ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The installation, supply cable and circuitprotection must conform with IEE wiringregulations and be sufficient for theamperage required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1 The shower must only be connected to a 230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a showerwith a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it is advisableto contact the local electricity supply company.
1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shownon the rating label (see below) within the unit.
2 Before making any sort of electricalconnection within the installation, ensure thatno terminal is live. If in any doubt, switch off thewhole installation at the consumer unit.
3 The shower must be connected to its ownindependent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT beconnected to a ring main, spur, socket outlet,lighting circuit or cooker circuit.
3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate forthe loading of the unit and existing circuits.
4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)has a main switch rating of 80A or above andthat it has a spare fuse way which will take thefuse or miniature circuit breaker (MCB)necessary for the shower (see schematic ofinstallation circuit opposite).
4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then theinstallation will not be straight forward and mayrequire a new consumer unit serving the houseor just the shower.
4.2 You will need to contact the local electricitycompany. They will check the circuit and carryout what is necessary. They will also check themain bonding.
5 The earth continuity conductor of theelectrical installation must be effectivelyconnected electrically to all exposed metal partsof other appliances and services in the room inwhich the shower is to be installed, to conformto current IEE regulations.
5.1 All exposed metallic parts in the bathroommust be bonded together using a cable of atleast 4mm2 cross sectional area. These partsinclude metal baths, radiators, water pipes, tapsand waste fittings.

6 For close circuit protection DO NOT use arewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably ratedminiature circuit breaker or cartridge fuse (seetable below).
6.1 In the interest of electrical safety a 30mAresidual current device (RCD) should be installedin all UK electric and pumped shower circuits.This may be part of the consumer unit or aseparate unit.
7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switch with aminimum contact gap of 3mm in both polesmust be incorporated in the circuit.
7.1 It must have a mechanical indicatorshowing when the switch is in the OFF position,and the wiring must be connected to the switchwithout the use of a plug or socket outlet.
7.2 The switch must be accessible and clearlyidentifiable, but out of reach of a person using afixed bath or shower, except for the cord of acord operated switch, and should be placed sothat it is not possible to touch the switch bodywhile standing in a bath or shower cubicle. Itshould be readily accessible to switch off afterusing the shower.
8 Where shower cubicles are located in anyrooms other than bathrooms, all socket outletsin those rooms must be protected by a 30mARCD.
9 To obtain full advantage of the powerprovided by the shower, use the shortest cableroute possible from the consumer unit to theshower.
9.1 The current carrying capacity of the cablemust be at least that of the shower circuitprotection (see table below).
9.2 It is also necessary to satisfy thedisconnection time and thermal constraintswhich mean that for any given combination ofcurrent demand, voltage drop and cable size,there is a maximum permissible circuit length.
10 The shower circuit should be separated fromother circuits by at least twice the diameter ofthe cable or conduit.
10.1 The current rating will be reduced if thecabling is bunched with others, surrounded bythermal loft or wall insulation or placed in areaswhere the ambient temperature is above 30°C.Under these conditions, derating factors applyand it is necessary to select a larger cable size.
10.2 In the majority of installations, the cablewill unavoidably be placed in one or more of theabove conditions. This being so, it is stronglyrecommended to use a minimum of 10mmcabling throughout the shower installation.
10.3 It is essential that individual site conditionsare assessed by a competent electrician todetermine correct cable size and permissiblecircuit length.

WATER REQUIREMENTSThe installation must be in accordance withWater Regulations/Byelaws.
To ensure activation of the heating elements,the shower must be connected to a mains watersupply with a minimum running pressure of100kPa (1.0 bar) at a minimum flow rate of ninelitres per minute with a maximum staticpressure of 1000kPa (10 bar).
Note: For the 10.5kW rated shower, theminimum running pressure must be 150kPa (1.5bar) at a minimum flow rate of eleven litres perminute with a maximum static pressure of1000kPa (10 bar). If the stated flow rates arenot available, it may not be possible to achieveoptimum performance from the unitthroughout the year.
Under site conditions where the power supply isbelow 220 volts and the mains water pressure isabove 5 bar, it is recommended to fit a pressurereducing valve set at 3.5 bar.
A typical system layout is shown below.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.
During periods of high ambient temperatures itmay be necessary to select a low power settingto achieve your preferred shower temperature.The water supply can be taken from a coldwater storage cistern provided there is aminimum head of ten metres above thesprayhead (but fifteen metres for the 10.5kW
rated shower). It must be an independentsupply to the shower only.
If it is intended to operate the shower atpressures above the maximum or below theminimum stated, contact Customer Service.
SITING OF THE SHOWER
FOR EASE OF SERVICING, THE UNIT MUSTALWAYS BE MOUNTED ON THE SURFACE OFTILED WALLS. NEVER TILE UP TO THE UNIT.
Refer to the illustration below for correct sitingof the shower.
Position the unit where it will NOT be in directcontact with water from the sprayhead. Positionthe shower unit vertically.
Allow sufficient room between the ceiling andthe shower to access the cover top screws.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be mounted ona flat surface which covers the full width andlength of the backplate, otherwise difficultymay arise when fitting the cover and

subsequent operation of the unit may beimpaired.
Note: Water regulations require the sprayheadbe ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachmentso that it can only discharge water at a pointnot less than 25mm above the spill-over level ofthe relevant bath, shower tray or other fixedappliance’. The use of the supplied soap dishwill in most cases meet this requirement, but ifthe sprayhead can be placed within a bath,basin or shower tray, then a double check valve,or similar, must be fitted in the supply pipeworkto prevent back-flow.
Liquid Crystal Display
This shower unit has a LCD which has anoptimum viewing angle that is slightly beloweye level. Therefore position the unit so thedisplay is at nose level. For multiple users ofvarying heights, an optimum shower heightmust be arrived at.
Pressure relief safety device
A pressure relief device (PRD) is designed intothe shower unit which complies with Europeanstandards. The PRD provides a level of applianceprotection should an excessive build up ofpressure occur within the shower.
DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged orkinked shower hose, or a blocked sprayheadwhich can cause the PRD to operate.
Ensure the PRD outlet at the bottom of the unitis not blocked.
When commissioning, the sprayhead must beremoved from the flexible hose. Failure to followthis procedure may cause the PRD to operate.
Ensure the shower is positioned over a bath orshower tray because if the PRD operates, thenwater will eject from the bottom of the unit.Should this happen, turn off the electricity andwater supplies to the shower at the isolatingswitch and stopvalve. Contact Customer Servicefor advice on replacing the PRD.
FITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALLNote: The control knob is an integral part of thecover – do not attempt to remove it.
Unscrew the two top and one bottom retainingscrews. There is no need to completely removethe screws, just sufficient to lift the cover fromthe backplate. To facilitate the pipe and cableconnections, remove the trimplate by just liftingaway from the backplate.
Entry positions for the mains water are from thetop, bottom or back. Cable entry is via the top,bottom or back.
Note: Deviations from the designated entrypoints will invalidate product approvals.
If bottom surface entry is required, then thenecessary hole will need to be cut out in the‘thinned section’ of the trimplate using a juniorhacksaw and file.
If bottom or rear entry ischosen, the pipe trimwill need to be fittedin the top entryposition on thebackplate as shown.The pipe trim ispackagedseparately.
Area to keep clear
WARNING!
If planning to use a silicon seal aroundthe backplate edge, do not place
sealant in the area of the PRD exitchannel.

Screw the top left hand fixing screw intoposition leaving the base of the screw headprotruding 6mm (0.25in) out from the wall.
Hook the backplate over this screw, then fit theother two fixing screws into position.
Do not fully tighten the screws at this stage, asthe fixing holes are elongated to allow for out ofsquare adjustment after the plumbing
connections have been completed.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing to precede wiring.
DO NOT use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.
DO NOT use soldered fittings within the vicinityof the shower unit.
Compression fittings MUST be used to connectto the inlet of the shower.
Note: An additional stopvalve (complying withWater Regulations) MUST be fitted in the mainswater supply to the shower as an independentmeans of isolating the water supply shouldmaintenance or servicing be necessary.
Procedure
Turn off the watersupply either at themains stopvalve orthe isolatingstopvalve. Connectthe mains watersupply to the inlet ofthe shower via15mm copper,stainless steel orplastic pipe using a15mm x 15mmelbow compressionfitting. The plastic filter protrudes from the inletso ensure it is in place before connection.
The compression fitting must be pushedfully home onto the inlet to ensure fullengagement.
Note: The inlet fitting is designed to enter acompression fitting only. DO NOT use push fitconnectors as full engagement cannot beguaranteed. DO NOT use excessive force whenmaking these connections.
IMPORTANT: Before completing theconnection of the water supply to the inlet of

E) Guide into position so that the controlspindle locates correctly (the ‘flats’ ensure thespindle and knob only fit one way). Should anydifficulty arise, recheck the points above.
While applying slight pressure to the frontcover, secure in position with the three retainingscrews.
Fit the flexible hose (but without the sprayhead)to the shower outlet ensuring the outlet of thehose is directed to waste. Ensure the suppliedsealing washer is in place.
Turn on the water supply to the shower at theisolating stopvalve. Switch on the electricitysupply to the shower at the isolating switch.
Water will commence to flowthrough the unit and
discharge from theflexible hose.
It will takeapproximatelythirty seconds fora smooth flow ofwater to beobtained whilstair and anydebris is beingdispersed from
the shower. When asmooth flow of water is
obtained, disconnect theelectricity supply to the
shower at the isolatingswitch. This will stop the
water flow. Unscrew the cover retaining screwsagain and lift the cover from the backplate.Attached to the control PCB, inside the cover, isa 14-way ribbon cable. The ribbon cableconnector must be plugged into the socketlocated on the power PCB situated inside theunit (as shown). The connector can only becorrectly plugged in one way by virtue of alocation lug on the plug. The ribbon cable alsohas a coloured edge which is on the right handside when correctly fitted to the socket.
REPLACING THE COVERIMPORTANT: Before finally fitting the cover,the following steps must be taken:
a) Check all plumbing connections are watertight.
b) Check terminal block screws are fullytightened.
c) Ensure pipe and cable entering the unit donot prevent the cover locating correctly tothe backplate.d) Ensure the valve spindle has the ‘flat’ andkeyway slot uppermost (12 o’clock position).
e) Ensure the temperature control knob onthe cover has ‘TRITON’ horizontal with theblue/red graphics at the top (the knob ‘flat’inside the cover should be uppermost).
Offer the cover to the unit. Carefully locate thecover tags into the guide pockets on thebackplate and ensure wires are not trapped.Guide into position so that the control spindlelocates correctly (the ‘flats’ ensure the spindleand knob will only fit one way). While applyingslight pressure to the front cover, secure inposition with the three retaining screws.
The flexible hose can be left attached to theshower outlet. Ensure the supplied sealingwasher is fitted.
Once the riser rail kit is installed, the shower isready for normal operation.

OPERATING THE SHOWER IMPORTANT: Ensure the commissioningprocedure has been carried out.
The shower controls areshown in the adjacent
illustration.
CAUTION: It isrecommended thatpersons who mayhave difficultyunderstanding oroperating theshower controlsshould not beleft unattendedwhile using theshower. Specialconsiderationshould be givento young
children and theless able bodied.
Ensure the watersupply is turned
fully on.
Switch the electricsupply back on at the
isolating switch.
Immediately, the start uproutine commences andthe display flashes allinformation for threeseconds.
The display then shows ‘OK’in a blue backlight It willremain in this standbymode until the shower is
started.
To start the shower
Press the start/stop button and water willflow.
The display shows ‘FUL’indicating full power isbeing used.
After approximately fiveseconds, two ‘up arrows’
start flashing indicating the
unit is working towards itspre-set showeringtemperature. This isachieved shortly whenthe display shows thetemperature as °C.
To stop the shower
Press the start/stop button and the phasedshutdown will commence. The current
temperature andsegments are replacedwith a flashing ‘SD’ and‘SHUTTING DOWN’alternating on the
display. Water ceases toflow after approximately five seconds afterwhich the display returns to ‘OK’.
The shower can be left in this standby modeready for the next immediate user, otherwise,switch off at the isolating switch thus resultingin no power to the unit and a blank display.
Control buttons
Apart from the start/stop button, there are twoother control buttons – power and cold.
The button marked is for cold water only.When pressed the current display is replaced
by‘CLD’. It remains in thisstate until the powerbutton is pressed.(Adjustment of thetemperature control at
this setting has no effect onthe force of the water from the sprayhead).
The button marked is the power buttonwhich is a toggle switch between full power andeconomy power.
Economy is for using less power when theambient mains water temperature is high duringhot months.
If the shower is on full power and the powerbutton is pressed, the
current display isreplaced by ‘ECO’ forfive seconds. Duringthis time, the flow rate
decreases to try to achievethe same temperature as before. Note however,

that if the setting was high at full power, then itwill not be possible to obtain the sametemperature on economy power. The showerwill endeavour to provide the highesttemperature at the best flow rate.
Note: If the stated flow rate required for theunit cannot be met due to low water pressure, itwill be necessary to operate the shower oneconomy power during hot months because offlow rate limitations entering the unit.
Full is the maximum power setting which allowsthe highest flow achievable for your preferredtemperature.
If the shower is on economy power or the coldsetting and the power
button is pressed,thecurrent display isreplaced by ‘FUL’ forfive seconds. During this
time, the flow rateincreases to achieve the same temperature asbefore or to correspond to the currenttemperature control position.
It is advisable to leave the power setting at fullat all times, except during periods of hotweather.
To adjust the shower temperature
The showering temperature is varied by turningthe temperature control which changes the mixof hot water coming from the heater can andthe incoming cold water. On the displaycircumference are eleven outer segments whichrepresent the total angular movement of thetemperature control. Rotating the temperaturecontrol causes inner segments to move, thusindicating the actual position of the controlrelative to its minimum and maximum limits.
Minimum temperatureposition (one innersegment full thatcorresponds to thecontrol position).
Maximum temperatureposition (all innersegments full thatcorresponds to thecontrol position).
To decrease the shower temperatureTurn the temperature control anti-clockwise; the
current temperaturedisplay is replaced bytwo flashing ‘downarrows’. Five seconds
later the display showsthe revised temperature.
To increase the shower temperature
Turn the temperature control clockwise; thecurrent temperature
display is replaced bytwo flashing ‘uparrows’. Five seconds
later the display showsthe revised temperature.
Note: It is advisable to be certain that theshowering temperature is satisfactory by testingwith your hand before stepping under thesprayhead.
There will always be a time delay of a fewseconds between selecting a temperature andthe water reaching the stable selectedtemperature.
OPERATING FUNCTIONS
Clean sprayhead
After a preset number of start/stop buttonoperations (nominally 75),
the start up routine acts asnormal but instead of ablue ‘OK’ the display
backlight turns red and aflashing ‘CS’ alternating with a flashing‘sprayhead symbol’ and ‘CLEAN’ appear.
This is a reminder to clean the sprayhead. Itdoes NOT indicate a defect to the shower.
To remove the red ‘CS’ from the display, pressthe power and cold buttons simultaneously forthree seconds. Alternatively you can choose notto remove the flashing indication and carry onby pressing the start/stop button and showeringas normal, but the ‘symbol’ and ‘CLEAN’ willcontinue to flash at the side of the °C figure fora further five shower operations after which timeit will cease (irrespective of whether you cleanthe sprayhead or not). The shower will thenreset automatically for a further preset number
Topaz T100si

of shower operations before flashing thereminder again.
Low pressure
When the display backlight turns red and ‘LP’and ’LOW PRESSURE’ flash alternately, it means thewater pressure has fallen below the minimumrequired for correct operation of the shower,resulting in the low pressure switch operating.
This switches off power tothe heating elementspreventing anymaintained
temperature rises (waterwill continue to flow).
When normal water pressure is restored, theshower automatically reverts to the settingsprior to the low pressure operating. The displayreturns to blue and the flashing ‘LP’ is replacedby flashing ‘up arrows’ for approximately fiveseconds to allow the temperature to stabilise.
Phased shutdown
In use, when the start/stop button is pressed,power is switched off to the elements and thepower indicator will extinguish. The display willchange to a flashing ‘SD’. Water continues toflow for a few seconds, flushing out anyremaining hot water. This ensures the nextimmediate user will not receive a slug of hotwater if standing under the sprayhead whenstarting the shower.
Safety cut-out
The shower is fitted with a thermal cut-outsafety device. In the event of abnormaloperation which could cause unsafetemperatures within the unit, the device willdisconnect the heating elements.
It will require a visit from a qualified engineer todetermine the nature of the fault and replacethe safety device, once the unit has beenrepaired.
CHANGING THE FASCIAThis shower unit has the facility for the colouredfascia to be simply changed for another colourof your choice. The coloured options areavailable as low cost accessories and are listed inthe ‘parts list’ section at the rear of this booklet.To change the fascia proceed as follows:
The top of the fascia has a recessed cutaway.With your finger, just press
down in the cutaway andpull away. To
replacethefascia,positionthelowerend into
the recess of thecover and pushfit the top intoposition.
Note: In normal use, it is in order to leave thewater supply permanently on to the showerunit, but as with most electrical appliances, theunit should be switched off at theisolating switch when not in use.
WARNING!
After any servicing of mains watersupply, always ensure the unit is
started on COLD in order to purge anyair in the pipework.

FITTING THE ANTLER RISER RAIL
Decide the position for the rail on the wallwithin the shower area and proceed as follows:
The sprayhead holder is supplied alreadyattached to the rail unit and the angle of theholder dictates the rail top and bottom. Thecorrect orientation of the rail is when the holderis sloping DOWN.
Offer the rail to the wall, and mark the twoelongated upper holes and the elongated lowertwo holes.
DO NOT use the square edgedholes (these are for engaging thelug when sliding the finishingtrims into position). Ensure the railis aligned vertically.
Drill and plug the wall.
(The wallplugs provided are suitablefor most brick walls – use anappropriate masonry drill, but if thewall is plasterboard or a soft building block, usespecial wallplugs and an appropriate drill bit).
Secure to the wall with thescrews supplied ensuring thesprayhead holder is slopingDOWN.
Slide the finishing trims ontothe riser rail bracket ends.
Ensure the trim lug slides behind the railbracket and engages correctlybetween the wall and bracket.
Adjusting the sprayhead holder
The holder is supplied alreadyattached to the rail unit. To adjust the
height, slightly lift the holderarm to unlock it (an audible‘click’ denotes it is unlocked).
Slide the holder arm up ordown on the ratchet
mechanism to suit user’srequirement.
To lock the holder arm inposition, push the arm downuntil it ‘clicks’.
Fitting the soap dish
Carefully squeeze the soap dish endsslightly in order to open up theengagement side of the dish.
Manoeuvre the dishonto the lower endof the rail while still
squeezing the dish endstogether.
It will snap into position when locatedcorrectly, following the same contours
as the rail bracket.
Hose and sprayhead
Feed the flexible hose through the appropriatesoap dish aperture so thedish acts as a retaining ring(Water Regulations).
Screw the flexible hoseto the shower outlet and
sprayhead ensuring thesupplied washers are in placeat both ends of the flexibleshower hose.
Place the sprayhead into the holder and checkthat it fits correctly.
Note: The holder isslightly tapered andthe sprayhead andhose will only fit fromone direction.
IMPORTANT: It is theconical end of the hosewhich grips into theholder. The sprayhead will not fit in theholder without the hose attached.
WARNING!Check there are no hidden cables orpipes before drilling holes for wallplugs. Use great care when usingpower tools near water. The use of aresidual current device (RCD) isrecommended.
