Important Safety Advice

General

Description of hand dryer

The sole purpose of the hand dryer is to dry hands. The hands
are dried in a stream of warm air that flows out of the air outlet
grille. The hands can be rubbed together to accelerate drying.

The hand dryer has an infrared proximity switch. This switches
the unit on automatically when the hands are held beneath the
air outlet grille. If the hands are removed from underneath
the air outlet grille, the infrared proximity switch switches the
device off after a delay of approximately 3 seconds.

The hand dryer must be mounted in a closed room and must be
mounted on a vertical wall with the air outlet opening pointing
downwards. The unit is not suitable for free- standing
applications.

switch, use a suitable heat resisting cable (e.g. butyl rubber or
high temperature PVC insulated).

The supply circuit to the dryer must incorporate a suitably rated
double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least
3 mm, in all poles.

Before carrying out any further mounting work, disconnect the
relevant circuit from the mains supply.

Strip the power supply cable and guide it through the opening
in the back plate of the device or the screwed cable gland.

Screw the back plate of the unit to the wall.
Connect the electrical cable to the terminal. Note the terminal

labels.

Final assembly

outlet grille to be dried and stays on until the hands are
removed from the stream of hot air.

The unit runs on for approximately 3 seconds. If the unit is too
sensitive, ask a suitably qualified person to change the jumper
position on the electrical circuit board (there are two positions
for high and low sensitivity). Please refer to the separate
service information for details.
