Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual
1. Verify that the model and accessories are as
specified and ordered.
2. Verify that the power voltage and control voltage at
the site is suitable for the CU Steambath Generator.
3. Verify the correct steam generator sizing by
referring to the MrSteam sizing guide. See page 6.
4. DO NOT use black iron pipe between steam
solenoid and steam head. Use brass pipe or
copper tubing ONLY, and in accordance with
National and local plumbing Codes.
5. The physical size of the unit, clearance for
plumbing servicing and its distance from the steam
room must all be considered before selecting a
location for the generator. See page 5.
6. The Manufacturer's Data Report is supplied with the
generator. This is an important document and may
be required by a State or Provincial Agency. THIS
DOCUMENT MUST BE SECURED IN A SAFE
LOCATION.
7. Do not use or install unauthorized components,
acces-sories or products on the generator or
generator piping.
The MrSteam Digital 1 System operating
and over temperature control is to be installed in ac-
cordance with the specific instructions provided. See
Note 7 below.
DO NOT alter or modify any MrSteam
product. Doing so may result in an inoperable or haz-
ardous installation and will void the warranty.
STEAM ROOM GUIDELINES
The following general information should be used in con-
junction with your architect, designer and contractor in
determining all factors necessary in provid-ing a suitable
and safe steam room environment for your bathers.
Owners/operators should obtain a copy and familiarize
themselves with the latest edition of the American Col-
lege Sports Medicine Health/Fitness Faculty Standards
and Guidelines, or a similar resource and reference pub-
lication, and refer to those guidelines for the proper and
safe operation of a spa facility includ-ing steam rooms.
Steam room construction information is available from the
Tile Council of America, Inc. at (864) 646-8453 or
www.tileusa.com
1. Steam room must be completely enclosed, with full
walls, door, floor and ceiling.
2. It is recommended that a gasketed door be used for
heat sealing and steam containment. Windows, sky-
lights and the like that are part of the steam room
should be double paned. Only vapor sealed fixtures
approved for the application should be used.
3. If tile or other smooth surface is used for the flooring,
provide suitable anti-skid strips or equivalent, to
prevent user slipping and injury.
4. Walls and ceilings must be constructed with water-
resistant, non-corrosive surface, such as tile, marble,
molded acrylic, or other non-porous material. The ceil-
ing should be sloped to prevent dripping of
conden-sate on bathers. If acrylic, fiberglass or other
non-heat resistant materials are used as part of the
steam room enclosure, see page 11, “Steamhead” for
important additional details.
5. Provide floor drains inside and outside of the steam
room for condensate run-off and steam room cleaning.
6. Comply with all applicable National and local building
and electrical Codes and confer with design consult-
ants and contractors for room construction details.
7. The Digital 1 Temperature Control System is required
operating equipment for each steam room. The
operating temperature control is to be set by the
owner/operator to sense desired room temperature at
the sensor location within the steam room. Connection
of the Digital 1 Over Temperature cutoff is mandatory
to provide additional protection to the bathers. The
steam room is to be operated in accordance
with information as noted above.
Final selection of the steam room temperature
setting is at the discretion of the owner/operator.
BEFORE INSTALLING
Take time to read these instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing. Although this CU
Steambath Generator has been qualified for shipment by MrSteam, the following must be reviewed for proper
and safe use.
CU Generators are designed for commercial applications that require continuous
or near continuous use. CU Generators are not suitable for installations with intermittent operation were the gen-
erator remains unused for extended periods of time. Consult MrSteam before specifying a steam generator to
determine the optimal steam generator for your application
