Abstract
The invention relates to a urinal system (10), a water consumer system having such a urinal system, and a method for operating a urinal system. A urinal controller (8) of the urinal system has a data processing system (9) and/or is connected to a data processing system (9) which is designed to retrieve and/or receive and computationally evaluate data captured by at least one HF motion sensor (5) provided on a urinal bowl (1) and/or a urinal outlet (4) of the urinal system, and to recognize one of the following malfunctions based on the evaluated data and/or to initiate an action in order to avoid one of the following malfunctions: that the urinal outlet is obstructed, and/or that there is a pressure fluctuation in a wastewater system connected to the urinal system, and/or that a fluid inlet (2) and/or an inlet valve (3) of the urinal system is malfunctioning, and/or that there is a failure of the HF motion sensor, and/or to recognize a predefined urinal usage situation and/or frequency of use on the basis of the evaluated data and, based on this, to adapt an opening time and/or an opening position and/or an opening frequency of the inlet valve to in a subsequent urinal flushing pro…
