Sauna & Steam

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing to buy our Oceanic steam generator, please take the time to read these
instructions before you begin as they contain important information about the installation and
maintenance requirements.

“Oceanic” heavy duty steam generators are available in specications from 6kw to 12kw and are
equipped with a programmable thermostatic controller. The controller is set with the time and
day and allows you to program the generator to turn on and o automatically when you require,
the generator can also bet set to clean itself automatically. Once these settings have been saved
the machine can be left to work on it’s own. The machine still must be checked on a regular basis
for safety.
It is also possible to have the generator working o a push button which you place outside of the
steam room, when customers push the button it illuminates and they get 30 minutes of steam.
The machine can also just work on a count down timer for say the next 90 minutes.
Our display tells you everything that the generator is doing, if it takes in water, heats, reached
temperature, draining, descaling, light on, fan on, timer set.
You can also Lock the keys so other users can’t play with the settings. light of the steam room, the
automatic drain valve, key-lock, alter the temperature display between Centigrade and Fahrenheit;
as well as displaying the steam generator‘s status by the 8 LED’s on the panel, heating, water inlet,
temperature, drain status etc. note also that one “OC-D” controller can control multiple “Oceanic”
steam generators.
Every “Oceanic” steam generator is thoroughly tested before leaving the factory so there may be
the remains of water inside the boiler.

2. Important Notes

• Read the manual before installation and operation.

• This Equipment must be installed by competent person.

• This equipment must be connected to an all pole isolator

• Disconnect the power supply before exposing electrical connections.

• Conrm the correct voltage to your steam generator 1 or 3 phase.

• For hard water areas please use a water softener.

• Water supply must have maximum of 1 bar pressure, we recommend the use of a pressure
reducing valve if necessary

3. Safety Precautions

• Elderly persons, pregnant women, or these suering heart disease, high blood pressure,
diabetes or not in good health are advised to seek medical opinion before using a steam room.

• Do not smoke in the steam room.

• Avoid using the steam room immediately after strenuous exercise.

• Do not use the steam room when under the inuence of alcohol.

7. Installation

• Isolate the power supply before installation

• Conrm the model you have selected is suitable for your steam room, please refer to chart
below

• Mount the steam inlet nozzle approximately 300mm up from the oor and it should be at least
200mm from person’s body.

• If the steam generator is installed in an inaccessible place ensure that both the electrical
power and water supply can be isolated in an emergency.

• To use the steam generator in single phase the L1 L2 and L3 must be linked together with the
copper bridges that are supplied. See circuit diagram on page 9.

• The minimum water inlet pressure is 0.25 bar (2.5 Mpascals) and the maximum is 2 bar (20
Mpascals), for pressures in excess of this use a reducer before the valve as shown in diagrams
on page 6 and 7.

• The steam pipe from steam generator to steam room should be kept to a minimum, pipes
longer than 3 meters should be insulated to prevent heat loss. Steam pipes will be hot during
use and must be protected against accidental contact. Steam entering the steam room will
be scalding hot; take care to position the inlet nozzle away from where users will sit and/or
provide adequate guarding, post a notice to caution users.

• Keep the number of right angle bends to a minimum and ensure that the run does not create
a trap into which condensate would gather and cause a blockage I.e. the pipe must not go
down and then up.

• There must be no valve or other blockage in the steam pipe

• The steam pipe should be metal of other material that can endure 150°C temperature, copper
pipe is recommended.

• It is not recommended to install the steam generator outdoors or where it might be aected
by frost. Allow for a minimum space of 0.5 cubic meters to install the generator.

• Steam generator should be level side-to-side and front to back and should be installed so that
the arrows on the case point up.

• Do not install the steam generator in close proximity to hazardous substances.

7.1. Generator Size
The table opposite should be referred to for guidance only.
Please note that the size of generator required to heat a
particular size of steam room will vary according to a number
of factors including the type of material used for construction,
the height of the steam room and the ambient temperature.

For lightweight materials such as plastics and laminates 1 KW will
heat up to 1 cubic meter of air for dense materials such as stones
and ceramics which will conduct the heat away more rapidly allow
for up to 2KW per cubic meter of air. Hot air rises so restricting
the height to around 2 meters will ensure the user is sitting in the
steam for higher ceilings you may need to increase the power
requirement.

7.2. Steam Generator Location

The steam generator should be installed in dry well ventilated place in close proximity to the steam room. It
can be placed on the oor or hung on wall.
To hang the generator on a wall drill 3 holes 8mm in diameter in accordance with the table below. Fix the top
2 screws in place rst then hang the generator by the 2 keyhole shaped holes in the back plate. Then with the
front cover removed x the 3rd screw to secure the unit in place.

465mm

The steam generator can be installed anywhere that is dry and has an airow.
Example locations:

• Plant Room

• Cupboard in an adjacent room

• In the loft

• Up to 1.5m beneath the unit in a basement

Important notes:

• The steam pipe should be insulated and not travel further than 10 metres

• Do not reduce size of steam pipe at any point

• the steam pipe must not go down and then up, as this will create a trap and damage the
steam generator.

7.3. Water and Steam Connections

i. The water supply pipe and steam pipe should comply with local standards
ii. Connect the water inlet valve of the generator to the mains water supply using a exible

hose with 1/2 inch ttings.

iii. Steam outlet (1/2 inch or 3/4 inch) use the same dimension copper pipe to connect it, if the

steam pipe is longer than 5 meter it should be insulated. During use the steam pipe will
be very hot and must be protected against accidental contact. Note that according to the
location it may be necessary to attach an additional length of pipe to the pressure relief valve
in order to divert the steam ow to a safe direction should the valve operate.

iv. Connect the drain outlet to a suitable drain via a copper pipe with the appropriate ttings.

7.4. Installation for controller and temperature probe.

OC-D controller is waterproof and can be installed inside or outside the steam room according
to customer preference.
i. For a better connection and to eliminate any future connection problems spray connection

uid or aerosol oil spray on the pins of the PS/2 cable(5pin cable) before plugging into the
circuit board.

ii. Ideally the control panel should be installed at a height of approximately 1200mm for ease of

use.

iii. Installation method: Open the front cover of steam generator. Pin the control cable (6 cores)

and temperature sensor cable (2 cores) to the relevant ports.

iv. Control panel installation: pin one end to circuit board ports in steam generator connect the

other end to the controller’s cable.

v. Temperature probe installation: the temperature probe is installed inside the steam room at

approximately 1.2 to 1.5 meters high and away from the steam outlet. Use a 4mm screw x it
in place and then connect to the wire from the controller.

vi. Fix protective cover (supplied) over the temperature

7.5. Installations for power supply and control cable

Conrm the correct voltage of power supply and wires.

Remove the knock out for the power cable entry and use a rubber grommet to protect the cable,
connect to the conductors to the correct terminals – for single phase power supply use the copper
bridge connectors, for 3 phase supply remove them. (Extra bridges can be found it provided)
Remove the knock out for the control cable entry and use a rubber grommet to protect the cable,
connect the cable to the relevant port on circuit board.

Ensure the power supply wire and control cable remain separated to prevent magnetic eld of
power supply wire from disturbing control cable signal.

7.6. Installing a light

There is a 230v power supply inside the steam generator labelled “Light”. This is rated to 100w
Max. The button on the keypad will turn this power supply o and on. This power supply is
protected by a fuse on the main circuit board but you can add your own fused spur for extra
protection if you prefer.

7.7. Installing a Fan

Same as above for a light.

7.8. Connecting to descaler

i. OCD Generator is able to run automatically descale cycle by pumping descaling solution

directly into the tank. This can be set to occur at regular intervals using the contoller as
described on page 20.

ii. The pump supplied should be connected via silicon hose to the generator and the container

of descaling solution.

iii. The diagram on pages 6 and 7 show how the descaling solution should be connected via the

pump. Ensure the the ends of the hose are held in place with cable ties.

iv. Both descaling crystals and 120 litre container can be purchased from Oceanic-Saunas.co.uk

8. Steam on Demand Function

Commercial operators may wish to take advantage of the steam on demand function which
will allow customers to press the steam on demand button located inside or outside the steam
room after which the generator will create steam for 30 minutes then return to an idle state until
activated again. This function reduces running costs and frequency of maintenance.
See instructions on page 19 for how to set up the function on the OCD Controller.

9.6. Auto Descale

i. Set the machine to automatically descale itself once per week. Once set the machine will

descale itself at the same time every week.

ii. The descaling solution will still need to be topped up, our 120 litre drums will do about

10 descales before relling with acid. Mix 5kgs of acid for the whole 120 litres of acid or
around 40-50gs of acid per litre.

iii. For some operators is may not be neccessary for you to be descaling the generator every

week as you may not be in a hard water area or you may only be operating the machine
for a few hours per day. In this case we advise not to have the machine set up for a regular
descale and to only turn the descaling cycle on when you need it. You must remember
though that once the cycle has been completed you must turn the Tick to a X to turn the
weekly descale o.

Push

To setup
descaling push

to enter

iv. The default is Sunday between midnight 00:00 and 8:00 in

the morning.
v. To activate descale change the X to a Tick.
vi. You can also adjust the day and time that the descale will

operate. We advise a minimum of 4 hours.
vii. Note the screen must be turned o for the descale cycle to

run.

9.7. Drain

i. You won’t ever really need to drain the machine as it automatically drains itself. While steaming

the generator will drain out the water so that there is never a concentrated solution of limescale
in the tank. It will also completely drain and ush itself after it has been turned o. (not isolated)

ii. To drain the machine you rst need the screen to be o, so if it is already on push the On/o

button to turn it o. Now push the Drain button, scree will illuminate and indicate the drain
symbol as shown below on the right.

11. Maintenance

The single biggest problem with steam generation is the build up of scale resulting from
dissolved solids within the water. Scaling can cause the elements to fail, the water level sensors
not to function, premature failure of the O-rings resulting in leaks from around the elements. The
extent of the problem will vary according to the degree of hardness in the local water supply.
For all commercial operators we recommend the use of a water softener.

Expect 2500 hours element life, this can be serious depleted by poor maintenance.

All users commercial and domestic must ensure a regular maintenance routine to descale
the generator – the frequency of this will vary according to the degree of hardness in the
local water supply and the amount of time the generator is used for. Check the water for
hardness and arrange the descaling routine accordingly: ­High levels of hardness descale once every 50 to 100 hours of operation.
Medium levels of hardness descale once every 100 to 250 hours operation.
Low levels of hardness descale once every 250 to 1000 hours of operation.

To descale the generator use a solution of weak acid crystals (such as citric acid) mixed with
water
Citric acid can be purchased from:
www.thebathingplace.com
www.oceanic-saunas.eu

12. Guarantee

All generators are guaranteed for 12 months for domestic and commercial use from the date of
purchase. This guarantee excludes consumable items such as the electrical elements and failures
resulting from misuse or abuse such as a not descaling the machine.
If you are using the generator for more than 20 hours a week in a hard water area without a
water softener your guarantee will be invalidated.

If you encounter any diculty with this assembly procedure or think we could have explained
anything more clearly we would welcome your comments, please call T: 01902 655425 or T:
