ADVICE TO USERS
The following points will help you understand
how the Body Dryer operates:
a. The unit consists of a high powered two
speed fan and 2 x 4.5kW heater elements
which are fully controllable using the hand-held
controller (supplied). Air is drawn in through
the filter, passed across the elements and then
discharged downwards.
b. DO NOT place pressurised aerosol cans in or
under the hot air flow. Always electrically isolate
the dryer or dryer/shower combination when
not in use.
c. Temperature sensors are fitted to the unit for
your safety. However, the best sensor is you. If
you find the airflow or room temperature rises
to uncomfortable levels switch off or regulate
the flow through use of the controller. Never
leave alone those unable to recognise or react to
discomfort with the dryer switched on.
For ideal comfort and drying time the ceiling
height should be between 2.2m to 2.5m.
The dryer has a 10-minute preset cut off.
d. The unit can be connected in combination
with an electrical shower rated from 8kW
up to 10.5kW. The electrical safety features
incorporated in the unit do not allow the Body
Dryer to be operated while the shower is on and
vice versa.
e. The hand-held controller should be kept
away from sources of water.
f. The LED’s incorporated into the cover show
the operational status of the Body Dryer or
any fault condition. If you suspect the unit to
be faulty unqualified attempts to rectify the
situation should be limited to isolating and
switching on the unit via the pull cord and
operation of the hand-held controller (see
commissioning instructions). All other problems
MUST be attended to by a competent electrician
or service engineer.
Due to continuous improvement and updating,
specification may be altered without prior notice.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Customer
Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part numbers.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS7671 (IEE
wiring regulations) and be sufficient for the
amperage required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1 The body dryer must only be connected to
a 230 – 240V ac supply (single phase).
2 If an instantaneous electric shower
circuit already exists the body dryer
may be connected in series with the
shower subject to confirmation that the
electrical circuit complies with current IEE
regulations.
2.1 The electrical rating of the body dryer is
shown on the rating label within the unit.
3 Before making any electrical connection
within the installation make sure that no
terminal is live. If in any doubt switch off
the whole installation at the mains and
remove the correct circuit fuse.
4 If the installation is undertaken by
anyone who is not registered to issue
a Part P electrical certificate then it will
be necessary to notify the local Building
Control office before installing.
5 The body dryer must be connected to
its own independent electrical circuit as
determined by the IEE regulations but it
can share the same supply as an electric
shower providing the wiring connections
follow that of the wiring schematic shown
in the electrical connections section.
The body dryer MUST NOT be connected
to a ring main, spur socket outlet, lighting
circuit or cooker circuit.
Note: Safety features built into the body
dryer prevent the unit and any shower fed
via the body dryer from operating at the
same time.
5.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for
the maximum loading of the unit and/or
any existing shower circuit.
6 Check the consumer unit (main fuse
box) has a main switch rating of 80A or
above and that the fuse way will take the
necessary fuse or MCB to provide the
maximum electrical load (amps) of the
body dryer and shower if applicable.
6.1 If the consumer unit has a rating below
80A or there is no spare fuse way then the
installation may require a new consumer
unit serving the house or just the body
dryer/shower.
6.2 If you do not have the necessary supply
you will need to contact the local
electricity company regarding upgrading
the incoming supply.

7 The earth continuity conductor of the
electrical installation must be effectively
connected electrically to all exposed metal
parts of other appliances and services in
the room in which the body dryer and
an electric shower is to be installed, to
conform to current IEE regulations.
8. For close circuit protection DO NOT use
a rewireable fuse, instead use a suitably
rated miniature circuit breaker (MCB) or
cartridge fuse (see table A).
8.1 A 30mA residual current device (RCD)
MUST be installed in wiring for all body
dryer installations.
9 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch
with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in
both poles must be incorporated in the
circuit.
9.1 This isolating switch must also have a
mechanical indicator showing when the
switch is in the OFF position and the
wiring must be connected to the switch
without the use of a plug or socket outlet.
9.2 The switch must be accessible and clearly
identifiable, but out of reach of a person
using a fixed bath or shower, except for
the cord of a cord operated switch. The
switch should be placed so that it is not
possible to touch the switch body while
standing in the bath or shower cubicle. It
should, however, be readily accessible to
switch off after using the shower.
10 Where a shower cubicle is located in any
room other than a bathroom, all socket
outlets in that room must be protected by
a 30mA RCD.
11 The current carrying capacity of the cable
must be at least that of the shower circuit
protection.
11.1 To obtain full advantage of the power
provided by the body dryer, use the
shortest cable route possible from the
consumer unit to the body dryer and to
the shower if applicable.
11.2 It is also necessary to satisfy the
disconnection time and thermal
constraints, which means that for any
given combination of current demand,
voltage drop and cable size, there is a
maximum permissible circuit length.
12 The body dryer circuit should be separated
from other circuits by at least twice the
diameter of the cable or conduit.
12.1 The current rating will be reduced if
the cabling is bunched with others,
or surrounded by thermal loft or wall
insulation or placed in areas where the
ambient temperature is above 30°C.
Under these conditions derating factors
apply and it is necessary to select a larger
cable size.
12.2 In the majority of installations the cable
will unavoidably be placed in one or more
of the above conditions. This being so, we
strongly recommend using a minimum of
10mm² cabling throughout the installation.
12.3 In any event, it is essential that a
competent electrician assess individual site
conditions in order to ensure the correct
requirements are met.

Fig.4 Typical system layout
The dryer has been designed for use in a
bathroom or shower room for the purpose of
personal body drying and will heat a bathroom
rapidly. The dryer should not be used for any
other purpose (It may be sited in Area C or
beyond defined areas); see fig.3.
WARNING!
The dryer must NOT be positioned
where it is likely to become in contact
with water from above or below or
in a damp environment e.g. inside a
steam room, shower cubicle or directly
over a bath in Area A or B - see fig.3.
Beyond defined Areas

600mm diameter
Before installing consideration should be given
to ease of installation, inspection, servicing and
removal.
Access to electrical connections and the routing
and security of electrical cables should always be
paramount, particularly the isolation switch (see
Electrical Requirements).
Fig.4 shows a typical system layout.
As a minimum, a floor area of 600mm diameter
should be allowed directly below the output
vent (rectangular nozzle) of the body dryer for
the user to stand in (fig.5). However, the user
will benefit most where the area under the dryer
is the largest area possible of clear floor space.
Note: The body dryer MUST not be positioned
over a bath or within a shower cabinet.
Use the template (fig.6) and cover to
determine the best position for the body dryer.
Careful observation and measurement both
above and below the ceiling will ensure all
factors are taken into account before any drilling
or cutting takes place.
Always try the body dryer template in a selected
location before proceeding further.
IMPORTANT: Loft insulation that occupies
the space required for the dryer should be
removed or rolled back. The unit must be
installed on flat surfaces both above and
below the ceiling otherwise difficulty may be
encountered when fitting the ceiling cowling
and subsequent operation of the unit may be
impaired.
Note: To install the Body Dryer to a concrete
ceiling with an additional suspended ceiling or
a bathroom with a timber flat roof construction
you will need to use an optional fitting kit (not
supplied). Contact Triton Customer Service for
further details.
Once installed, care should be taken to ensure
the immediate area around the body dryer
unit within the loft space remains a clear of of
obstructions and that other items are not placed
against the unit or in close proximity.
It is recommended that the electrical feed cables
are secured to a convenient joist (fig.7).

FITTING OF THE DRYER
Before installation check the parts for any signs
of obvious damage.
Read, understand and follow the installation
safety guidelines that come with this product.
The dryer has been designed for use in a
bathroom or shower room for the purpose of
personal body drying. The dryer should NOT be
used for any other purpose; see 'Siting'.

Procedure
Use the template and cover to determine
the best position for the body dryer. Careful
observation and measurement both above and
below the ceiling will ensure all factors are taken
into account before any marking, drilling or
cutting, takes place.
If the template does not fit easily between the
roof joists then a section of joist may have to be
removed and the remainder supported by cross
members attached to the adjacent joists with
suitable supports on either side of the unit.
IMPORTANT: This task is beyond the scope
of this book and should NOT be attempted
unless the installer is suitably experienced
and has the knowledge and skills to maintain
a secure structure.
The minimum distance between joists is 355mm.

Tip: Remember, sound advice is to measure
twice, cut once.
Note: The cut-outs in the template are not
symmetrical about the centre of the template.
When positioning the template make sure to use
the correct aspect.
Place the template supplied in the selected
position in the roof space and push a bradawl
or thin screwdriver through the plasterboard to
mark the four corners of the rectangular cut out,
the centre of the round hole and the centres
of the two smaller holes (fig.8). Remember,
you are pushing through plasterboard and the
minimum effort required should be used.
From below, line up the template with the holes
made in the ceiling and mark the cut outs and
cover locating holes with a pen (fig.9).
Before making any cuts align the cover to these
markings to confirm the chosen position.
Drill the four corners of the rectangular cut out
and one point on the inner edge of the large
round hole with an 8mm drill bit to allow for a
pad saw to be used (fig.10). Open out the two
smaller holes to 20mm diameter.
When drilling or cutting from below it is
recommended that eye protection is used.
Waste material should be collected at the
highest convenient point since airborne particles
can cause respiratory discomfort. A vacuum
cleaner nozzle close to the drill bit or pad saw
cut can also reduce the overall volume.
It is useful to have an assistant when drilling or
cutting the plaster board to hold a catchment
tray or box for the falling debris. Do not forget
that they need personal protection too.
Clear out any debris that remains above ceiling
height.
Position the body dryer from above (fig.11)
and inspect from below. Fit temporarily the
cover to confirm correct fit and alignment.
Support the unit between the joists using the
support straps and staples provided (fig.12).
The straps need only be slightly tensioned.
Connect the communications cable to the body
dryer unit (fig.13) and route the cable through
the hole in the plasterboard in preparation for
plugging into cover (fig.13).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT
THE MAINS.
Fig.15 shows a schematic wiring diagram.
Fig.16 shows a connection diagram which
must be followed without deviation. This is
particularly important where a body dryer and
shower combination are using the same feed
cable.
A built-in safety feature of the body dryer
prevents both devices from operating at the
same time and overloading the electrical wiring.
Note: The terminal block that connects the
shower cable to the dryer is LIVE whenever the
dryer is not electrically isolated.
Live conductor (Brown or Red)
to terminal marked
L
Neutral conductor (Blue or Black)
to terminal marked
N
Earth conductor to terminal marked
(yellow and green)
E
The mains cable should be firmly secured using
the clamps provided.
The earth wire should be physically longer than
the live and neutral wires.
IMPORTANT: Where a shower is involved
earth continuity is essential to provide a safe
operating environment.
Fully tighten the terminal block screws and
make sure no cable insulation is trapped under
the screws. Loose connections can result in the
cable overheating.
Notes
Good wiring practice advises that:
The supply cable earth conductor must be
sleeved.
The outer sheath of the supply cable must be
stripped back to the minimum.
The supply cable must be secured either by
routing through conduit or in trunking or by
embedding in the wall, in accordance with
current IEE regulations.

COMMISSIONING
IMPORTANT: Before commissioning make
sure both the electrical connection cover and
ceiling are in place.
The unit has two fan speeds and two heat
settings in any combination.
A single audible signal confirms a change
in speed has been effected. A double bleep
confirms the unit is in full heat mode. The unit
can also be used in fan only mode.
Establish the electrical supply to the pull cord
switch assembly by replacing any fuses and
activating the RCD device.
Operate the pull switch to connect mains power
to the unit. Momentarily, all three LED’s will
flash on but only the green LED will remain on.
Test Sequence
Carry out the functions shown in Table C.
When first operated you may experience an
odour from the unit, this will be due to the
heating elements being operated for the first
few times. This odour should quickly disappear.
Overheating is a sign that something is wrong.
If the reason for overheating is not obvious
then switch off the unit at the mains supply and
contact Triton Customer Service for advice.
DO NOT attempt any repairs as there are
no user serviceable parts in the unit.
The body dryer has a 10-minute maximum run
time after which the unit will switch itself off.
To restart the dryer reselect a setting; this
prevents permanent operation of the dryer
when a button is accidentally pressed.
Any associated electric shower should now be
checked for functionality as shown in Table D.

Note: As with most electrical appliances,
the unit must be switched off at the
isolating switch when not in use.
OPERATING FUNCTIONS
Normal use
The dryer has been designed for use in a
bathroom or shower room for the purpose of
personal body drying. The dryer MUST NOT be
used for any other purpose.
The body dryer is designed to give maximum
comfort and drying satisfaction.
The dryer is an extremely efficient personal body
dryer and will heat a room rapidly.
It should be understood that when wet
rapid evaporation results in a drop in body
temperature. To maximise comfort and reduce
drying time it is recommended that full heat
and slow fan speed is selected immediately after
exiting the shower or bath.
Typically, after a short period excess water on
the skin will start to evaporate quickly and the
user feels more comfortable with the fast speed
setting and/or lower heat setting. Make these
adjustments as required.
When first operated you may experience an
odour from the unit, this will be due the heating
elements being operated for the first few times.
This odour should quickly disappear.
Remote control handset (fig.21)
Works by infra red frequency transmissions and
has a range of about five metres line-of-sight.
Body dryer controller
Each time a button is depressed it is
accompanied by either one or two bleeps. The
functions are shown in Table E.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the dryer unit
and returns power to the shower (if fitted). An
audible jingle is generated to confirm that the
dryer has been switched off.
Off control
Power is always maintained to the dryer for
control purposes but power to any associated
electric shower will be switched off when the
dryer is in use.
As a precaution against misoperation the dryer
incorporates a 10 minute cut-off timer. If this is

activated then the reselection of a function on
the remote controller will be required to restart
the dryer.
OVERHEAT CUT OUT
The body dryer is designed with your safety
in mind. The dryer incorporates sophisticated
protection circuitry that shuts down the power if
for any reason the dryer should overheat.
In the unlikely event that this should occur
during use both the red and orange LED’s in
the cover will be illuminated and the body dryer
heaters and fan will have been turned off by the
electrical safety circuitry.
When the red LED has extinguished the unit has
cooled sufficiently for the body dryer to be safely

overheat situation has occurred and can only
be reset when the power to the body dryer is
removed. Use the pull cord switch assembly to
disconnect then reconnect the electrical power.
Overheating is a sign that something is wrong,
if the reason for overheating is not obvious or
is a regular occurrence then advice or support
should be sought from an approved service
engineer or the manufacturer.
DO NOT attempt any repairs as there are
no user serviceable parts in the unit.

Service Policy
In the event of a product fault or complaint occurring, the
following procedure should be followed:
1 Telephone Customer Service on 0870 067 3333 (0845 762 6591
in Scotland and in Northern Ireland), having available, your
details including post code, the model number and power rating
of the product, together with the date of purchase.
2 Based on information given over the telephone, a Triton Customer
Service Advisor will attempt to diagnose the fault and confirm
whether a site visit from a qualified service engineer is required.
3 All products attended to by a Triton service engineer must be
installed in full accordance with the Triton installation guide
applicable to the product. (Every product pack contains an
installation guide, however, they can also be bought via our
Customer Service Spares Department).
4 Our engineer will require local parking and if a permit is required
this must be available to the engineer on arrival at the call.
5 It is essential that you or an appointed representa-tive (who must
be over 18 years of age) is present for the duration of the service
engineer's visit. If the product is in guarantee you must produce
proof of purchase.
6 Where a call under the terms of guarantee has been booked
and the failure is not product related (i.e. scaling and fur-ring,
incorrect water pressure, pressure relief device operation or
electrical/plumbing installation fault) a charge will be made. A
charge will also be issued if nobody is at home when the service
engineer calls or adequate parking/permit is not available.
7 If the product is no longer covered by the guarantee an up front
fixed fee will be charged before the site visit.
8 Should proof of purchase not be available on an “in-guarantee”
call, or should the service engineer find that the product is no
longer under guarantee, the engineer will charge the same fixed
price and the customer will be expected to pay the engineer
before he leaves. If payment is not made on the day an
administration charge will be added to the fixed charge.
9 If a debt is outstanding from a previous visit, or from any other
Triton purchase, Triton reserves the right to withhold service until
the debt has been settled.
10 Triton takes the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees very
seriously and expects customers to treat all staff members with
respect. Should any employee feel threatened or receive abuse,
either verbally or physically, Triton reserves the right to withhold
service and will support the employee with a legal prosecution.
