SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To prevent personal injury and/or product damage, please read the following important safety instructions carefully before installing the ChromaSteam3

• Do not install the ChromaSteam3 controller near any heat sources.
• Clearance and minimum distance between the various components of the ChromaSteam3 and the surrounding structure are not specified as long as they are sufficient so that the ambient temperature around the apparatus does not exceed 140 °F (60 °C).
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized and/or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cords from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where the cords exit from the apparatus.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• All servicing to be performed by qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the ChromaSteam3 is damaged in any way, including when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid is spilled into or objects fall into the controller, the controller is exposed to rain or moisture, the fixture or controller does not operate normally, or the fixture or controller is dropped.
• Do not disassemble or alter the ChromaSteam3 fixture or controller in any way.
• Clean the ChromaSteam3 fixture and controller with a dry cloth only. Beware of the application of some products commonly used against corrosion (such as WD-40® family products), as some industrial oils can have negative chemical reactions and damage the housing materials of the ChromaSteam3 fixture and controller. Any other materials that may come in contact with the ChromaSteam3 must be carefully evaluated under end-use conditions for compatibility

WARNING
These instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing, other than that contained in these instructions.

Installing the ChromaSteam3 Fixture

Fixture Dimensions

Installing the Junction Box

Functions of the Junction Box:

1. Allows precisely location of the ChromaSteam3 fixture within the steam room ceiling.
2. Provides a secure and easily identifiable holder for the control cable while the steam room is being constructed.
3. Works with the ChromaSteam3 fixture’s retention springs to prevent the fixture from falling and injuring a person in the enclosure.

Locating the Fixture:

1. Locate the fixture in a location for optimal lighting within the enclosure.
2. ChromaSteam3 is for mood lighting only. Not to be used as a primary lighting source.
3. Do not locate the fixture in direct shower spray, near direct steam emission, or in any location where a lighting fixture may be damaged.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum distance between the two fixtures is 10 feet.

To Install the Junction Box:

1. Remove the two screws from the interior clips of the junction box, and hand-screw them into the wings of the junction box (Figure 7).
   

2. Remove one of the four knockouts from the junction box (Figure 7). the resulting hole will allow routing of the 30-foot control cable or Duo cable into the junction box..

3. Locate the two tabs on the junction box, and line them up against a ceiling joist. The tabs locate the junction box proud of (slightly raised from) the joist. Screw the two screws into the ceiling joist to secure the junction box (Figure 8).
   

4. Route one end of the 30-foot control cable or one of the longer ends of the Duo cable (with a yellow flag stating “To Fixture”) through the knockout into the junction box, and fasten it to one of the interior clips to hold it in place (Figure 9). Note that both longer ends of the 30- foot control cable are the same.
   
   IMPORTANT NOTE : Contact MrSteam to purchase an optional 60-foot cable (Part No. 104268-60).
   NOTICE
   

   • Route cable as required to permit replacement.
