Safety Information

WARNING: This product is not for household use and must be installed by a qualified service person. Disconnect power at the service breaker before installing or servicing to avoid electrical shock or burns.

• Use 2.0 mm² (AWG No. 14) solid conductor for wiring.
• All units must be supplied with a 3-wire service.
• The ground wire must be connected to the dryer's backplate.
• Do not install the dryer directly above a basin if reflection might trigger the sensor.

Installation

1. Ensure the power supply breaker is switched off.
2. Place the mounting template against the wall at the desired height and mark the 4 mounting holes and wire service entry.
3. Loosen the middle screw and remove the unit from the plugin base plate.
4. Remove the two screws from the Wago connector on the base plate.
5. Run the power cable through the base plate, connect it to the Wago connector, and fasten the connector back to the plate.
6. Fix the base plate to the wall using 4 screws (1/4 x 1-3/4").

Operation

The dryer features no-touch operation. Simply place hands under the outlet to start the drying cycle. The unit will stop automatically once hands are removed.

Adjustments

To adjust settings, switch off the power, loosen the cover screws, and remove the cover.

• Air Speed: Use a small Phillips head screwdriver or flat blade probe to turn the VR shaft. Turn clockwise (CW) to increase power or counter-clockwise (CCW) to reduce power.
• Sensor Range: The standard setting is 6.69" (170 mm ± 20 mm). Turn clockwise to increase the sensing range or counter-clockwise to decrease it. Do not overturn the adjustment screw.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Periodic cleaning is recommended for optimum performance:

• Disconnect the electrical supply.
• Remove the cover.
• Clean all dust and lint from the interior.
• Wipe the cover with a damp cloth and mild cleaning solution. Do not use abrasives.
• Do not flush the unit with water.
• Replace the cover and do not over-tighten the screws.

Diagnostics and Remedies

If the dryer fails to operate, check the following:

• Dryer will not run: Ensure the breaker is operational. Check connections at the terminal block.
• Dryer cycles by itself: Check for obstructions on or in front of the IR sensor. Clean the sensor lens.
• Loud noise/no run: Verify input voltage. If the problem persists, the CBM, IR sensor, or VR component may need replacement.
• Low air pressure: Check for dust/lint buildup in intake vents.

Smart LED Indicator

The LED indicator displays the status of the hand dryer:

• WHITE: Hand dryer ready.
• GREEN: Hand dryer in use.
• RED: Replace HEPA filter.
• BLUE: Replace motor brushes.
