Advice to Users
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.
The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a) Temperature/flow rate
The temperature control can be adjusted to provide
shower temperatures between 35°C and 47°C.
Alternatively, adjusting a temperature stop
mechanism inside the unit to 38°C, 41°C or 43°C
maximum can restrict the shower temperature.
Important
mark requirements (use in healthcare or
special needs environment) the Safeguard T100 Care unit is factory set at 41°C (see
page 21) on how to adjust the MAXIMUM
temperature stop.
At a selected showering temperature the unit
will provide the optimum flow rate possible.
Note the maximum flow rate for the given
temperature will be greater in the summer
than in the winter because of the variance in
the ambient mains water supply.
Should water pressure/flow to the shower be
insufficient for optimum performance then
the unit will operate at a reduced power level
and provide the highest flow rate possible for
the given shower temperature.
b) Temperature stabilisation
The shower will maintain temperature in
accordance with the BEAB care mark.
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
Warning!
This appliance must be earthed
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.

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.6) 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.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the
shower to access the cover top screws.
IMPORTANT: Water regulations
It is required that the showerhead be
‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment so
that it can only discharge water at a point not less
than 25mm above the spill-over level of the relevant
bath, shower tray or other fixed appliance’.
If the riser kit is supplied with a ‘soapdish hose
retainer’ or bespoke ‘hose retainer’, it will in most
cases meet this requirement. If the showerhead
can still be placed within a bath, basin or shower
tray within the 25mm limit, then a double check
valve, or similar, MUST be fitted in the supply
pipework to prevent back-flow.
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 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.
WARNING
The shower MUST NOT be positioned where
it will be subjected to freezing conditions.
Fig.6 Diagrammatic view (not to scale)
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.
I-002-A
13
Fitting the Shower to the Wall
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.7) and lift the cover from the
backplate.
Entry positions for the mains water and electric
cable are from the top, bottom, or from the
back.
Note: Deviations from the designated entry
points will invalidate product approvals.
If bottom entry has been chosen, fit the
appropriate cut-out in the top of the backplate
(fig.8).
If top entry has been chosen, fit the appropriate
cut-out in the bottom of the cover (fig.9).
After choosing the site for the shower, use the
Installation Template supplied to mark the three
fixing holes, the position of which are shown in
(fig.7).
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).
Screw the top fixing screw into position leaving
the base of the screw head protruding 6 mm out
from the wall.
Hook the backplate over the top screw and fit the
other 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.

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 travel along 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,
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 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe
using a 15mm x 15mm compression fitting, see
(fig.10) for advice on Rear Entry fitting.
Fig.10
21 mm
105 mm
Soldered
Elbow
Note: If installing a feed pipe from the
back, the use of a soldered Elbow connector
is recommended. It should be positioned
approximately 105 mm from the inlet
connector centre. The centre of the inlet
valve to the wall surface is 21 mm.
15
The Inlet fitting is designed to rotate through
180o to allow for either Top or Bottom/Rear entry
fitting (fig.11).
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 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.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.
Important: Using a suitable sealant, always
seal around the incoming pipework to prevent
water entering the wall.
Important: The Inlet Fitting Must be
used in the Bottom fitting position for
Rear fitting. Under NO circumstances
must the Inlet be rotated 900 and the
pipe fitted directly. The shower has not
been designed for this method of
connection. See below.

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
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 IEE
regulations.
The use of connections within the unit, or other
points in the shower circuit, to supply power to
unspecified equipment other than that listed on page12, will invalidate the guarantee.
DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until
the cover has been fitted.

sends a signal to the transformer to supply DC
voltage to the pump.
When the shower is turned off, a signal is sent
to the transformer and after a preset time delay
stops the supply of DC voltage to the pump.
(Please refer to the relevant Pump manufacturers
installation instructions for full details of operation).
Warning!
The pump is a non-gravity installation.
It is advised that where the property is
left unattended for an extended period
of time, that the water supply to the
shower is shut off.

Commissioning
The first operation of the shower is intended to
flush out any remaining unit debris and to make
sure the heater unit contains water before the
elements are switched on.
Temporarily fit the cover to the unit making sure
that the connector is NOT plugged into the PCB
fitted in the shower (fig.15).
Temporarily fitting the cover
For ease of access to the Inlet fitting the right
hand side of the shower has a removable Side
plate. This MUST be fitted before the cover to
stop any water penitration of the shower during
the Commissioning procedure (fig.16).
Once the Side plate is fitted offer the cover to
the unit.
Guide the cover into position so that the
Temperature control spindle locates correctly
(minor adjustment may be necessary to align the
control and spindle). Secure the cover in position
with the three retaining screws.
Fit the flexible hose to the shower outlet making
sure the outlet of the hose is directed to waste.
Check that the supplied sealing washer is in
place.
DO NOT attach the showerhead at this stage.
Turn on the water supply to the shower at the
isolating stopvalve. Switch on the electricity
supply to the shower at the isolating switch.
Wait until water starts to flow from the flexible
hose.
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.
Once the flushing out has been completed,
switch off the electricity to the shower at the
isolating switch. The water will cease to flow.
Unscrew the top and bottom retaining screws
again and lift the cover from the backplate.
Note: Removal of power to the PCB is the only
way to exit the Commissioning Mode.

Adjusting the Maximum temperature
stop between 35°C and 47°C
The temperature control valve has an adjustable
maximum temperature stop mechanism that is
supplied factory set for 41°C (fig.17) - this is to
comply with the *BEAB CARE MARK.
To select a lower or *higher maximum
temperature stop setting remove the locking
screw from the mechanism and rotate the
mechanism to the preferred setting point to align
with the screw fixing point. Insert the locking
screw through the temperature setting label and
lock in place (fig.18 - 20).
Note:
When comissioning the safeguard T100
care, please refer to pages 31 - 32 and
make sure that the appropriate sections
are completed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
*BEAB care mark specification states a
MAXIMUM of 41°c outlet temperature.
if the shower is adjusted above the
maximum 41°c the product falls outside
the official BEAB care mark specification.

Replacing the Cover
DIP Switch Settings
A four way DIP switch block is mounted on the
control PCB that allows the user to configure the
shower to perform different functions (fig.21).
Attached to the display PCB, inside the cover, is a
10-way ribbon cable. The ribbon cable connector
must be plugged into the socket located at the
right of the power PCB situated inside the unit
(fig.22).
Note: The cable connector can be fitted to
the socket only one way. The ribbon cable has
a coloured edge which is at the bottom when
correctly fitted to the socket.
Note: The ribbon cable is preformed to fold flat
when the cover is fitted.
Important: Before finally fitting the cover,
the following steps must be taken:
a. Check all plumbing connections are
watertight.
b. Check terminal block screws are fully
tightened.
c. Make sure pipe and cable entering the unit
do not prevent the cover locating correctly
to the backplate.
Offer the cover to the unit.
Guide into position so that the knob spindle
locates correctly (minor adjustment may be
necessary to align the knob and spindle). Should
any difficulty arise, recheck the points above.
While applying slight pressure to the cover,
secure in position with the three retaining screws.
Turn the electric supply back on at the isolating
switch. The ‘Power’ indicator will light. No water
will flow now until the Start/Stop bar is pressed.
However, it is recommended that the water and
electric supplies to the shower are turned off
while the riser rail kit is being installed.
The flexible hose can be left attached to the
shower outlet. Make sure the supplied sealing
washer is fitted.

Notes for commissioning and in-service testing
1. Measuring the Shower Outlet Water
Temperature
With the shower running, position the
showerhead horizontally and place a funnel
under the water flow. Make sure that the
funnel mouth collects all of the water emitted
from the showerhead. Take a reading using
a temperature probe in the collected water
flowing from the outlet of the funnel.
Typical dimensions of a suitable funnel are:
Opening diameter: 110mm,
Throat diameter: 15mm.
2. Measuring the Heated Water from
Shower Outlet
After resetting the shower to the default
setting (press the ‘Start’ bar on the shower
cover) measure using the method described
in (1.) above.
3. Measurement of Heated Water from
the - Shower Outlet when Restricting
the - Mains Water Supply
Progressively restrict the inlet water flow to
the unit using the service valve (see page 6)
until the ‘Low’ LED comes on (on the cover)
and the shower shuts down with no water
flow from the showerhead. Open the service
valve slightly and restart the shower using
the Stop/Start button. Record the resulting
outlet water temperature using the method
described in (1.) above. If this exceeds 43°C
withdraw the shower from service and call
Customer Service on 0844 980 0750.
Note: The service valve should be returned
to the fully open position after this test.
4. Measurement of Supply Voltage at
Appliance Terminals
Switch off the electricity at the mains supply
and remove the circuit fuse. Remove the
shower cover, taking care to position it so
that it does not hang by the interconnecting
ribbon cable.
Replace the circuit fuse and switch on the
electrical mains supply. Take the AC voltage
reading across the Live and Neutral screws of
the mains terminal block.
Take care NOT to touch any other internal
components of the shower. Switch off the
electricity at the mains supply, remove the
circuit fuse and replace the cover using the
screws supplied.
Note: This test should only be performed by
a suitably qualified engineer.
5. When the Set Maximum Outlet Water
Temperature has Changed Significantly
If the set maximum outlet water temperature
has changed significantly from the previous
test results (greater than ±1°C), check:
a. That the outlet fittings (showerhead/shower
hose) are free from restrictions and limescale.
b. That the inlet filter of the shower is free from
debris (see page 25).
c. That in-line check valves or other back-flow
prevention devices are in good working
order.
d. Any isolating valves on the water main
supplying the unit are fully opened.
If, after making the above checks, an
acceptable outlet water temperature is not
achieved withdraw the shower from service
and contact Triton Customer Care on
0844 980 0750.
