Utilising sensor technology derived from camera systems—an innovation being used for the first time in a toilet flush plate—TECEsolid can distinguish between deliberate activation movements and other user motions, reducing unintentional flushing. The integrated hygiene and interval flush programme, easily programmable via an app, enhances hygiene in semi-public and public areas.
Time of Flight sensors
Time of Flight (ToF) sensors measure and interpret movements in three dimensions and over time. TECE is now using this advanced technology in toilet flush plates for the first time. The new sensor offers significantly greater precision in measuring distances compared to traditional infrared sensors and can differentiate between various movements in the room, as well as detecting hand and sitting positions. This allows flushing to less likely be triggered by in-animate object movements (e.g. toilet seat). When someone enters the detection range, the button areas (offering single or dual-flush options) illuminate. Flushing is activated when the user's hand comes within approximately two centimetres of the sensor. If the user forgets to flush, an automatic safety flush is triggered. This touch-free activation, combined with the safety flush feature, meets the hygiene standards in public toilets.
