Planning
We suggest that one hand dryer be installed for every two hand basins.
Ensure that no reective object (such as hand basin) is located directly under
infrared sensor eye; the minimum distance is 460mm.
Installation Instructions
1. Disconnect power source.
2. Use the security hex key supplied and turn the cover mounting screws
clockwise to remove the cover from the dryer.
3. Place the hand dryer base on the wall at the required location using
recommended mounting heights. With the base located, use it as a
template to mark locations of the four mounting bolt holes on the wall.
4. Fasten the base to the wall, using suitable xings for the type of wall.
5. All automatic dryers must have their own dedicated 10 amp circuit.
6. Connect the dryer to the nearest suitable distribution panel.
7. Replace cover, turn screws counter-clockwise making certain not to over
tighten.
In some installation environments,
sensing distance may need to be
adjusted lower due to environmental
conditions to eliminate unattended
activation or ghosting. Installation
close to a reective surface, exposure
to natural sunlight or other nearby IR
activated devices can be conditions
causing unattended activation. Lowering
the IR sensor’s sensing range /
sensitivity can resolve this. To adjust the
IR sensing range, remove the cover and
locate the blue trimmer pot on the control
board as shown.
CAUTION: These instructions involve
adjusting the IR sensor trimmer POT
with the power connected (live) to the
hand dryer. The trimmer POT is located
in a low voltage area of the electronic
controls, but there is hazardous live
voltage in other areas of the dryer when
the cover is removed. Be careful making
adjustments, if you are not experienced
making this kind of “live” adjustment, do
not attempt to make the adjustment.
Adjusting IR Sensor Distance
Please see page 6 for instructions.

Instructions for IR Sensor adjustment:
To establish the initial sensing distance setting, place palm at and horizontal
well below the hand dryer; starting at a point where the dryer will not activate.
Slowly move upward towards the dryer until the dryer activates and will sustain
operation. Note the approximate distance between your palm and the bottom of
the hand dryer. Adjusting the screw clockwise will increase the sensing distance
/ sensitivity; adjusting the screw counter-clockwise will reduce sensing distance /
sensitivity. The trimmer POT has a high resolution adjustment. 20 to 40 degrees
adjustment of the screw (from 3 o’clock position to 1 o’clock position) may be
all that is needed for adequate adjustment. To eliminate unattended activation
/ghosting, adjust the trimmer POT screw counter-clockwise 20 - 40 degrees
and recheck sensing distance and repeat, as necessary, to reduce the sensing
distance to a comfortable activation point that resolves the issue.
Maintenance Instructions
The following maintenance should be carried out six monthly in high tra󰀩c areas
and twelve monthly in normal tra󰀩c areas. Your warranty could become void if
the above is not performed at the specic intervals.
1. Isolate the dryer either by turning o󰀨 the switch, normally located above the
dryer or by unplugging the unit if tted with a power cord.
2. Use the security hex key supplied and turn the cover screw clockwise until
the bottom of the cover can be lifted out from the base plate and then push to
unlatch from the top of base plate.
3. The motor inlet lter should be replaced if it appears clogged. You can reorder
from our website www.splwashrooms.co.nz - search for consumables.
4. Brush any lint away with a soft brush.
5. To replace cover, replace cover squarely over base and push at to wall.
Screw cover mounting screws counter-clockwise and tighten until snug. Do
not overtighten.
6. Liven dryer and test operation.
