A lavatory system comprises a hand dryer; a blower motor in fluid
communication with
first and second outlet ports of the hand dryer for blowing air through the
outlet ports; and a
controller that activates the blower motor after an object is placed between
the outlet ports,
wherein the controller activates the blower motor after observance of a first
delay period if an
object to be dried is presented to a hand-receiving cavity at a front opening
point of entry and
activates the blower motor after observance of a second delay period if an
object to be dried is
presented to a hand-receiving cavity at a side opening point of entry, wherein
the second delay
period is longer than the first delay period. The lavatory system may avoid,
for example,
splashback onto a user by way of use of the different delay periods.
