tor, the combined resultant room volume of the two rooms
should not exceed 1000 cubic feet.
3.
ach room must be operated with the appropriate Digital 1
temperature control system inclusive of the room operating
temperature control and the high-limit temperature control.
4.
In any case, the purchase and/or owner/operator must con-
sult with a designer, architect, and/or consultant to assure
the proper specification of the steam generator.

Steam Line
1.
The Digital 1 steam solenoid valve should be plumbed as close as
practical to the steam room using only brass pipe or copper tubing
but should remain accessible for service.
2.
Pitch the steam line a minimum of 1/4”per linear foot of run,
towards the steam outlet on the generator, avoid valleys and trap-
ping of condensate.
3.
Fully insulate steam lines with suitably-rated high temperature
insulation.
4.
Install a suitable strainer or filter between the steam generator and
steam solenoid valve.
5.
Use of unions in plumbing lines is recommended.
Drain
In accordance with Code requirements, provide a drain line
connection from the steambath generator drain valve(s). If an Auto
Blowdown is used, the drain line must be connected to
the automatic blowdown valve. Refer to National and local plumbing
Codes for drain requirements including receptor,
trap, vent requirements and drain lines.

Water Quality Information
For optimum results, the feedwater supply should be
tested prior to initial startup. If the mineral content
exceeds the following recommended limits, various
external treatment processes may be used to correct the
problem.
NOTE:
An analysis of the on-site boiler feedwater must
be made by a recognized and reliable water treatment
company to ascertain the existing condition and treat-
ment required.
Recommended Feedwater Quality
Hardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~7 – 0 gpg)
pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4
Blowdown boiler at least a once a day. If boiler water
or feed-water are outside the above limits, a more
frequent blowdown is required
Recommended Limits Within a Boiler
Total Dissolved Solids, ppm 3500 Sulfite (SO3), ppm 25 – 50
Total Alkalinity, ppm 850 Phosphate, ppm 30 – 60
Suspended solids, ppm 300 P-Alkalinity as CaCO3, ppm 900
Silica (SiO2), ppm 125 Iron, ppm 2
Water quality can affect efficiency or result in boiler damage if neglect-
ed. Boiler feedwater contains impurities in solution and suspension.
These impurities concentrate in the boiler. The concentration of these
impurities increases as more feedwater is introduced into the boiler and
steam is produced. If the suspended solids are allowed to concentrate
beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the boiler
internal surfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper boiler
operation and cause boiler failure.
The concentration of these impurities is generally controlled by the
feedwater quality and by blowdown. Blowdown refers to removing a
portion of the boiler water with high solids concentration and replac-
ing it with makeup water of a lower concentration.

Principles of Operation
MR.ST AM CU Steambath Generators require two sources
of electrical supply – power voltage and control voltage.
Power voltage is usually 208, 240, or 480 volt, single or
three phase. Control voltage for generator suitable for opera-
tion with these voltages is 120V, 1PH.
IMPO TANT:
In all cases, refer specifically to the boiler data
plate located on the outside of the boiler enclosure for rated
power and control voltages.
IMPO TANT:
See the generator nameplate for specific elec-
trical supply requirements for your steam generator. A lighted
ON/OFF switch activates the control circuit. MR. ST AM
CU Generators are equipped with automatic liquid level/low
water cut-off control. CU360 – CU1400 are equipped with a
dual probe type electronic control. CU2000-CU4500 are
equipped with float type MM150 control (Refer to wiring
diagrams.) When there is no water in the generator, the con-
tactor is "OFF" and the water feed solenoid valve is "ON".
The unit will start filling with water. When the water level
has reached approximately halfway up the gauge glass, the
contactor(s) will be energized and, in turn, energize the heat-
ing element(s). The water solenoid will continue to feed
water for a short time and then de-energize. Steam will be
available within a few minutes.
The generator has an electronic high water level cut-off con-
trol. If water level rises near the top of the pressure-sure ves-
sel, the contactor(s) and the water feed solenoid valve will
de-energize to “OFF”.
When steam pressure reaches the operating pressure control
setting, the pressure control will de-energize the contactor(s).
Operating pressure control is factory set at 5psig.
IMPO TANT:
It is recommended that the steam generator not
be operated higher than 5PSIG.
Steam supply to the steambath is controlled by the Digital 1
Temperature Control System and the steam solenoid
valve(s). As the room temperature selected by the
owner/operator decreases below the set point, the Digital 1
Control will energize the steam solenoid valve(s) and allow
steam to enter the steam room. Once the set temperature on
the control is reached at the sensor, the control will de-ener-
gize the steam valve, closing the valve and stopping the
flow of steam into the steam room.
19
mr.steam®CU Series Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual
The Digital 1 Kit is provided with Over Temperature
Control. Digital 1 monitors the room temperature inside the
commercial steambath. If the room temperature exceeds the
set point, the Digital 1 shuts off the power to the CU
Steambath Generator, shutting steam off. CU-HL can also
send a signal to an audible alarm (CU-Alarm sold separate-
ly).
The pressure in the generator will decrease slightly as steam
leaves the generator and enters the steam room. The pressure
control will energize and de-energize the contactor(s), main-
taining the set pressure. As the water level in the generator
decreases, the liquid level control will energize the water
solenoid valve on and off and maintain proper water level.
IMPO TANT:
Owners/operators should obtain a copy and
familiarize themselves with the latest edition of the
American College of Sports Medicine Health/Fitness Faculty
Standards and Guidelines, or a similar resource and reference
publication, and refer to those guidelines for the proper and
safe operation of a spa facility including steam rooms.
The owner/operator has the responsibility to select a room
operating temperature meeting guideline requirements for
steam rooms.
Important Optional Equipment
1. Optional Automatic Blowdown System (CU81600) has a
24-hour, 7-day timer that turns the steambath generator ON
and OFF. At the end of the "ON" cycle, the boiler is auto-
matically blown down, discharging daily accumulation of
minerals and salts which if not drained may affect steam gen-
erator performance and operation.
2. An optional control circuit transformer provides control
circuit voltage from the power supply voltage. This option
is in lieu of the need for a separate control circuit.
3. An optional Auxiliary Manual Reset Low Water Cutoff
serves as a back up to the standard liquid level control as
required in some jurisdictions.

Automatic Blowdown Operation & Testing
NOTE:
The Time Clock controls boiler operation. The boiler is on
when the timer is on. The Blowdown Valve will open when the
timer turns the boiler off. See page 24 for Time Clock instructions
To provide for safe and low temperature blow-
down, and to comply with National and local plumbing and building
Codes, it may be necessary to blowdown into an ASM Code blow-
down separator tank, or to take other precautions to prevent damage
to building drain plumbing. Consult with a licensed plumber.
Burn Hazard. Pressurized Steam and Hot Water
is discharged during blowdown.
1.
Turn the override switch to permanent ON (I).
2. Turn the generator On/Off Switch to “ON”. On/Off Switch pilot
light and generator should be “ON”. Motorized drain valve should
be closed. Auto blowdown light should be “OFF”.
3. Turn the override switch to permanent OFF (0). On/Off Switch
pilot light and generator should be “OFF”. Auto blowdown light
should be “ON” Motorized drain valve remains open for approxi-
mately 10 seconds.
4. After 10 seconds: Motorized drain valve closes. Auto blowdown
light should be “OFF”. On/Off Switch pilot light and generator
remains “OFF”.
5. Turn the override switch to automatic
( ).
NOTE: AS E blowdown separator tank systems are available
from r. Steam. For more information please contact
r. Steam at 1-800-76 STEA .
