1. Push Button Start/Stop Button
Press once to start the shower, press once again to stop
the shower.
If audible sounds are enabled a single short beep will
be heard when the button is pressed to turn the shower
on. A single long beep will be heard when the button is
pressed to turn the shower off.
Stand-By Mode indicated by the light around the STOP/
START Button being on, denoting the shower is powered
and ready to start.
2. Temperature Control
Adjustable temperature control.
Temperature Control Device
The Temperature Control Device will activate if the
water inside the water heater gets too hot. The
Temperature Control Device will switch off the power to
the heating elements. Once the unit cools down to a safe
temperature the elements will come on again and reheat
the water within the water heater and the whole cycle will
repeat itself until the temperature is manually reduced.
Warm-Up Indication
The light around the START/STOP Button will flash as the
water heats up. Once the light stops flashing and stays
on, the shower has reached your selected temperature
and is ready to use.
If audible sounds are enabled two short beeps will be
heard once the shower is at the correct temperature.
Phased Shut Down & Indication
When the shower is turned off, water will continue to
flow and the light around the START/STOP Button will
flash for a short period while the heater cools down to
approximately 30’C, before automatically turning off.
This helps reduce limescale build-up.
If audible sounds are enabled short beeps will be heard
until the shower has turned off.
Maximum Temperature Setting (See page 17)
The shower enables the installer / user to set a
maximum temperature. Once the maximum set
temperature is achieved the temperature will not
increase even if the temperature control dial is increased.
3. Temperature Setting Indicator
The Digital Display shows a number between 1 (cooler)
and 9 (warmer) depending upon temperature (2) dial
setting, and maximum temperature setting.
Time Out Setting (See page 19)
The time out setting will ensure the shower turns off if
the user fails to manually turn the shower off. The Time
Out setting is pre set to 30 minutes but can be altered
prior to installation to either 5, 10 or 20 minutes. The
warning is three short beeps followed by a 2 second
pause, repeated for a minute, before the shower times
out.

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.

Electrical Requirements cont.
It is a requirement that a residual current device (RCD) formerly
known as an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) with a tripping
current of 30mA, is incorporated in the circuit. This may be part of
the existing consumer unit or a separate unit.
For close circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse.
Instead use a suitably rated Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or
Cartridge Fuse.
Please refer to the Circuit Protection Table.
On installation of the appliance the impedance
measurement of the Neutral and Earth back to
the supply source is to be less than 1.0 Ohms.
This is in line with the general installation
requirements of the UK Network and will
generally present no problem within the UK
Network.
In domestic installations you must ensure that
the electrical supply and existing fuse board are
adequately rated.
Do not turn on the electrical supply until the
plumbing has been completed and the shower
cover re-fitted.
The current carrying capacity of the cable must be at least that of
the shower Circuit Protection Device.
Please refer to the Cable Current Carrying Capacity Table.

If the shower is to be installed in a hard water area, we recommend
that an in-line scale inhibitor is fitted which will prolong the life of
the shower. Please refer to your supplier for advice.
Warning: The shower must not be installed in an area subject
to freezing conditions. Do not use if you suspect the shower is
frozen, this will damage the shower unit.
The shower must be connected to a mains water supply only
with a minimum working inlet pressure of 0.05MPa (0.5bar) at a
minimum flow rate of 8 litres per minute.
Minimum static inlet pressure 0.02MPa (0.2bar).
The maximum static inlet pressure must not exceed 1.0MPa
(10bar).
A minimum working inlet pressure of 0.1MPa (1bar) at a minimum
flow rate of 8 litres per minute is recommended for full Beab Care
Mark performance.
If it is intended to operate the shower at pressures above the
maximum stated, a suitable pressure reducing valve (PRV) should
be used.
Water regulations stipulate that the showerhead be ‘constrained
by a fixed or sliding attachment (hose retainer) so that it can only
discharge water at a point not less than 20mm above the spill over
level of the bath or shower tray or other fixed appliance’.
If a showerhead can sit within a bath, basin or shower tray, you
must fit a double check valve in the supply pipe work to prevent back
siphonage. If the showerhead can sit within a WC then the air gap
should be a type AUK3 not less than 20mm or twice the diameter of
the inlet pipe to the fitting, whichever is the greater.
Water Requirements
This fitting needs to be installed in accordance with the following
Installation Requirements and Notes (IRN) to ensure they meet
the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations
1999 and the Scottish Byelaws 2004.
The fitting shall be installed so that its outlet discharges above the
spill-over level of any fixed appliance as indicted on the illustration
below.
For backflow protection in premises or installations up to, and
including Fluid Category 3 and 5.
The vertical distance of the outlet above the spill-over level shall
be not less than 20mm or twice the diameter of the inlet pipe
to the fitting, which ever is the greater. If the fitting cannot be
installed as indicated it shall be installed with a backflow prevention
arrangement suitable for the Fluid Category.

Warning: Please check for any hidden pipes and cables before
drilling holes in the wall.
Remove the 4 cover retaining screws and lift off the cover.
Do not try to remove the control knobs from the cover. They are an
integral part of the cover and must not be removed.
If you are fitting the unit to a partition wall or a wall of particularly
friable (crumbly) substrate, you will need appropriate fixings for the
wall type.
Select the position for the shower unit over a bath or shower tray
using the installation template provided.
Important: The shower unit must be fitted to a flat, waterproof
surface. Under no circumstances should the shower unit be
attached to a wall and then tiled up to the edges. The unit must be
fixed on top of the wall surface.
Important: Use a spirit level to ensure the template is level.
Mark the 3 fixing points with a suitable pencil through the paper.
Remove the template from the wall and drill the wall to suit the wall
fixings to be used.
Fixing Your Shower to the Wall
Tips:
A piece of insulation or masking tape positioned where holes
are to be drilled and before marking out the exact position
for the fixing holes will help stop the drill bit from wandering,
particularly on a tiled surface.
When working near a basin, bath or shower insert plug or cover
waste to prevent losing small parts.
Take care not to drop tools/equipment into basin, bath or
shower during shower installation.
Note: The unit can be hung temporarily on the top screws to help
with the positioning of the pipe work etc.
* The bottom screw should only be fitted during final installation.
Important: Under no circumstances should this shower unit be
recessed (it must be fitted onto the finished wall surface) or tiled up
to or sealed around the unit as this may prevent air circulating and
any condensation escaping.
