MataS Steam Generator Installation Instructions

It is important that the items underlined are followed precisely to ensure correct and safe operation of the steam unit.

Technical description

The steam unit comprises a plastic cylinder containing three heating elements, two probes, two relays, a transformer, a circuit board, and a water inlet solenoid valve.

One of the heating elements is switched through a 220v relay; the other two elements are switched through a 24v relay. The two heating elements controlled by the 24v relay provide the temperature control and operate only when the set temperature is greater than the shower enclosure temperature.

The function of the digital controller is to provide remote switching of the two relays. The controller contains a timer and receives information on the enclosure temperature from a thermocouple in the enclosure-mounted unit.

For testing purposes the Steam unit can be operated without the digital controller.

Shorting the blue and brown wires (marked Z-Z in the generator) supplies current to the main circuit board and will open the water inlet valve and close the 230v contactor when the cylinder is over half full of water. One of the three cylinder heating elements will now heat.

Shorting the red and white wires (marked X-X in the generator) when the blue and brown wires are already shorted will close the 24v contactor; the remaining two cylinder heating elements will now heat.

It is important not to short the yellow and black wires (marked V-V in the generator), which are the 12v a/c supply to the controller.

Steam Unit Connection Instructions

The steam unit can be wall or floor mounted. The unit dimensions are:

Depth:  260mm, width: 520 height: 680 for 6 and 9 Kw units

Depth:  260mm, width: 670 height: 680 for 12, 15 and 18Kw units

The dimensions above allow for left hand side access for electrical connections and right hand access for water inlet on the right and steam outlet(s) on top.

1.      Water supply; connect the plastic water inlet situated at the lower left side of the steam unit to a local isolating valve. The supply pipe can be a flexible pipe of the type used for washing machine connections.

Electrical Supply;

Single and three phase generators are identical apart from a bridge on the live terminals

The generator is supplied as single or three phase depending on your order. It is possible to convert a Single to three-phase unit by removing the bridge.

Mono  single phase

Tri  three phase

2.       Connect to a local isolator. It is important that the isolator switch is situated close to the steam unit so that the unit can be isolated for maintenance and testing. The supply to the isolator must be via an earth leakage fuse rated at 30ma. Single Phase units are fitted with a bridge. The 230 v single-phase supply should be wired to the fuse terminal just to the right of the neutral connector. The bridge supplies 230v to the two connectors to the left. If three-phase supply is available each of the three phases is wired to each of the three connectors.  A major short circuit will occur if the unit is wired as a three-phase unit without removing the bridge. The neutral wire is still required for three phase installations.

3.   Steam outlet; connect the steam outlet situated on the top of the  steam   unit to the steam.Head(s) in the steam enclosure. It is important that the steam piping minimum 22 - 25mm does not contain any traps or sharp bends that can permit steam to condense and trap water. The steam connection can rise from the steam outlet to the highest point, then the piping must drop continuously to the Steam Head and must not rise again.  The steam pipe must not descend to a lower level than the steam head. Units rated at 12Kw and above must be piped with two steam pipes

 Digital controller connections. Ensure that the electrical power to the steam unit is off. Incorrect wiring will cause damage to the controller.

Single enclosure mounted control. The wiring inside the controller is sealed. The wiring is completed at the generator.

Testing

1.      Open the local water-isolating valve.

2.      Switch on the local electrical isolator

3.      Press the on /off button.. The controller will illuminate.

4.      Press the SELECT button to illuminate the led next to "Set TEMP". Press the red or green arrows to select the desired temperature - 40 deg for example.

5.       Press the SELECT button to illuminate the led next to "Set TIME". Press the red or green arrows to select the desired time - 30 minutes for example

Note these selections are memeorized by the controller and unless these selections need to be modified simply press the ON/OFF button next time.

The following sequence of events should occur;

·         After approx. 5 seconds the water inlet valve will open and the cylinder will commence to fill. The red heating sign on the external controller will illuminate. The display will toggle between actual enclosure temperature, desired enclosure temperature and set time. The set time will commence counting down only when the enclosure temperature has reached the set temperature.

·         The two main contactors that operate the steam unit will close then approx. 5 seconds later will re-open. Note if the unit is already full of water the contactors will remain closed and heating will commence immediately.

·         After approx. 1 minute the water level in the cylinder will have risen to a level permitting the heating contactors to close again so that water heating commences

·         After approx. 10 minutes steam will start to appear in the steam enclosure.

·         The enclosure temperature will rise until a temperature of 40 deg. C is reached. The red heating light will go out.

·         Switch off the on/off button on the controller and if the steam unit is not going to be used for an extended period switch off the electrical power at the local isolator and turn off the water valve.
