GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
! DANGER
• Failure to disconnect the power source before installation or servicing can result in serious injury or
death from electric shock.
− Always disconnect the power source before servicing or installing the hand dryer.
• Failure to properly ground this unit could result in severe electrical shock and/or death.
− This hand dryer must be properly grounded (Earthed) for safe operation. An identified ground
connection point is supplied on the chassis of the hand dryer.
− We recommend GFCI protection in wet or damp locations or as required by local code.
! WARNING
• Risk of fire, personal injury or property damage are possible if local codes, national codes, or safety
recommendations are not followed.
− Use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified for the model hand dryer being installed.
− Connect the hand dryer to the nearest suitable distribution panel.
− To limit a voltage drop, and ensure efficient operation, use No. 12 wire or larger as required by local or
National Electrical Code.
− Do not connect to a branch circuit with circuit breaker or fuse protection over 15 Amps.
− All automatic model hand dryers must have dedicated circuit.
− Route all field wiring away from moving parts within the hand dryer.
! CAUTION
• Improper mounting could result in personal injury or property damage.
− Follow the mounting recommendations in Table 1.
− On a stud wall, one side of the hand dryer should be mounted to an existing stud.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Consult local and national regulations before performing dryer installation. Ensure that the
electrical network is not overloaded. Do not connect to a branch circuit over 15 amps.
1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Use the security hex key supplied to turn the cover mounting screws clockwise to remove the cover from
the dryer.
3. Place the hand dryer base on the wall at the desired location using Table 1 to determine the recommended
mounting height. With the base so located, use it as a template to mark locations of the 4 mounting bolt
holes on the wall. Ensure that no reflective object (such as a hand basin) is located directly under infra‐red
sensor eye; the minimum distance is 18 inches (46 cm).
4. Fasten the base to the wall, using the type of bolts suggested in Table 2.
5. All automatic dryers must have their own dedicated 15 amp circuit.
6. Connect the dryer to the nearest suitable distribution panel.
7. Replace cover, turn screws counter‐clockwise making certain not to over‐tighten.
