pLanning instaLLation
It is necessary to plan the location of the control box, control
panel, and each lamp before drilling any holes. A possible
conguration of the Chromatherapy equipment is shown in
Figure 1.
First, consider the location requirements for the control panel and
lamp(s), see Figure 2. The control panel cannot be immersed
in the bath water. Therefore it must be positioned at least one
inch above the level of the overow drain. On the other hand,
the lamp(s) must be positioned a minimum of 4 inches below the
normal water line.

Caution: The panel and lamp(s) require modular cables from
behind. Make sure the proposed location of the panel and lamp(s)
will not cause cables to interfere with the bath plumbing
The control panel and each lamp must be mounted on a minimum
at surface space of the bath shell, see Table 1, Mounting Surface
Requirements.

Table 1. Mounting Surface Requiements
EQUIPMENT FLAT MOUNTING SURFACE
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Control panel 3 x 2 inches
Lamp (each) 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 inches
Next, consider the following cable lengths, starting with the control
box. See Table 2, Cable Lengths.
Table 2. Cable Lengths
CABLE LENGTH
------------------------------------------------------- Control box cable 32 inches
Control panel cable 72 inches (6 feet)
Chromatheraphy lamp 84 inches (7 feet)
The control box must be mounted on a stud beam or secure wall
within 32 inches of the GFCI power outlet. The outlet must be a
minimum of 4 inches above the oor. In addition it must be located
no further than the length that the modular control cable or any
lamp cable may extend.
Once the location of the control box has been determined, you
may determine the location of the control panel and the lamp(s),
and prepare to drill a hole for each item.

Control Panel
Before marking the inside of the bath shell, place masking tape
over the entre area of the proposed hole. The tape will help
prevent chipping of the acrylic.
Writing on the tape, use a pointed marker to indicate the outline of
the hole for the control panel, see Figure 3. The control panel is
2-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches and requires a minimum of 3 by 2 inch at
mounting surface. Carefully mark the center of the hole.
Also mark the 5/32 inch notch at the right side of the diameter,
and mark the center of the notch. It is critical to measure the hole
and notch precisely.
Chromatherapy Lamp
Use a marker to indicate on the inside of the bath shell where the
lamp(s) will be located
Caution: Before marking the inside of the bath shell, place
masking tape over the entire area of the proposed hole, to help
prevent chipping of the acrylic.
Use a marker to indicate the location of the Chromatheraphy
lamp(s). The lamp is 2 inch diamerter and requires a minimum
of 2-1/2 diameter at mounting surface. (Locate as many lamps
as are intended for installation.) Indicate a hole for 1-5/8 inch
diameter, see Figure 4.

mount the ControL Box
Mount the control box to a stud beam or secure wall using four
No. 10 screws, or four No. 20, 1/4 inch screws. The mounting
holes for the screws are shown in Figure 5.
note: The modular plugs are also shown in the gure. Position
the control box in the most advantageous way, considering the
length and direction of the modular cables.
Caution: The power cable must be connected to a dedicated
ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI). No other outlet is
acceptable to this equipment.
Attach the control box securely to the mounting location.
driLL the hoLes
After preparation of the bath shell for drilling the hole for the
control panel and each Chromatherapy lamp, proceed with drilling
the holes. This should be completed by a technican experienced
in drilling through a ne acrylic material.
The areas of the holes have been covered with masking tape and
carefully outlined to indicate the location and size of the holes.
The tape will help prevent chipping of the acrylic.
Drill Hole for the Control Panel
The control panel has been located a minimum of one inch
above the level of the overow drain. It has been marked for a
1-1/16 inch diameter with a 5/32 inch notch at the right center, see
Figure 3.
Caution: Drill the holes from the inside of the unit carefully
to prevent chipping or cracking of the acrylic shell. Use a drill
guide for best results and begin drilling at low speed until the
drill penetrates the acrylic layer, then use a high speed for the
remaining material.
1. First use a 5/32 inch drill bit to carefully drill the notch.
2. Use the 5/32 inch drill bit to drill a pilot hole for the
1-5/8 inch hole.
3. Use a 1-1/16 inch drill bit to complete the hole for the lamp.
4. Remove any and all burrs or roughness from the inside of
the hole.
