Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual

Functionality of the Timeswitch

The countdown timer uses a relay to switch the steam sole-
noid on. During the preset running time, the relay energizes
and activates the connected steam solenoid by closing a
circuit. After the time has elapsed, the relay deenergizes
and deactivates the connected steam solenoid by opening
the circuit again. THE TIMER MAY ONLY BE OPERATED
AFTER INSTALLATION IN A PROTECTIVE HOUSING.

BEFORE USE

Before installing and using this timer, it is absolutely neces-
sary that you read this operating manual thoroughly.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This timer may only be installed by a qualified, licensed
electrician and must be installed in accordance with
National and local codes.

1.

SHOCK HAZARD!

Install the timer per these instruc-

tions before connecting to the main supply. Never touch
live contacts or components.

2. Protection from contact with the line voltage compo-

nents must be achieved by proper installation in a 4 x 4
junction box. When installing the timer, ensure the fasten-
ing sliders prevent the timer from being removed.

3. DO NOT install the timer in a wet or damp location.
4. DO NOT install the timer inside the steam room.

STEAM VENT

IMPORTANT:

A steam vent (PN 104072) must be

installed in the steam line between the steam generator
and the steam solenoid valve when using a 30 minute
timer as shown. The steam vent will release hydrostatic
pressure in the boiler while filling when the 30 minute
timer has timed out.

Make sure the boiler and pipes are not hot

and have no pressure before installing the steam vent.

1. The steam vent shall be plumbed into a Tee in the

steam line between the boiler and the solenoid valve.
Only one steam vent is required, even if the boiler
services two rooms.

2.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The steam vent should remain

accessible for service.

3. The steam vent should be oriented vertically with the

threads down, as shown in Figure 4.

4. The steam vent is provided with 3/4” NPT male and

1/2” NPT female thread for connecting to the steam
line.

FUNCTIONALITY OF THE TIMESWITCH 

During the preset running time, the timer energizes and 

activates the connected steam solenoid by closing a 

circuit. After the time has elapsed, the timer 

deenergizes and deactivates the connected steam 

solenoid by opening the circuit again. THE TIMER MAY 

ONLY BE OPERATED AFTER INSTALLATION IN A 

PROTECTIVE HOUSING.  

 

BEFORE USE 

Before installing and using this timer, it is absolutely nec-

essary that you read this operating manual thoroughly. 

 

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

This timer may only be installed by a qualified, licensed  

electrician and must be installed in accordance with 

National and local codes. 

 

         SHOCK HAZARD!

 Install the timer per 

these instructions before connecting to the main supply. 

Never touch live contacts or components.  

 

         

Protection from contact with the line 

voltage components must be achieved by proper 

installation in a 2 x 4 junction box. When installing the 

timer, ensure the fastening sliders prevent the timer 

from being removed. 

 

 

         DO NOT

 install the timer in a wet or  

damp location. 

 

         DO NOT

 install the timer inside the  

steam room.   

 

Important Note: 

As you follow these instructions, 

you will notice warning and caution symbols. This 

information is important for the safe and efficient 

installation and operation of this generator. These are 

types of potential hazards that may occur during this 

installation and operation: 

 

    

         states a hazard may cause serious injury or 

death if precautions are not followed. 

 

    

         signals a situation where minor injury or 

product damage may occur if you do not follow 

instructions.

Wiring Diagram

DIGITAL 30-MINUTE  
ROOM TIMER

 

 

1. CONNECTING THE TIMER 

• Remove one of the knockout holes on the left side of 

the boiler jacket. 

• Remove the room timer jumper from the terminal 

block. 

• Connect the timer to the terminal block as shown on 

the wiring diagram Figure 1. 

• Older models may have some wires and jumpers in 

different locations. Please confirm that it matches the 

diagram or update it upon installation. 

• Mount the timer plate assembly on a 4 x 2 Electrical 

box (not supplied). 

 

2. STEAM VENT 

IMPORTANT

:

 A steam vent (PN 104072) must be 

installed in the steam line between the steam generator 

and the steam solenoid valve when using a 30 minute 

timer as shown. The steam vent will release hydrostatic 

pressure in the boiler while filling when the 30 minute 

timer has timed out.
