Encon is a manufacturing company that manufactures emergency safety equipment like wall-mounted fire extinguishers and emergency shower and eye wash stations. The Therma-Flow is an emergency shower and eye wash station. Both Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the American National Standards Institute require work places with potentially hazardous chemicals to post emergency shower and eye wash stations within a specific set distance of dangerous chemicals. Federal law mandates these showers have their own drainage system and emergency backup electrical power.
Instructions
1. Shut off power to the emergency breaker where the Therma-Flow's electrical system will be connected.
2. Physically position the Therma-Flow so that the power panel on the unit is facing the wall, where it will be connected to the emergency backup .
3. Open the power panel of the safety shower with a Phillips screwdriver, remove the electrical wiring and feed it through the safety grommet on the panel. Close the panel and fasten it shut with a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Remove the switch plate on the wall where the electrical supply of the shower will be connected. Remove the plate with the Phillips screwdriver.
5. Connect the white wire from the shower to the white wire at the wall circuit. Twist the wires together with pliers and then place a plastic end cap over them. Connect the red wire from the unit to the wall and the black wire from the shower to the wall in the same way.
6. Close the switch plate and replace the retaining screw. Test the shower to make sure the electrical system is functional. Do not turn the water supply on, though, unless the drainage system has been completely installed.
