Control Features
Installation Instructions
The TC-110 control may be installed inside or
outside the steam room. For convenience the
recommended height from the floor is four feet.
Provide a 1” hole in the wall at this location (see
Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Multi-conductor cable must be
installed so that the end will not be buried inside the
wall. The unit will not operate unless the control is
installed.
1. Pre-Installation - Control Location
a)
Remove the multi-conductor cable from the control
packing box. Carefully route the multi-conductor
control cable from the Steambath Generator to the
TC-110 located either inside or outside the
steamroom (see Figure 2). Route multi-conductor
cable though a ¾” conduit to protect the cable from
damage and to facilitate replacement if necessary.
2. Electrical Rough-in
a)
IMPORTANT: The TC-110 Control will only function with one of the following Steamist Generator models:
SM-46, SM-79, SM-4, SM-5, SM-7, SM-8, SM-11, SM-12, and SM-15. (It will not work with Models:

Locate the previously installed cable and black
plastic strain relief clamp which is in the control
packing box. Locate the knock-out on the steam
generator for the control cable (see Figure 2).
Place strain relief around cable about seven inches
from the end and insert into the hole. Remove the
protective covering labeled, “Remove before
installation,” from the modular jack found on the PC
board.
If a second control will be installed, plug the splitter
into the modular jack, this will allow two cables to be
plugged into the PC board.
IMPORTANT: The Steamist supplied splitter must
be used. Locally purchased telephone splitters will
NOT work and void the warranty.
Remove the protective cap from the
multi-conductor cable plug. Connect the cable to
the modular jack located on the printed circuit board
of the Steam Generator.
Close and secure generator cover.
Plug cable into receptacle on the back of the
TC-110 control. The receptacle is keyed for proper
installation.
WARNING: Test the control for operation before
continuing on to the next step.

Peel adhesive liner from back of the control. Apply
the control to the wall. Press firmly and hold for a
few seconds.
After the control is in place, apply silicone
(supplied) around the control to form a water tight
seal (see Figure 3).
IMPORTANT: If the TC-110 is mounted on the
inside of the shower, the adhesive backing on the
control will NOT seal it to the wall. It is the
responsibility of the installer to seal this control to
the wall using the silicone sealant provided.
Warranty is voided if the control is not completely
sealed to the wall.

Steamhead Installation
All instructions must be given to the
homeowner for future reference.
WARNING: When installing a steam pipe into a steam
room made out of Acrylic, Cultured Marble, Corian,
Swanstone, Resin, Plastic or an equivalent type of
material, consult the manufacturer of the material for their
recommendation on location of the steam pipe. Verify that
the type of material used for the construction of the steam
room is rated for a steam room environment. When
installing a steam pipe, in the mentioned material type
rooms, it is very critical in making sure that when the
steam pipe protrudes into the steam room that it is
centered in its 1¼” hole and does not touch the edge of
the wall material around the steam pipe.
IMPORTANT: An optional steam diffuser (Not Included)
is strongly recommended for small steam rooms. This
option helps to better diffuse the steam and makes the
steambath more comfortable. This option may not be
necessary in larger steam rooms where the bather is
sitting a few feet away from the steamhead.
