 6 and 9 volts. All electronic devices operate at water pressure of 0,5 to 10 bar. For those who do not know, I say: in our homes, even high-rise, there is always pressure 1,5 bar. You understand that buy electronic device or not - a personal matter. One thing I can say in their favor: the complete absence of deficiencies (as might, I could not find them), they have many advantages - it is convenient, hygienic, but also saves water.
