Come in from the sun
Welcome to a new generation of tanning products. While the concept
of ‘sunless tanning’ lotions is not a new one, technology has finally caught
up. The Sunless Express™ Spray Spa is the culmination of countless hours of
research on methods of applying sunless tanning lotion.
Sunless tanning products work by creating a response with the top two layers
of your skin. Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, reacts naturally with the protein in
your skin. A brown “tan” forms within approximately two to three hours after
your session, and continues to darken for up to 24 hours. The result is a substantive tan. It is absolutely water-resistant and diminishes only as the dead cells
of the skin flake off - usually one to two weeks.
DHA is a common chemical used in multiple ways throughout our normal
everyday lives. For example, DHA is often used as an additive in food and
cosmetics.
Please take the time to read through this guide to familiarize yourself with the
concept of sunless tanning and the proper usage of your new equipment.
Thank you, and Welcome once again!

Operation
Operation of the sunless tanning booth
requires just two buttons. The first is the
“Start/Stop” button on the Sunless
Express™ Remote Control (SERC) supplied with the booth (see illustration 1).
Pressing this button sends a signal to the
booth to allow a single session to run.
After the session is complete the display
on the SERC will indicate a “..” meaning
the room needs to be sanitized. After
cleaning the unit press the up (▲) button
on the SERC until a “0” appears.
Illustration 1 (SERC)
Once the “Start/Stop” button (on the SERC)
is pressed the booth receives the signal
and is ready for the session. Enter the
booth, close the door and an automated
voice will explain the sunless tanning
experience. Press the green “Start” button
on the wall to begin (see illustration 2).
The SERC is also capable of telling the
booth to run two back-to-back sessions
without resetting. To do this, press the up
(▲) button until the display shows a “4”
(signifying the Spray Manifold will make
four passes over your body).

Remote Connections
T-Max® Products
Your Sunless Express™ remote control
unit incorporates advanced circuitry
allowing it to connect and communicate
with the popular T-Max® remote control
systems. The booth can be connected to
any T-Max Manager or 1A or 3A. Refer to
the appropriate section that follows.
T-Max® Manager Remote System
This system is ideal for multiple sunbed
installations, including the Sunless
Express™. Simply connect the RJ-22 modular cable(s), described in the T-Max®
Manager manual, into the remote port(s)
located on the back of the Sunless
Express™ Remote Control (SERC) and follow the instructions that came with your
remote system. If you have an older TMax® Manager that does not support auto
addressing, set the address of the SERC
manually as described in Setting the
address manually. You can place your
booth at any location in the series (see
illustration below).
T-Max® 1A and 3A Remote Systems
The T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer the
same control as the T-Max® Manager in
single unit installations. If you’re using a
1A, it must have a chip labelled “master”
installed on its circuit board.
After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or
3A’s, address to “0” (refer to your T-Max®
user’s guide) and the SERC’s address to
“1”, simply connect the RJ-22 modular cables, described in the T-Max®
user’s guide, directly into
either port located on the
back of the SERC and
either port on the back
of the T-Max® 1A or 3A.
Setting the address manually
Before connecting the SERC to the TMax® Manager or T-Max® 1A or 3A, the
address must first be set. Set the address
manually as described below.
1. Remove power from the T-Max®
Manager or 1A or 3A.
2. Plug in the SERC. It should show “9.9”
on the display and sound an alarm. If
it just shows “0” go to step 4.
13
24389-01A
3. Press and release the Start/Stop button.
The display will flash “8.8” and the
alarm will stop. Press the Up button
until the display stops flashing and
shows a “0”.
Section - subheading
4. Press and hold the Start/Stop and Up
buttons simultaneously until a “.1”
appears. This may take about 5-6 seconds. Release the buttons.
5. Press the Start/Stop button. A flashing
number will appear. This is the address
that the SERC is set to.
6. Press the Up or Down button until the
desired address is displayed.
Note: When setting the addresses,
remember these three rules;
• Each tanning unit in the salon
(including the SERC) needs a unique
address.
• Do not set the SERC to “00”.
• If the period is flashing, you are over
address 100.
7. Once the desired address is displayed,
press and release the Start/Stop button.
A steady “.1” will be displayed.

8. Press and hold both the Up and Down
buttons until a “0” is displayed.
Operation with remote
When connected to a T-Max® system the
unit operates differently than explained in
Operation. The session is activated from
the Manager, 1A or 3A. To activate a single session send a 2 from the remote (refer
to your T-Max® manual). For a double
session, send a four (4). This will activate
the unit and the session starts when the
tanner enters the booth and presses the
Start button inside the unit. The use of two
