MECHANISM:

Motor

•

Instant starting, maintenance-free, brushless motor. 1/10

HP, 3200 RPM, with self lubricating bearings. Protected by
an automatic resetting circuit breaker. Our motor requires
no fuses, oiling or brush replacement - 100% mainte­nance-free. Has considerably more life and quieter opera­tion than competition using brush type motors.

Timer

•

Push button models use a heavy duty cam-operated timer.

Sealed for protection and has positive stop action. Turn on
with a light touch. Turns off automatically.

Automatic Sensor

•

Automatic models are activated by a 100% solid state

infrared sensor, which automatically turns dryer on and
off. Only runs, when hands are below nozzle, for a maxi­mum of 80 seconds. Sanitary and energy efficient. Has
over 10 times more life than competitor’s using mechani­cal relay switching.

Heating Element

•

Side mounted for safety and runs in black heat range for

longer life. Element is not accessible through nozzle and is
protected by an automatic resetting circuit breaker (ther­mostat). It produces an air temperature of 130-145˚F at
a 72˚F ambient room temperature.
