What is capacitive technology?

A capacitive sensor detects materials with a different conductivity to air and has a variety of human interface applications, including the magically touch-free musical instrument, the theremin. In 2007, capacitance entered the mainstream by powering the multi-touch screen of Apple’s iPhone.

Because capacitance allows the detection of a field rather than a point of interaction, it can operate without a sensing oculus, eliminating the need for the separately-mounted senor bezel. Thus, the minimalist design of the Radius taps is further refined for better compatibility with the wall-mounted soap dispensers in the range. Its built-in responsiveness to proximity renders this tap more naturally adjustable.

The Radius Collection: designed for harmony

…with each other

All Radius taps, including the TSL.881 Capacitive Sensor Tap, were been designed in conjunction with the soap dispensers. Together, their lengths align with The Golden Ratio; a mathematically-defined relationship between two proportions for harmonious balance. Regardless of project aesthetics or sensor technology, Radius products will present a balanced composition at the hand-washing site.

Furthermore, the full range can be specified in five different finishes to make specifying a cohesive washroom a breeze. We offer coloured capacitive sensor taps in Black (BK), Brass, (BR), Copper (CP), Satin (CS), Bronze (BZ) or Chrome (C).The coloured finishes are achieved via Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). To specify your finish, please add the finish suffix to the main product code. For example, to order the TSL.882 IR Sensor Tap in Copper, the code would be TSL.882.CP.

Aerofoil-Closeup-TSL

…with the planet

The Radius Capacitive Sensor Tap has and adjustable flow rate to suit meet BREEAM and LEED thresholds for Water Consumption. The tap is supplied with a flow rate of 1.9L/min, with 1.3 L/min and 3.8L/min also available to ensure the right water flow for any situation.

Additionally, the PVD coloured finishes increase product durability and longevity by enmeshing the product surface with titanium ions. The PVD process achieves this coordinated aesthetic with less environmental impact than powder-coating or electro-plating.

…with humanity

This stylish, WRAS-approved tap delivers safe, clean water in an easy-to-install package. The intuitive sensor technology offers a simple, gestural interface and an uncluttered installation.

Beyond the pleasing minimalism of the tap on its own, The Radius Collection is designed with the holistic washroom in mind, as a series of beautiful touch-points for each stage of the user journey. This practical approach to the aesthetics of the space creates restrooms that leave people feeling respected and refreshed.
