ADVICE TO USERS

When first installed the unit will be empty. It is essential the unit should contain water before the elements are switched on. It is vital that the commissioning procedure is followed. Failure to carry out I-001-A this operation will result in damage to the unit and will invalidate the guarantee.

The following points will help you understand how the shower operates:

1. The electric heating elements operate at a constant rate at your chosen power setting. It is the rate of the water passing through the heater can which determines the water temperature. The slower the flow, the hotter the water becomes; the faster the flow, the cooler the water.
2. During winter the mains water supply will be cooler than in the summer, so the flow rate will vary between seasons at any one temperature setting. At different times of the year you may have to adjust the position of the temperature control to maintain your desired temperature setting.
3. The stabiliser valve minimises variations in shower temperature during mains water pressure changes. If changes in shower temperature are experienced during normal use, it will most likely be caused by the water pressure falling near to or below the minimum level. The drop in pressure may be due to water being drawn off at other points in the house whilst the shower is in use. If pressure drops appreciably below the minimum, the heating elements will automatically cut out.

If ever the water becomes too hot and you cannot obtain cooler water, first check that the sprayplate in the shower head has not become blocked.

DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep through the joint between the cover and backplate, and possibly damage the sealing rubber.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE wiring regulations) and be sufficient for the amperage required.

The following notes are for guidance only:

1. The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is advisable to contact the local electricity supply company.
   1. The electrical rating of the shower is shown on the rating label (Fig.3) within the unit.
      
2. Before making any sort of electrical connection within the installation, make sure that no terminal is live. If in any doubt, switch off the whole installation at the mains supply and remove the correct fuse.
3. The shower must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT be connected to a ring main, spur, socket outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.
   1. The electrical supply must be adequate for the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
4. Check your consumer unit (main fuse box) has a main switch rating of 80A or above and that it has a spare fuse way which will take the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) necessary for the shower (Fig.4).
   
   1. If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the installation will not be straightforward and may require a new consumer unit serving the house or just the shower. You will need to contact the local electricity company. They will check the supply and carry out what is necessary.
5. For close circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or cartridge fuse (see Table A).
   
   1. A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.
6. A 45 amp double pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in both poles must be incorporated in the circuit.
   1. It must have a mechanical indicator showing when the switch is in the OFF position and the wiring must be connected to the switch without the use of a plug or socket outlet.
   2. The switch must be accessible and clearly identifiable, but out of reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower, except for the cord of a cord operated switch, and should be placed so that it is not possible to touch the switch body while standing in a bath or shower cubicle. It should be readily accessible to switch off after using the shower.
7. Where shower cubicles are located in any rooms other than bathrooms, all socket outlets in those rooms must be protected by a 30mA RCD.
8. The current carrying capacity of the cable must be at least that of the shower circuit protection (see Table B).
   

Note: Cable selection is dependent on derating factors

1. To obtain full advantage of the power provided by the shower, use the shortest cable route possible from the consumer unit to the shower.
2. It is also necessary to satisfy the disconnection time and thermal constraints which means that for any given combination of current demand, voltage drop and cable size, there is a maximum permissible circuit length.

9. The shower circuit should be separated from other circuits by at least twice the diameter of the cable or conduit.
   1. The current rating will be reduced if the cabling is bunched with others, surrounded by thermal loft or wall insulation or placed in areas where the ambient temperature is above 30°C. Under these conditions, derating factors apply and it is necessary to select a larger cable size.
   2. In the majority of installations (see Table B), the cable will unavoidably be placed in one or more of the above conditions. This being so, it is strongly recommended to use a minimum of 10mm cabling throughout the shower installation.
   3. In any event, it is essential that individual site conditions are assessed by a competent electrician in order to determine the correct cable size and permissible circuit length.

*The method below may be used by installers to determine the approximate size of the incoming cable.

1. Measure the width of an individual strand, and half that measurement to find (r), e.g: 1.34mm ÷ 2 = (r) 0.67mm
2. Multiply (r) x (r) x 3.14, e.g: (r) 0.67 x (r) 0.67 x 3.14 = 1.41mm²
3. Multiply this by the number of wire strands (usually 7), e.g: 1.41mm² x 7 = 9.87mm².
4. The number obtained would suggest 10mm² wiring.

*PLEASE NOTE: If unsure, consult a qualified Electrician.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

The installation must be in accordance with Water Regulations/Bylaws.

Supply Source	Mains pressure cold water
*Minimum running pressure and flow to the inlet of the shower for full performance	100kPa (1.0 bar) at 8 litres per minute for 8.5Kw - 9.5Kw
*Minimum running pressure and flow to the inlet of the shower for full performance	150kPa (1.5 bar) at 11 litres per minute for 10.5Kw
Maximum static pressure	1000 kPa (10 bar)
Maximum inlet temperature	28°C
Minimum inlet temperature	2°C

* Note: The shower will continue to operate on a reduced heat setting if the running pressure falls to 0.7 bar (1.2 bar for 10.5kW), there will be a noticeable reduction in flow and temperature from the shower head.

If the stated flow rates are not available, it may not be possible to achieve optimum performance from the unit throughout the year.
During periods of high ambient temperatures it may be necessary to select the economy power setting to achieve your preferred shower temperature.

Fig.5 shows a typical system layout.
Do not use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation.

SITING OF THE UNIT

If installing onto a tiled wall always mount the unit on the surface of the tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.

Refer to fig.6 for the correct siting of the shower. Position the unit where it will NOT be in direct contact with water from the shower head. Position the shower unit vertically.
Allow enough room between the ceiling and the shower to access the cover top screws. Leave enough space between the left-hand side of the unit and the wall to allow access to the pressure relief device (PRD) in the future.

Note: Water regulations require the shower head be 'constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment so that it can only discharge water at a point not less than 25mm above the spill-over level of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed appliance'. The use of the supplied gel hanger/hose guide will in most cases meet this requirement, but if the shower head can be placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then a double check valve, or similar, must be fitted in the supply pipework to prevent back-flow.

The shower must not be positioned where it will be subjected to freezing conditions.

The unit must be mounted on a flat surface which covers the full width and length of the backplate. It is important that the wall surface is flat otherwise difficulty may be encountered when fitting the cover and subsequent operation of the unit may be impaired.

Pressure Relief Safety Device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into the shower unit which complies with European standards. The PRD provides a level of appliance protection should an excessive build up of pressure occur within the shower.
Do not operate the shower with a damaged or kinked shower hose, or a blocked shower head which can cause the PRD to operate.
When commissioning, the shower head must be removed from the flexible hose, while at the P-001-A same time the temperature control must be at the minimum flow position. Failure to follow this procedure may also cause the PRD to operate.
Make sure the shower is positioned over a bath or shower tray because if the PRD operates, then water will eject from the bottom of the unit.
Should this happen, turn off the electricity and water supplies to the shower at the isolating switch and stopvalve. Contact the Customer
Experience team for advice on replacing the PRD.

FITTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL

Check there are no hidden cables or pipes before drilling holes for wall plugs. Use great care when using power tools near water. The use of a residual current device (RCD) is recommended.

Note: The control knob is an integral part of the cover – DO NOT attempt to remove it.

Lift the cover from the backplate. To access the pipe and cable connections lift off the trimplate (fig.7).
Entry positions for the mains water are from the bottom, rear or side. Cable entry is via the top or rear.

Note: Deviations from the designated entry points will invalidate product approvals.

If bottom or side surface entry is required for the mains cold water, then the necessary opening will need to be cut out in the trimplate (fig.8).

If surface cable entry from the top is required then a small area will need to be cut out in the backplate (fig.9).

If installing a feed pipe from the rear, bottom or side the centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is 21mm (fig.10).

Note: If entry is from the rear, the nut of the compression fitting will be partially behind the surface of the wall (fig.10). This area MUST be left clear when plastering over the pipework in order to make the nut accessible for future adjustments.

Always seal around the incoming pipework to prevent water entering the wall.

After choosing the site for the shower, use the backplate as a template and mark the three fixing holes (fig.11).
Drill and plug the wall. An appropriate drill bit should be used. If the wall is brick, plasterboard or a soft building block, appropriate wall plugs and screws should be fitted.

Screw the top fixing and bottom screws into position leaving the base of the screw heads protruding 6mm out from the wall.
Hook the backplate over the top and bottom screws and fit the centre fixing screw into position. Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage, as the fixing holes are elongated to allow for out of square adjustment after the plumbing connections have been completed.

The outlet of the shower acts as a vent and MUST NOT be connected to anything other than the hose and shower head supplied.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Plumbing to be carried out before wiring

DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation.
DO NOT solder fittings near the shower unit as heat can transfer along the pipework and damage components.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connect to the inlet of the shower. Push-on fittings must NOT be used as full engagement cannot be guaranteed.

Note: An additional stopvalve (complying with Water Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mains water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water supply should maintenance or servicing be necessary. If this isolator is fitted in a loft space, the loft must have a fixed access ladder and be boarded, with apporpriate lighting from the access point to the isolator.

Before completing the connection of the water supply to the inlet of the shower, flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris. This can be achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework and turning on the mains water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste.

Procedure

Turn off water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the shower via 15mm copper, stainless steel or plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm brass elbow or straight coupler compression fitting.
DO NOT use excessive force when making these connections.
Make sure the backplate is square on the wall and tighten the two retaining screws which hold it to the wall.
Turn on the mains water supply and check for leaks in the pipework connection to the shower.
Note: At this stage no water can flow through the unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAINS.

Fig.12 shows a schematic wiring diagram.
The cable entry points are shown in fig.1. The cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via 20mm conduit.

Note: Conduit entry can only be from rear. Route the cable into the shower unit and connect to the terminal block (fig.13) as follows:
Earth cable to terminal marked
Neutral cable to terminal marked N
Live cable to terminal marked L

1. Terminal block
2. Start/Stop switch
3. Low pressure Microswitch
4. Power selector Microswitch
5. Solenoid valve
6. Thermal cut-out(main)
7. Thermal cut-out (outlet)
8. Neon - power
9. Neon - low pressure
10. Element
11. Earth post

Fully tighten the terminal block screws and make sure that no cable insulation is trapped under the screws. Loose connections can result in cable overheating.

Note: The supply cable earth conductor must be sleeved. The outer sheath of the supply cable must be stripped back to the minimum.

The supply cable must be secured either by routing through conduit or in trunking or by embedding in the wall, in accordance with current IEE regulations.
The use of connections within the unit to supply power to other equipment i.e. extractor fans, pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee.

DO NOT switch on the electricity supply until the cover has been fitted.

Note: The elements on UK models are to 240V specification and will give a lower kW rating if the voltage supply is below 240V.

REPLACING THE COVER

Refit the trimplate. Turn the POWER selector spindle clockwise to the position shown in fig.14.

Turn the stabiliser valve spindle fully clockwise until resistance is felt (fig.15).

On the cover turn the power selector to the COLD position (fig.16) and rotate the temperature control so that it points to 10, the minimum flow position (fig.16).

Before finally fitting the cover, the following steps must be taken:

1. Check the plumbing connections are watertight.
2. Check the terminal block screws are fully tightened.
3. Make sure the pipe and cable entering the unit do not prevent the cover locating correctly to the backplate.
4. Check the power selector is in the STOP position and the temperature control is in the 10 position.

Offer the cover to the unit.

Plug the two neons located on the backplate onto the bracket inside the cover (fig.17). The neon with the yellow wires clips into the upper position and the remaining neon fits into the lower position.

Attached to the START/STOP switch inside the cover is a two-wire lead. Connect the socket on the end of the lead to the plug leading from the backplate (fig.18).

Note: The plug and socket can only fit one way.

Carefully locate the cover tags into the guide pockets on the backplate and make sure the wires are not trapped.

Note: DO NOT remove the cable ties in this unit.

Guide the cover into position so that the knob spindle locates correctly (minor adjustment may be necessary to align the knob and spindle).
Should any difficulty arise, recheck the points above.
While applying slight pressure to the front cover, secure in place using the three retaining screws.

COVER RETAINING SCREWS
ONLY the SUPPLIED SCREWS should be used. The use of non supplied screws WILL invalidate product specifications & warranty.

COMMISSIONING

Before normal operation of the shower, it is essential the following commissioning procedure is completed correctly.

The first operation of the shower is intended to flush out any remaining unit debris and to make sure the heater unit contains water before the elements are switched on.
This operation must be carried out with the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but WITHOUT the shower head attached.
Make sure the outlet from the flexible hose is directed to waste.

Before switching on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower, check that the power selector is in the COLD position (fig.19) and the temperature control is turned to position 10, the minimum flow position (fig.19).

Note: Failure to turn the control to '10' may cause the PRD to operate.

Turn on the electric and mains water supplies to the shower. The power indicator will light.

Press the Start/Stop button (fig.19) and wait until water starts to flow from the flexible hose.

Slowly turn the temperature control fully anticlockwise to 1, the maximum flow position (fig.20).

It will take about thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to be obtained while air and any debris is being flushed from the shower.
When there is a smooth flow of water turn the temperature control from 1 to 10 and back again several times to release any trapped air within the unit.
Once flushing out has been completed, stop the water flow by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Fit the shower head to the flexible hose and place in the shower head holder.
The shower is now ready for normal operation.

OPERATING THE UNIT

Make sure the commissioning procedure has been carried out.

To start the shower
Press the Start/Stop button and water will flow.

To stop the shower
Press the Start/Stop button and water will cease to flow.
Note: If restarting immediately after stopping be aware that a slug of hot water will be expelled for the first few seconds.

To use the power selector
The power selector has three positions – COLD, ECONOMY and HIGH (fig.21).

The blue symbol is for COLD water only. Adjusting the temperature control at this setting will only change the force of the water from the shower head (It will not alter the water temperature).
The red symbol is an ECONOMY setting for using less energy when the ambient mains water temperature is high during warmer months. Temperature adjustment at this setting is via the temperature control
Note: If the stated flow rate required for the unit cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will be necessary to operate the unit on this setting during the warmer months because of flow rate limitations entering the unit.
The red symbol is a HIGH power setting which allows the highest flow achievable for your preferred temperature. This setting should normally be regarded as optimum shower performance throughout the year. Temperature adjustment is via the temperature control.

Note: In normal use, it is in order to leave the water supply permanently on to the shower unit, but as with most electrical appliances, the unit must be switched off at the isolating switch when not in use.

To adjust the shower temperature
The water temperature is altered by increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the water through the shower via the temperature control (fig.21).
After obtaining your showering temperature, the number can be left as the normal setting and should only need altering to compensate for seasonal changes in ambient water temperature.
Note: The preferred number on ECONOMY will give a different temperature to the same number position on HIGH.

To decrease the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control anti-clockwise to increase the flow of water through the shower, therefore decreasing the water temperature and is indicated by lower numbers.

To increase the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control clockwise to decrease the flow of water through the shower, therefore increasing the water temperature and is indicated by higher numbers.

Note: It is advisable to be certain that the showering temperature is satisfactory by testing with your hand before stepping under the shower head. There will always be a time delay of a few seconds between selecting a flow rate and the water reaching the stable temperature for that flow rate.

It is recommended that persons who may have difficulty understanding or operating the shower controls should not be left unattended while showering. Special consideration should be given to young children and the less able bodied.

After any servicing of mains water supply, always flush out the pipework to remove any debris. Always make sure the unit is started on COLD in order to purge any air in the pipework.

OPERATING FUNCTIONS

Power on indicator (fig.22)
When the electricity supply to the shower is switched on at the isolating switch, the neon power indicator will light.

Low pressure indicator (fig.22)
If this indicator lights, this means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum required for correct operation of the shower, resulting in the low pressure cut-out operating. This switches off power to the heating elements, preventing any undue temperature rises (water will continue to flow). Power will automatically be restored when adequate water pressure returns.

Temperature limiter
During normal operation if an overheat temperature is sensed power to the elements will be reduced, although water will continue to flow. When the temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the elements will be automatically restored to the settings at the time of interruption.

Safety cut-out
The unit is fitted with a non-resettable thermal cut-out safety device. In the event of abnormal operation which could cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, the device will disconnect the heating elements. It will require a visit from a qualified engineer to determine the nature of the fault and replace the safety device once the unit has been repaired.

DO NOT use abrasive or aggressive cleaning products when cleaning the shower as they may damage the unit.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, turn off the unit at the isolation switch to avoid the shower being accidentally switched on.
Triton recommends that all products are cleaned using warm, soapy water.
DO NOT use abrasive or aggressive chemical cleaning products as this may affect the product surface finish and invalidate your guarantee.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLERS AND SERVICE ENGINEERS ONLY

CLEANING THE INLET FILTER

It is recommended that the lter is periodically cleaned in order to maintain the performance of the shower. It is essential that this operation is carried out by an installer or service engineer.

Before servicing, switch off both the electricity supply and water supply at the mains.

The inlet filter is situated in the side of the inlet pipe (fig. 26)

To gain access to the filter, remove the trimplate and then unscrew the retaining nut from the side of the inlet pipe.
When cleaning the filter, do not use a sharp object as it will cause damage. It is preferable to use an old toothbrush or similar.
When refitting the filter Do Not overtighten the filter cap.
