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.

This book contains all the necessary fitting and operating instructions for your Triton pumped electric shower. Take time to read this book thoroughly and familiarise yourself with all instructions before installing. Please keep it for future reference.

The shower installation must be carried out in the sequence of this instruction book.

Do not attempt any electrical or plumbing work necessary to install this product unless you have good practical experience and adequate understanding of the IEE regulations and water regulations

Care taken during the installation will provide a long, trouble-free life from your shower.

Meets with Compliance with European Community Directives (CE).

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

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, e.g. if you have chosen setting number 6 as your preferred shower temperature in the summer, you will have to increase that number during winter by adjusting the temperature control clockwise (which in effect slows the water flow).

c. If for any reason there is a sudden rise in water

temperature, the unit has thermal cut-out devices built-in (see items 3 and 4 under ‘Fault Finding’).

d. Switch off immediately at the isolating switch

if water ceases to flow. Press the Start/Stop button and contact Customer Service for advice.

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.

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.

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.

8.2 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.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with the Water Regulations/Bylaws.

To ensure activation of the heating elements, the shower must be connected to a cold water supply which is gravity fed from a static cold water storage cistern with a minimum capacity of 114 litres (25 gallons).

There must be a maximum head of water of 10 metres and a minimum head of 8 cm as measured between the bottom of the cistern and the top of the shower unit. There must be no other cold water draw-offs between the cistern and the unit and the pipe must not supply water to any other tap or fitting at a lower level.

Note: The supply pipe from the cistern should be on the opposite side to the float operated valve to prevent air being drawn into the pipe when the cistern is filling.

If it is intended to operate the shower in hard water areas (above 200 ppm temporary hardness) a scale inhibitor should be fitted.

Fig.4 shows a typical system layout.

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

WARNING!

Under no circumstances must this

shower be connected directly to the

mains water supply.

WARNING!

The shower must not be positioned

where it will be subjected to freezing

conditions.

SITING OF THE SHOWER

IMPORTANT: If installing onto a tiled wall always mount the unit on the surface of the tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.

Refer to fig.5 for correct siting of the shower.

Position the unit where it will

NOT be in direct

contact with water from the showerhead. Position the shower unit vertically.

Allow enough room between the ceiling and the shower to access the cover top screws.

Note: Water regulations require 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.

Allow enough room between the ceiling and the

shower to access the cover top screws.

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. Failure to follow this procedure may also result in causing 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.

The PRD is situated behind the outlet pipe (fig.6). To access the PRD, FIRST SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY, unscrew the hose then remove the cover. Remove the two screws holding the outlet pipe to the base of the can. Carefully pull away from the can and then unscrew the two screws holding the PRD to the outlet pipe.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to replace the PRD unless competent to do so.

Note: Before replacing the cover, it is strongly advised to prime the unit (see ‘commissioning’).

FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

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

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.

Unscrew the two top and two bottom retaining screws (fig.7) and lift the cover from backplate.

If a top entry is required for the water pipe, then remove the top insert from the backplate (fig.8).

If a bottom entry is required for the cold water pipe, then a hole will need to be cut out of the trimplate

(fig.9).

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 to make the nut accessible for future adjustments.

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

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

After choosing the site for the shower, use the backplate as a template (fig.11) and mark the four fixing holes 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Note: If fixing to an installation with a top water entry point, mark the four fixing holes 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Drill and plug to suit the fixing screws supplied. (The wall plugs provided are suitable for most brick

walls – use an appropriate masonry drill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, use suitable wall plugs and an appropriate drill bit.)

Screw the two upper fixing screws into position leaving the base of the screw heads protruding 6 mm out from the wall.

Hook the backplate over the top screws and fit the lower fixing screw into position.

DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage, as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connections have been completed.

Note: A temporary factory fitted locking screw is fitted to the power selector spindle

(fig.16). This

is to make sure the spindle is held in Cold while the commissioning procedure is carried out.

DO NOT remove the locking screw before this procedure is completed.

Fig.11

Page 13

T90xr pumped electric shower

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.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

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 shower unit as heat can transfer along the pipework and can damage components.

Note: An additional gate valve or fullway lever valve must be fitted in the water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water supply should maintenance or servicing be necessary.

Procedure

Turn off water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve to the cistern. Drain the cistern.

IMPORTANT: The pipework must be brought direct from the cold water storage cistern with no other cold water draw-offs between the shower and the cistern.

IMPORTANT: Before completing the connection of the water supply to the inlet of the shower, 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 water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste.

Connect the water supply to the inlet of the shower via 15 mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe using a 15 mm x 15 mm elbow compression fitting. Do not use excessive force when making these connections.

Although the pipework connection to the shower is via 15 mm diameter pipework, on long runs use 22 mm diameter piping as far as possible to avoid restricting the flow to the shower.

Make sure that the backplate of the unit is flat on the wall and positioned squarely. Tighten the fixing screws.

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

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

Locate the trimplate to the two guides on the backplate and slide into position.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAINS.

Fig.12 shows a schematic wiring diagram.

The cable entry points are shown in

fig.1.

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.13) 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 make sure 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 current 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.

COMMISSIONING

The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris, and to ensure 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 and power selector set to the

Cold position.

To check that the temperature control is correctly positioned on the stabilising valve, temporarily place the cover in position so that the splines engage then rotate the temperature control fully anti-clockwise.

Remove the cover and position the temperature control so that it points towards ‘1’

(fig.14).

Position the power selector to the

Cold position

(fig.15).

DO NOT remove the locking screw fitted to the power selector spindle (fig.16) – it can be removed only when the commissioning procedure has been completed.

Make sure the water supply is still turned on to the shower.

Open the bleed screw on the pump unit (fig.17) by rotating one revolution. When water flows from the opening, this indicates that any trapped air is vented and that the pump unit is primed. The bleed valve must now be closed by rotating in the opposite direction.

Offer the cover to the backplate unit. Make sure the power selector is still at the Cold position and the temperature control is at ‘1’.

WARNING!

Do not switch on the electricity supply

until the commissioning procedure has

been completed and the cover has

been ﬁtted. Failure to do so could

cause the pump to run dry and

invalidate the guarantee.

Page 16

T90xr pumped electric shower

Note: Make sure the Start/Stop button is not depressed in the cover which indicates ‘start’. The button should be flush with the cover, otherwise water will flow as soon as the electricity is switched on.

Attached to the Stop/Start switch inside the cover is a two wire lead. The socket on the end of this lead must be connected to the plug that is situated at the bottom of the right-hand side of the backplate unit

(fig.18).

Note: The plug and socket can only fit one way.

Take care to ensure the flexible drip shield around the solenoid is positioned correctly (fig.19).

Replace the cover squarely to the backplate and guide into position so that the controls locate correctly into the spindles while at the same time, making sure the wires are not trapped.

Should any difficulty arise, recheck the points above.

Secure the cover temporarily in position with two retaining screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Switch on the mains electric supply to the shower at the isolating switch.

Press the Start/Stop button

(fig.20). The power

indicator will light and the pump starts to operate.

It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained while 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

(fig.21) to release any trapped air within

the unit.

Once flushing out has been completed, stop the water flow by pressing the Start/Stop button.

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO THE SHOWER AT THE ISOLATING SWITCH.

Unscrew the cover retaining screws again and lift the cover from the backplate.

Remove the locking screw from the power selector spindle

(fig.16) and store for future

use. Make sure the selector spindle is left in the same attitude.

OPERATING THE SHOWER

To start the shower

Pressing the Start/Stop button (fig.22) switches on the pump, allowing water to immediately flow through the unit.

To stop the shower

Press the Start/Stop button. This switches off the pump and the water flow will cease.

To use the power selector

The power selector (fig.22) has three settings: COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH.

The blue symbol

is COLD water only. Adjusting the temperature control at this setting will only increase or decrease the force of the

water from the showerhead. It will not alter the water temperature.

The red symbol

is the ECONOMY setting for using less energy during warmer months and any temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control.

The red symbol

is the HIGH power setting which allows the highest flow achievable for your preferred temperature. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control.

To adjust the shower temperature

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

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

To decrease the shower temperature

Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise towards the lower numbers; this will increase the water flow.

To increase the shower temperature

Turn the temperature control clockwise towards the higher numbers; this will decrease the water flow.

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 a few 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 while showering. Special consideration should be given to young children and the less able bodied.

W-002-A

WARNING!

After any servicing of mains water

supply, always ﬂush out the pipework

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Power on indicator (fig.23)

The power neon will light when the electrical supply to the unit is switched on. This indicates that power is on to the pump and power selector.

Low water pressure cut-out

Should the water pressure fall below the minimum required to operate the shower, power will be switched off to the heating elements preventing any maintained temperature rises.

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 enough, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the setting at the time of interruption.

Safety cut-out

The unit is fitted with a non-resettable overtemperature 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.

CLEANING

Triton Plc recommends that all products are cleaned using warm, soapy water.

DO NOT use abrasive or aggressive chemical cleaning products as this may affect the product surface finish and invalidate your guarantee.

CLEANING THE 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.

Remove the cover and disconnect the plug.

Note: Should debris be trapped on the shut off seat inside the valve, water will continue to flow out as the filter is removed. It is advisable to switch off the incoming water supply before removing the filter.

DO NOT rely on the filter shut off valve when carrying out repairs or service to other areas of the shower unit.

Unscrew the filter (fig.24) by turning anticlockwise. Remove the unit complete with the filter and wash under running water. Make sure all debris is removed.

Replace by pushing the unit back into its housing until the threads engage and then turn fully clockwise until tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Before replacing the cover, it is strongly advised to prime the unit by opening the bleed screw until water drains from it.

Close the bleed screw and connect the plug to the cover. Replace the cover and secure with the fixing screws.

Switch on the electric supply and start the shower on the

COLD SETTING ONLY and with the temperature control rotated fully anticlockwise.

When a smooth flow of water is obtained, the shower can then be used in the normal manner.
