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.

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.

Installation - SITING OF THE SHOWER

SITING OF THE SHOWER

The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations/Bylaws - see page 2 for

water specifications

• If it is intended to operate the shower at

pressures above the maximum or below the minimum stated, contact Customer Service for advice.

• If the stated flow rates are 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 the economy power setting to achieve your preferred shower temperature.

Fig.5 shows a typical system layout.

NOTE: The control knobs are an integral part of

the cover. Do not attempt to remove them.

• Lift the cover from the backplate.

• Refer to (fig.6) for the 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.

• Mark out entry points and routing of the

water and electric supplies into the shower.

Fig.5

Diagrammatic view (not to scale)

Continued

SECTION

IMPORTANT: Water regulations (fig.6)

• 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. This may cause the PRD to operate.

• When commissioning, the showerhead

must be removed from the flexible hose. Failure to follow this procedure may cause the PRD to operate.

• Make sure the shower is positioned over a

bath or shower tray. 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.

Installation - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

PLUMBING INSTALLATION

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 damage components.

• Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet of the shower (fig.7). (Push-on fittings must NOT be used as full engagement cannot be guaranteed).

• If installing a feed pipe from the back or

bottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is 21mm (fig.7).

NOTE: If entry is from the back, the nut of the compression fitting will be partially behind the surface of the wall. This area MUST be left clear when plastering and tiling around the pipework in order to make the nut accessible for future adjustments.

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 supply should maintenance or servicing be necessary.

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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: Switch off the electricity supply at the mains before proceeding.

• The supply cable MUST be secured either by

routing through conduit, in trunking, or by embedding in the wall, in accordance with IEE regulations.

NOTE: Conduit entry can only be from rear.

NOTE: Deviations from the designated entry

points will invalidate product approvals. The cable entry points are listed on page 3.

• Seal around rear entry cable to prevent water

ingress into the wall.

Pipe/Electrical access points - (fig.8)

The two shower trimplates have been designed with four ‘cut out’ bottom pipe access points, two of which may be used for electrical cable access.

Only the two labelled as ‘Electrical entry Cut outs’ are approved electrical entry ‘cut out’ sections on either trimplate.

The backplate has a removable top trim that can be used for either electrical or pipe entry.

The cover has two small sections that may be removed if a side pipe entry is required.

• Decide which entry points are to be used for the water pipe entry and electrical cable entry.

• Once chosen, remove either the appropriate trim, or if ‘cut outs’ have been chosen, remove them using a junior hacksaw, file or appropriate knife.

PLEASE NOTE: NONE of the 'cut outs' are

designed to 'snap out'. ONLY a junior hacksaw, file,

or suitable knife should be used. Excessive damage

to the backplate or lower trimplate outside the

prescribed areas marked in (fig.8) may invalidate

product specifications and warranty.

Fixing holes

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 when

using power tools.

• Temporarily connect the mains water supply

to the inlet of the shower using a 15mm x 15mm compression fitting.

• Use the backplate as a template making sure

it is level and mark the fixing holes (fig.9). The top and one of the bottom two fixing holes should be sufficient to hold the shower.

• Remove the unit from the wall. Drill and

plug the wall.

(An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the

wall is plasterboard or a soft building block, appropriate wall plugs should be fitted).

• Screw the top fixing screw into position

leaving the base of the screw head protruding 6mm out from the wall.

• Hook the backplate over the top screw and

fit the bottom fixing screws into position, but DO NOT fully tighten the screws at this stage. The fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connection has been completed.

• Connect the mains water supply to the inlet

DO NOT use excessive force when making the connection.

• 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: A suitable sealant should always be used to seal around the incoming pipework to prevent water entering the wall.

Continued

SECTION

• Route the cable into the shower unit for

connection to the terminal block (fig.10) as follows:

Earth cable to terminal marked

Neutral cable to terminal marked N

Live cable to terminal marked L

• Once the cables have been installed the two

trimplates will need to be fitted.

• (fig.11) shows a schematic wiring diagram.

IMPORTANT: When connecting the cable 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 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 shower cover has been fitted.

NOTE: The elements on UK models are to 240V specification and will give a lower kW rating if the voltage supply is below 240V.

WARNING

Before normal operation of the shower, it

is essential the following commissioning

procedure is completed correctly.

COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Failure to turn the control to the minimum flow position MAY cause the PRD to operate.

1. Before turning on the electric and mains

water supplies to the shower, make sure that the power selector is at the ‘COLD‘ position and the temperature control is turned to fully clockwise to ‘MINIMUM’ flow (fig.17).

2. Turn on the mains water supply to the shower

at the isolating stopvalve and then turn on the electric supply to the shower at the isolating switch.

3. Press the Start/Stop button (fig.17) and

wait until water starts to flow from the flexible hose.

4. Slowly rotate the temperature control fully anti-clockwise to the MAXIMUM flow

position (fig.18). It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained while air and any debris is flushed from the shower.

• When a smooth flow of water is obtained,

rotate the temperature control from MINIMUM to MAXIMUM several times to release any trapped air within the unit.

• Once flushing out has been completed, stop

the water flow by pressing the Start/Stop button.

• Fit the showerhead to the flexible hose and

place in the showerhead holder.

The shower is now ready for normal operation.

USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

check list

SECTION

OPERATING THE SHOWER - (fig.19)

Make sure the commissioning procedure has been carried out.

To start the shower

• Press the Start/Stop button and water will flow.

To stop the shower

• Press the Start/Stop button and water will

cease to flow.

• After stopping the unit MUST be isolated via

the 45amp isolating switch.

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 three positions - COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH.

Cold setting - single blue line.

• Cold: the cold setting does not provide any

heat from the heater can to the incoming water.

Economy setting - single red line.

• Economy: uses only one of the elements

within the heater can.

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.

High Setting - double red lines.

• High: uses both of the elements within the

heater can.

IMPORTANT: it will take a few seconds for the temperature to stabilise once changes have been made.

To adjust the shower temperature Economy and High settings only

• The water temperature is altered by increasing

or decreasing the flow rate of the water through the shower via the temperature control (ﬁ g.19).

• After obtaining your showering temperature,

the knob can be left as the normal setting and should only need altering to compensate for seasonal changes in ambient water temperature.

NOTE: The preferred knob position on ECONOMY will give a different temperature to the same 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 make the water colder.

To increase the shower temperature

• Turn the temperature control clockwise - this will decrease the flow of water through the shower and make the water hotter.

NOTE: It is advisable 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.

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.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Power on indicator (ﬁ g.20)

When the electricity supply to the shower is switched on at the isolating switch, the neon in the START/STOP button will illuminate.

TP – Temperature Protection

During normal operation if the temperature exceeds the showering safety limit the power to the elements will be removed completely, although water will continue to flow. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the settings at the time of interruption.

Abnormal Safety cut-out

The unit is fitted with a non-resettable 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.

Low pressure indicator (ﬁ g.20)

If this indicator is on, this means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, resulting in the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches off power to the heating elements preventing any undue temperature rises (water will continue to flow). Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLERS AND SERVICE ENGINEERS ONLY

Instructions for installers and service engineers only

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.

IMPORTANT: Before servicing, switch off the electricity supply at the mains.

• Switch off the water supply at the isolator valve.

• The inlet filter is situated inside the water inlet

fitting (ﬁ g.21).

• To gain access to the filter remove the cover.

• Remove the retaining screw.

• Turn the filter fitting anti-clockwise and

remove from the housing.

• Inspect the ‘O’ ring for damage when the

filter is removed.

• 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.

• To reassemble, follow the procedure in reverse.

• Make sure that the sealing ‘O’ ring is in place

and DO NOT over tighten the retaining screw on reassembly.

Full commissioning procedure will need to be

performed after cleaning of the filter - see page

GENERAL ADVICE TO USERS

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

a. 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 can which determines the water temperature. (The slower the flow, the hotter the water becomes; the faster the flow, the cooler the water).

b. During winter, the mains water supply will be

cooler than in the summer. The flow rate will vary between seasons at any one temperature setting. At different times of the year you may have to adjust the position of the temperature control to maintain your desired temperature setting.

c. 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.

NOTE: 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.

IMPORTANT ADVICE TO USERS

COMISSIONING ADVICE

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.

ADVISORY - CLEANING

It is recommended 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.
