Product Information: Hand Dryer

The Hand Dryer is a unit that complies with UL standards and comes with a replacement component list. The product is designed for easy installation and comes with technical drawings to aid in mounting. The unit has electronic controls that allow for customization of the operational modes and sensitivity detection.

Technical Drawings
The unit has dimensions of 8 1/4″ (210mm) in height, 6 1/4″ (160mm) in width, and 4 1/2″ (114mm) in depth. The recommended mounting height varies depending on the user’s demographic, ranging from 35″ (90cm) for small children to 45″ (115cm) for men. The product can be mounted on masonry, hollow, or wood walls using the  recommended fasteners.

Installation
The Hand Dryer must be connected to a bypass circuit according to electrical and building codes in the area. It is recommended to turn off the power before connecting the unit and ensure that the power supply corresponds to that indicated on the nameplate. If the product is located in a wet location, it must be protected by a ground fault circuit breaker. Mechanical support is required when installing on gypsum walls.
