13. Installation
Please refer to the instructions included with the individual products
Before you proceed any further, take a few moments to remove one key from
each key ring (2 sets of 2 keys included) and label the keys you have removed –
we recommend you attach a coloured ribbon to each of these with a strong label
on or write on the ribbon in marker pen to identify these. For example, write
‘SenStation’ on the label or on the ribbon so that if you should ever lose these,
you can identify them easily. As a further failsafe, write on an adhesive label
where the spares can be located and stick this label to the top of the Snoezelen®
SenStation™ or on the power cable – anywhere out of immediate view but where
it can be seen when looked for.
Keep the keys in a safe place and make a note for all users where this is.
You could keep one key from each ring in each lock, but this is not recommended
as removal of the keys will prevent any unwanted access to the interior of the
SenStation™.
1. This product is supplier ready assembled, with the exception of the projector. On
receipt it will need to be carefully taken out of the crate (two
people will be required) and placed on a flat, stable floor.
2. Unpack the projector from its box. The base plate for the
projector will be already attached to the top of the
Snoezelen® SenStation. Attach the projector bracket to this
plate. Connect the power lead by the plate to the socket at
the back of the projector.
3. Remove the protective film from the mirror behind the
Waterless Rainbow Tube.
4. Plug in any additional products into any unused sockets inside the Snoezelen®
SenStation™ as necessary. Access to the interior of the SenStation™ is:
-or by removing one of the wall panels
-or by removing the drawers above the Interactive Aroma Panel
-via the locked doors

The individual sockets for each product are located on the vertical wood behind the
Waterless Tube.
5. Take the Milky Way Mat out of the tall cupboard on one of the long sides. Place the
mat on the floor, close to the SenStation™.
6. The 8 Colour Controller will be packed in its box inside the crate. This is intended to
be placed on its side in the recess at the top of the unit.
7. Plug in the Snoezelen® SenStation™.The plug for this comes out from the bottom of
the door in one of the short sides (the side with the Interactive Aroma Panel). Make
sure the cable comes out of the gap in the door and that it is not trapped in the door.
8. Switch on individual products using the switches on one of the long sides, towards
the top. The switches have illustrations to indicate which switch corresponds to
which product e.g. two switches, one for each of the Deluxe Wall Panels.
Please note: two switches are likely be labelled with an image of a projector. One of
these switches is for the projector on the top of the unit. The other is for a product
of your own (not included).
For ease of use, the individual sockets on the inside of the unit are labelled with the same
illustrations as the white switches on the long side of the unit i.e. the socket for the
Waterless Tube has the same image as the corresponding white switch for that product.

9. Fill the trays and shelves with suitable products (see Technical Specification to decide
what could fit inside these). Suggestions include:
-Effect wheels if a projector is used
-Sensory balls
-Tactile cushions
-Aroma mouse and oils
-Portable UV Lantern and UV
responsive resources
-Our Tactile Squares
-Tactile games and fidgets
-Musical instruments
-Tubs of Putty
-Puzzles
14. Care and Maintenance
1. Move the unit with care:
-Making sure the brakes are released on the castors (see
right)
-Using the integral handles at the short end.
-Pushing the unit (not attempting to lift the unit)
-Do not allow the power cable to be run over by the castors.
2. Wipe the trolley clean with a soft duster. For marks, use a soft
cloth slightly dampened with a little water. Do not use bleach or solvents.
3. Take care not to pull the trays out forcibly. The trays have a locking mechanism on
the runners to help prevent the trays being removed and misplaced. To remove the
trays, gently pull the tray out as far as it will move. Angle the tray to 45° and gently
pull the tray upwards to release it from the runner.
4. The 8 Colour Controller will need to be charged regularly. You may wish to use the
additional socket inside the unit for the charger that is supplied with the 8 Colour
Controller. The cable from the charger could be passed inside the void above the
Waterless Tube to avoid users accessing this cable. Alternatively, the recommended
solution would be to charge the 8 Colour Controller when required using a separate
wall socket altogether.

15. Troubleshooting
In the unlikely event of product failure, please check the following:
Problem: Individual electrical products not working
• Check that product is properly plugged into one of the sockets inside the unit, and that the
corresponding ON/OFF switch is set to ON (the switches with the product images on).
•Make sure the power lead is plugged in to a wall socket and that this is switched ON
•Check the 13 Amp fuse in the plug
Problem: The mirror behind the Waterless Tube is cloudy
• Remove the protective film from the mirror before use
Problem: The Milky Way mat does not light up
• Check that the boss from the mat (the solid plug at the end of the fibre optic cable that
comes out of the carpet) is secured inside the light source. This light source is located on
the bottom of the Snoezelen® SenStation™, in the void between the backs of the Deluxe
Wall Panels. The boss is secured inside the front port (metal tubular opening) of the light
source by a screw. It may be necessary to temporarily remove a Deluxe Wall Panel from the
Snoezelen® SenStation™ to access this light source
Problem: The fibre optic strands near the Waterless Tube do not light up
• Check that the boss from the fibre optic harness (the solid plug at the end of the fibre
optic cables) is secured inside the light source. This light source is located towards the top
of the Snoezelen® SenStation™, above the Waterless Tube. The boss is secured inside the
front port (metal tubular opening) of the light source by a screw. Check that the power lead
at the back of the light source is firmly connected to the back of the light source. To access
this light source, unlock and open the door on the top of the SenStation™. Take care to
make sure the hinged door does not fall back onto the 8 Colour Conroller (in the recess at
the top) or onto the Projector.
Problem: The Waterless Tube does not light up
• Check that the power cable is connected to the chassis of the Waterless Tube (the cable is
plugged into the circular socket on the red sticker of the round base of the tube). The
power supply for the Waterless Tube is next to the Light Source for the Milky Way Mat (on
the base, inside the unit, in the void between the Deluxe Wall Panels).
Problem: The Waterless Tube does not react to its controller
Check the controller’s battery. If the buttons and the display do not illuminate at all,
replace the battery immediately.
Check the controller’s display. If the display says “oor” this means “out of range”. To
reset this, do not press the controller for 60 seconds. In the meantime use other
ROMPA® Wi Fi products (e.g. Deluxe Wall Panels, 8 Colour Controller) to reset the
controller. After 60 seconds, use the controller again and it should work.
Problem: The Aroma Panel freezes when pressing the coloured ‘switches’.
Turn the panel off and leave it for 60 seconds, turn the panel back on.
