NORTH OLMSTED, OH--(Marketwire - Apr 24, 2012) - MotionSense™ from Moen provides an intuitive, hands-free kitchen faucet experience that responds to users' simple hand movements to activate water flow, delighting consumers day after day.
- MotionSense helps the user to accomplish everyday tasks, like washing hands, cleaning dishes or preparing meals, with greater convenience
- Because users' needs are not always the same, there are three ways to turn on faucets with MotionSense:
- The Wave Sensor at the top of the faucet starts and stops the water flow with a simple hand movement above the faucet
- The Ready Sensor near the base of the faucet identifies when an object, like a cup or the user's hand, is placed beneath the spout, and runs water for as long as that item remains in-range of the sensor
- The handle on the side of the faucet offers familiar, manual operation, letting users adjust flow and temperature
- The Wave Sensor at the top of the faucet starts and stops the water flow with a simple hand movement above the faucet
- A special valve design fully supports manual and digital modes, meaning the hands-free feature works any time -- even when the handle is in the "off" position. It also means that the faucet will always function in manual mode -- even if it loses battery charge or power.
- Moen has made the installation process as streamlined as possible, with preassembled components and simple push-fit connections
- Hands-free technology reduces the spread of germs and diminishes the risk of cross contamination
- Saves water when using Ready Sensor by supplying water only when the user's hands or an object are within the sensing zone
- Powered by a battery pack that utilizes six standard AA batteries or by an optional AC power adapter
- An LED light provides visual feedback to the user, indicating when the faucet turns on or off; or using a unique light pattern to notify if the faucet should run low on battery power
- The Arbor® pulldown kitchen faucet is the first faucet to offer MotionSense
- Arbor offers transitional styling
- Available in Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and new Spot Resist™ Stainless finish

- Multi-function pulldown wand includes aerated spray, stream and a pause feature, which allows users to interrupt the water flow while moving the spout outside of the sink
