Sloan OPTIMA Series Instructions for use

Installation of the Sloan OPTIMA Series Electronic Hand Dryer makes
drying of hands totally “hands-free” providing the ultimate in sanitary
protection and automatic operation. There are no buttons to push. The
OPTIMA series electronic hand dryer uses fiber optic and adaptive
sensingtechnologytosensetheuser’spresenceandactivate.Whenthe
user’s presence is no longer detected, the hand dryer automatically
stops.
The OPTIMA series electronic hand dryer is designed for easy
installation and maintenance, quiet and efficient operation, and years of
dependable, trouble-free service.
The following instructions will serve as a guide when installing the
OPTIMA Series electronic hand dryer. As always, good safety practices
and care are recommended when installing your new hand dryer. If
further assistance is required, contact your nearest Sloan
Representative office.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing the Sloan OPTIMA Series Electronic Hand Dryer,
determine the location where the dryer will be installed. Read the
following paragraph entitled “Installation Precautions” and then refer to
Table 1 and Figure 1 for recommended mounting heights.
Installation Precautions
•Mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
•Mount dryer at least 24 inches (610 mm) away from basins.
•Mount dryer at least 20 inches (508 mm) away from corners.
•Mount multiple hand dryers a minimum of 20 inches (508 mm) apart,
center to center.
•Avoid installing hand dryers in narrow hallways and behind swinging
doors.

INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Mount Chassis to Wall (Figure 1)
String electrical wires through Chassis Assembly and secure Chassis
Assembly to wall using the recommended Fasteners listed in Table 2.
Step 2 — Electrical Hook-Up (Figures 2, 3 and 4)
Becertainthatpowerisdisconnectedatthemainpowersource.Connect
electrical wiring to the Hand Dryer as shown in the appropriate wiring
diagram in Figure 2.
WIRING DIAGRAM —Figure 2
Step 3 — Test Self-Calibration and Operation
Turn on electrical power. The red LED should illuminate for
approximatelythirty(30)seconds.ThegreenLEDshouldthenilluminate,
indicating that the self-calibration procedure has completed and the
Dryer is ready for use. Place hands in the sensor’s detection zone
(beneath the exhaustport oftheDryer). TheDryer shouldstartand emit
apowerful flowofwarmair.RemovehandsfrombeneaththeDryer.The
Dryer should stop.
Step 4 — Install Cover Assembly
Install Cover over Chassis Assembly.Use a 5/32" hex wrench tosecure
using four (4) Tamper-Resistant Cover Screws and Lock Washers.
Note: Do not overtighten fasteners.

SELF-ADAPTIVE SENSING
When thisHand Dryerpowers up,itautomaticallysetsitssensing range
depending on the environment in which it is installed. No mechanical
range adjustment is required.
The OPTIMA Series electronic hand dryer is factory set to operate at a
range of 4 to 11 inches (102 to 279 mm). This range should be
satisfactory for most installations.
OPERATION
The Sloan Electronic Hand Dryer operates by means of an optical
sensorydevice. Thesensorautomaticallyactivatestheunit whenhands
are placed in front of the sensor located at the exhaust port. A powerful
flowof warmairwilldryhandsinapproximately 30secondsand willshut
off automatically when hands are withdrawn, or after 60 seconds of
continuous operation.
1. The OPTIMA/EHD functions by means
of an electronic fiber optic photo-sensor
located at the exhaust port beneath the
Hand Dryer.
2. When hands are placed beneath the
exhaust port, the fiber optic
photo-sensor activates the Hand Dryer
which emits a powerful flow of warm air
to dry hands within 30 seconds.
3. When hands are withdrawn, the Hand
Dryer shuts off automatically. It is then
ready for the next user.

†Power Boards and Sensors are no longer available for EHD Hand Dryers
manufactured prior to June 1999. When servicing this older product, both the
Power Board and Sensor must be replaced using the Sensor/Power Board

WHEN SERVICING OLDER SLOAN EHD HANDDRYERS
Sloan Valve Company is dedicated to providing sensor operated
productsthat incorporatetoday’slatestelectronictechnologies.Tokeep
pacewith thesenewtechnologiesitisoftennecessarytomake changes
to our products. Current EHD Hand Dryer Power Boards and OPTIMA
Fiber Optic Sensors will operate in older Sloan EHDHand Dryersif the
following conditions are met:
•Hand dryers built between September 1995 and June 1999 used
Power Board Assemblies EHD-1004-A (120 VAC) and EHD-1005-A
(208/240 VAC) and OPTIMA Sensor Assembly EHD-1003-A. These
unitscanbeidentifiedbyaRangePotentiometerlocatedonthePower
Board.
•Hand dryers built before September 1995 used Power Boards
EHD-12-A (120 VAC) and EHD-65-A (208/240 VAC) and OPTIMA
Sensor EHD-234-A (EHD-13-A if built before 1991). These units can
be identified by a Range Potentiometer located on the OPTIMA
Sensor (NOT on the Power Board).
IF EITHER THE POWER BOARD OR THE OPTIMA SENSOR HAS
FAILED IN AN OLDER UNIT, BOTH COMPONENTS MUST BE
REPLACED.
Note: Hand Dryers built before 1991 included a flashing indicator light
visiblethroughawindowontheHandDryerCover.ReplacementCovers
no longer furnish the indicator light; therefore, disconnect and remove
the light if replacing the Cover or OPTIMA Sensor.
