EQ Series User Guide Installation Instructions
For single supply and dual supply EQ Series faucets
Overview
Chicago Faucets EQ Series faucets feature two designs in two finishes with heavy-duty cast brass spouts and high-quality electronic components. The faucet is up and running in minutes
without the need for programming. Superior user detection means EQ turns on when user approaches and shuts off when user leaves. It also adjusts for optimal performance, saving water.
Faucets equipped with EQ Connect allow additional adjustments to meet specific
needs with a smart phone or tablet using the EQ Connect app for Android or iOS.
