IMPORTANT: Multi-conductor cable must be
installed so that the end will not be buried inside the
wall. The unit will not operate unless the control is

2. Electrical Rough-in

a)

Remove the multi-conductor cable from the control
packing box. Carefully route the multi-conductor
control cable from the Steambath Generator to the
TC-135 located inside the steamroom (see Figure 2).
Route multi-conductor cable though a ¾” conduit to
protect the cable from damage and to facilitate
replacement if necessary.
