American Standard PK00.BBU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the American Standard Selectronic battery back-up kit actually do during a power outage?
It keeps AC-powered American Standard Selectronic sensor products running when building power drops. The switch from line power to battery happens without delay and without a sensor reset, so the faucet keeps sensing and dispensing through the outage. Part number PK00.BBU.
2) Which battery comes with the PK00.BBU kit, and do I have to buy one separately?
The kit ships with a CR-P2 lithium battery, so nothing extra is needed to put it into service. The CR-P2 is rated for a 10-year shelf life, which is why these kits stock well for MRO shelves in facilities that only need them when power fails.
3) If the battery in the back-up kit dies, will the faucet run continuously and flood the sink?
No. Selectronic faucets using this kit are fail-safe: on loss of power or a dead battery the faucet shuts off, and no reset is required when power returns. For a property manager, that means a dead battery is a no-flow service call, not a water damage claim.
4) Will this work on a battery-powered Selectronic faucet, or only hardwired ones?
It is a back-up for AC-powered Selectronic products. A faucet already running on batteries has no line power to lose, so this kit is aimed at hardwired installs where an outage would otherwise take the fixture out of service.
5) Is this back-up kit for faucets or for flush valves?
The Selectronic back-up kit is catalogued for faucet application. If you are looking to keep a sensor flush valve alive through an outage, this is not the part for that job.
6) Why would a facility standardize on this kit across a restroom bank?
Sensor faucets on line power all fail together in an outage, which takes a whole restroom bank out of service at once. Fitting the PK00.BBU to each hardwired Selectronic faucet means each fixture rolls onto its own CR-P2 battery with no sensor reset, so handwashing keeps working through the outage. One kit per faucet is the ordering unit.
7) Does the finish option matter when ordering PK00.BBU?
No. The back-up kit is supplied with no finish, since it is a concealed sensor-side power component rather than exposed trim. There is one configuration to order: MPN PK00.BBU.
