What is Time-of-Flight (ToF) Technology?
Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology is premium distance-measuring technology that senses objects with unrivaled accuracy using infrared light pulses. While conventional infrared (IR) sensors detect back-reflected infrared radiation, ToF sensors determine the precise time for a light pulse to travel to an object and back, measuring accurate motion and distance in real-time. This provides quicker response times, lower false alarms, and greater freedom in varying light and environmental conditions.
In commercial toilet rooms, ToF technology optimizes touchless faucets and automated soap dispensers' efficiency, delivering error-free user experience, heightened hygiene, and significant water and soap savings.
Why ToF Technology surpasses Conventional IR Sensors
1. Accurate Detection & Instant Response Time
- Conventional IR sensors are vulnerable to light fluctuations, humidity, and reflective materials, resulting in false triggering or delayed response times.
- Fontanas ToF sensors overcome these problems by directly measuring the true travel time of light, with millisecond-grade response accuracy and very little delay (sub-30ms response time).
- This accuracy avoids water flow from being turned on unless absolutely required, avoiding spurious turn-ons and saving water.
2. Fewer False Activations & Greater Reliability
- Infrared sensors have previously been susceptible to spoofing through reflections, which cause false activations in high-glare environments (e.g., bathroom with glass or chrome molding).
- Fontanas ToF touchless faucets are designed to disregard ambient noise and will only activate if a user's hands are at the suggested distance.
- It eliminates water and soap dispensing errors, thus it is ideal for fast-paced commercial environments like airports, stadiums, and hospitals.
3. Adaptive Range Compensation & Clever Sensing
- Traditional IR sensors need to be hand-calibrated and continuously readjusted.
- Fontana ToF faucets enable auto-detect range detection and automatically adapt to different user hand postures.
- Adaptive sensing turns on water delivery at the best distance, enabling consumers to have hassle-free, stress-free experiences.
The Reasons Why Fontana Sweeps the Top of ToF Technology in Commercial Bathrooms
1. Higher-Engineering & High-End Sensor Insemination
Fontanas ToF technology is not an enhancement, but cutting-edge technology created specifically to commercial bathroom high standards. In contrast to sensor faucets suffering from wear-and-tear due to repeated misfires, Fontanas ToF-driven fixtures utilize top-of-the-line optics and processor chips to deliver:
✔ Fast response with high-speed signal processing
✔ Strong performance with changing environmental conditions
✔ Long life and low maintenance
2. AC/DC Flexibility with Dual Power and Battery Backup (Fontana Battery Box I76)
Faucets in commercial buildings must run continuously, and Fontana makes that happen by making all ToF-fitted faucets compatible with AC/DC. All of these models can be:
✔ Hardwired to a power source for constant use
✔ Powered through the Fontana Battery Box I76, which offers maximum operating hours
✔ Programmed to battery power in case of power outage
This ensures restroom functionality is never interrupted, and Fontanas ToF faucets are therefore perfect for government buildings, corporate offices, hospitals, and hotels.
3. Smooth Integration with Fontana Multifeed Soap Dispensing System
In order to further maximize efficiency in high-traffic restrooms, Fontanas ToF faucets integrate seamlessly with the Fontana Multifeed Soap Dispensing System, which:
✔ Centrally distributes soap to several dispensers, conserving maintenance and refill time
✔ Prevents wastage of soap by regulated dispensing algorithms
✔ Promotes users' hygiene through correct activation of the soap and water
4. Water Conservation & Environmentally Friendly Compliance
✔ Water-Saving Aerators & Flow Restriers – Fontanas ToF faucets come with low-flow aerator units that conserve up to 70% water and maintain them EPA WaterSense and LEED building code compliant.
✔ Programmable Shut-Off Time – In contrast to fixed-time IR faucets, ToF faucets feature programmable shut-off times, which can be programmed by facility managers to water flow into sustainability programs.
