Autofill Controls

Bathtub Filling

Start the automatic bathtub filling process by
pressing the “bathtub filling symbol” (4) to the left
of the thermostat (2). The green light (30) will be
lit and water will fill the bathtub.

Showering

Remove the shower handle (11) from the panel and
hold it over the bathtub away from the patient.

Press the “shower handle symbol” (9) to the right of
the thermostat. The green light (32) will illuminate
and water will spray from the shower handle.

The red “running water” light (31) to the right of
the thermometer indicates that the thermometer
shows the filling water temperature and can be
adjusted by turning the thermostat knob (2).

When the water level reaches the “waterline” inside
the bathtub, (about 53 gallons, 200 liters) the
bathtub filling will automatically stop and both the
green (30) and the red light (31) will switch off.

The light (33) automatically indicates that
the thermometer shows the still bathtub water
temperature.

More water can be added into the bathtub. When
pressing the “bathtub filling symbol” (4) once more,
the green light (30) will flash and water will be
added for approximately one minute.

This procedure can be repeated or stopped by
pressing the “bathtub filling symbol” (4).

WARNING: Always physically check water
temperature before and during bathing/showering
to ensure that the thermoscopic mixer (2) is
functioning.

The red “running water” light (31) to the right of
the thermometer indicates that the thermometer
shows the running shower water temperature and
can be adjusted by turning the thermostat knob.

Stop the water flow by pressing the “shower handle
symbol” (9) once. Both the green (32) and the red
(31) lights will switch off. The procedure can be
repeated.

The shower water flow is preset when installing the
bathtub. If other shower flows are required, set the
water flow by adjusting the black ball valve inside
the panel.

Whirlpool

To start the whirlpool system, press the whirlpool
symbol (20) and the green light (34) will be lit.
To stop the whirlpool system, press the whirlpool
symbol (20) and the green light (34) will switch off.

Important: Never start the whirlpool when the

Basic Operating Procedures

Use the following controls for filling tub and
showering patients. The Whirlpool and cleaning
system are described separately.

Controls

The 900 Bathing System control panel and bathtub
are made of fiberglass. It has a thermoscopic mixer
(2) for the bathtub filling and the patient shower.
The thermoscopic mixer regulates water valve
temperature for the bathtub fill and the patient
shower.

To calibrate the thermoscopic mixer, see enclosed
product manual.

In addition, there are shut-off valves for the tub fill
(4) and patient shower (9).

The thermometer (3) measures bathtub filling water
and patient shower temperature in C.

The temperature probe is located close to the
thermoscopic mixer (2) to provide an accurate
reading of water temperature as the bathtub fills.

By monitoring the thermometer, you can precisely
regulate water temperature with use of the
thermoscopic mixer (2) as the tub fills or when the
patient shower (11) is used.

Height of the tub is adjusted with the tub up/down
controls (1). The tub can be adjusted to any level
from 600 mm (24”) to 1000 mm (40”) above the
floor.

To lower the tub, press and hold the down button
(1). To raise the tub, press and hold the up button
(1).

When releasing the up or down buttons, the
bathtub stops in desired height position.

Shower System Operation

The patient shower includes a handle (11) located
on the right side on the panel, the thermoscopic
mixer (2) and a shut-off valve (9) on the front of
the control panel. The handle nozzle has a rubber
strainer which is easy to clean, just rub your thumb
over the strainer.

Using the Shower

1. Lift the shower handle (11) and hold it over the

tub, away from patient.

2. Turn valve (9) to “ON” position for patient

shower.

3. Set the thermoscopic mixer (2) to desired

temperature.

4. Physically test water temperature and adjust

thermoscopic mixer (2) to suit. Adjust water
flow with shutoff valve (9) located on front of
control panel.

5. Shower or rinse patient with shower handle.

6. After showering, turn valve (9) to “OFF”

position and return handle (11) to its bracket
(12).

The patient shower system is also useful for rinsing
residue and debris from tub when cleaning (see
cleaning system description).

Please note: Shower handle should not be held in
the bath water while bathing.

Whirlpool

The shower hose shall be used when flushing the
whirlpool system, see separate description.
