Powers 450 Piezo ESP HydroPanel II Sensor System for Single and Multiple Shower System Applications - Manual

The ESP (Electronic Sensor Plumbing) Hydropanel™ II Pushbutton Shower
System combines modular shrouding with the convenience of electronic
water control. Hydropanel™ II shrouding provides a concealed shower
system where in-wall piping does not exist or may not be practical. The ESP
Pushbutton Shower System relies on Piezo sensor technology to deliver
tempered water to a shower for a predetermined length of time. The shower
automatically turns on when a bather presses the pushbutton, and auto-
matically shuts off when a bather presses the pushbutton again, or when
the field adjustable run-time has been reached.
Multiple shower applications can utilize the ESP Group Control Box, which
centralizes ESP control for up to eight showers. A microprocessor in the
Group Control Box allows the shower system to be custom programmed for
maximum run time, remote override capability.
The Powers Series 450-ESP shower systems come complete with stainless
steel Hydropanel™ II shrouding, ESP Pushbutton Shower System, shower-
head, piping, soapdish and mounting hardware.
The following instructions serve as a guide for installation of the Powers
ESP Hydropanel™ II Pushbutton Sensor shower systems. Powers recom-
mends good safety practices and care when installing electrical equipment.
Please follow the procedures as outlined. For additional assistance, please

Precautions Before Installation:
• Use a 24V AC step-down transformer.
• Do not supply power to, or plug in, the transformer until all
other wiring is complete. To prevent permanent damage to
the transformer, do not allow power transformer wires to
touch during wiring.
• Before connecting the solenoid valve, flush Hydropanel™
supply lines to ensure supply water will be free of grit, sand,
etc. The solenoid valve requires water free of all foreign mat-
ter to operate properly.
• To inhibit corrosion, a waterproof, multi-purpose grease may
be sprayed onto all electrical contacts.
• Follow the national/local codes and regulations for all
electrical wiring and plumbing.
• Use stainless steel screws for all component installations.
Tools Required:
• Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers.
• Drill with 5/8" bit.
• Pipe wrenches.
• Pipe dope/sealing compound.
• Allen Wrench(s) (included with shrouding).
The ESP Hydropanel™ II Shower System includes a
solenoid valve (non-metallic or brass) which receives tem-
pered water though pre-installed piping. A Powers master
mixing valve such as the 430 Thermostatic mixing valve, or
Hi-Lo cabinet supply fixture, can be used to safely supply com-
fortable water to the ESP Hydropanel™ shower system.
