2. and must not be connected to anything other than the hose and sprayhead supplied DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipe fittings for the installation DO NOT use soldered fittings within the vicinity of the shower unit NOTE An additional stopvalve complying with Water Regulations MUST be fitted in the mains water supply to the shower as an independent means of isolating the water supply should maintenance or servicing be necessary Entry positions for the mains water and electrical supplies are at the top bottom or at the rear of the unit If top or bottom entry position is chosen the relevant cut out in the backplate must be removed fig 8 NOTE Deviations from the designated entry points will invalidate product approvals Important Before completing the connection of Aquatronic 1 the water supply to the inlet of the shower flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris This can be achieved by connecting a hose to the pipework and turning on the mains water supply long enough to clear the debris to waste Procedure Turn off water supply either at the mains stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve Connect the mains water supply to the inlet of the shower via 15mm pipe using a 15mm x 15mm brass elbow compression fitting NOTE The inlet fitting is designed to enter a compression fitting only DO NOT use push fit connectors as full engagement cannot be guaranteed
3. Ensure the plastic filter fig 9 is inserted in the supply pipe before connection This helps to prevent ingress of debris If entry is from the rear the conex nut fitting will be partially behind the surface of the wall fig10 This area must be left clear when plastering over he pipework in order to make the nut accessible or future adjustments NOTE The centre of the inlet valve to the wall surface is 20mm fig 10 DO NOT use excessive force when making these connections Ensure the backplate is square on the wall and ighten the two retaining screws which hold it to he wall Before turning on the mains water supply the stabilising valve should be fully closed To ensure hat it is replace the cover temporarily to engage he splines and rotate the temperature control ully clockwise until a stop is felt The valve is now in the closed position Remove the cover Turn on the mains water supply and check for water tightness in the pipework up to the shower ie pe Fig 8 N Plastic filter Fig 9 IX Aquatronic 1 fa ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY Fig 11 shows a schematic wiring diagram Fig 11 The cable entry points are shown in fig 1 The cable can be surface clipped hidden or via 20mm conduit NOTE Conduit entry can only be from rear Route the cable into the shower unit and connect
