Thank you for purchasing a quality Redring Active 320S Electric Shower manufactured in England.

To enjoy your new shower at its best, please take time to read this manual thoroughly, and having

done so, keep it handyfor future reference.

The Redring Active 320S is an electric shower incorporating our “Smart Technology” and a unique

dual control combining on/off, power select and flow/temperature control.

Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature

changes caused by water pressure fluctuations.

These can result from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.

When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that

the minimum pressurerequired by the shower is maintained (see “Effect of Other Water Devices”).

1. Your shower has been designed for convenience, economy and safety of use, provided that it is

installed, used and maintained in good working order and in accordance with our instructions and

recommendations.

2. All wiring and installation must be supervised by a suitably qualified person.

3. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

4. The installation must be in accordance with the current edition of BS.7671 (the “IEE Wiring

Regulations”) and “Part P” of the “Building Regulations” in force at the time of installation.

Installations outside the United Kingdom must also conform to any local regulations in effect.

This appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the fixed electrical wiring of the mains

supply with its own dedicated supply.

5. This appliance must NOT be fitted where it may be subjected to freezing conditions

6. DO NOT switch the appliance on if you suspect it of being frozen.

Wait until you are sure it has thawed out.

7. DO NOT fit any sort oftap or control on the appliance outlet. The appliance is designed to have

an open outlet and should only be used with “Redring” recommended fittings.

8. Take care to avoid restricting the outlet of thepressure relief device.If water leaks from the

pressure relief device, maintenance will be required before the appliance can be safely used.

CONTENTS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

IF WATER IS TOO COLD

Turn inner knob “B” clockwise in the

direction of the “red arrows” to “1 o’clock”

and continue turning clockwise until you get

the water temperatureof your liking.

Wait 20 seconds after each adjustment

for the water temperature to stablise.

IF WATER IS TOO HOT

Turn inner knob “B” anti-clockwise in the

direction of the “blue arrows” to “11 o’clock”

and continue turning anti-clockwise until you

get the water temperature of your liking.

Wait 20 seconds after each adjustment for

the water temperature to stabilise.

If after turning fully anti-clockwise, water is

still too hot, adjust outer knob “A” to

“ (medium)” setting and re-adjust as above.

Water flow will be reduced on this setting.

9. Isolate the mains electrical and water supply before removing the front cover of the appliance.

1. Ensure the electricity and water are turned on to the unit.

2. Your shower has 3 power settings selected by turning outer

knob “A”.

The most popular is “ (high)”.

There are also options for a “ (medium)”

or “ (cold)”shower (see notes 8 and 9).

For this example turn outer knob “A” to “ (high) ”

and set inner knob “B” to “12 o’clock”.

3. The water will flow and the neon light will glow brightly.

4. Allow about 20 seconds for the temperature of the water

to stabilise.

5. Once a temperature setting to your liking

has been achieved, inner knob “B” will rarely

need adjusting. You must however take into

account required adjustments for variations

of incoming mains water temperature

between summer and winter (see “Effect of Seasonal Incoming Water Temperature Changes”).

6. When you have finished showering, turn outer knob “A” anti-clockwise to the “ (stop)”

position. Water will continue to flow for up to 3 seconds before switching off.

This reduces the temperature of the water inthe tank forthe next user.

Switch off the electricity at the ceiling switch or local isolator.

7. The “ (medium)” setting of outer knob “A” reduces the power used by the shower giving a

cooler shower or the option of reduced water flow. This option is mainly used for summer usage

and if this is used then inner knob “B” must be re-adjusted.

8. The “ (cold)” setting of outer knob “A”will supply water without anyheating, and the neon

light will go out.

9. Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure

fluctuations (see “Effect of Other Water Devices on Incoming Water Supply”).

10. Note that inner knob “B” IS NOT A TAP and does not turn the water off.

WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH THE SHOWER ON IF YOU SUSPECT IT OF BEING FROZEN.

WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT HAS THAWED OUT.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE SHOWER IF WATER LEAKS FROM THE PRESSURE

RELIEF VALVE. MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE SHOWER CAN BE

SAFELY USED.

HOW TO USE YOUR ACTIVE 320S SHOWER (DETAILED)

WARNING: CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO SUPERVISING THE YOUNG, ELDERLY

AND THE INFIRM WHILST THEY USE THIS SHOWER

1. Water is heated instantaneously as it flows over the

heating elements in the copper cylinder (diagram 2).

2. The heaters are only switched on when sufficient

water is flowing.

This is done automatically with a switch which works

on water pressure and is indicated by the neon light

illuminating depending on the power selected by

outer knob “A”.

3. The water is turned onand off by the solenoid valve

built into the shower.

This is switched on when outer knob “A” is clicked

clockwise.

4. The flow of water is automatically held at the level

set by the user even though the supply pressure

may vary (see “Effect of Other Water Devices on

Incoming Water Supply”).

5. If the water supply falls below a set limit, thepressure switch will operate and switch off the

power to the elements. This is indicated bythe neon light going out (see “Effect of Other Water

Devices on Incoming Water Supply”).

6. As a further safeguard, a thermal cut-out switches the power off if the water temperature

climbs above the set limit. This cut-out, which gives an audible click, may also operate due to

residual heat when the shower is switched off.

It will reset itself if water is run through the shower for 10 to 20 seconds.

7. The pressure relief device is to safeguard against abnormalpressure conditions.

Effect of Seasonal Incoming Water Temperature Changes

The required water temperature is achieved by adjusting the rate of water flow.

Diagram 3 shows the principle involved in relating temperature rise to flow rate.

The higher the water rate the lower the temperature and vice versa.

The temperature of the water supplied from the mains can vary considerably

throughout the year from 5 to 20°C.

This means that in the winter, flow rate will be less than in the summer to

achieve the same outlet temperature.

In summer the “ (medium)” power setting may give adequate hot water.

Effect of Other Water Devices on Incoming Water Supply

Your shower is designed to stabilise temperature changes caused by water pressure

fluctuations. These canresult from toilets being flushed or taps being turned on and off.

When this happens your showering temperature will be held within a controlled band, provided that

the minimum pressurerequired by the shower is maintained.

Your shower requires aminimum operating pressure of 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi).

At pressures above 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi) it will minimise temperature fluctuations as detailed

above. If the water pressure falls below 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi) it is likely that the pressure switch

HOW YOUR ACTIVE 320S SHOWER WORKS

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR ACTIVE320S SHOWER

will turn off the power to the heating elements, resulting i

n a cold shower.

This will be indicated by the neon light going out.

It is recommended that the shower unit and hose etc. be cleaned using a soft cloth and that the use

of abrasive or solvent cleaning fluid be avoided.

We recommend that before any cleaning, the isolating switch be turned off, thus avoiding

accidentally switching on the shower.

WARNING: IN ORDER TO MAINTAINTHE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SHOWER,

YOU MUST CLEANTHE SHOWER HANDSET REGULARLY

All water contains particles of lime, which build up in the shower handset and unit reducing the

performance.

It is therefore important to clean the shower handset by simply rubbing the rubber nozzles.

NOTE: After use it is normal for some water to drip fromthe shower handset for a few moments.

This inhibits scale build-up over prolonged use.

SELF HELP

If the shower is unsatisfactory, make the following checks before calling out the

contractor.

Any one of these adjustments could restore the performance.

The shower cycles

from HOT to COLD The shower temperature is set too hot causing the thermal cut-out (safety

device) to operate.

Turn inner knob “B” anti-clockwise in the direction of the “blue arrows” to

increase water flow.

Slowly increase the water temperature by turning inner knob “B” clockwise in

the direction of the “redarrows” until a comfortable showering temperature has

been reached.

You MUST WAIT approximately 20 seconds foreach adjustment to affect the

water temperature.

“ (medium)” setting may need to be selected.

Water too HOT Increase water flow by adjusting inner knob “B” anti-clockwise (direction of the

“blue arrows”).

“ (medium)” setting may need to be selected.

Increase pressure to water supply e.g. fully open service valve or stop cock.

Check hose is not kinked restricting the water flow.

Clean shower handset.

Water too COLD Check power is on by neon being illuminated.

Decrease water flow by adjusting inner knob “B” clockwise (direction of the “red

arrows”).

“ (high)” setting may need to be selected.

Spray pattern poor Clean the shower handset.

Water takes longer

to heat up Thermal cut-out has operated after previous use

(automatically resets when unit cools down)

“ (high)” setting may need to be selected.

Water goes cold

while using

shower

Check neon light is on.

Check water pressure has not fallen so far as to let pressure switch cut out,

e.g. Another tap drawing water off.

Raise position of shower handset.

WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG (1)

WHAT TO DO IF THINGS GO WRONG (2)

REDRING AFTER SALES SERVICE

Water continues to

flow when

“ (stop)” selected

This is normal.

The shower includes a shutdown feature that means the water will continue to

flow for up to 3 seconds after “ (stop)” has been selected.

Broken parts Please contact our spares department on 08709 000420 (UK only).

Fitting instructions are provided with most spares

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

If the previous “Self Help” checks fail to restore the performance, you should seek professional help.

The person who installed the shower is probably the best one to repair it and is certainly the person

to contact if you have had a problem in the guarantee period.

The following additional checklist is provided for the benefit of the qualified service person.

WARNING: SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY AT THE LOCAL ISOLATOR

BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER TO MAKE CHECKS

WARNING: ALL WIRING AND INSTALLATION MUST BE

SUPERVISED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS SHOWER WHERE IT MAY BE

SUBJECTED TO FREEZING CONDITIONS

We recommend that the installation is done inthe following sequence.

a. Fixing the shower to the wall b. Plumbing c. Electricalconnections

a. FIXING THE SHOWER TO THE WALL

1. Position the riser rail at the height recommended in diagram 5 and

mark its position (also see separate accessories fitting instructions).

2. Position the heater so that the top of the unit is horizontaland level

with, or a maximum of 0.6 metres (2ft) below the top of the

riser rail. Choose a flat piece of wall to avoid the possibility of

distorting the backplate thus making the front cover a poor fit.

3. Adjust the position to get the most convenient arrangement taking

the following into account.

•The possible need to use the handset over the sink for hair washing etc.

•The heater must not be mounted in the direct spray from the handset.

•The handset must not be able to come into contact with used waterin the cubicle, bath or

basin. If it can, even after the hose has been retained by the soap dish (see separate

accessories fitting instructions sheet) then a vacuum breaker must be fitted.

4. Fix the riser rail with screws provided (see separate instructions supplied with accessories)

5. Decide the position of the electrical cable into the unit. If top or bottom entry is chosen

(according to diagram 4), cut away the walls in the backplate as shown in diagram 6.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR ACTIVE 320S SHOWER

6. Decide the position of entry of the cold waterpipe into the unit.

If top, cut away the backplate.

If rear, please read the section on plumbing.

If bottom, remove the front cover (complete with knobs) and cut away the detachable corner

section as shown.

7. If you have not yet done so, remove the front cover assembly by undoing the retaining screws at

the top and bottom of the unit and lifting the cover off.

Your shower is provided with 2 fixing positions in the backplate (see diagram 4).

The top-fixing hole is a “key-hole” slot (another key-hole is provided for alternate fixing), and

should be marked and drilled first.

Tighten top screw withhead protruding about 10mm from the wall and hook the backplate over

the screw head. This allows for correct and accurate alignment of your shower before marking

and fixing the bottom position.

You may not wish to tighten up both screws at this stage as the holes are elongated to allow for

adjustment after otherconnections have taken place.

b. PLUMBING

WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS

BELOW BEFORE CONTINUING WITH INSTALLATION.

The heater must be connected to the mains cold water supply.

This must have a minimum running pressure of 69kPa (0.7 bar, 10 psi)

and a maximum pressure of 690kPa (7.0 bar, 100 psi).

WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING THE PIPE WORK TO THE SHOWER,

ENSURE THAT THE PIPE WORK IS FULLY FLUSHED OUT.

1. Unscrew the “Red Cap” and “Washer” from the shower outlet pipe and discard them in a suitable

manner. These have been used to seal the shower during transit, and are no longer required.

2. It is recommended that a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) listed isolating valve is

fitted between the rising main and the unit.

This will allow the unit to be serviced or exchanged without having to turn off the water at the

water stop valve.

3. The heater can be fed from a header tank provided this has a minimum head of 7 metres (23ft).

Ø15mm copper or stainless steel pipe shouldbe used.

To avoid cross threading, DO NOT REMOVE the nut from the elbow w

hen positioning the pipe.

If top entry is required, turn the elbow 180° into the required position.

If rear entry is required, treat as top entry with an additional “Yorkshire” elbow (soldered type)

for fitting into the rear channel.

In multiple installations, correct pipe work sizes should be calculated to maintain adequate flow

to each shower.

5. It is in order to use a WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved sealant sparingly

whilst avoiding excess finding its way into the shower operating parts.

6. With stop valve connected, flush the pipe work through to remove any particles etc,

before making the final connection to the shower.

Blockage in the water ways (particularly the handset and solenoid valve) will prevent the heater

working properly.

7. The shower is designed to have an open outlet and should only be used with ”Redring”

recommended fittings.

Do not connect the handset until after the shower front cover and corner section are fitted.

WARNING: DO NOT FIT A TAP ON THE SHOWER OUTLET.

WARNING: TAKE CARE TO AVOID RESTRICTING THE OUTLET OF THE

PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE

c) ELECTRICAL

WARNING: THIS SHOWER MUST BE EARTHED.
