All covers will be fastened to a base plate by one chrome plated tamper-proof bolt.
The cover shall be composed of:
ABS – White polymer with SanaForTM antimicrobial additive.
SB – Brushed Stainless Steel.
Base plate shall be equipped with (3) 7/8" (22 mm) diameter knockouts, one of which
is located on the right side and suitable for use with surface conduit.
All internal parts shall be coated according to Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc.
requirements.
Entire mechanism shall be internally grounded, per UL requirements.
Motor shall be a thermally protected, series commutated, through-flow discharge
vacuum motor/blower (~½ hp / high-30,000 rpm, low-20,000 rpm) which provides
air velocity of up to 16,000 LFM (linear feet per minute) at the air outlet. Includes a
washable metal mesh filter for more reliable performance.
Heating element (550 W) is constructed of Nichrome wire and mounted inside the
blower housing behind air baffle, thereby being vandal resistant. It shall be protected by
an automatic resetting thermostat, which shall open whenever air flow is cut off and
shall close when flow of air is resumed. It shall produce an air temperature of up to
141°F (61°C) at a 72°F (22°C) ambient room temperature at the outlet and 101°F (38°C)
at the hands (4 inches [102 mm] below air outlet).
Control assembly is activated by an infrared optical sensor located next to the air outlet.
The dryer shall operate as long as hands are under the air outlet. Control includes a
speed and sound control mechanism, adjustable heat control with High, Medium, Low
and Off settings and a filter sensor which is activated should the filter become clogged.
There is a 35-second lockout feature if hands are not removed. Sensor equipped with
externally visible Red LED light that can flash error codes to assist in troubleshooting.
