Page 19
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 can- not be securely installed and may fall off. Before installation, check the quality and bearing capacity of the wall intended for installation.
Page 20
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 21
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 plate. Do not pull or hold the device by the plastic housing! 2.
Page 22
Mounting the steam generator 1. CAUTION! Generator with the chassis weighs 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 ne- cessary to install a check valve. Local regulations must also be observed. Lime deposits resulting from hard water have a considerable negative impact on the ...

Notice: Each 90° elbow generates steam flow resistance as approx. 1 m steam pipe length. Note for installations in saunas with humid sauna operation mode The SteamRock II Basic steam generator can be uses as an external steam source for saunas with himid operation mode in combination with a suitable sauna control unit.

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 Spanner 19, 36, 46, 50 NOTICE Contamination of and damage to the vaporiser tank...
Page 27
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.

8. Adjusting the power output The power output of the EOS SteamRock II Basic steam generator must be adjusted to the steam room cabin size, see chaper 2.6 cabin sizes per power rating, page 11. The indicated steam quantity means the maximum possible steam production by continuous op- eration.
Page 38
after the power adjustment. If you are unsure which power to select, start with a lower setting first. Consult EOS service if necessary. CAUTION Risk of scalding by too high humidity and temperature During commissioning, it must be ensured that the programmed power output matches the cabin size and is not able to generate excessive temperatures in the cabin.
9. General operation The steam generator SteamRock II Basic is switched on and off through an external control unit. The control unit, such as e.g. Econ S2, can be ordered at EOS Saunatechnik GmbH. The steam generator does not have an On/Off-switch and is always connected to the mains.
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 heating, you must press the Reset button. CAUTION Risk of burns from hot parts The steam pipe of the steam generator is very hot and can cause burns. Do not touch the steam pipe of the water tank.
10. Cleaning and servicing The SteamRock II Basic steam generator must be serviced and cleaned regularly. The frequency depends on intensity of use. The integrated cleaning and descaling system increases the service life of the steam generator. It does not replace a pre-installed water softening system, which is required by hard water or if used commercially.
Scope of 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 probe 1. Close the water supply. Allow the steam generator to cool for approx. 30–45 minutes. Wear gloves. 2. WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Ensure that the mains connection is disconnected. Dis- connect the connecting cable from the level sensor from the „level sensor“ slot on the main circuit board.
10.3 Dismantle the vaporiser tank with heating spirals If necessary, the vaporiser tank can be opened as follows: Removing the vaporiser tank cover 1. CAUTION! Check if the mains connection has been disconnected and close the water supply. Allow the steam generator to cool for approx.

the water level control on the main board („Water level“ terminal). 13. Loosen the 6 hexagon socket screws along the lid edge. 14. Lift up the cover with all mounted parts until the heating coils have been removed com- pletely from the tank and put this assembly aside. 15.
Page 47
Closing the vaporiser tank Now mount the tank lid with heating coils into the tank. The assembly process 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 deflector plate (a) at the inner side of the lid does not get bent.
