  • Tri-state control for an electronic faucet
    Publication number: 20070138421
    Abstract: An electronic faucet includes a control that has at least three different modes of operation. The control has an auto or normal mode of operation where fluid flows for a predetermined amount of time when a sensor detects an object adjacent to the electronic faucet. The control has an “off” mode where system electronics are disabled such that fluid cannot flow, and the control has an “on” mode where fluid is constantly flowing. A mechanical or electronic selector is selectively actuated to place the control in one of the auto, off, or on modes.
