Rough-In / Installation

Models: HC-9 thru HC-24 with DCCP Control

C) Digital Commercial Control Package rough- in: 

The DCCP is factory wired for either one or two steam 
rooms. The following installation instructions are typical 
for both room installations. IMPORTANT: The command 
center cable, USER BYPASS CONTROL cable and 
sensor cable are not the same and must not be confused.

1)  Digital Command Center rough-in: Route the command 
center cable from the generator to the selected dry mounting 
location convenient to the facility operator. 

IMPORTANT: 

the cable is 50’ long. 100’ cable is 

available by special order. Maximum functional cable 
length is 100 feet. 

2) USER BYPASS CONTROL: Route the USER 

BYPASS CONTROL cable from the generator to the 
selected area outside of the steam room. 

3) Room Temperature Sensor: Route the temperature 

sensor cable from the generator to the selected 
location inside the steam room. For sensor installa-
tion and location, see Figure 3. Make sure the 
generator end is located near the generator mount-
ing location and the sensor end is located near the 
sensor mounting location. Important: the cable is 50’ 
long. 100’ cables are available by special order. 
Maximum functional cable length is 100 feet.   

V. INSTALLATION

A)  Plumbing Installation: Care must be taken when installing 

the steam generator. Leave proper access for servicing 
(See Installation Area Requirements). (Refer to Figure 3 
for typical steam generator installation.) CAUTION: The 
steam generator is designed to be used ONLY in an 
upright and level position; to do otherwise would damage 
the unit and void the warranty. For convenient access 
mount the steam generator on the optional Steamist 
stand designed specifically for the steam generator. 

1) Water supply: Purge the water supply line before 

connecting to the steam generator. In areas where 
high water pressure may be a problem a water 
hammer arrestor should be installed.

2)  Steam line: Connect the steam line from the previ-

ously roughed-in location to the steam solenoid 
valve on the generator marked “steam outlet.” If the 
generator is equipped to provide steam to two rooms 
care must be taken to make sure the proper steam 
solenoid is piped to the proper room. 

3) Safety Line: Connect the 3/4" NPT safety valve into 

the previously installed indirect waste line.

4) Optional automatic blow down: Pipe into the 1" 

indirect waste line.

5)  For steam head installation (see Page 15).
6)  The steam, safety, and drain pipes become hot 

during operation and should be insulated with 
appropriate rated pipe insulation to protect against 
accidental contact.

B)  Electrical Installation: WARNING ALL POWER TO THE 

STEAM GENERATOR MUST BE TURNED OFF.

1)  Remove the top access cover to the electrical power 

compartment . (See Figure 4.)

2)  Locate appropriate knockout and mount a proper 

strain relief into knockout hole.

3) Strip back the power cable’s outer insulation jacket 

and insert into the box. Strip back insulation 3/4" 
from the incoming wires: single phase (two power 
and one ground). 3 phase (three power and one 

ground).

4)  Insert ground wire into grounding lug.

     CAUTION: 

Make sure ground wire does not come in 

contact with live electrical connections.

5)  Locate power block and insert power wires into 

proper power lug terminals on top of the block and 
secure.

C)  Aroma Pump Option: The aroma pump requires a 

separate 15 amp 120 volt branch circuit to be connected 
(see Figure 4). This is only necessary to run the aroma 
pump and is not needed if the pump is not used. To 
connect the power, remove the top cover of the generator. 
Select the knock out to route the 15 amp 120 volt line into 
the box. Connect the neutral, hot, and ground to the 
terminal block. Replace the cover. Plug in the pump into 
the appropriate receptacle depending on which room the 
pump is connected to. 

NOTE: 

The pump will only pump when the appropriate 

room control is in the MAX mode, the ambient room 
temperature of that room is above the IDLE setting and 
the steam valve for that room is on. This feature 
reduces oil consumption by limiting the pumping to the 
max mode only. Maximum economy of oil consumption 
can be realized by programming the DCCP to remain in 
idle mode throughout the day. If programmed this way 
the oil will only be dispensed when a steam bather 
presses the button on the user control outside the 
steam room switching the steam bath to MAX mode for 
a preset time defined by the manager (recommended 
setting is 10 minutes). Programmed this way the oil is 
only pumped on the demand from the user and is a 
substantial cost savings (See Operating Instructions 
page 9).
