Electrical Requirements
Warning: This appliance MUST
be earthed!
The Electrical Installation and Circuit Protection of this shower
must comply with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and
Building Regulations (Part P). We recommend that this product is
installed by a qualified electrician prior to use. The following notes
are for guidance only.
Important:
You
must
switch off the power at the consumer unit,
isolate the electrical circuit and verify the earth before making any
electrical connections.
The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V AC supply. The
electrical rating of your shower is on the pack or on the rating plate
label.
The shower must be connected to its own independent electrical
supply. It
must not
be connected to a ring main, spur, power socket,
or lighting circuit.
If you don’t have a spare fuse way or the rating at the main fuse box
is below 80A, you should seek advice from an electrician and may
need a new consumer unit - specifically for the shower.
A separate and permanently connected cable must be taken from
the consumer unit directly to the shower via a 45 Amp double pole
switch with a minimum contact separation gap of 3mm in live (L)
and neutral (N) poles.
The isolating switch can be a ceiling mounted pull cord switch
within the bathroom or wall mounted in an adjacent room. The
power switch must be easily accessible and identifiable as the
supply to the shower.
Note:
Voltage drop in the supply to the premises, due to heavy
local demand, will affect the performance of your shower. To gain
the optimum power possible from this shower unit try to find the
shortest possible route from the consumer unit to the shower to run
your cable.
