Electronic washbasin faucet GEBERIT Type 185 with internal mixer, electronic power supply

Electronic washbasin faucet GEBERIT Type 185 with internal mixer and electronic power supply is a sensor-controlled tap designed for touchless operation at washbasins. The integrated internal mixer adjusts hot and cold water to the selected temperature while the electronic control manages flow duration and activation via an infrared sensor. The compact design accommodates installations in public or private washrooms where hygiene, water savings and automatic operation are required.

Advantages

This electronic washbasin faucet provides hygienic, hands-free activation that reduces cross-contamination and surface contact. The internal mixer simplifies installation by combining thermostatic mixing functionality within the tap body, avoiding separate mixing valves. Electronic power supply ensures stable sensor performance and reliable valve control for consistent water flow and temperature. Built-in settings allow controlled run times to limit water consumption and minimize waste.

Suitable for

• Public restrooms in offices, healthcare facilities and education institutions
• Commercial washrooms in restaurants, hotels and retail spaces
• Private bathrooms where contactless operation and water-saving are desired
• Accessible washbasin installations requiring hygienic touch-free fittings

How to use

Water is activated automatically when hands are placed within the sensor range; the integrated electronics open the valve for the preset run time. Temperature is pre-set or adjusted during commissioning by regulating the internal mixer to mix hot and cold supply lines to the desired outlet temperature. The faucet requires a suitable power connection for the electronic supply and correct plumbing connections for hot and cold water. Periodic cleaning of the sensor window and aerator is recommended to maintain reliable detection and flow performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use a stable power source as specified in the installation instructions and ensure supply lines deliver appropriate hot and cold temperatures. During installation, set the internal mixer and run-time parameters to match local hygiene and water-saving requirements. Regular maintenance, including checking filter screens and removing limescale from the outlet, helps maintain consistent sensor response and water flow.
