How to Test and Adjust Sensing Range on a Urinal Sensor
A properly adjusted urinal sensor is essential for reliable automatic flushing, water efficiency, and trouble-free operation in commercial washrooms. If the sensing range is too short, the sensor may fail to detect the user. A sensing range that is too long can lead to unnecessary triggering and unwanted flushing. Whether you are installing an automatic urinal sensor for a new automatic urinal pot or upgrading an existing urinal, checking the sensing range should be part of the installation process. What Is the Sensing Range of a Urinal Sensor? The sensing range is the distance at which the infrared sensor detects a person standing in front of the urinal. Most sensor flushers use infrared detection technology to identify the user's presence and activate the flushing cycle. The correct range relies on the sensor design, installation height, washroom layout, and the type of urinal pot that the sensor uses.
