SECTION 5. BATH CONTROLS
1. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CONTROLS ROUGH-IN (See Diagram 9)
The low voltage controls can be mounted
up to 25ft (7,6 m)
from the generator, one inside and the other outside the steam room. The
interior control must
be mounted
inside the steam room
so its built-in temperature sensor will function. String the 25ft (7,6 m) cable
from the control location through
½” (13mm holes) in the wall studs or ceiling joists to the generator. Note:
Do not
staple through or damage cable. Use factory supplied cables only
.
Optional for tile rooms: a rough-in box may be installed at the desired control mounting location. A mounting plate
with proper diameter hole and instructions are included with the control kit. Tile up to the hole in mounting plate as
indicated in Diagram 9.
2. INSTALL K3, KT3 GENERATOR CONTROL
The low voltage controls can be mounted directly to a finished wall either inside or outside the steam room except,
the low voltage KT3 control
must
be mounted inside the steam room. The K3 and KT3 controls have a short tube
on the back to help locate the control and to protect the cable end. All of these controls connect to the steam
generator’s circuit board through Waterwork’s CAT5 cable.
Use a 1-
3/8” (35 mm) hole saw, to drill a hole in the finished wall where the control is to be mounted (the control
cable should already be roughed-in to this location).
This must be inside the room for KT3 controls.
Plug the cable
end into the jack in the back of the control
Run a bead of 100% silicon caulk around the tube on the back of the control. Make sure there is enough to fill any
grout lines and make sure the silicone is far enough from the edges to remain hidden after mounting to the wall.
Make sure the cable is firmly connected to the control then insert the
control’s tube into the mounting hole and
firmly press the control against the wall. Level the control and tape it in
place (painter’s tape generally works well),
then leave until the silicone is cured.
Route the generator end of the control cable through a knockout in the end of the generator and secure it using the
strain relief provided. Plug the control cable into its socket on the steam generators circuit board.
