Abstract

L'invention concerne un capteur optique passif équipé d'un détecteur de lumière sensible à la lumière ambiante (d'une pièce) et pouvant commander, par exemple, le fonctionnement de robinets automatiques (10, 10A, 10B, 10C) ou de dispositifs de chasse d'eau automatiques (100, 100A). Les capteurs optiques passifs de l'invention transmettent des signaux à des régulateurs de débit, y compris des commandes électroniques (400) et des soupapes de réglage (38, 140), et ne consomment que très peu d'électricité pour détecter des usagers d'installations sanitaires, de sorte que la batterie dure de nombreuses années. Pour assurer le fonctionnement de robinets automatiques ou de dispositifs de chasse d'eau automatiques en fonction de la lumière ambiante, le régulateur exécute de nouveaux algorithmes (600, 900).
