Read all instructions prior to installation.
CAUTION
Failure to read these instructions prior to installation may result in
personal injury, property damage, or product failure. Manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for product failure due to improper installation.
You may need:
IMPORTANT: To use the bilateral steam head, make sure the steam room wall
studs are exposed to allow for proper installation. If the walls are fully
finished and studs are not accessible, please use a different type steam head.
NOTE: For maximum comfort the bilateral steam head should always be
located as far from the seating area as possible.
-
The bilateral steam head location should be 12” to 18” above the shower floor or 6” above the rim of the bathtub, as far from the seating area as possible. Do NOT install the steam head directly below the user control. For optimum performance, install the steam head on the wall opposite or adjacent and as far as possible from the user control.
-
Rough in the steam line using a minimum of a ¾” copper or brass pipe. Do NOT use black iron or galvanized pipe as it will rust and discolor the wall of the steam room. Do NOT use CPVC or any plastic type pipe, fitting or water type line as the steam pipe.
-
Place the bilateral steam head between wall studs (See Figure 2). Make sure that the front lip is placed in such way that it will be flush with the final wall material such as tile or stone (See Figure 4). If you are uncertain of the tile/stone thickness at the time of install, the front lip of the steam head may be slightly recessed back into the wall but must NOT be placed behind backer board and cannot protrude past front of tile (See Figure 3).
-
Make sure the bilateral steam head is level, left to right and front to back (See Figure 2).
-
Secure the bilateral steam head to wall studs using 8 screws or nails.
-
Connect the ¾” copper or brass pipe to the bilateral steam head.
-
Remove the front face cover by sliding it out of the bilateral steam head.
-
Proceed with steam room construction by insulating the walls and installing backer board onto the wall. Make sure to leave a proper size cutout in the backer board for the bilateral steam head. Do NOT leave a large gap between the backer board and the bilateral steam head.
-
Apply supplied sealant between the backer board and the outer edge of the bilateral steam head (See Figure 3).
-
Complete the wall construction with thinset and tile/stone. Make sure to leave a proper size cutout in the tile/stone for the bilateral steam head. Do NOT leave a large gap between the tile/stone and the bilateral steam head.
-
Apply supplied sealant between the tile/stone and the outer edge of the bilateral steam head (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Make sure there are absolutely no air gaps between the outer edges of the bilateral steam head and the final wall material. If air gaps are left, steam will leak between wall construction and cause water damage to foundation. -
Insert front face cover back into the bilateral steam head. Push it in until it makes contact with the wall.
-
Apply dabs of supplied sealant between the left and right edges of the front face cover and the wall tile/stone to make sure the cover does not slide out (See Figure 4).
NOTE: A single bead of sealant can fill gaps up to 1/4”. If the gap is slightly larger than this, fill it in two steps. First place a bead of sealant deeper into the gap, but not flush with surface. Wait until the sealant is completely cured before coming back to run a second bead on top of the first bead (See Figure 3). -
Cure time of the supplied sealant: 1/4” gap = 5 days, 1/2” gap = 10 days.

Installation
-
Pre-Installation – Control Location
a. The Control must be installed inside the steam room and not above the steam head. For convenience the recommended height from the floor is four feet. Provide a 1½” hole in the wall at this location (see Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Multi-conductor cable must be installed so that the end will not be buried inside the wall. The unit will not operate unless the control is installed. -
Electrical Rough-in
a. Locate the multi-conductor cable. Carefully route the multi-conductor control cable from the steam generator to the control located inside the steamroom (see Figure 1). Route multi-conductor cable through a ¾” conduit to protect the cable from damage. -
Control and Cable Installation
a. Locate the previously installed cable and black plastic strain relief clamp which is in the control packing box. Locate the knockout on the steam generator for the control cable (see Figure 2).
b. Place strain relief around cable about seven inches from the end and insert into the hole. Remove the protective covering labeled “Remove Before Installation” from the modular jack found on the PC board.
c. Remove the protective cap from the multi-conductor cable plug. Connect the cable to the modular jack.
d. Close and secure generator cover.
e. Locate Telco Jack at female coupler, on back of the control. Remove the protective covering labeled “Remove Before Installation”.
Remove protective cap from cable and plug into jack. Check that the orientation of the plug properly aligns with the jack. A snap will indicate the plug is installed correctly (see Figure 3).
WARNING
Test the control for operation before continuing on to the next step.
f. Peel adhesive liner from back of the control. Apply the control to the wall. Press firmly and hold for a few seconds.
g. After the control is in place, apply silicone (supplied) around the control to form a watertight seal (see Figure 3).
Operating Instructions
Operation: Make sure the water and power are turned on. Simply press User
1 or User 2 button to begin the cycle. Press the Stop button to end the cycle.
After a cycle is started it will take a few minutes for the Steam Generator to
heat up and begin producing steam. This time will be less if the RapidMist has
been turned on. During operation the display will show the ambient
temperature.To view the remaining cycle time, press the Menu button.
Programming: Adjustments can be made to temperature and cycle time while
a cycle is started. When the temperature is displayed, the set temperature can
be viewed or changed by momentarily pressing the up or down button.
Temperature adjustments made when User 1 cycle is started will be saved to
User 1 and likewise for User 2.
All changes made to the temperature control are stored in memory until changed
again.
The temperature range is 60°F to 125°F (16°C to 52°C). While a cycle is
running, pressing the Menu button will show the remaining cycle time and this
can be adjusted with the up or down buttons.
This time adjustment is only for remaining time of the current steam bath
cycle.
Default Time Setting: The default time is programmed when the cycle is
off using the Menu button. Any adjustments made to time, when the cycle is
off, are stored as the new default time for both users.
RapidMist Setting: The RapidMist feature can be turned on or off when the
steam cycle is in the off mode. To adjust this setting, press the Menu button
until you see the Water Icon, press the Up or Down button to change this
setting. Display “On” or “Off” will appear. RapidMist keeps the steam
generator warm, for a faster heat up.
Fahrenheit or Celsius setting: To change this setting, while the steam
cycle is off, press the Menu button until you see an “F” or “C” in the
display.
Use the up or down button to change the displayed letter, to correspond to
your temperature choice. Press the Stop button to exit the Menu mode.
Your last setting will be saved.
NOTE: The EP103314 & EP103315 controls operate and install the same way.
The only difference between them is the physical shape.
Additional Features
Memory: The temperature set points for User 1, User 2, the default time,
and the selection of RapidMist and other settings are retained even if there
is a power failure.
Service Mode: To enter the service mode press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds, until a blue dot lights up in the display. The control is now
in the service mode. There are two features in the service mode. Pressing the
up arrow displays the program version, pressing the down arrow, restores to
factory default.
Error Messages: This control is programmed with a diagnostic feature to
help isolate any potential problems. Errors are displayed by flashing an “Er”
followed by a 2 digit number. The first digit is the device number. Zero for
the control and 1-4 for the generators. The second digit is the error code for
that device. Error message “Er 01”, “Er 02”, and “Er 04” indicate a problem
internal to the control. If this occurs, the control should be replaced.
Error messages “Er 03” means the control could not communicate with a steam
generator and may be a cable connection problem. If this error occurs, check
both ends of the control cable for clean, dry and secure connections. Dirty
contacts can be cleaned with alcohol and a cotton swab or a toothbrush.
This can also happen if the control is not sealed and the cable connections
get wet.
Also make sure the generator is not in test mode.
Try resetting the breaker. Generator error codes are not covered in this
document.
