GENERAL

Isolate the electrical and water supplies before removing the cover.

Read all of these instructions and retain them for later use.

DO NOT take risks with plumbing or electrical equipment.

Isolate electrical and water supplies before proceeding with the installation.

The unit must be mounted onto the ﬁnished wall surface (on top of the tiles). Do not tile up to unit after ﬁxing to wall.

Contact Customer Service (see back page), if any of the following occur:

If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the maximum or below the minimum stated.

If the unit shows a distinct change in performance.

If the shower is frozen. If it is intended to operate the shower in areas

of hard water (above 200 ppm temporary hardness), a scale inhibitor may have to be ﬁtted. For advice on the Triton Scale Inhibitor, contact Triton Customer Service.

The showerhead must be cleaned regularly with descalent to remove scale and debris, otherwise restrictions to the ﬂow on the outlet of the unit will result in higher temperatures and could also cause the Pressure Relief Device in the unit to operate.

This product is not suitable for mounting into steam rooms or steam cubicles.

PLUMBING

The plumbing installation must comply with Water Regulations, Building Regulations or any particular regulations as speciﬁed by Local Water Company or Water Undertakers and should be in accordance with BS 6700.

The supply pipe must be ﬂushed to clear debris before connecting to the shower unit.

DO NOT solder pipes or ﬁttings within

300mm of the shower unit, as heat can transfer along the pipework and damage components.

DO NOT ﬁt any form of outlet ﬂow control as the outlet acts as a vent for the heater can.

DO NOT use excessive force when making connections to the ﬂexible hose or showerhead, ﬁnger tight is sufﬁcient.

All plumbing connections must be completed before making the electrical connections.

ELECTRICAL

The installation must comply with BS 7671 ‘Requirements for electrical installations’ (IEE wiring regulations), building regulations or any particular regulations as speciﬁed by the local Electrical Supply Company.

This appliance MUST be earthed. In accordance with ‘The Plugs and Sockets etc.

(Safety) Regulations 1994’, this appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the ﬁxed wiring of the electrical mains system.

Make sure all electrical connections are tight to prevent overheating.

Fuses do not give personal protection against electric shock. A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.

Switch off immediately at isolating switch if water ceases to ﬂow during use.

Other electrical equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps must not be connected to the circuits within the unit.

Switch off at isolating switch when not in use. This is a safety procedure recommended with all electrical appliances.

As with all electrical appliances it is recommended to have the shower and installation checked at least every two years by a competent electrician to ensure there is no deterioration due to age and usage.

ADVICE TO USERS

I-001-A

IMPORTANT: When ﬁrst installed the unit

will be empty. It is essential the unit should contain water before the elements are switched on. It is vital that the commissioning procedure is followed. Failure to carry out this operation will result in damage to the unit and will invalidate the guarantee.

J-002-A

The following points will help you understand how the shower operates:

If ever the water becomes too hot and you cannot obtain cooler water, ﬁrst check that the sprayplate in the showerhead has not become blocked.

DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep through the joint between the cover and backplate, and possibly damage the sealing rubber.

The electric heating elements operate at a constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the rate of the water passing through the heater unit which determines the shower temperature at any given setting. (The slower the ﬂow the hotter the water becomes, and the faster the ﬂow the cooler the water).

During winter, mains water supply will be cooler than in summer. Therefore, the temperature of the shower will vary between seasons on any one setting of the temperature control.At different times of the year you may have to adjust the position of the temperature control to maintain your desired temperature setting.

The stabiliser valve minimises variations in shower temperature during mains water pressure changes. If changes in shower temperature are experienced during normal use, it will most likely be caused by the water pressure falling near to or below the minimum level. The drop in pressure may be due to water being drawn off at other points in the house whilst the shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably below the minimum, the heating elements will automatically cut out.

Y-003-A

Replacement parts can be ordered from Customer Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part numbers.

INTRODUCTION

CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Fig.3 Schematic of installation circuit

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE wiring regulations) and be sufﬁcient for the amperage required. The following notes are for guidance only:

1 The shower must only be connected to a

230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is advisable to contact the local electricity supply company.

1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shown on the rating label (Fig.3) within the unit.

2 Before making any sort of electrical

connection within the installation make sure that no terminal is live. If in any doubt, switch off the whole installation at the mains supply and remove the correct fuse.

3 The shower must be connected to its own

independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT be connected to a ring main, spur, socket outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.

3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for the loading of the unit and existing circuits.

4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)

has a main switch rating of 80A or above and that it has a spare fuse way which will take the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) necessary for the shower (Fig.4).

4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the installation will not be straightforward and may require a new consumer unit serving the house or just the shower.

4.2 You will need to contact the local electricity company. They will check the supply and carry out what is necessary.

5 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).

5.1 A 30mA residual current device (RCD) must be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.

5.1 A 30mA residual current device (RCD) must be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.

6 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch with

a minimum contact gap of 3 mm in both poles must be incorporated in the circuit.

6.1 It must 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.

6.2 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, and should be placed so that it is not possible to touch the switch body while standing in a bath or shower cubicle. It should be readily accessible to switch off after using the shower.

7 Where shower cubicles are located in any

rooms other than bathrooms, all socket outlets in those rooms must be protected by a 30mA RCD.

8 The current carrying capacity of the cable

must be at least that of the shower circuit protection (see Table B).

8.1 To obtain full advantage of the power provided by the shower, use the shortest cable route possible from the consumer unit to the shower.

8.1 To obtain full advantage of the power provided by the shower, use the shortest cable route possible from the consumer unit to the shower.

8.2 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.

9 The shower circuit should be separated from

other circuits by at least twice the diameter of the cable or conduit.

9.1 The current rating will be reduced if the cabling is bunched with others, 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.

9.2 In the majority of installations, the cable will unavoidably be placed in one or more of the above conditions. This being so, it is strongly recommended to use a minimum of 10mm cabling throughout the shower installation.

9.3 In any event, it is essential that individual site conditions are assessed by a competent electrician in order to determine the correct cable size and permissible circuit length.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

B-008-A

WATER REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with

ater Regulations/Bylaws.

To ensure activation of the heating elements, the shower must be connected to a mains water supply with a minimum running pressure of 100kPa (1.0bar) at a minimum ﬂow rate of nine litres per minute.

The maximum static pressure must be no greater than 1000kPa (10 bar).

If in any doubt, the pressure should be checked.

Note: If the stated ﬂow rate is not available, it may not be possible to achieve optimum performance from the unit throughout the year.

During periods of high ambient temperatures it may be necessary to select a low power setting to achieve your preferred shower temperature.

The water supply can be taken from a cold water storage cistern provided there is a minimum head of ten metres. Minimum head is the vertical distance from the base of the cistern to the showerhead. It must be an independent supply to the shower only.

If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the maximum or below the minimum stated, contact Customer Service for advice.

Fig. shows a typical system layout.

Do not use jointing compounds on any pipe ﬁttings for the installation.

P-001-A

Pressure relief safety device

A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into the shower unit which complies with European standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance protection should an excessive build up of pressure occur within the shower.

Do not operate the shower with a damaged or kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead which can cause the PRD to operate.

When commissioning, the showerhead must be removed from the ﬂexible hose, while at the same time the temperature control must be at the minimum ﬂow position. Failure to follow this procedure may also cause the PRD to operate.

Make sure the shower is positioned over a bath or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then water will eject from the bottom of the unit.

Should this happen, turn off the electricity and water supplies to the shower at the isolating switch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Service for advice on replacing the PRD.

SITING OF THE SHOWER

S-001-A

SITING OF THE SHOWER

FOR EASE OF SERVICING, THE UNIT MUST ALWAYS BE MOUNTED ON THE SURFACE OF TILED WALLS. NEVER TILE UP TO THE UNIT.

Refer to (Fig. ) for correct siting of shower.

Position the unit where it will not be in direct contact with water from the showerhead. Position the shower unit vertically.

llow enough room between the ceiling and the

shower to access the cover top screws.

Note: Water Regulations (shower hose connections) requires the showerhead be ‘constrained by a ﬁxed or sliding attachment so that it can only discharge water at a point not less than 25 mm above the spill-over level of the relevant bath, shower tray or other ﬁxed appliance’. The use of the supplied soap dish will in most cases meet this requirement, but if the showerhead can be placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then a double check valve, or similar, must be ﬁtted in the supply pipework to prevent back-ﬂow.

W-008-A

WARNING!

The shower must not be positioned

where it will be subjected to freezing

conditions.

I-002-A

IMPORTANT: The unit must be mounted on

a ﬂat surface which covers the full width and length of the backplate. It is important that the wall surface is ﬂat otherwise difﬁculty may be encountered when ﬁtting the cover and subsequent operation of the unit may be impaired.

Page 10

Shannon electric shower

W-005-A

WARNING!

Check there are no hidden cables or

pipes before drilling holes for wall

plugs. Use great care when using power

tools near water. The use of a residual

current device (RCD) is recommended.

Note: The control knobs are an integral part of the cover — DO NOT attempt to remove them.

Unscrew the two top and one bottom retaining screws (fig.6) and lift the cover from the

backplate.

Entry positions for the mains water and electric cable are from the top, bottom, either side or from the back.

Note: Deviations from the designated entry points will invalidate product approvals.

If a bottom entry has been chosen, fit the appropriate cut-out in the top of the backplate

(fig.7).

If a top entry has been chosen, fit the appropriate cut-out in the bottom of the cover

(fig.8).

If a side entry is required, the cover will have to be cut out. Carefully remove the appropriate

area by using a knife or junior hacksaw (fig.9).

If installing a feed pipe from the back or bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is

20 mm (fig.10).

Note: If entry is from the back, the nut of the compression fitting will be partially behind the

surface of the wall (fig.10). This area MUST be left clear when plastering over the pipework in order to make the nut accessible for future adjustments.

After choosing the site for the shower, use the backplate as a template and mark the two fixing

holes (fig.11). Drill and plug the wall.

(An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the wall is brick, plasterboard or a soft building block, appropriate wall plugs and screws should be fitted).

Plumbing to be carried out before wiring.

DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation.

DO NOT solder fittings near the area of the shower unit as heat can transfer along the pipework and damage components.

Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet of the shower.

Note: An additional stopvalve (complying with Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water in order to carry out maintenance or servicing.

IMPORTANT: Before completing the connection of the water supply to the inlet of the shower, and in compliance with Water Regulations, flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris. This can be achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework and turning on the mains water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste.

Procedure

Turn off the water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the shower via 15 mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe using a 15 mm x 15 mm compression fitting.

Note: The inlet fitting is designed to enter a compression fitting only. DO NOT use push fit connectors as full engagement cannot be guaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force when making these connections.

Make sure the backplate is square on the wall and tighten the two retaining screws which hold it to the wall.

Turn on the mains water supply and check for leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.

IMPORTANT: Using a suitable sealant, always seal around the incoming pipework to prevent water entering the wall.

Note: At this stage no water can flow through the unit.

W-004-A

WARNING!

The outlet of the shower acts as a

vent and MUST NOT be connected to

anything other than the hose and

showerhead supplied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAINS.

Fig. shows a schematic wiring diagram.

The cable entry points are shown in (ﬁg. ).

The cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via 20 mm conduit.

Note: Conduit entry can only be from rear. Route the cable into the shower unit and connect to the terminal block (ﬁg. ) as follows:

Earth cable to terminal marked E

Neutral cable to terminal marked N

Live cable to terminal marked L

IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal block screws and check that no cable insulation is trapped under the screws. Loose connections can result in cable overheating.

Note: 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 IEE regulations.

The use of connections within the unit, or other points in the shower circuit, to supply power to other equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee.

DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until the cover has been ﬁtted.

WARNING!

Before normal operation of the

shower, it is essential the following

commissioning procedure is completed

correctly.

The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris, and to guarantee that the heater unit contains water before the elements are switched on. This operation must be carried out with the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but without the showerhead attached. Make sure the outlet of the flexible hose is directed to waste.

Before turning on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower, make sure that the

power selector is at the ‘STOP’ position (fig.17) and the temperature control is rotated fully clockwise to ‘10’, the minimum flow position

(fig.18).

Note: Failure to turn the control to ‘10’ may

cause the PRD to operate.

Turn on the mains water supply to the shower at the isolating stop valve and then turn on the electric supply to the shower at the isolating switch. The power indicator will light.

Switch the power selector to the ‘COLD’ position (fig.19) and wait until water starts to flow from

the flexible hose.

Slowly rotate the temperature control fully anticlockwise to ‘1’, the maximum flow position

(fig.20).

It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained whilst air and any debris is being flushed from the shower.

When a smooth flow of water is obtained, rotate the temperature control from ‘1’ to ‘10’ several times to release any trapped air within the unit.

Once flushing out has been completed, stop the water flow by turning the power selector to the ‘STOP’ position.

Fit the showerhead to the flexible hose and place in the showerhead holder.

The shower is now ready for normal operation.

WARNING!

Before normal operation of the

shower, it is essential the following

commissioning procedure is completed

correctly.

To start the shower

Turning the power selector to the red or blue symbol positions will start the flow of water.

To stop the shower

Switch the power selector to the ‘STOP’ position and water will stop.

W-003-A

WARNING!

If restarting immediately after

stopping, be aware that a slug of hot

water will be expelled for the ﬁrst few

seconds.

To use the power selector

The power selector has four positions — STOP, COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH — as shown in

fig.21.

STOP is to switch off the electric and water supply at the shower — no flow or power used.

Blue symbol is for COLD water only. Adjustment of the temperature control at this setting will only alter the force of the water from the showerhead. IT WILL NOT ALTER THE WATER TEMPERATURE.

Single red symbol is the ECONOMY setting for using less power during warmer months. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control.

Note: If the stated flow rate required for the unit cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will be necessary to operate the unit on this setting during the warmer months because of flow rate limitations entering the unit.

The double red symbol is the HIGH setting which allows the highest flow achievable for your preferred temperature. This setting should normally be regarded as optimum shower

OPERATING THE SHOWER

N-002-A

Note: In normal use, it is in order to leave the

water supply permanently on to the shower unit, but as with most electrical appliances,

the unit must be switched off at the isolating switch when not in use.

performance throughout the year. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control.

To adjust the shower temperature

The water temperature is altered by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the water through the shower using the temperature control

(fig.21).

After obtaining your preferred shower temperature, the number can be remembered and left as the normal setting and should only need to be adjusted to compensate for seasonal changes in ambient water temperature.

Note: The preferred number on ‘ECONOMY’ will give a different temperature to the same number position on ‘HIGH’.

To decrease the shower temperature

Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise; this will increase the flow of water through the shower and is indicated by the lower numbers.

To increase the shower temperature

Turn the temperature control clockwise; this will decrease the flow of water through the shower and is indicated by the higher numbers.

Note: It is advisable to be certain that the showering temperature is satisfactory by testing with your hand before stepping under the showerhead. There will always be a time delay of ten to fifteen seconds between selecting a flow rate and the water reaching the stable temperature for that flow rate.

CAUTION: It is recommended that persons who may have difficulty understanding or operating the shower controls should not be left unattended whilst showering. Special consideration should be given to young children and the less able bodied.

WARNING!

After any servicing of mains water

supply, always ﬂush out the pipework

to remove any debris. Always make sure the unit is started on COLD in order to purge any air in

the pipework.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Power on indicator (fig.22)

When the electricity supply to the shower is switched on at the isolating switch, the ‘POWER’ indicator will light.

Low water pressure cut-out

If the water pressure falls below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, power will be switched off to the heating elements preventing any maintained temperature rises (water will continue to flow).

Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns.

Overheat cut-out

During normal operation if an overheat temperature is sensed, power to the elements will be reduced. Water will continue to flow. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the previous setting at the time of interruption.

Safety cut-out

The unit is fitted with a thermal cut-out safety device. In the event of abnormal operation which could cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, the device will disconnect the heating elements. It will require a visit from a qualified engineer to determine the nature of the fault and replace the safety device, once the unit has been repaired.

WARNING!

DO NOT use abrasive or aggressive

cleaning products when cleaning the

shower as they may damage the unit.

CLEANING THE INLET FILTER

It is recommended that the filter is periodically cleaned in order to maintain the performance of the shower. It is essential that this operation is carried out by a competent person.

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAINS.

The inlet filter is situated inside the solenoid inlet (fig.25).

To gain access to the filter, remove the cover and disconnect and remove the compression fitting. Also, depending on the incoming pipework arrangements, if there is not enough slack in the pipework, it could mean the removal of the unit from the wall.

When cleaning the filter, DO NOT use a sharp object, as it will cause damage. It is preferable to use an old toothbrush or similar.
