Come in from the sunWelcome to a new generation of tanning products. While the concept
of ‘sunless tanning’ lotions is not a new one, technology has finally caughtup. 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 layersof your skin. Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, reacts naturally with the protein inyour skin. A brown “tan” forms within approximately two to three hours afteryour session, and continues to darken for up to 24 hours. The result is a sub-stantive tan. It is absolutely water-resistant and diminishes only as the dead cellsof the skin flake off - usually one to two weeks.
DHA is a common chemical used in multiple ways throughout our normaleveryday lives. For example, DHA is often used as an additive in food andcosmetics.
Please take the time to read through this guide to familiarize yourself with theconcept of sunless tanning and the proper usage of your new equipment.
Thank you, and Welcome once again!

Operation - the tanning session
Before you tanFor best results, exfoliate before using thetanning unit.
Do not use lotion on your body beforeyou tan. This may act as a barrier and pre-vent some areas from getting tan.
Remove any makeup from face.
Remove contacts.
Remove all jewelry.
Women: Place the shower cap right at thehairline. This will prevent any unneces-sary tan lines on your forehead.
Men: If you have a receding hair-line orbalding - to prevent tan-line, do not wearthe shower cap unless your hair is natu-rally very light or is chemically lightened.
Apply neutralizing lotion to hands andtoes with special attention to cuticle cov-erage. Be careful not to apply neutraliz-ing lotion to areas you want tan as whitespots will result. You may remove anymisplaced blocker with a moisture wipe.
During the tanning sessionUpon closing the door you will hear thefollowing instructions...
“Welcome to the Sunless Express™spray spa! For best results, follow theinstructions exactly. Please place yourfeet in the boxes and stand as close tothe door as possible. Point your toestoward the sides. Place your armsabove your head and bend elbowsslightly. Palms should be facing for-ward. Raise your chin upward.

Gantry Safety Mechanism - If there is anypressure placed on the spray manifold dur-ing operation, the unit will stop and thesession will end. Check the mechanism forany obstructions before using again.
After the tanAfter your session, you will notice a lightmist on your body. First, wipe your handswith the moisture wipes. Next, gentlywipe the rest of your body, as if gettingout of the shower. When you are com-pletely dry, wipe your hands again withthe moisture wipes in case your handscame in contact with the solution whiledrying off. Be sure you are completely drybefore getting dressed. This will eliminatemost of the bronzer residue on the insideof your clothing.
You will not notice a lot of immediatecolor from your session. The tan will beginto develop within 2 to 3 hours after thesession and continue to darken for up to24 hours. Wait 4-6 hours before showeringor engaging in activities which encourageperspiration as this will wash the bronzeroff your body before it has enough time toaffect the color of your skin.
“You may open your eyes and breathefreely. Please turn around and face thedoor. Please place your feet in theboxes and stand as close to the dooras possible. Point your toes toward thesides.

T-Max® ProductsYour Sunless Express™ remote controlunit incorporates advanced circuitryallowing it to connect and communicatewith the popular T-Max® remote controlsystems. The booth can be connected toany T-Max Manager or 1A or 3A. Refer tothe appropriate section that follows.
T-Max® Manager Remote System This system is ideal for multiple sunbedinstallations, including the SunlessExpress™. Simply connect the RJ-22 mod-ular cable(s), described in the T-Max®Manager manual, into the remote port(s)located on the back of the SunlessExpress™ Remote Control (SERC) and fol-low the instructions that came with yourremote system. If you have an older T-Max® Manager that does not support autoaddressing, set the address of the SERCmanually as described in Setting theaddress manually. You can place yourbooth at any location in the series (seeillustration below).
T-Max® 1A and 3A Remote SystemsThe T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer thesame control as the T-Max® Manager insingle unit installations. If you’re using a1A, it must have a chip labelled “master”installed on its circuit board.
After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or3A’s, address to “0” (refer to your T-Max®user’s guide) and the SERC’s address to
“1”, simply connect the RJ-22 modu-lar cables, described in the T-Max®
user’s guide, directly intoeither port located on theback of the SERC andeither port on the backof the T-Max® 1A or 3A.
Setting the address manuallyBefore connecting the SERC to the T-Max® Manager or T-Max® 1A or 3A, theaddress must first be set. Set the addressmanually 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. Ifit just shows “0” go to step 4.
3. Press and release the Start/Stop button.The display will flash “8.8” and thealarm will stop. Press the Up buttonuntil the display stops flashing andshows a “0”.

This will acti-vate the unit and the session starts whenthe tanner enters the booth and pressesthe Start button inside the unit. The use oftwo and four correspond to the number ofpasses the Spray Manifold will make overyour body during the session.
