INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Refer to IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION and SPECIFICATION sections before undertaking
installation.
The installation, supply cable and circuit protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE wiring
regulations) and be sufficient for the amperage required.
WARNING:
!
conductor to the terminal block within the appliance.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1. The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V ac supply. Any drops in voltage due to
localised heavy demand may reduce the shower's performance
2. The electrical rating of the shower is shown on the rating label (Fig.3) within the unit.
3. Before making any sort of electrical connection within the installation make sure that no terminal
is live. If in any doubt, switch off the whole installation at the mains supply and remove the correct
fuse.
4. The shower must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT be
connected to a ring main, spur socket outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.
5. The electrical supply must be adequate for the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
6. Check your consumer unit (main fuse box) has a main switch rating of 80Amps or above and that
it has a spare fuse way which will take the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) necessary for the
shower rating.
7. If your consumer unit has a rating below 80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the installation
will not be straightforward and may require a new consumer unit serving the house or just the
shower. Contact a professional electrician/ local electricity company for advisement.
8. For close circuit protection DO NOT use a rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated Miniature
Circuit Breaker (MCB) or cartridge fuse. Triton recommend the following circuit protection:
9. A 30mA residual current device (RCD) MUST be installed in all UK electric and pumped shower
circuits. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.
