INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Rough In Steam Line (not supplied)

• Prior to steam head installation, Install rough plumbing line to desired location. The steam head must be installed to a ¾” NPT copper or brass pipe; do NOT use black iron or galvanized pipe, it will rust and discolor the steam bath wall. Do NOT use plastic supply pipes or fittings.
  NOTE: Supply elbow and steam supply pipe MUST BE SECURELY ANCHORED to ridged blocking.

• The 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.

Steam Head Installation

1. Make sure the 3/4” nipple protrudes beyond the tile ¼” to ½” (6-12 mm).

2. Keep opening in finished wall close as possible to pipe nipple with no more than 1/2” gap.
   IMPORTANT: If the nipple protrudes beyond ½” the O-ring will not make a proper seal and the nipple will have to be adjusted.

3. Wrap the threads of the nipple with plumber’s tape or use pipe sealant.

4. Make sure the steam head will line up in the upright position when tightened. The steam head should only be firmly hand tight. Using a wrench on the head may damage it. Screw the steam head on to the nipple and see how it lines up. Once a proper alignment is made remove the steam head.

  *  **NOTE:** The steam head has been designed with a 360 degree dispersion of steam to improve steam circulation and to minimize the hotspots created with the traditional steam heads. For maximum comfort the steam head should always be located as far from the seating area as possible. Should the location of the steam head necessitate blocking the steam from a particular direction to improve bather comfort, the supplied deflector plate can be added to any of the three sides shown to help divert the steam away from the bather. The deflector is attached to the back side of the head before installation with 2 stainless steel screws provided. (See Option Installation, Deflector section on next page).
  *  **NOTE:** If necessary the head can be repositioned by disassembling the hub from the cover and selecting one of the two alternate positions.
  1. Re-apply sealant tape if necessary.
  2. Place a bead of silicone around the pipe, sealing the pipe to the wall.
  3. Place a bead of silicone around the back outer edge of the back plate.
  4. Center and square the back plate over the nipple. While holding the head in place, attach the nipple by hand tightening the screws to the head.
  5. Adjust the back plate and head to line up squarely. Remove any excess silicone with rubbing alcohol.

Optional Installation

• IMPORTANT: A silicone boot is provided and should be installed to protect against accidental contact with the hot surface temperature of the steam head, which can reach approximately 212° during operation.

• If needed to improve bather comfort the included optional steam deflector can be installed to block the flow of steam from any of the shown sides of the steam head.

EP103314p & EP103315p STEAMBATH CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: “Steam bath important safety instructions” publication 114317 includes a warning label that the contractor must install on the wall near the entrance to the steam room in a highly visible location. This label and its additional safety information are packaged with the generator packaging containing the installation instructions. If it is lost or missing contact: customer support (1-800-394-6478) for replacement instructions. This publication, along with all documents, must be left with the owner.

Control Features

   IMPORTANT: This control must be installed inside the steam room for proper operation of the system.
   Cleaning instructions: Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners which might scratch the surface or the base of the control.

Installation

1. Pre-Installation – Control Location
   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.

2. Electrical Rough-in
   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.

3. Control and Cable Installation

   • 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).

   • 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.

   • Remove the protective cap from the multi-conductor cable plug. Connect the cable to the modular jack.

   • Close and secure generator cover.

   • 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.

   • Peel adhesive liner from back of the control. Apply the control to the wall. Press firmly and hold for a few seconds.

   • 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 but-ton.

• Programming: Adjustments can be made to temperature and cycle time while a cycle is started. When the temperature is displayed, the set tempera-ture 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 oc-curs, 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.
