4. Installation
4.1 Installation of wall/ceiling mounted versions
Wall or ceiling mounted versions must be securely fastened to the wall/ceiling or other
special structure. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction
and is to be decided by the installation company.
4.2 Installation of over-door mounted versions
The over-door models are delivered with an already attached valve adapter (type A) for
installation of the rod-operated valve to the right of the door. If an installation to the left of the
door is required, then the attached valve adapter (type A) must be replaced by another valve
adapter (type B), which is also included in the delivery. The specialist tool (C31), which is also
included in the delivery, must be used to attach the valve adapter to the ball cock. The nut of
the ball cock must be tightened with a standard screw locking device.
4.3 Installation of freestanding body safety showers
Freestanding body safety showers must be securely fastened to the surface using the base
plate. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction and is to be
decided by the installation company.
4.4 Installation of safety shower cubicles
Safetyshowercubiclesmustbesecurelyscrewedtothesuboorbymeansofthebase
plates. The technique required to fasten the shower depends on the construction and is to be
decided by the installation company.
4.5 Models with eye showers
4.5.1 Models with safety eye showers combine the eye shower and body safety shower using
the provided adapter
4.5.2 Models with hand-held eye showers mount the bracket of the hand-held eye shower
at a height of approximately 900 mm. Connect the hand-held eye shower to the body
safety shower with the hose using the double adapter.
4.5.3 Models with eye/face wash units remove the base of the eye shower. Drill the holes for
the pipe clamps using the template provided. Place the eye shower at a height of 970
mm on the body safety shower and fasten it using the pipe clamps, screws and nuts.
Install the base. Connect the eye shower to the body safety shower with the hose using
the double adapter.
4.6 Models with optional platform actuation
Platformactuatorsmustbesecurelyscrewedtotheoor.Whichtypeoffastenersare
required must be determined at the installation site by installation personnel depending upon
the type of foundation.
The actuating chain is cut to length at the factory. During setup at the installation site, it
must be assured that the actuating chain opens the valve all the way when the platform is
subjected to full loading, but it must also have a small amount of remaining free play. If there
is no free play, for example due to an out-of-level foundation, the chain must be lengthened
because the shower valve will otherwise be damaged.

The return spring is also preset at the factory. During setup at the installation site, it must be
assured that the spring holds the platform up, and that the actuating chain to the valve is not
subjected to any load.
4.7 Models with eye shower and optional foot lever actuation
The actuating chain is cut to length at the factory. During setup at the installation site, it
must be assured that the actuating chain opens the valve all the way when the platform is
subjected to full loading, but it must also have a small amount of remaining free play. If there
is no free play, for example due to an out-of-level foundation, the chain must be lengthened
because the shower valve will otherwise be damaged.
4.8 Models with optional catch basin
Thewateroutletisequippedwitha2”maledrainpipe.Waterdisposalxturesrequired
forfurthertransportofwastewatermustbeclariedattheinstallationsite.Asaresult
of the shower’s design, splash water will also fall outside of the catch basin, especially in
consideration of the fact that the user causes additional dispersion. If the possibility exists
that this may result in danger, please make use of our housings.
5. Water supply
The FAR body safety showers must be connected to drinking water. The drinking water
network must be set up in accordance with DIN 1988 and DIN EN 1717.
CAUTION! For new installations the water supply system must be rinsed out before
connecting the shower in order to prevent dirt damaging the valve. The high-performance
shower head must be deinstalled during this process. It must be reinstalled after the
rinsing process. The high-performance shower head can be fastened and tightened
using a pin type face wrench (item no. BR 010 100).
6. Electrical Connection
All heated safety showers and safety showers with optional electrical accessories must be
connected to the available electricity supply system of the factory.
If the safety shower is equipped with electrically operated options, supply power must be
protected with an appropriately dimensioned fuse, as well as an RCCB (residual current
circuit breaker) with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA. All of the shower system’s
metallic components must be electrically connected to equipotential bonding included in
the existing electrical system. Any special building requirements (such as Ex zones, EMC,
corrosion protection etc.) must be examined on-site and taken into consideration as required.
Inspection and testing of all safety equipment (safety measures) for correct functioning must
be executed and documented. All applicable VDE and other overriding requirements must
be observed and adhered to. Safety shower systems can be ordered for use in potentially
explosiveatmospheres.Makesurethatthesystemisappropriatelyidentiedforuseinthe
required environment before initial start-up in hazardous areas!
7. Safety labelling
The enclosed safety label (self-adhesive label) is to be attached near the FAR body safety shower.

10.1 Maintenance
The FAR safety showers must be checked for operation at least once a month. This is also
set out in the BGI/GUV-I 850-0 guidelines from BG Chemie. For this purpose, the shower must
be turned on for approximately 5 seconds. This not only checks the operation of the shower
itself but also replaces the water in the shower with fresh water (contamination protection).
During the course of this test, the shower is to also be inspected visually to see how it closes
and if any leaks or dirt, such as dust or lime scale, are apparent. Faulty parts must be replaced
immediately.
10.2 Problems

The shower drips continuously.
The shower drips continuously.
The body safety shower does not automatically switch itself off after use.
Possible cause
Water pressure or cross section of the connecting pipes is too low.
Water pressure is too low, supply line cross-section is too small or the jet regulator is
contaminated.
The valve does not close properly.
The valve seal is damaged.
This is NOT a fault. This is a requirement according to DIN standards.
Possible solution
Check the piping. Ensure that the piping has a minimum diameter of ¾ inches and that the
water pressure is at least 1bar.
Unscrew the jet regulator and clean the regulator and sieve (blue). If water pressure is too low,
low-pressure diffusers
are available as accessories.
Check the valve for damage and ensure that the valve is pushed back into a fully-closed position.
Replace the valve.
This is NOT a fault. This is a requirement according to DIN standards.
11. Disposal

4.2 Water supply for eye showers
TheFAReyeshowersareconnectedwiththewallange,thetablemountingaccessoriesor
the water supply, which is provided for it.
5. Safety labelling
Theenclosedsafetylabel(self-adhesiveinformationsign)shouldbeaxedbesidetheFAR
eye shower.
6. Location
The location must be selected in accordance with regulation BGI/GUV-I 850-0 of the BG
Chemie. Access must be kept free at all times. Special attention should be given to selecting
a place which can be reached quickly from hazard areas. The injured person must be able
to reach the shower within a maximum of 10 seconds. This necessitates installation at a
distance of no more than 10 meters from the work place.
7. Operating
7.1 Operating of hand-held eye showers
Commissioning the FAR hand-held eye shower is carried out by pressing the button on the
handle. This locks the button in the open position. To switch off the shower, press the button
again while pulling down the locking device.
When suitably mounted, the FAR hand-held eye shower can be operated both in and out of
the bracket (table feed-through, wall bracket). Operating the shower in the holder makes it
possible to hold open the lids of the contaminated eyes with both hands at the same time.
The shower can also be removed from the bracket. This allows other body parts or an injured
personontheoortobetreated.
7.2 Operating of eye showers
Commissioning the FAR eye shower is carried out by pressing the big PUSH lever. This locks
the PUSH lever in the open position. To switch off the shower, pull back the PUSH lever.
7.3 Eyewash in First-Aid-Case
The eye shower should not come into direct contact with the contaminated eye or its
surroundings. The black rubber cup on the shower is only intended to prevent impact injuries.
Optimum rinsing is achieved at a distance of approx. 150 mm. At this distance, the diameter
of the spray cone is approx. 80 mm. To use the shower, it is advisable to hold the eye open
with both hands.
7.4 Self-draining of spray heads
The spray head / spray heads must be emptied each time after use by holding the shower
with the head pointing downwards. This avoids standing water remaining in the spray head
and minimizes the likelihood of microbial contamination.

8. Maintenance
FAR eye showers must undergo a function test at least once a month. This is set down in
regulation BGI/GUV-I 850-0 of the BG Chemie. To do this, activate the shower for approx.
5 seconds. This ensures not only that correct function is tested but that any standing water
in the shower is replaced by fresh water (protection against microbial contamination).
As part of this function test, the shower should be checked visually for signs of wear and tear
and any possible leaks and dirt such as e.g. dust or scale deposits. Inspect the hose for any
twisted, bent or otherwise damaged places. Faulty parts must be replaced immediately.
9. Procedure for leaking hand-held eye showers
After connecting to the cold water system, the hand-held eye shower may have started to
leak. This is generally due to dirt from the water supply which collects in front of the valve.
If this has happened, disconnect the handheld eye shower from the supply. Operate the
shower a few times without pressure and rinse the pipe thoroughly before reconnecting. If the
faultcannotberemediedbythismeanstheenclosedmeshltermustbettedinfrontofthe
stainless steel hose.
