Important Safety Instructions
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.
General Safety Guidelines:
- Do not permit children to use the steam bath unless closely supervised.
- Steam enclosure surfaces may be slippery; use caution when entering and exiting.
- The steam head is hot; avoid contact with the steam head and steam.
- Prolonged use can raise body temperature excessively (hyperthermia). Limit use to 10-15 minutes.
- Pregnant women, obese persons, and individuals with heart conditions or circulatory problems should consult a physician before use.
- Persons using medication should consult a physician, as some medications may cause drowsiness or affect vital signs.
- Facility managers must understand the causes, symptoms, and effects of hyperthermia.
- Alcohol, drugs, or medication can increase the risk of hyperthermia.
- Facility managers/owners are responsible for safe operation and must be knowledgeable of all safety concerns, codes, and regulations.
- Warning signs must be permanently installed on the steam room door or adjacent wall.
WARNING: REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING AND SCALDING
- Exit immediately if uncomfortable, dizzy, or sleepy.
- Supervise children at all times.
- Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, diabetic, in poor health, have high or low blood pressure, heart condition, or under medical care.
- Avoid breathing heated air in conjunction with alcohol, drugs, or medication.
- Avoid contact with the steam head and steam.
WARNING: REDUCE THE RISK OF A SLIP AND FALL INJURY
- Use care when entering or exiting the steam room; the floor may be slippery.
Pre-Installation Requirements
All plumbing and electrical work must conform to local and national codes, regulations, and ordinances. Consultation with a professional plumber is strongly recommended.
Ensure all power to the steam generator unit is OFF before installation or servicing.
Only authorized components, accessories, or products should be used.
Installation Area Requirements:
- Provide sufficient room for access to the unit for service.
- Select a clean, dry indoor location protected from freezing.
- Do not store flammable materials (gasoline, thinners, paints) or corrosive materials (chlorine) within 20 feet of the generator.
- Ambient temperature range: 40°F to 104°F (4.5°C to 40°C).
- Consider space for an ASME blowdown tank if required for safe low-temperature draining.
- Locate the generator as close as possible to the steam room. Insulate steam pipes if longer than 10 feet with insulation rated for a minimum of 250°F.
- The serial number plate should be visible after installation.
- The steam room must be completely sealed on all sides (floor, walls, ceiling) and covered with waterproof material.
- Floor and bench materials must be slip-resistant.
- Provide a floor drain inside the steam room for condensate and cleaning.
- Only use water-tight lighting fixtures approved for the application.
Plumbing Installation
General Requirements:
- Water supply: Purge the water supply line before connecting. Install a water hammer arrestor if high water pressure is a problem.
- Steam line: Connect the steam line using 3/4" copper tubing. Do NOT use iron or galvanized pipe. Insulate pipes longer than 10 feet. Locate the steam head approximately 18" above the floor, away from the bather. Do NOT install shut-off valves or create traps/valleys in the steam line.
- Drain line: Rough-in a 1" drain line for manual or optional auto blowdown, piped to an indirect waste line per local codes.
- Safety Relief valve: Rough-in a 3/4" drain line from the safety relief valve to an indirect waste line. Ensure the discharge end is not restricted.
Electrical Installation:
- Ensure all power to the steam generator is OFF.
- Remove the top access cover to the electrical power compartment.
- Mount a proper strain relief into the knockout hole.
- Strip back insulation and insert power wires into the correct terminals.
- Ensure the ground wire is properly connected and does not contact live electrical connections.
Aroma Pump Option:
- Requires a separate 15 amp, 120-volt branch circuit.
- Connect the pump to the appropriate receptacle.
- The pump operates only when the room control is in MAX mode, the ambient room temperature is above the IDLE setting, and the steam valve is open.
Digital Command Center (DCC) Installation
WARNING: ALL POWER TO THE STEAM GENERATOR MUST BE TURNED OFF BEFORE PROCEEDING.
- Route the Digital Command Center (DCC) cable, User Bypass Control cable, and Sensor cable to their respective locations. Ensure cables are not confused.
- The DCC cable is 50' long (100' available by special order).
- The User Bypass Control cable is 50' long (50' extension available).
- The Room Temperature Sensor cable is 50' long (50' extension available).
- Install the DCC on the wall of the utility room, manager's office, or front desk at a convenient height.
- Install the User Bypass Control outside the steam room door.
- Install the Room Temperature Sensor inside the steam room approximately six feet above the floor, never closer than one foot to the ceiling or corner.
Operation of the Digital Commercial Control Package (DCCP)
The DCCP is designed to maximize energy savings by allowing the facility manager to set lower operating temperatures (IDLE TEMP) and enabling users to bypass this feature (MAX mode) via the User Bypass Control button.
Modes:
- MAX: Normal ON mode for peak hours, maintaining optimal steam bath temperature.
- IDLE: Energy-saving mode, set below MAX temperature.
- OFF: Unit is turned off.
User Bypass Control:
- Functional only in IDLE mode. Pressing the button switches to MAX mode.
- MAX mode is indicated by all bars lit on the User Bypass Control.
- In MAX TEMP mode, User Bypass Control buttons do not function.
Programming the DCCP:
- SET CLOCK: Set current time and day. Includes a battery backup for the clock.
- SET VALUE: Set MAX1 TEMP, MAX2 TEMP (if applicable), IDLE TEMP, and MAX CYCLE TIMER.
- SET EVENT: Program up to six events per day for MAX, IDLE, or OFF modes. Organize your schedule using the provided chart.
Important Notes on Programming:
- Program #1 default time is 12:00 AM and can be set to OFF, IDLE, or MAX.
- Program end time is the start time of the next program.
- If the facility operates 24 hours, Program #1 can be set to MAX or IDLE, with OFF only needed for draining.
- Review and save programs using the PROG#, DAY, HOUR, MIN, and ENTER buttons.
