Using wrench provided, remove two tamper-proof fasteners from sides
of dryer cover. Remove cover from dryer.

Step 2 — Attach Wall Plate to Wall

Attach wall plate to wall using the recommended fasteners shown in
Table 2. Install a fastener at each corner of the wall plate. In locations
where vandalism is a concern, install two additional mounting fasteners
at the locations shown in the rough-in on page 2. Remove control
assembly to access the right side mounting hole.

Step 3 — Connect Electrical Wiring

Connect a 110/120V dryer to a 15 Amp. branch circuit using at least
#12 GA copper wire. (Do not exceed a 20 Amp. branch circuit).
Connect a 220/240V dryer to no more than a 15 Amp. branch circuit
using at least a #14 GA copper wire. Attach lines to terminals as
indicated by the schematic inside dryer cover. Be sure that an
equipment ground wire is securely fastened to green ground screw on
base plate. For runs over 50 feet or for multiple installations, increase
the size of the wire used. Dryers located in shower rooms or other wet
locations should be installed with circuits protected by ground fault
interrupter(s) or as local codes require.

object or remount dryer. If this is not possible, adjust the range of the
sensor by turning the potentiometer on the control board clockwise to
decrease sensor range. Please contact the Sloan Installation Engineering

OPERATION

• When the Infrared Sensor detects hands beneath
the exhaust port, it activates the XLerator®Hand
Dryer. Water droplets are first blown from hands
with a strong controlled air blast. Residual
moisture is then evaporated with a warm stream
of air up to 135° F/57° C.

WIRING DIAGRAM — 110/120 and 220/240 VAC

• After hands are withdrawn from the Sensor’s
detection zone, or after a maximum of thirty-five
(35) seconds of continuous operation, the Hand
Dryer automatically stops. It is then ready for the
next user.
