Electrical Installation Instructions

Steambath Generator

Model: SM-11

The Steamist “SM” Generator operates with one or two controls 
appropriately located inside and/or outside the steamroom. It’s 
small enough in size to be tucked away using very little space in 
a vanity, closet, basement, or an insulated attic, but large enough 
to provide steam for most residential baths.

The Steamist “SM” Steambath Generator comes factory 
assembled, carefully wired and tested.

NOTE: The SMC-120, SMC-150, TC-125, TC-150, TC-110, 
TC-135, DSC-425, and DSP Controls are designed to work with 
all Steamist “SM” Generators.

1. 

Pre-Installation

a) Proper electrical supply (208 or 240 Volt): See rating label 

on Steam Generator and Chart on back page. Determine 
proper size of wire, voltage, amperage, and phase for the 
Steam Generator. 

90°C copper wire is required for 

generator connection.

b) Dedicated overcurrent protection device, such as an 

in-line fuse/circuit breaker required: Fuse/circuit breaker 
to be installed must be sized in accordance with chart 
on back page. Do NOT install a GFI (Ground Fault 
Interrupter) to this equipment (per article 210-8 in the 
National Electric Code).

c) Route power supply cable to the location where the 

Steam Generator will be installed (before walls are 
closed).

2.

 Electrical Rough-in

a) At this time read through the installation instructions for 

the selected control(s).
b) Route appropriate power cable to the location the 
Steam Generator will be installed. If receptacle is 
desired, mount the box for the receptacle near the 
location of the Steam Generator.

 NOTE: 

The plug and receptacle require a rating of no 

less than 250V and proper amperage. Refer to chart on 
page 4 for amperage rating.
    

     After the walls are complete, the Steam Generator and 

Control can be wired.

Steam Generator Electrical Installation

WARNING: All power to the Steam Generator must be turned off.

a) Remove the four screws holding the electrical access 

cover and remove cover.

b) Locate the supply line knockout. Mount proper strain 

relief into knockout hole (see Figure 2: Internal 

Electrical Connections).

c) Strip back power cable’s outer insulation jacket 

eight inches and insert into Steam Generator.  
Strip back insulation ½" from the three (3)     
incoming wires (two power and one ground).

d) Connect incoming ground wire to floating green 

pigtail labeled “GND.”

    CAUTION:  Be sure the ground wire does not 

come in contact with a live electrical part. 

e) Connect incoming power to floating black pigtail 

leads labeled “L1” and “L2” (see Figure 2: Internal 
Electrical Connections).

f) The Steam Generator is ready for operation once 

the installation of the controls is completed (refer to 
separate Installation and Operating Instructions).

4. 

Optional Auto Drain Valve Connection 

a) Open knockout for Auto Drain Valve conduit 

connection.

b) Route flexible conduit from valve to knockout 

 and  secure. 

c) Connect two wires from valve to the two place 

terminal strip provided (see figure 2).
