FontanaPrismDry™ Gun Metal Gray Automatic Sensor Hand Dryer FAQ
Sensor Activation, HEPA Airflow Management; Gun Metal Gray Surface Protection
The FontanaPrismDry™ Gun Metal Gray automatic hand dryer combines a solid-brass wall-mounted body, infrared touchless activation, HEPA-filtered airflow, 95 m/s air velocity, a 70 dB operating level at two meters, and selectable brush or brushless motor configurations.
How should the infrared detection zone be tested after wall installation?
Complete sensor testing after the dryer, basin, mirror, dispensers, and nearby reflective surfaces are installed. Confirm that normal hand placement activates airflow immediately without false triggering from passing movement, countertop reflections, lighting changes, or objects outside the intended drying zone.
What installation conditions help maintain the specified 95 m/s air velocity?
Keep the motor intake, HEPA filter compartment, internal air path, and outlet nozzle free from obstruction. Restricted ventilation, a loaded filter, loose duct connections, or insufficient service clearance can reduce airflow velocity, increase drying time, and place additional load on the motor.
How should the HEPA filter be inspected during routine maintenance?
Disconnect electrical power before opening the service enclosure, then inspect the filter for dust loading, moisture contamination, deformation, or an incomplete perimeter seal. Replace the filter according to operating conditions rather than attempting aggressive washing that may damage its filtration media.
How should the Gun Metal Gray finish be cleaned without creating uneven polished areas?
Wipe the exposed brass housing with a soft damp microfiber cloth and dry it immediately. Use diluted pH-neutral soap only and avoid abrasive pads, metal polish, acidic descalers, bleach, ammonia, stiff brushes, and concentrated disinfectants that may alter the dark metallic finish.
