IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: When using this unit, basic precautions should
always be followed:
DANGER: Risk of electrocution. Disconnect the electricity
to the working area at the main breaker panel before
performing these installation steps.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. If you become
uncomfortable while taking a steam bath, you should turn off
the unit. Cool off with the shower, open the door, or exit the
unit.
WARNING: Risk of allergic reaction. Before adding any
oils, aromatic therapies, or skin care products to the
aromatherapy well, make sure they will not cause an allergic
reaction to the user.

undue stress on the body, as does any hot bath, shower, or
sauna.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. DO NOT consume
alcoholic beverages or take medications/drugs prior to or
when using the steam bath. Alcohol and drugs affect mental
judgement, greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia, and
inhibit bodily functions such as heartbeat and respiration,
resulting in potentially dangerous effects.

Before You Begin
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. A user interface must
be located within the steam enclosure to allow temperature
regulation and control of the steam flow.
NOTICE: Do not locate the user interface on the same wall as the
steam head(s).
NOTICE: The temperature sensor must be located on the wall
opposite the steam head(s).
If possible install the steam generator(s) and K-99695 system
controller before beginning this installation.
Locate the steam head 6″(152 mm) above the floor and 4-1/2″
(114 mm) from the inside of the threshold.
If two steam heads are used, there must be at least 12-1/2″(318
mm) between the center of each hole. The steam heads do not
need to be located in the same area.
Locate the steam head(s) as far away as possible from any shower
seating area.
Locate the temperature sensor on the wall 5″(127 mm) down
from the ceiling.
Make sure there is adequate clearance between the steam lines
and any surrounding surfaces, or apply appropriate insulation to
the steam lines.

1. DTV+ System Layout
The K-99695 system controller powers the interface(s) and controls the
steam generator and other system components.
Determine the locations of all required components.
A 25’ (7.6 m) data cable is provided to connect the steam adapter
to the controller. If the steam generator is not within 25’ (7.6 m) of
the controller, add a telephone-style extension cable.
Before Operating the System For the First Time:
Download and install the latest software for connected components.
This may take an hour or more to complete based on system
configuration and internet connection speed. Do not disconnect the
power from any component during software download and
installation.

2. Prepare the Site
NOTE: This section continues the installation described in the
steam generator installation instructions. Refer to the steam
generator installation instructions for more information, if needed.
NOTE: If two steam heads are used, there must be at least 12-1/2″
(318 mm) between the center of each hole. The steam heads do not
need to be located on the same wall. Two steam heads can be
mounted on different walls to improve steam distribution.
Install the finished wall.
Drill or cut a 2-1/2″(64 mm) hole centered around the elbow in
the wall.
Mark the temporary pipe nipple at the finished wall surface.
Remove the temporary pipe nipple from the elbow.

3. Install the Steam Head(s)
NOTICE: Do not obstruct the steam head with shut-off valves,
plugs, or caps.
Subtract 1-1/4″(32 mm) from the marked length on the
temporary nipple to determine the appropriate nipple size.
Choose a nipple length within 1/8″(3 mm) of the appropriate
size.
Apply thread sealant to one end of the nipple and thread into the
housing until hand-tight.
Apply thread sealant to the other end of the nipple.
Position the gasket onto the housing so it will sit between the
finished wall and the housing flange.
Usea1″socket to thread the housing into the elbow.
Make sure the gasket is compressed to achieve a good seal
around the housing.
If needed, use an appropriate sealant to achieve a watertight seal.
Press the steam head into the housing with the well positioned at
the top.

4. Install the Temperature Sensor
IMPORTANT! Do not locate the temperature sensor directly above
the steam head. Locate the temperature sensor on the wall opposite
the steam head.
IMPORTANT! Make a drip loop in the temperature sensor wire to
prevent moisture from following the wire to the steam generator.
Make sure the power is turned off at the main breaker panel
before proceeding.
Locate the temperature sensor on the wall 5″(127 mm) down
from the ceiling, on the wall opposite the steam head.
Drill a 3/8″(K-1737-K1, K-1838-K1) or 7/16″(K-5548-K1,
K-5549-K1) hole at the selected location.
IMPORTANT! Do not pinch, nail, wedge, or use undue force when
handling the sensor wire. Any damage may result in temperature
sensor failure.
Insert the temperature sensor wire through the drilled hole.
Route the wire behind the wall to the steam generator location.
Apply a small bead of silicone sealant to the back of the sensor
housing. Do not let any sealant contact the sensor probe.
Press the sensor firmly onto the wall.
Temporarily secure the sensor in place with tape.
Allow the silicone sealant to cure before use.

adapter failure. If the adapter is not installed immediately, protect
the cable ends with tape or other shielding material.
Connect the 10″(254 mm) silver or 16″(406 mm) white crossover
cable to the steam adapter and the steam generator.
Connect the temperature sensor wire to the corresponding port
on the steam adapter.
Connect the data cable to the steam adapter and route the cable
to the controller installation location.
Install the terminator into the ″Optional″port on the steam
adapter.
