Aspirante Remote electric shower

SITING OF THE SHOWER
IMPORTANT:
If installing onto a tiled wall
always mount the unit on the surface of the
tiles. NEVER tile up to the unit.
The heated water pipe and control cable are
both 3.5 metres in length, so position the
remote pack within this distance from the
control panel and bulkhead.
Note:
The control cable is supplied with
protective dust covers fitted at either end. DO
NOT remove them until all installation work is
complete and ready for the final connection to
the control panel and remote pack.
Refer to
Fig.6
for correct siting of shower.
Position the control panel where it will NOT
be in direct contact with water from the
showerhead. Position the remote pack vertically
and accessible for maintenance purposes.
Note:
Water Regulations requires that the
showerhead 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’
(Fig.6)
. The use of
the supplied soap dish will usually meet this
requirement, but if the showerhead can be
placed within a bath, basin or shower tray, then a
double check valve, or a similar device, must be
fitted in the supply pipework to prevent back-
flow.
Pressure relief safety device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed into
the shower unit which complies with European
standards. The PRD
(Fig.7)
provides a level of
appliance protection should an excessive build
up of pressure occur within the shower.
If the PRD operates, then water will eject from
the clear PRD tube, so make sure the tube,
when eventually installed, is routed carefully to
waste.
WARNING!
The shower must not be positioned
where it will be subjected to freezing
conditions.

WARNING!
Under no circumstance should
the control cable be extended or
shortened, or the heated water
pipe extended. This will impair the
performance of the shower and
invalidate the guarantee.
