7 min read

1 Room Preparation

Before proceeding with the Turkish bath installation, it is necessary to adequately prepare the environment that will house the cabin and the steam generator.

1.1 Cabin Space Requirements

RequirementSpecification
Minimum surrounding space10 cm per side for assembly
Ceiling heightMinimum 220-230 cm
FloorFlat, level, waterproof
Level tolerance±2 mm/meter

WARNING: The generator must be installed in a utility room or service area, never inside the Turkish bath cabin or exposed outdoors.

1.3 Room Ventilation

For optimal operation, it is necessary to ensure:

  • Natural or mechanical ventilation in the cabin room
  • Humid air extraction after use
  • Air exchange in the generator room
  • Avoid condensation stagnation

1.4 Prohibited Environments for Generator Installation

DANGER: Do not install the generator in humid, wet, frozen environments, or where there are corrosive, flammable elements and fuels in general.

2 Electrical Requirements

WARNING: Electrical connection must be performed exclusively by a qualified electrician according to current regulations

2.2 Mandatory Requirements

  • Copper cables with R2 class insulation (temperatures up to 80°C)
  • Dedicated line with differential circuit breaker (safety switch)
  • Efficient and certified grounding
  • Compliance with regulations
  • Do not use the generator as a power line distribution point

NOTE: All panels must be closed during operation. Always turn off power before maintenance or repairs.

3 Generator Electrical Connection

DANGER: Electrical installation must be performed by experienced and qualified personnel. The power supply must be turned off before installation, maintenance and repairs.

3.1 Single-phase Connections

For BL-LT30, BL-LT45, BL-LT60 single-phase models:

  • L → Phase (brown or black wire)
  • N → Neutral (blue wire)
  • Ground → Grounding (yellow-green wire)
  • J2 → Connector to control panel
  • J3 → Power supply connector

3.2 Three-phase Connections

For BL-LT45, BL-LT60, BL-LT90, BL-LT105 three-phase models:

  • L1 → Phase R (brown wire)
  • L2 → Phase S (black wire)
  • L3 → Phase T (gray wire)
  • N → Neutral (blue wire)
  • Ground → Grounding (yellow-green wire)
  • J2 → Connector to control panel
  • J3 → Power supply connector

3.3 Connection Procedure

  1. Install a cable gland of appropriate size for the cable
  2. Connect 3-wire cable (phase, neutral, ground) for single-phase systems
  3. Connect 5-wire cable (R, S, T, neutral, ground) for three-phase systems
  4. Connect to the indicated terminals following the diagram
  5. Firmly tighten all terminals
  6. Verify no contact between wires
  7. Close the connection panel

WARNING: Use only original spare parts. Any modification to the wiring voids warranty and safety certifications.

4 Hydraulic Connections

4.1 Piping Requirements

Connection TypeMaterialDiameterNotes
Cold water inletCopper or certified flexible hose1/2 inch minimumMax pressure 0.2 MPa (2 kg/cm²)
Steam pipeCopper only1/2 inch minimumTemperatures up to 150°C
Drain pipeCopper1/2 inch minimumSeparate from cabin drain

WARNING: Standard plastic pipes are prohibited. Only copper or materials certified for temperatures up to 150°C.

4.2 Water Inlet Connection

  1. Connect 1/2" flexible hose to the generator inlet valve
  2. Connect the other end to the cold water supply network
  3. Install shut-off valve upstream (for emergencies)
  4. If pressure exceeds 2 bar, install pressure reducer
  5. Slowly open the valve and check for leaks
  6. Clean connections before installation to remove debris

NOTE: Always use cold water. The generator has an integrated heating system.

WARNING: If the generator is installed in a hard-to-reach location, the water filling valve must be moved to an accessible point for emergencies.

4.3 Steam Outlet Connection

  1. Connect 1/2" copper pipe to the generator steam outlet
  2. Lay the pipe towards the cabin with a 3-4° downward slope
  3. Maximum length 3 meters (beyond 3 meters: thermal insulation mandatory)
  4. Minimize bends and elbows
  5. Position steam diffuser in cabin at 300 mm from floor
  6. Minimum distance 150 mm from seats

WARNING: Never install shut-off valves on the steam pipe. They would cause condensate accumulation and malfunctions.

4.4 Drain Connection

  1. Connect 1/2" copper pipe to the generator drain valve
  2. Convey the drain to the sewer network
  3. Keep drain separate from cabin drain (very hot water, burn risk)
  4. Provide anti-odor trap
  5. Minimum 2% slope towards drain

WARNING: The drain pipes must be conveyed to the drain separately from the Turkish bath cabin drain, to prevent possible burns due to high temperatures.

4.5 Connection Sealing

All hydraulic connections must be sealed to prevent steam leaks and protect the generator and users.

5 Control Panel Installation

5.1 Panel Positioning

  • Always install outside the Turkish bath cabin
  • Recommended height: 140-160 cm from floor
  • Comfortable and accessible position for the user
  • Avoid direct exposure to water jets
  • Recess dimensions: 126x74 mm

5.2 Panel Connection

  1. Run the cable from the generator to the panel installation point
  2. Use the generator J2 connector
  3. Connect to the back of the LCD control panel
  4. Fix the panel in place with the supplied screws
  5. Verify that the display turns on correctly

NOTE: If the display shows "EE", the panel is not connected correctly. Check cable connection.

5.3 Panel Features

The LCD digital control panel displays temperature in a range between 6°C and 60°C. During Turkish bath heating, the symbol "SS" is shown.

6.5 Important Recommendations for the Customer

WARNING: Never interrupt the automatic drainage cycle. It is essential for generator durability.

NOTE: With hard water, it is recommended to install a water softener upstream of the generator to prevent lime scale buildup on heating elements.
