Handeman 12 and 24 volt vehicle wash units: operating instructions

Water temperature

If the vehicle engine is running, the water temperature will reach 43º C – the unit will then cut out. When the water temperature drops to 40º C, the unit will cut back in to heat the water again. The cycle will be repeated whilst the engine is running. NB: In freezing temperatures, the unit should be drained overnight and/or at weekends. This will prevent damage to your unit. Do not fill units above the inner baffle/water tank.

Mounting instructions

Using the template provided, the Handeman should be fitted into an area that allows clearance for filling, washing and bowl/waste removal.

LED fault indicator

All TEAL hand wash units are fitted with an LED fault indicator which remains on at ALL times (this draws 10Ma ). The indicator is located at the front of the unit. If the unit develops a fault there will be a series of flashes:

• Single flash = no water. Fill with clean water, remove the fuse and replace after 60 seconds, or cycle the vehicle ignition. The unit will then reset
• Double flash = PCB/thermistor issue Return to the manufacturer
• Triple flash = over voltage Check the wiring and battery voltage
• Quadruple flash = low vehicle battery Check the battery.

Cleaning instructions

Daily Empty the bowl into a foul water drain. Rinse the bowl with clean water. The bowl is removable on the Handeman.

Monthly Empty as above. Wipe all surfaces with a mild detergent. Flush waste bowl with mild detergent.

IMPORTANT TEAL recommends cleaning and sterilising the unit regularly with Milton or a similar product is to minimise any possible build-up of water borne bacteria such as Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas can create the environment required for other bacteria such as Legionella.

Installation Guide

12V installation details: Euro6 compliant vehicles: Smart Charging.

Your Teal sink will have 3 wires connected. • 12V + Red. To vehicle battery or auxiliary battery with an output of over 12.7 volts. • 12V - Black. To vehicle battery negative. • White signal wire (W.W.). This is to be connected to the ignition circuit. The most common connection is at the ignition fuse, though alternative connection points may be used. When the W.W. receives a positive signal, the sink has the ability to switch on. The unit will operate when 12.7 volts are sensed from the battery source and heat the water to 40º C. Thereafter, the thermostat will control the heating cycle. The unit will switch off when less than 12.1 volts are detected, thus preserving the battery’s integrity. Finally, when the W.W.’s signal is dropped, the unit cannot operate. This is a failsafe situation, indicating that the vehicles engine is switched off. Please note: ensure that this feed has no other outputs attached, such as lights or alarms. That will hold the signal high, thus negating the failsafe mode.

12V installation details: Non Euro6 Vehicles, without Smart Charging.

Your Teal sink will have 3 wires connected. • 12V + Red. To vehicle battery or auxiliary battery with an output of over 13.8 volts. • 12V - Black. To vehicle battery negative. • White Wire (W.W.). Connect to red wire. The unit will operate upon sensing a voltage above 13.8 volts. The vehicle’s alternator will be constantly in circuit during the vehicle’s active operation. When the vehicle’s voltage drops below 12.8 volts, (when the vehicle’s engine is switched off ), the Teal sink will cease operation.

12 volt auxiliary battery

For operation using an auxiliary leisure battery where the voltage output is at a static +/-12 volts. Non voltage sensing. This battery will be charged by a generator / battery charger or topped up by being connected to vehicle circuit. The correct Teal sink designation is N.V. All units with this designation will have 2 wires only. • 12V + Red. To positive terminal. • 12V - Black. To negative terminal. Once connected this unit will operate at the voltage it receives until this voltage drops below 11.5 volts. To control this unit the installing auto electrician must wire the positive feed (red) via a switch or relay

24 volt vehicles with 2 wire connection system

• Red wire to battery + using 4mm (minimum 30 amp rated wire) • Black wire to battery – or ground (chassis) • In-line fuse – must be fitted to the red + ve wire • Wiring should be kept as short a practically possible to prevent voltage drop/loss. Standard voltage sensing software will operate. Unit switches on at 25.6 volts and cuts out at 25.1 volts.

Providing effective hand hygiene hand hygiene for all commercial vehicle drivers. Handeman Original mobile sinks for motor vehicles are the perfect solution for those that need a hot water hand wash on the move.

Available in three versions (see below), it simply connects to the vehicle’s electricity supply, ensuring that hot water is always to hand. No plumbing is required. The Handeman for motor vehicles is supplied in a practical 2 tone grey colour.

Handeman 12V: 180W, 15A. Handeman 24V: 250W, 12 A.
Handeman 12V low wattage: 90W, 8A.

The Handeman for motor vehicles conforms to ECE Regulation 10 and EC Directive 72/245.

Vehicle Certification Agency

• Teal accreditation – E11*10R05/01*5528*02.
• Hand wash units for motor vehicles – Conformity of Production Compliance Statement.

12v and 24v Handeman Original full user manual »

All Handeman models retain all the dirty water in the bowl without the need for separate waste pipe or waste water storage container.

Small yet practical
The Handeman provides a minimum of ten 12 second hand washes per filling – enough for hard day’s work, providing hot water with fingertip tap operation. It has a unique jet spray that reaches every part of the hands and washing under running water means there’s no need to dip hands into dirty suds.

Handeman Original for motor vehicles Factsheet »

Built to last
Robustly constructed in hi-impact polyethylene and designed to stand up to the rough and tumble of on the road use.

Hot water hand washing benefits from an ideal water temperature of 38-43ºC.

Also available as a special order – the Handeman HM12LW low wattage unit comes fitted with a 90 watt heater.

The Handeman Original is robust enough to fit inside or outside the vehicle. Supplied with a complete fitting kit and full instructions together with the correct fuse and fuse holder. A 4mm (35amp) cable is needed to connect directly to the battery terminals.

Euro 6 compliant wiring and control

Teal vehicle units incorporate 3 wire technology. Standard battery positive – red wire, earth wire – black. The white wire is to be connected to the ignition control fuse.

Standard HM12

• When the vehicle is turned off, the battery state is quiescent at 12V.
• When switched on, the ignition control wire detects vehicle turned on. The voltage sensing software will turn the heater on when 12.6 volts are detected. Thereafter the heater will be monitored by the built in thermistor and control the water temperature at 38-43ºC. When the vehicle is switched off the unit will switch off having sensed the battery voltage has dropped to 12.3V and the ignition signal has been dropped.
• The battery will not be therefore be drained by the Handeman Original.

Standard HM24

• When the vehicle is turned off the battery state is quiescent at 24V.
• When switched on the ignition control wire detects vehicle turned on. The voltage sensing software will turn the heater on when 25.6 volts are detected. Thereafter the heater will be monitored by the built in thermistor and control the water temperature at 38-43ºC. When the vehicle is switched off the unit will switch off having sensed the battery voltage has dropped to 25.1V and the ignition signal has been dropped.
• The battery will not be therefore be drained by the Handeman Original.
