Hairdryer Range 1
1. INTRODUCTION
The Leisure Controls International range of hairdryers is designed to give maximum reliability so
installation and after care instructions must be carefully followed to give optimum service. The modular
construction allows for easy servicing or replacement of parts when required. The meters comply with the
latest EMC and Low Voltage directives, meeting EN60730-1:92, EN50082-1:92, EN55014:93, and
EN60555-2:87.
2. INSTALLATION
All hairdryers, coin-operated or push-button models, are designed for wall mounting. Care should be taken
not to mount directly against a heat source or within three metres (ten feet) of running water. It is
recommended that the minimum height above the floor is 1.2 metres (four feet). Current IET wiring
regulations (BS 7671:2018) must be adhered to. It is recommended that each installation should be protected
by a suitable residual current breaker (RCB). A 30mA trip device will provide protection to within Zone 2.
2a. Model A, Model B and Model C (Coin-Operated)
i. Lay the meter on its back and unlock and remove the cash box.
ii. See Figure 1. Using a No. 1, 9 inch pozidrive screwdriver remove
the recessed screw and remove the front panel by pulling towards
base as far as possible, lifting bottom edge slightly outwards and
then lifting panel upwards. IMPORTANT. It is essential that
panel recess is clear of case lip before attempting to lift panel out.
Rotate front panel and withdraw 5-way connector from printed
circuit board, thus separating front panel from the meter case. Set
programming switch (Section 3) and place panel in a safe place.
iii. Position the case on the wall and mark the top centre fixing
position. Drill and plug the wall and fit with No. 8 or 10 screw of
not less than 25mm (1”). Hang case on screw and tighten. Use a
spirit level to ensure the case is perfectly level.
If the case is not level the coin mechanism may malfunction.
Mark the bottom two screw positions, remove case and drill and
plug the holes.
iv. Remove the cable knockouts as required and fix to the wall.
v. Using a fused double pole switch for the mains input, wire
the unit as shown in Figure 2 using cable of cross sectional area
not less than 2.5mm2and fuse as appropriate up to a maximum of
10A. The use of 20mm conduit is recommended (use male thread adaptor with lock-ring e.g. Egatube
type EMA/2). Alternatively fit a 20mm nylon compression cable gland to provide strain relief.
WARNING!
THE EARTH TERMINAL MUST BE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO A KNOWN EARTH
ENSURE EARTH WIRE IS ADEQUATELY TRAPPED BY THE TAGS OF THE CLAMPING WASHERS
vi. Refit front panel, making sure the 5-way connector is the correct way round. There is a polarising back
wall to ensure correct polarity. Forcing the connector the incorrect way round will cause
irreparable damage. Replace the recessed screw, making sure the screw head is flush with the front
panel but not over tightened.
vii. Insert cash box and lock. MAKE A NOTE OF THE KEY NUMBER AND PUT IN A SAFE PLACE.
viii. Switch on and test for correct operation.
NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE FRONT PANEL UNSECURED OR WITH THE CASE UNEARTHED.
