Mounting on the Wall
Fix the hand dryer to the wall with the fixing kit provided using the enclosed template to mark out
where the holes should be drilled. It is recommended that you use the raw plugs and screws
provided in the fixing kit. The hand dryer should always be positioned with the air outlet facing
downwards.
3. Electrical Installation
Wiring should conform to the latest edition of the IET wiring regulations (BS7671
– 17
th
Edition) or
the appropriate standard in the country of installation. The ecoDRY 550 requires a 220-240V
50/60Hz supply and an external 3A fuse. An isolator switch should also be installed in the MAINS
input line to facilitate maintenance and cleaning of the dryer.
Safety
Safety first: Always isolate the dryer from the power supply before removing the cover.
When installed according to these instructions the ecoDRY range of hand dryers are completely
safe. The materials used do not constitute a hazard. All ABS parts are made from flame retardant
materials.

4. Operation
The hand dryer automatically starts up when it senses the hands approaching the air outlet
mechanism and stops when the hands move away. The unit has no heating element - air is heated
by the power of the motor which allows considerable energy savings compared to traditional hand
dryers. The first daily use of the product will therefore blow out seemingly cold air but from the
second drying cycle, the air temperature will warm up.
The device has a system that prevents vandalism
– for instance if the sensors are covered to try
and force continuous operation, the hand dryer will only work for 35 seconds and then automatically
stop and go into standby. To resume normal functionality, the cover blocking the sensors will have
to be removed and normal functionality will resume in 3-4 seconds.
