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 hand dryer’s wall base.
− 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 or 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 wire gauge 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 a dedicated 15 Amp circuit as required by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
− 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.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Consult local and general regulations before performing dryer installation. Ensure that the
electrical network is not overloaded.
1. Disconnect the power source.
2. Use the security hex key supplied to remove the cover mounting screws. Remove the cover.
3. Place the hand dryer base on the wall at desired location using Table 1 to determine the recommended
mounting height. When two or more dryers are installed, they should be placed no closer than 24” (60 cm)
from center to center. Mark the location of the four mounting bolt holes and the wire entry hole.
4. For recessed wiring, carry the supply wire to the dryer base plate knockout and attach with an acceptable
cable clamp. The dryer requires two conductors for power plus a separate ground wire.
5. For surface wiring, remove the knockout located at the bottom left corner of the cover. Pass the supply
wire according to local code, through the knockout and attach it securely to the bracket. The dryer requires
two conductors for power plus a separate ground wire.
6. Attach the mechanism firmly to the wall. For wood walls or wood studs, use No. 16 screws of proper length
to ensure 1” (25 mm) minimum stud penetration. For masonry walls use expansion bolts or anchors for
1/4” (6 mm) screws of proper length to ensure penetration 1/4” (6 mm) deeper than anchor. Shim if
necessary to ensure that the base plate is level and flat against the wall
