Topaz T100siElectrical requirementsWARNING!This appliance must beearthedThe installation, supply cable and circuitprotection must conform with BS7671 (IEEwiring regulations) and be sufficient for theamperage required.The following notes are for guidance only:1 The shower must only be connected to a230-240V ac supply. If you are installing ashower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, itis advisable to contact the local electricitysupply company.Shepperton Park,Triton Road, Nuneaton,Warwickshire, CV11 4NRPull cordisolating switchFig.3Fig.4 schematic of installation circuit1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shownon the rating label (fig.3) within the unit.2 Before making any sort of electricalconnection within the installation makesure that no terminal is live. If in anydoubt, switch off the whole installation atthe consumer unit.3 The shower must be connected to its ownindependent electrical circuit. IT MUSTNOT be connected to a ring main, spur,socket outlet, lighting circuit or cookercircuit.3.1 The electrical supply must be adequatefor the loading of the unit and existingcircuits.4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)has a main switch rating of 80A or aboveand that it has a spare fuse way which willtake the fuse or miniature circuit breaker(mcb) necessary for the shower (fig.4).4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below80A or if there is no spare fuse way, thenthe installation will not be straightforwardand may require a new consumer unitserving the house or just the shower.4.2 You will need to contact the localelectricity company. They will check thesupply and carry out what is necessary.They will also check the main bonding.5 The earth continuity conductor of theelectrical installation must be effectivelyconnected electrically to all exposed metalTable ARCD(can be part ofconsumer unit)ShowerunitCircuit protectionunitcartridgerating mcb fuse7.0kW 30/32A 30AFuse orMCB80A or 100Amain switchConsumerunitMetertailsMeterIncomingsupplyfuse7.5kW 32A 35A8.0kW 40A 35A8.5kW 40A 45A9.0kW 40A 45A9.5kW 40/45A 45A10.5kW 45A 45A

Topaz T100siparts of other appliances and servicesin the room in which the shower is tobe installed, to conform to current IEEregulations.5.1 All exposed metallic parts in the bathroommust be bonded together using a cable ofat least 4mm² cross sectional area. Theseparts include metal baths, radiators, waterpipes, taps and waste fittings.6 For close circuit protection do not use arewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably ratedMCB or cartridge fuse (see table A).6.1 In the interest of electrical safety a 30mAresidual current device (RCD) should beinstalled in all UK electric and pumpedshower circuits. This may be part of theconsumer unit or a separate unit.7 A 45 amp double pole isolating switchwith a minimum contact gap of 3mm inboth poles must be incorporated in thecircuit.7.1 It must have a mechanical indicatorshowing when the switch is in theOFF position, and the wiring must beconnected to the switch without the use ofa plug or socket outlet.7.2 The switch must be accessible and clearlyidentifiable, but out of reach of a personusing a fixed bath or shower, except forthe cord of a cord operated switch, andTable BTwin and earth PVC insulated cablecurrent carrying capacityinstalled in an in conduitinsulated wall or trunkingclipped direct orburied in a noninsulated wall6mm² 6mm ² 6mm²32A 38A 46A10mm² 10mm² 10mm²43A 52A 63A16mm² 16mm² 16mm²57A 69A 85Ashould be placed so that it is not possibleto touch the switch body while standingin a bath or shower cubicle. It should bereadily accessible to switch off after usingthe shower.8 Where shower cubicles are located in anyrooms other than bathrooms, all socketoutlets in those rooms must be protectedby a 30mA RCD.9 The current carrying capacity of the cablemust be at least that of the shower circuitprotection (see table B).9.1 To obtain full advantage of the powerprovided by the shower, use the shortestcable route possible from the consumerunit to the shower.9.2 It is also necessary to satisfy thedisconnection time and thermalconstraints which means that for any givencombination of current demand, voltagedrop and cable size, there is a maximumpermissible circuit length.10 The shower circuit should be separatedfrom other circuits by at least twice thediameter of the cable or conduit.10.1 The current rating will be reduced if thecabling is bunched with others, surroundedby thermal loft or wall insulation or placedin areas where the ambient temperatureis above 30°C. Under these conditions,derating factors apply and it is necessary toselect a larger cable size.10.2 In the majority of installations, thecable will unavoidably be placed in oneor more of the above conditions. Thisbeing so, it is strongly recommendedto use a minimum of 10mm cablingthroughout the shower installation.10.3 In any event, it is essential that individualsite conditions are assessed by a competentelectrician in order to determine thecorrect cable size and permissible circuitlength.Note: Cable selection is dependenton derating factors

Topaz T100siSITING OF THE SHOWERWARNING!The shower must not be positionedwhere it will be subjected to freezingconditions.Riser rail canbe mounted eitherside of showerImportant: If installing onto a tiled wallalways mount the unit on the surface of thetiles. Never tile up to the unit.Refer to fig.6 for correct siting of the shower.Position the unit where it will not be in directcontact with water from the showerhead.Position the shower unit vertically.Allow enough room between the ceiling and theshower to access the cover top screws.Note: Water regulations require the showerheadbe ‘constrained by a fixed or sliding attachmentso that it can only discharge water at a pointnot less than 25mm above the spill-over levelof the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixedappliance’. The use of the supplied soap dishwill in most cases meet this requirement, but ifthe showerhead 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.IMPORTANT: Using a suitable sealant, alwaysseal around the incoming pipework toprevent water entering the wall.Liquid Crystal DisplayThis 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.SpilloverlevelSoap dishretainingring25mm minimumOutline of bathor shower trayMains cold watersupply - bottom,top and backFig.6 Diagrammatic view (not to scale)Height ofsprayheadandshowerto suituser'srequirementShower unitmust notbe withinan area1 metrefrom baseImportant: The unit must be mountedon a flat surface which covers the fullwidth and length of the backplate,otherwise difficulty may arise when fittingthe cover and subsequent operation ofthe unit may be impaired.Pressure relief safety deviceA 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 showerhead

Topaz T100siFig.7which can cause the PRD to operate.Make sure the PRD outlet at the bottom of theunit is not blocked (fig.7).Area to keep clearWarning!If using a silicon seal around thebackplate edge, make sure the PRDexit behind the outlet pipe is keptclear.Fig.8When commissioning, the showerhead must beremoved from the flexible hose. Failure to followthis procedure may cause the PRD to operate.Make sure the shower is positioned over a bathor shower 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.Fig.9

Topaz T100siFITTING THE SHOWER TO THE WALLNote: The control knob is an integral part ofthe cover — do not attempt to remove it.Unscrew the two top and one bottom retainingscrews. There is no need to completely removethe screws, just enough to lift the cover fromthe backplate. To allow access to the pipe andcable connections remove the trimplate bylifting away 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 (fig.8).If bottom or rear entry is chosen, the pipe trimwill need to be fitted in the top entry positionon the backplate (fig.9).If installing a supply pipe from the rear orbottom, the centre of the inlet valve to the wallsurface is 21mm (fig.10).Note: If entry is from the rear, the nut of thecompression fitting will be partially behind thesurface of the wall. This area must be left clearwhen plastering over the pipework in order tomake the nut accessible for future adjustments.After choosing the site for the shower, use thebackplate as a template and mark the three wallfixing holes (fig.11). Drill and plug to suit thefixing screws supplied. (The wall plugs provided aresuitable for most brick walls — use an appropriatemasonry drill, but if the wall is plasterboard or a softbuilding block, you must use suitable wall plugs andan appropriate drill bit).Screw the top left-hand fixing screw intoposition leaving the base of the screw headprotruding 6mm 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,as the fixing holes are elongated to allow forout of square adjustment after the plumbingconnections have been completed.21mmFig.10Fig.11

Topaz T100siFig.12warning!InletfilterThe outlet of the shower acts as avent and must not be connected toanything other than the hose andshowerhead supplied.PLUMBING CONNECTIONSPlumbing to be carried out before wiringDo not use jointing compounds on any pipefittings for the installation.Do not solder fittings near the shower unitas heat can transfer along the pipework anddamage components.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.Important: Before completing theconnection of the water supply to the inletof the shower, and in compliance with WaterRegulations, flush out the pipework to removeall swarf and system debris. This can beachieved by connecting a hose to the pipeworkand turning on the mains water supply longenough to clear the debris to waste.ProcedureTurn off the water supply either at the mainsstopvalve or the isolating stopvalve. Connectthe mains water supply to the inlet (fig.12)of the shower via 15mm copper, stainless steelor plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm elbowcompression fitting. The plastic filter protrudesfrom the inlet so check it is in place beforeconnection.The compression fitting must be pushedfully home onto the inlet to make sure of fullengagement.Note: The inlet fitting is designed to enter acompression fitting only. Do not use pushfit connectors as full engagement cannot beguaranteed. Do not use excessive force whenmaking these connections.Make sure the backplate is square on the walland tighten the three retaining screws whichhold it to the wall. Check the backplate is notdistorted when screws are fully tightened.Turn on the mains water supply and check forleaks in the pipework connection to the shower.10

Topaz T100siNote: At this stage no water can flow throughthe unit.Fig.13ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONSSwitch off the electricity supply atthe mains.Fig.13 shows a schematic wiring diagram.The cable entry points are top, bottom or back.The cable can be surface clipped, hidden or via20mm conduit.Note: Conduit entry can only be from rear.Route the cable into the shower unit andconnect to the terminal block as follows:LNETerminalblockStart/stopswitchEarthpostControlPCBThermalcut-outPressureswitch ThermistorPowerPCBConnectorsocketEarth cable to terminal marked ENeutral cable to terminal marked NLive cable to terminal marked LImportant: Fully tighten the terminal blockscrews and check that no cable insulation istrapped under the screws. Loose connectionscan result in cable overheating.Note: The supply cable earth conductor mustbe sleeved. The outer sheath of the supply cablemust be stripped back to the minimum.The supply cable must be secured either byrouting through conduit or in trunking or byembedding in the wall, in accordance withcurrent IEE regulations.The use of connections within the unit to supplypower to other equipment i.e. extractor fans,pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee.DO NOT switch on the electricitysupply until the cover has been fitted.Note: The elements on UK models are to 240Vspecifications and will give a lower kW rating ifthe voltage supply is below 240V.outletElementsinletSolenoidvalve11

Topaz T100siFig.14Fig.15ValvespindleWARNING!Before normal operation of theshower, it is essential the followingcommissioning procedure iscompleted correctly.CommissioningThe first operation of the shower is intended toflush out any remaining system debris and tomake sure water is purged through the unit sothat the heater unit contains water before theelements are switched on.Refit the trimplate by carefully guiding into thelocating slots in the backplate.At this stage, the cover is temporarily fitted inorder to carry out the commissioning procedure.a) Offer the cover to the unit. Do not connectthe 14-way ribbon cable at this stage.b) Make sure the valve spindle has the ‘flat’ andkeyway slot uppermost (12 o’clock position).See fig.14.c) Make sure the temperature control knobon the cover has ‘TRITON’ horizontal withthe blue/red graphics at the top - the knob‘flat’ inside the cover should be uppermost(fig.15).d) Carefully locate the cover tags into the guidepockets on the backplate and check the wiresare not trapped.e) Guide into position so that the control spindlelocates correctly (the ‘flats’ only allow thespindle and knob only fit one way).Should any difficulty arise, recheck the pointsabove.While applying slight pressure to the frontcover, secure in position with the three retainingscrews.Fit the flexible hose (but without theshowerhead) to the shower outlet, with theoutlet of the hose directed to waste. Check thesupplied sealing 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 start to flow through the unit anddischarge from the flexible hose.It will take about thirty seconds for a smoothflow of water to be obtained while air and anydebris is being flushed from the shower. Whena smooth flow of water is obtained, disconnectthe electricity supply to the shower at theisolating switch. This will stop the water flow.12

Topaz T100siUnscrew the cover retaining screws again andlift the cover from the backplate.Attached to the control PCB, inside the cover,is a 14-way ribbon cable. The ribbon cableconnector must be plugged into the socketlocated on the power PCB inside the unit(fig.16). The connector can only be correctlyplugged in one way by virtue of a locationlug on the plug. The ribbon cable also has acoloured edge which is on the right-hand sidewhen correctly fitted to the socket.Fig.16REPLACING 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) Make sure the pipe and cable entering theunit do not prevent the cover locatingcorrectly to the backplate.d) Make sure the valve spindle has the ‘flat’and keyway slot uppermost (12 o’clockposition).e) Make sure the temperature control knobon the cover has ‘TRITON’ horizontalwith the blue/red graphics at the top(the knob ‘flat’ inside the cover should beuppermost).Offer the cover to the unit. Carefully locatethe cover tags into the guide pockets on thebackplate and check the wires are not trapped.Guide into position so that the control spindlelocates correctly (the ‘flats’ only allow thespindle and knob will only fit one way). Whileapplying slight pressure to the front cover,secure in position with the three retainingscrews.The flexible hose can be left attached to theshower outlet. Make sure the supplied sealingwasher is fitted.Once the riser rail kit is installed, the shower isready for normal operation.13

Topaz T100siFig.17Power buttonCold buttonOPERATING THE SHOWERWARNING!Before normal operation of theshower, it is essential that thecommissioning procedure has beencompleted correctly.Fig.18Fig.19Fig.20DisplayTemperaturecontrolStart/StopbuttonThe shower controls are shown in fig.17.Caution: It is recommended that personswho may have difficulty understanding oroperating the shower controls should notbe left unattended while using the shower.Special consideration should be given toyoung children and the less able bodied.Make sure the water supply is turned fully on.Switch the electric supply back on at theisolating switch.Immediately, the start up routine commencesand the display flashes all information for threeseconds (fig.18).The display then shows ‘OK’ in a blue backlight(fig.19). It will remain in this standby modeuntil the shower is started.To start the showerPress the Start/Stop buttonflow.and water willThe display shows ‘FUL’ (fig.20) indicating fullpower is being used.After a few seconds, two ‘up arrows’ startflashing indicating the unit is working towardsits preset showering temperature (fig.21). Thisis achieved shortly when the display shows thetemperature as °C.To stop the showerPress the Start/Stop button and the phasedshutdown will begin. The current temperatureand segments are replaced with a flashing ‘SD’and ‘Shutting Down’ alternating on thedisplay (fig.22). Water stops flowing after a fewseconds after which 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.14

Topaz T100siControl buttonsApart from the Start/Stop button, there aretwo other control buttons — power and cold.The button marked is for cold water only.When pressed the current display is replacedby ‘CLD’ (fig.23). It remains in this state untilthe power button is pressed. Adjusting thetemperature control at this setting has no effecton the force of the water from the showerhead.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 is replacedby ‘ECO’ for five seconds (fig.24). During thistime, the flow rate decreases to try to achievethe same temperature as before.Note: If the setting was high at full power,then it will not be possible to obtain the sametemperature on economy power. The showerwill try to provide the highest temperature atthe best flow rate.Note: If the stated flow rate required for theunit cannot be met due to low water pressure,it will 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 is replaced by ‘FUL’ for fiveseconds (fig.25). During this time, the flowrate increases to achieve the same temperatureas before or to correspond to the currenttemperature control position.It is advisable to leave the power setting atfull at all times, except during periods of hotweather.Fig.21Fig.22Fig.23Fig.24Fig.2515

Topaz T100siFig.26Fig.27Fig.28Fig.29To adjust the shower temperatureThe showering temperature is varied by turningthe temperature control which changes themix of hot water coming from the heater canand the 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 fill, indicatingthe actual position of the control relative to itsminimum and maximum limits.Minimum temperature (fig.26) position (oneinner segment full that corresponds to thecontrol position).Maximum temperature (fig.27) position (allinner segments full that corresponds to thecontrol position).To decrease the shower temperatureTurn the temperature control anti-clockwise; thecurrent temperature display is replaced by twoflashing ‘down arrows‘ (fig.28). Five secondslater the display shows the revised temperature.To increase the shower temperatureTurn the temperature control clockwise; thecurrent temperature display is replaced by twoflashing ‘up arrows‘ (fig.29). A few secondslater the display shows the revised temperature.Note: It is advisable to be certain that theshowering temperature is satisfactory by testingwith your hand before stepping under theshowerhead.There will always be a time delay of a fewseconds between selecting a temperatureand the water reaching the stable selectedtemperature.16

Topaz T100siOPERATING FUNCTIONSClean showerheadAfter a preset number of Start/Stop buttonoperations (nominally 75), the start up routineacts as normal but instead of a blue ‘OK’ thedisplay backlight turns red and a flashing ‘CS’alternating with a flashing ‘showerhead symbol’and ‘CLEAN’ appear (fig.30).This is a reminder to clean the showerhead. 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 choosenot to remove the flashing indication and carryon by pressing the Start/Stop button andshowering as normal, but the ‘symbol’ and‘CLEAN’ will continue to flash at the side of the°C figure for a further five shower operationsafter which time it will stop (whether you cleanthe showerhead or not). The shower will thenreset automatically for a further preset numberof shower operations before flashing thereminder again.Fig.30Fig.31Low pressureWhen the display backlight turns red and‘LP’ and ’low pressure’ flash alternately, itmeans the water pressure has fallen below theminimum required for correct operation of theshower (fig.31). This causes the low pressureswitch to operate and this turns off power tothe heating elements preventing any maintainedtemperature rises. Water will no longer flow untilthe unit has been reset.Press the Start/Stop button once to reset theshower. The shower will shut down and thenbegin its start up routine.If there is still not enough pressure for correctoperation the ‘low pressure’ display will flashonce more and the shower will require resettingagain.If there is enough pressure the display willchange to show ‘ok’ in a blue backlight and theshower will run as normal.17

Topaz T100siFig.32WARNING!After any servicing of mains watersupply, always make sure the unit isstarted on COLD in order to purge anyair in the pipework.Phased shutdownIn use, when the Start/Stop button is pressed,power is switched off to the elements and thepower indicator will extinguish. The displaywill change to a flashing ‘SD’. Water continuesto flow for a few seconds, flushing out anyremaining hot water. This makes sure the nextimmediate user will not receive a slug of hotwater if standing under the showerhead whenstarting the shower.Safety cut-outThe shower is fitted with a thermal cutoutsafety 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 engineerto determine 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.The top of the fascia has a recessed cutaway.With your finger, just press down in the cutawayand pull away (fig.32). To replace the fascia,position the lower end into the recess of thecover and push fit the top into position.Note: In normal use, it is in order to leave thewater supply permanently on to the showerunit, but as with most electrical appliances,the unit must be switched off at theisolating switch when not in use.18

Topaz T100siFITTING THE ANTLER RISER RAILWarning!Check there are no hidden cables orpipes before drilling holes for wallplugs. Use great care when usingpower tools near water. The use ofa residual current device (RCD) isrecommended.Decide the position for the rail on the wallwithin the shower area and proceed as follows:The showerhead 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 edged holes (fig.33).These are for fitting the lug when sliding thefinishing trims into position.Make sure the rail is aligned vertically then drilland plug the wall.

Topaz T100siFig.51SprayplatekeyCLEANING THE SHOWERHEADWARNINGDo not use ‘powerful’ abrasive orsolvent cleaning fluids when cleaningthe shower as they may damage theplastic fittings.Fig.52SprayplateBefore cleaning, turn off the unit at theisolation switch to avoid the shower beingaccidentally switched on.It is important to keep the showerheadclean to maintain the performanceof the shower. The hardness of the waterwill determine the frequency of cleaning. Forexample, if the shower is used every day in avery hard water area, it may be necessary toclean the showerhead on a weekly basis.Sprayplate removalThere is no need to remove the showerheadfrom the hose.Using the removal tool supplied (fig.51),locate the raised bosses into the recesses inthe sprayplate. Hold in firmly and twist anticlockwise(fig.52). This movement may turn thecartridge assembly as well until it reaches a ‘stop’.Hold the cartridge firmly and continue to twistanti-clockwise. Having loosened the sprayplate,it can be unscrewed and removed completely.Clean the sprayplate with a suitable brush orpreferably leave it to soak overnight in a mildproprietary descalent. Make sure all traces ofscale are removed and thoroughly rinse in cleanwater afterwards.Before replacing the sprayplate, switch thepower back on at the isolating switch and directthe hose and showerhead to waste.Press the Start/Stop button and then pressthe Cold button. This operation will flushout any loose scale deposits in the unit andshowerhead. Stop after about thirty seconds.Refit the sprayplate by screwing clockwise.
