Electrical fitter
All installation and inspection procedures must be carried out by an approved
electrician and in accordance with VDE 0100 Part 701 and IEC 60364-7-701.
Electrical connection
Mains supply 230V/N/PE/50Hz (3×1.5mm² length 0.5m). For electrical
installation, all applicable VDE, country-specifi c, and EVU regulations in
their respective valid versions must be observed. Potential equalization is
required at the site (4mm², cable length 1m).
Leakage current protection device
The fusing must be conducted via a leakage current protection device (RCD/FI)
with a measuringdiff essential power of 30 mA.
Installation zones electrical systems in accordance with VDE0100 part 701
- Arrangement and cable installation.
Fasteners
- Only use the proper fasteners! The included screws and dowels are only suitable for concrete.
For cleaning see, illustration 5
Drain capacity
The draining capacity must be at least 50 l/min.
Installation of the basic set display
-
Plaster in the basic set display, or install a wall covering if installed in front of the wall.
-
After the plastered wall surface has dried, spray the seam between the wall and the plastic casing with silicone (free of acetic acid!).
-
Coat the wall with PCI-Lastogum or a comparable sealing compound as instructed by the manufacturer.
-
Place the sealing collar over the plastic casing and press it into the glue and the silicone.
-
The sealing sleeve (F page 24) must not be heat-sealed
Repair
- Only by Hansgrohe qualified personnel or persons or companies designated by Hansgrohe.
