STEAMIST SM-11 Steambath Generators Instruction Manual

STEAMIST SM-11 Steambath Generators

Electrical Installation Instructions

WARNING : Elderly persons, pregnant women, or those suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or who are otherwise not in good health, do not use this device unless directed to do so by a physician. Also, do not use steam bath while under the influence of alcohol
IMPORTANT : the warranty of this product is voided if it is used in a commercial application or for anything other than a residential steambath installation. All electrical connections must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with Local and National Electric Codes.

The Steamist “SM” generator operates with one or two controls appropriately located inside and/or outside the steam room. It’s small enough in size to be tucked away using very little space in a vanity, closet, basement, or insulated attic, but large enough to provide steam for most residential baths.
The Steamist “SM” Steambath Generator comes factory-assembled carefully wired and tested.
NOTE : The TC-110, TC-135, DSC-425, and DSP Controls are designed to work with all Steamist “SM” Generators.

Pre-Installation

• Proper electrical supply (208 or 240 Volt): See the rating label on the Steam Generator and Chart on the back page. Determine the proper size of wire, voltage, amperage, and phase for the Steam Generator. Only UL rated 90°C wire can be used.
• In-line fuse/circuit breaker required: The fuse/circuit breaker to be installed must be sized by the chart on the back page. Do NOT install a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) to this equipment (per article 210-8 in the National Electric Code).
• Route the power supply cable to the location where the Steam Generator will be installed (before the walls are closed).

Electrical Rough-In

• Route appropriate power cable to the location the Steam Generator will be installed. If a receptacle is desired, mount the box for the receptacle near the location of the Steam Generator (See Figure 3: Typical Installation).
  NOTE : The plug and receptacle require a rating of no less than 250V and proper amperage. Refer to the chart on page 4 for the amperage rating.
  After the walls are complete, the Steam Generator and Control can be wired.

Steam Generator Electrical Installation

WARNING: All power to the steam generator must be turned off.

• Remove the six screws holding the electrical access cover and remove the cover.
• Locate the supply line knockout. Mount proper strain relief into the knockout hole.
• Strip back the power cable’s outer insulation jacket eight inches and insert it into the steam generator. Strip back insulation ½” from the three (3) incoming wires (two power and one ground).
• Connect the incoming ground wire to a floating green pigtail labeled “GND.”
• CAUTION: Be sure the ground wire does not come in contact with a live electrical part.
• Connect incoming power to floating black pigtail leads labeled “L1” and “L2.” (See illustration: Figure 2. Internal Electrical Connections).

Optional Auto Drain Valve Connection

• Open knockout for Auto Drain Valve conduit connection.
• Route flexible conduit from valve to knockout and secure.
• Connect two wires from the valve to the two place terminal strips provided (See Figure 2).

Checklist

Before starting, insure that the conditions of the following checklist have been met:

• The proper size Steam Generator has been selected by using the sizing page in the “Full Line Brochure,” “Pricing Guide,” or “The Generator Sizing Guide” in the Residen-tial Systems/Steambath Product Information section of the Steamist web site – www.steamist.com.
  CAUTION : An improperly sized Steam Generator will NOT produce the amount of steam necessary to reach selected temperature.

• The proper voltage Steam Generator has been selected (i.e., 208V or 240V). A 208V generator operating on 240V will damage the heating element and a 240V Generator operating on 208V will result in a 25% loss of power.

• The Steam Generator is installed in an upright position.

• The proper sized 90°C wire and circuit breaker have been used.

• The circuit breaker is NOT a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) type.

• The Steam Generator is properly grounded.

• The circuit breaker or disconnect switch is on.

• Water Supply is open to the Steam Generator.

IMPORTANT : Run the Control Cable through a ¾” conduit. Remove protective cap when making the final connection to Control.
