Installing the Front Plate
Installing the Front Plate
Note: A glass carrier/suction lifter is required.
Checking back box prior to installation of front plate
Before commencing the installation of the front plate the
polystyrene blanking panel must be removed from the back box.
The next step is to ensure that the appropriate cables and their
connectors are present within the back box.
It is important to ensure that the flange inside the back box is
cleaned using a grease removal agent and allowed to dry. The
space between the back box and front plate must be even on all
four sides. If the flange needs to be straightened, this must be
done before proceeding any further. This is very important, as
any damage will affect the unit’s waterproofing capabilities.
Installation of the front plate
Remove the front plate from its packaging and place the remote control
to one side.
Introduce the lower front edge of the unit into the box and fit the earth
straps to the two Earthing screws as indicated by the green labels on
the rear of the front plate. Connect all cables to their respective sockets
(refer to pages 5 to 9 of these instructions).
The next step is to remove the soft adhesive protector
from the top length of special Velcro‚ and press the
front plate into the back plate (it may be necessary to
adjust the position of the cables to achieve a good fit).
The unit installation must comply with all relevant electrical safety regulations before turning the mains
supply to the 12VDC power adaptor on using the remote pull switch. The unit should now show a red
indicator light showing that it is in standby mode.
The next step is to tune the unit as detailed on pages 17 to 20
and 22.
Once you are satisfied that the unit is tuned and working correctly,
press the Power 0/I button on the remote control to put the unit in
standby mode and isolate the unit using the remote pull switch.
Gently remove the front plate using a suction lifter. Do not use a
lever to remove the front plate as this will invalidate your
guarantee. Next, remove the self-adhesive protectors from the side
and bottom Velcro strips and press the front panel into the back
box with reasonable force. Take care to apply force to all four sides
of the box. Restore mains power using the remote pull switch and
press the Power 0/I button on the remote control to turn the unit on
again and check that it is still working correctly.
Sealing the unit
When you are sure that the unit is installed correctly put it in standby mode and apply a clear silicone
sealant to the joint between the sides of the back box and the sides of the front plate. Ensure that the
silicone is worked into the space evenly and is applied
without any gaps, bubbles or voids. Wipe any excess
silicone sealant away and check for any imperfections.
Rectify any errors as necessary.
This seal is essential for
the reliable and safe operation of the TileVision
®
and
must be completely waterproof.
Sealing Tip
: To achieve a neat seal easily it may be found useful
to use masking tape around
the TileVision
®
glass screen
and the surrounding tiles, just
leaving sufficient gap to apply
the silicone sealant around the
joint between the sides of the back
box and front plate. The acrylic surround can be fitted using silicone
sealant once the tape is removed.
Fitting the acrylic surround
The mirrored acrylic surround is a cosmetic addition and has no bearing on
the integrity of the waterproof seal of the TileVision
®
.
If the surround is being fitted to the TileVision
®
, the same silicone
sealant used to seal the screen into the back box can be used to fasten
the surround to the wall.
Lay the surround on a flat surface and apply the silicone to the matt
grey surface as shown.
Once the adhesive has
been applied, align the
surround with the
TileVision
®
using a spirit
level as a guide and
press the acrylic
surround firmly to
the wall.
After the silicone
sealant has hardened the
protective film can be remove from the front of the surround.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the screen and surround, use only a soft damp cloth. Under no circumstances are
abrasive cleaners to be used, failure to observe this warning will invalidate your guarantee.
