Installation: Surface-mount the unit using four 1/4-inch (6 mm) washers and screws or bolts (not supplied) through the back-plate holes, with hardware suitable for the wall. Electrical service is connected before the cover is installed; recessed pin-hex cover screws are supplied. The manufacturer’s installation guidance specifies the sensor-lens height for reach conditions: 48 inches maximum above finished floor (AFF) for unobstructed reach, or 44 inches maximum AFF when the stated forward-reach obstruction conditions apply. For general utility, the guidance gives 44–54 inches AFF. These are manufacturer installation instructions, not a blanket compliance determination.
The manufacturer lists a five-year warranty from invoice date and directs users to its Product Care & Maintenance Bulletin for cleaning instructions.
