INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TIME AND
TEMPERATURE CONTROL with REMOTE CONTROL
MODELS JR-1, JR-2, JR-3, JR-4
Before commencing with these instructions, ensure that the RELAX-A-MIST
TM
steam generator has been installed according
to the steam generator installation instructions.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The RELAX-A-MIST
TM
time and temperature control is a
simple programmable control. The user friendly design
has programmable time and temperature settings. Once
a program is set and running, you may temporarily over
ride the settings by pressing the time or temperature
buttons and pushing the applicable increment arrow.
Upon completion of the timed setting, or halting your
steam bath with the “on/off” button, your temporary over
ride setting will return to the programmed default settings.
Your steam bath is ready for your next use. Power supply
interruptions will not change or delete your default time
and temperature settings.
The digital time and temperature control comes as a
package complete with the following:
1. One programmable time and temperature control.
2. One remote control.
3. One 25 foot cord set (steam generator connection
wire to control) with a modular male plug-in at the
steam unit and a modular female plug-in at the control
in the steam shower or steam room.
The programmable time and temperature control must be
located inside the steam room, approximately 4 feet off
the finished floor and NOT in an area above the steam
nozzles. The thermostat sensor is built into the bottom of
the control. The remote control can only operate the main
control from a direct line of site.
NOTE: Inside of the steam room, the six inch wire on the
back of the Time & Temperature control (with the male
plug), connects into the 25 foot wire (with the female plug).
At the steam generator, the male plug from the 25 foot
wire connects to the female plug located on the side of the
steam generator’s electrical box marked “Timer Switch
and 24 VAC”. The cord set modular female connection
must be identified at the steam generator (do not plug the
switch cord into the automatic drain connection). The
control’s 25 foot cord set wire must be installed during the
rough in, with the male end at the steam generator and
the female end at the area in the steam bath where the
control will be installed on the wall.
2. ROUGH IN
ELECTRICAL (According to local electrical code)
Check to ensure that the Relax-A-Mist
TM
steam
generator has been installed according
LR42682
to the steam generator installation instructions.
Install only the RELAX-A-MIST
TM
25 foot cord set wire
(compatible with the Quick Touch Timer or the Time and
Temperature Control) ensuring that the modular male plug
is located in the area where the steam generator is to be
installed. The modular female connector of the 25 foot
wire should protrude out of the wall about 6 inches into the
shower or steam room where the control will be installed.
You will need to make the hole in the cement board and
the finished tile approx. 7/8" diameter to allow the modular
wire connectors from the control and the 25 foot cord set
to pass back inside the wall for the final installation. DO
NOT ADHERE CONTROL TO WALL UNTIL YOU HAVE
COMPLETED THE STEAM GENERATOR START UP
AND CONTROL PRETEST.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION:
DO NOT STRETCH WIRE TIGHT. DO NOT STAPLE
THE WIRE TO STUDS. CHECK ORIENTATION OF
MODULAR CONNECTORS ON CONTROL CORD SET.
NOTE: The electrical "supply" for the steam generator
CANNOT be switched directly by the time and
temperature control.

The power supply cable must be run directly to the
steam generator from the fuse or circuit breaker
panel. The factory supplied cord set must be run from
the steam generator to the timer control. The control
through the class 2 voltage circuitry, activates a
contactor in the steam generator.
3. FINAL INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL (According to Local Electrical Code)
Check to ensure that the RELAX-A-MIST
TM
steam
generator has been installed according to the steam
generator installation instructions.
Caution: Identify modular connector lock position
before inserting into female connections on
steam unit or switch.
a) At the steam generator electric box, side panel,
remove the protective label from the modular female
plug marked “Remove to Insert Modular
Connector”. Note: There may be a second plug for
Optional Automatic Drain.
b) Insert the male plug of the 25 foot timer cord set, with
the retaining tab to bottom, into the steam
generator electrical box female plug. The female socket
is marked "TIMER SWITCH” and “24 VAC". (The other
female plug is for the optional automatic drain feature.
This female plug may be sealed with a blank plastic cover
if the auto drain option was not factory ordered.).
c) Insert the other end of the 25 foot steam generator
connection cord set onto the male plug of the
programmable time and temperature control.
DO NOT CUT FACTORY WIRING TO INSTALL THE
TIME AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
DO NOT FORCE MODULAR CONNECTIONS.
DO NOT ADHERE TIME AND TEMPERATURE
CONTROL TO THE WALL UNTIL THE CONTROL
PRETEST IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED.
d) Once the control pretest is completed, tuck the
excess cord behind the switch into the wall or
electrical box if provided. Peel and stick the control to
the wall. If a gap appears between the wall and the
switch, the perimeter of the switch may be sealed
with silicone, or if single gang electrical box is
provided, adjust the electrical box so as not to
protrude through the finished surface of the wall.
DISCLAIMER
The above information represents suggestions only. Each steam room is unique. RELAX-A-MIST manufactures steam
generators only and therefore can not warrant information given regarding steam room materials or construction techniques.
Final selection of the steam room temperature setting and duration of stay is at the discretion of the operators or owners.
STEAM GENERATOR START UP and CONTROL PRETEST
To start, make sure that the electrical and water supplies are turned off and that the programmable switch is not illuminated.
Turn on the water supply to the steam generator. No water will enter as the electricity is still off at this point.
Turn on the electrical supply to the steam generator at the electrical panel or power supply switch to start the pretest.
When the correct voltage is supplied to the steam generator the control will illuminate the digits to display 3 bars. Press the
”on/off” button. This will illuminate the display in the control to show numbers (changes from bars) and will energize the
steam generator contactor coil which will be noticeable by an audible "click". When the steam unit’s contactors close, the
water level device and water valve will be energized. The water entering the boiler will be audible in the form of several short
"spurts". The water will stop entering the boiler when the optimum water level has been achieved. The contactor and water
valve are indicated by a red LED light and a green LED light illuminating on the circuit board in the steam generator electrical
box. Once the steam unit water level is satisfied, the green LED light will turn off and the red LED light will remain illuminated,
indicating the steam unit is in the heating mode. Turn off the control as the pretest is now complete.
Peel and stick the control to the wall in the shower or steam room. Press the “on/off” button and start the steam unit.
Approximately 2 minutes after starting the control the steam generator will produce steam and it will be entering the shower
or steam room. The first time the generator is turned on (during the start up), there may be an initial burst of hot water from
the steam nozzle until the steam line has come up to temperature. The water from this start up test should be captured as
it may contain impurities from the soldering process during the rough-in connection of the steam lines. When the steam room
has heated to the control’s programmed set point, sit back and enjoy, RELAX-A-MIST
TM

HOW THE SWITCH WORKS:
The “on/off” button starts and stops the control programs. After a program has been set and saved, simply press the “on/off”
button and temperature and time will be displayed on the readout (only one program can be set and run at a time).
When the “on/off” button is pushed the control readout will first display the temperature of the steam room, followed by the
temperature set point flashing and then the programmed steam bath time in minutes. If the room temperature is lower than
the controls set point temperature, the steam generator heating cycle will start. The heating cycle will raise the temperature
in the steam room to the preset programmed temperature during the count down of the programmed time. When the room
temperature matches the preset temperature (average steam room 115
0
F, or at your temperature setting) the control will
start and stop the heat and steam entering the room within approximately one degree of the temperature set point. Once
the control has begun the time count down cycle, you may switch the display from time to temperature and adjust the settings
by pressing either the “time” or “temperature” button and the up and down arrows.
While enjoying a steam bath you may override the programmed settings by selecting the time or temperature button. Push
the time button to display the time and arrow up or down for this steam room visit (use) only. Push the temp button and arrow
up or down to change the temperature display reading from “C” to “F”. A second push of the “temp” button while in the temp
mode, will display the set point reading for 15 seconds and can be arrowed up or down to adjust the temperature for this
steam room visit (use) only. Pressing the up or down buttons until the desired increment is reached will not affect your
programmed settings (program settings can only be changed when they are flashing).
When the count down time is complete, the display will change to the 3 red bars and the steam generator will shut off.
You may halt your steam bath program at any time by pushing the “on/off” button.

SAFETY PARAMETERS IN YOUR PROGRAM:
There are built in safety parameters in your program that you can not change. These safety controls were built in during the
manufacture and limit the time and temperature of your steam room. They control the steam room heat time, the maximum
temperature the room will reach and the length of time one steam visit should last. These parameters are automatically reset
after each use. Maximum temperature 120
0
F or 49
0
C. Maximum length of steam visit for one cycle - 60 minutes.
