Installation Instructions

1. Pre-Installation - Control Location

The TSC Control must be installed inside the steam- room.
For convenience the recommended height from the floor is
four feet. Provide a 1½" hole in the wall at this location (see
Figure 1).

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 installed.

2. Electrical Rough-in

Remove the multi-conductor cable from the control packing
box. Carefully route the multi-conductor control cable from
the steam generator to the TSC located inside the steam­room (see Figure 1). Route multi-conductor cable through a
¾" conduit to protect the cable from damage and to facilitate
replacement if necessary.

WARNING: Elderly persons, pregnant women, or those suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or
who are otherwise not in good health, do not use this device unless directed to do so by a physician. Also, do not use

!

steambath while under the influence of alcohol.

3. Control and Cable Installation

a) Locate the previously installed cable and black plastic

strain relief clamp which is in the control packing box.
Locate the knockout on the steam generator for the
control cable (see Figure 1).

b) Place strain relief around cable about seven inches from

the end and insert into the hole. Remove the protective
covering labeled “Remove Before Installation” from the
modular jack found on the PC board.

c) Remove the protective cap from the multi-conductor

cable plug. Connect the cable to the modular jack.
d) Close and secure generator cover.
e) Locate Telco Jack at female coupler, on back of the

TSC control. Remove the protective covering labeled

“Remove Before Installation”. Remove protective cap

from cable and plug into jack. Check that the orientation

of the plug properly aligns with the jack. A snap will

indicate the plug is installed correctly (see Figure 2).
WARNING: Test the control for operation before

continuing on to the next step.
f) Peel adhesive liner from back of the control. Apply the

control to the wall. Press firmly and hold for a few

seconds.
g) After the control is in place, apply silicone (supplied)

around the control to form a watertight seal.

Installation Instructions for Steamhead &
Center Hub

1. Make sure the 3/4" nipple protrudes beyond the tile

approximately 1/2" (see Figure 5).

2. Wrap the nipple with pipe sealant tape.

3. Put a bead of silicone around the outer edge of the Back

Plate (see Figure 5) and center the Back Plate over the pipe
in an upright position. While holding it in place screw the
Center Hub onto the nipple, using a ⅜" Hex Key to tighten.

4. The Center Hub MUST be aligned with the four walls in the

vertical and horizontal position (see Figure 6). Make sure the
steamhead O-ring is fully seated into the Back Plate. If the
nipple is sticking out too far the O-ring will not make a proper
seal and the nipple must be adjusted.

5. Apply a small amount of silicone at the back center point of

the Cover Plate. This will aid in preventing movement of this
plate (see Figure 6).

6. Place the Cover Plate over the Center Hub. This is accom-

plished by first hooking the top and then snapping the bottom
into place.

7. Adjust the Back Plate and Cover Plate to line up squarely,

and clean excess silicone with rubbing alcohol.
