6. SAFEGUARDS
1. Always place breaker on OFF position before installing, disconnecting or otherwise
servicing the hand dryer. Failure to disconnect the power source before installation or
servicing can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
2. Failure to properly ground the unit could result in serious injury and/or death from
severe electrical shock. The hand dryer must be properly grounded for safe operation.
An identified ground connection point is supplied on the hand dryer's wall plate. A
GFCI protection is recommended protection in wet or damp locations or as required by
local construction codes.
3. Risk of fire, personal injury or property damage is possible if local codes, or safety
recommendations are not followed.
4. Installation and servicing should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians.
5. Use only the electrical power (voltage & frequency) specified for the dryer being
installed. See Table 1 Electrical Specifications.
6. Connect the hand dryer to the nearest distribution panel. The fixed wiring must
include a disconnection means complying with local wiring codes. To limit voltage
drops, and insure efficient operation, use No.12 AWG wire or larger as required by
local electrical codes.
7. Always connect to a branch circuit breaker or fuse protection with an electrical rating
greater than the model’s rated amperage shown in Table 1 – Electrical Specifications, in
accordance with the NEC (National Electrical Code) and / or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code).
8. To avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the terminal cut-out, the hand dryer must
not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer or to a circuit that is
regularly switched on / off. Each dryer must have it's own dedicated circuit. Move all field
wiring away from moving parts within the dryer.
9. The NEC (National Electrical Code) and / or CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) require
installation fittings with smooth rounded surfaces for protection of power supply cables.
10. Store and dispose of solvent-based materials, and materials used with solvent-based
materials, in accordance with requirements of local authorities having jurisdiction.
Warning: Mercury HAZARD. Caution must be taken not to break GERMICIDAL UVC bulbs
during installation and since these bulbs contain a small amount of mercury which can
cause injury if inhaled or ingested. For more information on clean up and disposal, see
www.lamprecycle.org.
DANGER!
Failure to properly ground this unit could result in severe electrical shock and / or death.
This dryer should be properly grounded for safe operation. An identified ground
connection point is supplied with dryer wall plate.
Ultraviolet (UVC) radiation hazard. Over exposure will cause significant eye damage and
may cause skin damage. Do not look into UV light source.
7 . INSTALLATION
1. Go to the circuit panel to place breaker or fuse in the OFF position, never attempt
to install, clean interior or service unit without first shutting off its power source.
2. Use Table 2 to determine recommended mounting height. Select a mounting location for
the dryer where no reflection surfaces or objects (such as a wash basin) are directly under
the optical sensor. The optical sensor is visible from the bottom of the dryer.
