Safety Notes • • • • • • • • • is a safety warning symbol and it should be observed strictly. Failure to do so may cause bodily injury and financial loss. The power supply must be installed according to the local standard and with GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter.) Test the GFCI before using to confirm its security and validity. The grounding for electrical appliance should be connected to a permanent ground.
Critical updates These are important updates for optimum performance of the Encore generator When connecting the keypad to the power box and the generator for the first time, it is critical that the keypad and the generator are set to the same temperature scale setting I.E. Celsius or Fahrenheit. To do so make sure everything is connected and powered up. The generator does not have to be on and running. Rotate the dial until the last icon on the right is highlighted.
Choose your size of machine Measure the length, width, and height in feet of the current steam shower or bathtub room. Example; L:7 x W:5 x H:8 = 280 Cubic feet x 2 to get complete cubic measurement Note: Multiplying the cubic feet by two is done to account for heat loss due to the room having natural stone such as granite or marble, exterior walls, ceiling height exceeding 8 feet, ceramic tile, or glass walls. Refer to the Parameter section to know if you have the correct size needed for your space.

Wiring Introduction The system consists of power box (GH21-PB), control keypad (GH21EE), steam generator (GS08-HW) and Bluetooth module GH21-BT (optional). Power box (GH21-PB) provides 14v DC and there are 6 power output with DC5521 connectors. The input voltage is 110V-265V and output is 50W. Control module (GH21EE) has two connectors: 14V input voltage with DC5521 connectors and temp sensor input with 2core SIM2.54 connector.

Recommended locations for proper installation: The steam box should not be located further than 15 feet away from the steam room. The steam generator should not be installed inside the steam room. The steam generator should not be installed outdoors or in any place that will influence the security of the machine. Do not install it in any places where the water might freeze.
Keypad Introduction 8 pg
Keypad Manual Dial There are two functions for the dial: Rotate it to select the manual and music. Adjust the volume, time and temperature. Confirm and exit Icon Power on/off Steam on/off Bluetooth Select music – Press the dial to select this function (the light will flash), rotate the dial to adjust the volume. Press the dial again to exit this function. Light Steam temperature adjustment – Press the dial to select this function (the light will flash), rotate the dial to adjust the temperature.
“--” will flash on the display when time is selected. Press the dial to see the preset time. Time icon will flash. Rotate the dial to adjust the time and press the dial again to exit. The display will show current temperature again. “DAN” will flash on the display when settings is selected. Press the dial and the steam generator will drain waste water. (It only works when the steam is off) Keep pressing the dial for at least 3 seconds to make conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Dual Keypad Setup When installing one inside and one outside of the shower: since both keypads have built in temperature sensors, they need to be reset. 1. Rotate the dial so the Temperature Icon is highlighted on the keypad, the current temperature will be displayed. 2. Press and hold the dial in, the steam room temperature will be displayed and the thermometer in the display will start to blink. 3.
Common Installation Problems Is the unit connected to 220V? The unit has no neutral wire, just L1, L2 and ground. To properly test for the 220V, you must test the L1 and L2 wires together and you should get 220V. If you test individually, you will get a false reading. Power box issues? Make sure the wiring that connects the power box to the keypad and steam generator is not damaged. Suggested Steam Room Layout Installation A B 10 7/16in (264.5mm) 19 11/16in (500mm) 1.
2. Connect the steam generator according to the drawing. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. Water inlet: 1/2in thread connector. Drain: 1/2in thread connector. Must be copper for at least first 3ft from the generator. Steam outlet: 3/4in thread connector Steam line: Must use copper. Insulate the line with high temp 212 plus temp rating insulation. Install a brass union on the steam line for easy disassembly. Install a brass union on water inlet for easy disassembly.
3. Keypad and steam outlet are installed according to the drawing below. Steam generator must be installed out of the steam enclosure. The keypad can be installed according to the situation on site. Drill ɸ20 hole for wire. Tear the sticker off keypad and stick it on the wall. ▪ When using the internal temperature sensor of the keypad: • The keypad should be placed shoulder high when occupant will be sitting. The sensor must be as far away from the steam outlet as possible.

Maintenance The unit will drain automatically 20 minutes after use. Clean the steam generator every 60 uses, and 30 if on well water. 1. Wait for the completion of automatic water discharge after each use of the steam engine to make sure the water in the tank is discharged completely before cutting off power supply. 2. There should not be any leaking or damage to the steam engine, steam nozzle, components and pipes. They should be checked monthly. 3.
Trouble Shooting Guide You will need a voltage meter for the following procedures. The Superior Encore uses two separate power supplies. The 110V power box which powers the keypad and the steam generator controls and a 220-240-volt power supply that is connected directly to the steam generator itself which powers the heating elements and other components of the generator. On a new installation or after use, always make sure the keypad is light up.
you should hear the water going into the tank and at the same time the voltage should read 11.88 volts or so (see picture 5.) As the water inlet valve opens and closed you will see the voltage change from 0 to 11.88. This is normal. There should be no voltage going to the valve when the unit is full of water, this is also normal. The only time voltage is going to the water inlet valve is when water is being called for, otherwise it will be 0 and no water should be flowing.
