THE UTC URINAL FLUSHING SYSTEM

BENEFITS

Water Conservation:	The UTC delays the flushing of the urinals.
Vandal Resistance:	All (3) UTC components can be placed out of reach.
Reduced Maintenance:	No Flush Valves to repair or replace.
Track Record:	More than 5,000 installations in Canada.

UTC SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The UTC Controller

In-depth research and design along with leading edge technology has produced a sophisticated unit capable of controlling multiple urinals simultaneously. Easy push button programming and a large L.E.D. display adds to user convenience.

Flexible programming options allow for settings to accommodate any washroom environment. The Controller displays a continuous operational status and tracks the number of flushes to aid in consumption analysis

Stages of operation of the UTC Controller

Stage 1 -	The default (inactivity) stage – (count down is in hours) Urinals will always be flushed automatically.
Stage 2 -	The delay period of time (in minutes) before the solenoid valve is to be opened to flush the urinals.
Stage 3 -	The length of time (in seconds) that the solenoid valve is to stay open providing for a thorough flush.

*Motion Sensor*	A high-quality passive infrared motion sensor which continuously monitors the urinals for use. The sensor activation range can be "fine tuned" to ensure activation only after urinal use, eliminating false flushes. This sensor can be surface mounted on the wall, ceiling or recessed for increased vandal resistance.	Behind a Ceiling Grille
*Solenoid Valve*	The UTC Sentinel utilizes a high quality solenoid valve. Its slow activation feature eliminates water hammering. Extra long service life and low maintenance are features of the heavy-duty design and construction. The solenoid valves is installed in the main urinal supply line for new construction and flush valve retrofits or placed in the tank for the old style urinal tank retrofit (1950's type).
APPLICATIONS
	Urinal Tank Retrofits Popular back in the 1950's, these systems consisted of a porcelain urinal tank mounted high on the wall or in the chase. Piping from the bottom of the tank was then installed and connected to a bank of urinals. Typically the urinals were flushed every 20 minutes – each hour - each day - 365 days/year. The cost of water was inexpensive in the 50’s but it isn’t now. The water savings of a urinal tank retrofit with a UTC System can be as much as 95%.
	Flush Valve Retrofit Transforms unflushed fixtures into reliable automatic system based upon urinal use. It is a quick and easy retrofit procedure since the flush valves bodies can be left in place. Only the diaphragm assemblies are removed. Eliminates maintenance associated with flush valves. Ensures urinals are always flushed. When servicing a bank of 4 or more urinals, the UTC System is often less expensive than a group of individual sensor type flush valves. The ongoing maintenance costs are significantly less as well. Note: The flush valve retro-fit (shown left) was installed in this Columbus, Ohio school in January 1999. It consists of a bank of ten urinals being controlled by (1) UTC System. During the past nine (9) years, the only maintenance has been the one time removal of sediment from the solenoid valve due to a water main break.
	New Construction: Eliminates the need for any flush valves. Allows for the use of rear inlet urinals (less surface to clean). Multi-urinal flush control makes UTC the most economical system available. Designed for the long-term, fully automated, maintenance-free performance. Invisible installation maximizes vandal resistance and customer satisfaction. Additional Benefit: The UTC System will automatically flush the urinals during a period of inactivity (normally every 24 hours).
