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

• Do not install the ChromaSteamX controller near any heat sources.
• Clearance and minimum distance between the various components of the ChromaSteamX 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 ChromaSteamX 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 ChromaSteamX fixture or controller in any way.
• Clean the ChromaSteamX 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 ChromaSteamX fixture and controller. Any other materials that may come in contact with the ChromaSteamX must be carefully evaluated under end-use conditions for compatibility.

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 ChromaSteamX Fixture

Fixture Dimensions Installing the Junction Box
Functions of the Junction Box:

1. Allows precisely location of the ChromaSteamX 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 ChromaSteamX fixture’s retention springs to prevent the fixture from falling and injuring a person in the enclosure.

Locating the Fixture:

1. Locate the fixture for optimal lighting within the enclosure.
2. ChromaSteamX 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.

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 LED power cable.
3. Locate the two tabs on the junction box, and line them up against a ceiling joist. The tabs locate the junction box 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 LED power cable 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 ends of the 30-foot LED power cable are the same.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Contact MrSteam to purchase an optional 60-foot cable (Part No. 104268-60).

• Be careful not to strain, staple, pinch, or otherwise damage the cable.
• Route cable as required to permit replacement.
• Cable should be run in dedicated conduit to facilitate installation, service, and replacement.
• To prevent damage to the cable, do not route cable close to hot water, steam piping, or any heat source.

5.  After the junction box is completely installed, ensure that you create an opening in the steam room ceiling that aligns with the junction box (Figure 10).

• Installation to be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician.
• Shock Hazard. Ensure that power is turned off during installation. Turn off power at breaker panel.

Failure to use the junction box with correctly installed retention springs may result in the ChromaSteamX fixture falling and causing injury.
