New Gooseneck style Ultra-Sense faucets

Dec 09, 2011

The new Ultra-Sense gooseneck style faucets are designed for the most demanding commercial applications and provide simple installation and maintenance, making these faucets popular for public restrooms, hospitals, schools, and other commercial buildings. They feature above-deck accessibility with Position Sensitive Detection (PSD) technology, sleek design and vandal-resistance.

  • 60, 120 and 360 degree swivel options out of the box
  • Adapts to existing single hole or 4 inch installation (with optional 4" deck plate)
  • Three year battery life (based on 210 cycles per day)
  • Stylish design
  • Designed for tempered water only
  • Solid brass housing
  • PSD sensors are unaffected by inconsistent lighting environments, varying surface colors or textures and splashes – resulting in the most reliable performance available.
  • Watertight seals protect the sensors and internal electronics while providing convenient above the-deck access.
  • 1.5 GPM vandal resistant aerator (0.5GPM and laminar available)
  • Options include 4” and 8” Deckplate or single hole mounting





Position Sensitive Technology Makes Sense
Symmons’ Position Sensitive Detection technology provides for better management of ambient color, lighting and object distance than traditional infrared faucets. That’s because PSD opto-electronics perform an :active triangulation measurement” of an object’s distance from the faucet – instead of measuring its infrared temperature.



With PSD, a sender LED projects an infrared beam through a sender lens, which focuses on an approaching object. The spot of light that reflects back from the object is focused through a receiver lens to a location on the PSD sensor. This location is proportional to the object’s distance from the sensor. When the sensor detects an object within its set limit, water flow is triggered. When the object moves beyond the limit, water flow stops.
As a result of PSD technology, and object’s color or surface quality is no longer a factor in its detection. In fact, when different colored objects are placed approximately one foot away from a faucet equipped with PSD technology, they will be measured to within 5% of their actual distance, as opposed to less than 50% with conventional infrared faucets.
