WARNING: Failure to read this guide prior to installing your COLDBUSTER
heater(s) may result in installation problems that could void your heater
warranty. 
Single Rail Vertical Heated Towel Warmers provide heated rails to
suit any bathroom. Heated towel rails are installed vertically and can be
installed singularly or in 2’s or 3’s, reating a vertical bar display. By
using multiple single vertical heated rails, you save space, especially in
smaller bathrooms while creating an aesthetically pleasing feature.
The Single Vertical Round Bar Heated Towel Rail is 900mm x 40mm x 100mm, made
of high quality polished 304 stainless steel.
Unit operates at 35W each bar on 240V with concealed cable and is SAA
certified and CE approved.
Installation & Illustration
The layout pattern for your heated towel rails is up to you, whether you
choose to install singularly or in a format of 2 or 3 heated towel rails side
by side.
Whichever layout pattern you choose, please be sure to discuss with your
Builder, Tiler, Electrician and Trades Person as pre-planning and prep work
will be required by all.
Step 1: Choose the layout best suited for your bathroom design. It would
be beneficial to consult with your Builder, Tiler, Electrician or Trades
Person to ensure the location you desire can be accommodated with electrical
services and installation requirements.
Step 2: Arrange for your electrician to run conduit or appropriate wiring
to the wall area and the location of your heated towel rails. This should be
completed before any tile work or gyprock, or wall material goes up as you
will need to ensure access to the conduit and location. If tiling is already
completed, you will need to arrange with your Electrician the best location
for installation and power access.
Step 3: Tiling can be completed for the wall area, however the conduit
and location for the wire connection should be marked and recorded.
Step 4: Mark mounting holes (2 x 6mm) and electrical cable access hole
(8mm) on the tiles according to the dimensions and layout of your heated towel
rails, ensuring you have identified where mains electrical supply is located
in the wall at mounting points. (Fig 1.)
Step 5: Feed electrical cable coming from the rail, through the hole in
the fix bases and then through hole in the wall.
Step 6: Mount the 2x fix bases (mounting brackets) into the wall by first
inserting the plastic expander (6mm) and then screwing the ST545 mounting
screws into place. (Fig 1. & Fig 2.)
Step 7: Slide the ends of the rails over the fix bases and tighten the
M56 mounting screws on the underside with Allen key. (Fig 2)
Step 8: Place robe hook on top of vertical tube & fix by tightening the
M5*6 mounting screw with Allen Key. Fig 3.

Wiring Diagram
Connection and On/Off Management
Option 1:
Heated towel warmers are not thermostatically controlled and do not require a
thermostat. However heated towel rails can be operated by a Dual Thermostat
that is managing underfloor heating. 1 part of the Dual thermostat will
manage underfloor heating, using a floor sensor to sense actual floor
temperature and can be managed by the thermostat (time and temperature).
Temperature for floor heating will be controlled by the thermostat. Coldbuster
now have the Coldbuster Dual Thermostat designed specifically for this type of
application.
The 2nd part of the Dual Thermostat will operate as an on/off timer where the
heated towel warmers can be connected. A timer will turn heated towel warmers
on and off as programmed, however temperature is pre-set and not adjustable
for the heated towel warmers.
This will require pre-planning with your Electrician or Builder to ensure
mains power can be run to the required thermostat point as well as conduit
and/or wiring cable. Wiring and cable will also need to be in place from the
installed location of your heated towel rails to the thermostat location. (Fig
4.)
Option 2:
Heated towel warmers can be connected to a timer. Meaning towel warmer will
start heating at the programmed time, turning off at the programmed time.
Timer can be located on the wall next to a light switch or any convenient
place that is accessible. This will require pre-planning with your Electrician
or Builder to ensure mains power can be run to the required installation point
of your heated towel rails as well as conduit and/or wiring cable is in place
to the timer location. Coldbuster do not offer a plain Timer, however your
Electrician will be a able to source and supply an appropriate Timer. (Fig 4.)
Option 3:
Heated towel rails can be connected to a dedicated standard light switch.
Meaning towel rails will start heating when switch is turned on and stop
heating when switch is turned off. Light switch can be located in a convenient
location within the room. This will require pre-planning with your Electrician
or Builder to ensure mains power can be run to the required light switch
location. Conduit and/or wiring cable will also need to be in place from the
heated towel rail location to the light switch location. Coldbuster do not
offer a standard light switch, however your Electrician will be able to source
and supply an appropriate light switch. (Fig 4.)
Multiple Heated Towel Rails
If 2 or more heated towel rails are to be installed side by side by side,
heated towel rails should be wired in parallel. Please consult with your
Electrician.
Cleaning
As heated towel rails will require a wipe down from time to time, use only a
soft damp cloth.
A mild detergent may be used if dirt and spots need to be removed. Gently wipe
and rinse with soft damp cloth after use.
You can dry using a microfiber cloth to dry and polish heating tubes and base
flanges.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners on stainless heated towel
rails at any time.
