General safety instruction - Mounting and electric installation WARNING Risk of poisoning from steam Descaler can react with other chemicals, which can create poisonous steam. Place the container for descaler only under the steam generatorand secure it so it • does not tip.
Page 10
General safety instruction - Mounting and electric installation NOTICE Damage to the unit due to high levels of lime Lime deposits clog the vaporiser tank, slowing down the transfer of heat to the water. This can lead to malfunctions because of overheating and blockages in the drain. A water softening system does not replace regular descaling.

General safety instruction - Operator Instruction The operator of the steam generator must be instructed in the general safety instructions dur- ing commissioning. The operator must be given a copy of the instructions for use. DANGER Risk of electric shock A risk to life and limb from electric shock and fire arises in the event of improper repair work.

5.3 Installation location requirements The steam generator is only intended for installation outside of steam rooms and is connected to the room via a steam pipe. The following climatic conditions must be met at the installation site: Ambient temperature during operation 5°C to 40°C Air humidity during operation 30% to 75% rel.
Page 20
NOTICE Damage due to inadequate installation site The steam generator may vibrate slightly when the water boils. If the wall bearing capacity is insufficient or the wall is of poor quality, the steam generator cannot be securely installed and may fall off. Before installation, check the quality and bearing capacity of the wall intended for instal- lation.
5.4 Mounting the steam generator The steam generator is mounted on the wall with four (4) retaining screws and suitable anchors. Note that the steam generator may vibrate slightly when the water boils. Ensure that you have sufficient hardware for securing it if you do not use the supplied screws and anchors. Necessary steps: Preparing for installation Loosen the vaporiser from the shipping plate...
Page 22
Loosen the steam generator from the shipping plate 1. CAUTION! Vaporiser and shipping plate weigh approx. 35 kg. Obtain help from a second person.. Lift the steam generator out of the shipping box with the shipping pla- te. Do not pull or hold the device by the plastic housing! 2.
Page 23
Mounting the steam generator 1. CAUTION! Generatlr and back wall of housing weigh approx. 28 kg. Two people are needed to mount the unit. Hang the generator on the pre-mounted screws by inserting the screws that are on the top of the rear of the unit into the keyholes and then allow the steam generator to drop down gently until it catches in place.
5.5 Water and steam pipes NOTICE The connection for the water supply line and drain outlet must comply with the European Union’s current applicable standards DIN 1988/EN 1717 and DIN 1986/EN 12056. It may be necessary to install a check valve. Local regulations must also be observed. •...

Positioning the steam pipe correctly Correctly and incorrectly positioned steam pipe • The pipeline for steam emission must be capable of withstanding temperatures up to 110°C. A copper pipe with a diameter of 35 mm is preferable. • The copper pipe must be insulated with material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 110°C, e.g.
Page 26
Connecting the cold water supply line Connect the cold water supply to the 3/4“ water supply line on the base plate of the housing with the supplied hose.. Connecting the water supply Connecting the drain outlet 1 Screw a drain pipe onto the 1“ thread of the drain pipe. Alternately, a hose can also be attached and tightened.
5.6 Mounting the steam pipe Necessary steps • Connecting the steam supply to the housing floor Hardware + tools: • Ø 35 mm pipe, heat-resistant up to 110°C • T-piece: 1 1/4’’ for steam supply, 3/8’’ for essence nozzle • Silicone, heat-resistant up to 110°C •...
Page 28
NOTICE Damage to the steam supply If the injection nozzle for essence is inserted from the side into the vertical pipe or from below into the horizontal pipe, it is possible for essence to dry up before drops of it reach the rising steam. In such instances, a sticky substance can form, which can block the injection nozzle and the pipe.

Securing nut Steam pipe Image shows 18 kW version Lay the steam pipe so it descends towards the steam outlet without any sharp 90° bends. Positioning the steam pipe correctly Check the screws in the tubular heating elements and tighten as needed (SW 19). Rotate the steam pipe upwards and lay it in ascending order Cut out the pre-punched opening for the ascending pipe in the housing.

6.6 Leakage current The leakage current must not exceed the following values in accordance with DIN EN 60335- 1:2012-10: For stationary class I heating appliances: 0.75 mA or 0.75 mA per kW rated power input of the heating unit, whichever is higher, up to a maximum of 5mA. The electricity supply must be protected by a residual-current-operated protective device (RCD) with a rated fault current of <30 mA.
The approved cleaner is available at EOS as an accessory. The warranty will be void by the use of an unsuitable and unapproved cleaner liquid.
Page 38
7.2 Functioning of the cleaning system The steam generator features an integrated automatic descaling and draining system. This system will automatically descale the water tank at certain intervals. These intervals depend on the evaporated water quantity. They do not depend on the total “switched on” time which may have certain intervals without actual steam production.
8. Adjustment of the performance SteamRock II Basic steam generators have a fast-tuning performance that can be adjusted to the cabin size in a few seconds on-site. The switching capacity is set by means of F-fuses (see Fig. 9) on the main terminal block.
Page 40
Special attention is required for power increase. If you are unsure which power to select, start with a lower setting first. If necessary, contact EOS Customer Service. CAUTION Risk of scalding from excessive humidity and temperature During commissioning, it must be ensured that the set power matches the cabin size and is not able to generate excessive temperatures in the cabin.
The SteamRock II Basic does not have an on / off switch. The device is permanently connected to the mains and is switched on and off by an external control by wiring the inputs WB, S1 and N.
9.1 Resetting the safety temperature limiter (STB) The safety temperature limiter (STB) switches off the heater if the vaporiser tank overheats. To restart the heater, you must press the Reset button. CAUTION Risk of burns from hot parts The steam pipe on the base plate is very hot. Do not touch the steam pipe.
10. Cleaning and servicing The SteamRock II Basic steam generator must be serviced and cleaned regularly. The frequency de- pends on how often it is used. The integrated cleaning and descaling system increases the service life of the steam generator. It does not replace an upstream water softening system, which is re- quired for hard water or if used commercially.

Servicing • Check and clean all pipes as needed • Check and clean the drain as needed • Check and replace the pump hose for the descaling pump and essence pump as needed • Visual inspection: Lime scale in the vaporiser tank •...

Checking the level sensor Disconnect the connecting cable from the level sensor from the „level sensor“ slot on the main circuit board. Then unscrew the 3 socket screws (A), pull out the plate (B) with seal (C) and level sensor upwards. Check the tip of the rod electrode (D) for calcification.
10.3 Dismantle the vaporiser tank with heating spirals If necessary, the vaporiser tank can be opened as follows: Removing the cover from the vaporiser tank 1. CAUTION! Check if the mains connection has been disconnected and close the water supply. Allow the steam generator to cool for approx.
Page 47
13. Loosen the 6 hexagon socket screws above on the cover. 14. Lift up the cover with the connection parts until the heating coils have been removed completely from the vaporiser tank. 15. Remove lime scale mechanically from the floor and inner walls of the vaporiser tank. Clean the walls with chemicals, as needed.
Page 48
Closing the vaporiser tank Now mount the cover with heating spirals on the container. The assembly takes place in the reverse order. Make sure that the silicone sealing ring fits the mounting holes so that the socket screws can be screwed in. Please also note that the baffle plate (a) at the bottom of the container lid does not bend.
11. Troubleshooting SteamRock II Basic steam generator will display the operation states and common malfunctions by flashing of the main operation LED (pilot lamp) on the bottom housing of the unit. Flashing codes of the status LED: • Off - Steam generator switched off •...
