How do I size the SELV/Class 2 driver for a BathSelect smart shower set?

Add the peak VA of each component (digital mixing valve, diverter, controller), multiply by a simultaneity factor (typically 0.5–0.7 for banks), then add 20–30% headroom. Keep DC voltage drop ≤5% (≤0.6 V on 12 V). Use star topology and 18–16 AWG copper.

What are the typical peak VA values?

Digital mixing valve 10–15 VA, 2-outlet diverter 3 VA, 4-outlet diverter 5 VA, controller 4–6 VA. A common two-outlet set sizes at ~25–30 VA per shower.

What commissioning steps should I follow?

Pre-flush lines; verify 20–80 psi; mount and torque per spec; wire SELV with correct polarity; set limits and max-run; auto-calibrate sensors; verify fail-safe (hot/cold/power-off close); exercise outlet switching; export a commissioning snapshot.

How do I handle EMC near hand dryers/VFDs?

Route low-voltage away from mains; use shielded cable and bond per diagram; add ferrites if needed; place drivers on quieter circuits.

Do BathSelect smart showers support BMS?

Local BLE commissioning is standard; an optional gateway can provide BACnet/Modbus points for read/write of temperatures, status, presets, and cleaning mode.

Technical FAQ — BathSelect Smart/Digital Showers

How do I size the SELV/Class 2 driver for one smart shower?

Sum component peaks (digital mixing valve + diverter + controller). For example, a two-outlet set might total 10 VA (DMV) + 3 VA (diverter) + 5 VA (controller) ≈ 18 VA. Add 20–30% headroom → 22–24 VA. Round to a commonly available 25–30 VA Class 2 driver per shower.

Formula: Driver_VA ≥ (Σ VA_peak) × (1 + headroom) with headroom 0.2–0.3; for banks, multiply by a simultaneity factor (0.5–0.7 typical) before adding headroom.

What cable gauge and run length should I use?

Use 18–16 AWG copper homeruns (star topology) from the SELV driver to each shower set. Keep round-trip runs such that DC drop is ≤5% (≤0.6 V on 12 V). If you exceed the limit, shorten runs, increase gauge, or distribute drivers.

What are the commissioning steps I should follow on site?

Pre-flush hot/cold lines; clean strainers; verify 20–80 psi.
Mount DMV/diverter; torque per spec; leak test at working pressure.
Wire SELV driver; verify polarity; label nodes; keep LV separate from mains.
Connect controller; set limits (e.g., 115–120 °F cap), presets, and max-run (15–30 min).
Run auto-calibration; verify stable 104 °F (40 °C) at typical flow.
Fail-safe test: close hot → shuts; close cold → shuts; remove power → shuts.
Exercise outlet switching; check anti-hammer ramps and cross-flow isolation.
Document settings; export a commissioning snapshot (where supported).

How do I mitigate EMC from hand dryers and VFDs?

Keep LV wiring away from mains and motor feeders; avoid shared trays. Use shielded LV cable in high-EMI zones and bond shields per wiring diagram. If interference persists, add ferrite chokes and move drivers to a cleaner branch circuit.

What hygiene routines are supported?

Warm-up (pre-use), Hygiene Flush (10–30 s after chosen idle period), and Thermal Purge (60–70 °C for 2–5 min, supervised). Systems auto-revert to tempered after purge. Post signage and maintain records per facility SOPs.

Do BathSelect smart showers integrate with building management systems (BMS)?

Local BLE commissioning is standard on many controllers. With an optional gateway, BACnet/Modbus points can expose temperatures, status, presets, enable/disable, and cleaning mode to CMMS/BMS.

What plumbing and mixing guidelines apply?

Maintain 20–80 psi supplies; fit PRVs above 80 psi. Use checks on H/C inlets and full-port isolation valves. For group/recirculated systems, follow ASSE 1017 at the plant for master tempering and minimize dead-legs.

How should I plan outlet flows?

Match your DMV Cv and supply pressure with outlet devices. Typical shower heads range 1.75–2.5 gpm. When using multiple outlets concurrently (e.g., rain + handshower), confirm combined flow within valve capacity and local code.

What finish care is recommended?

Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners and microfiber. Avoid chlorine bleach and harsh acids/alkalis. For scale, use diluted white vinegar or an approved descaler; rinse and dry.

Planning Values — Power & Components (Typical)

Configuration	DMV (VA)	Diverter (VA)	Controller (VA)	Driver per set	Notes
Single-outlet (DMV + controller)	10	—	4	20 VA	Pulse™/Sync™ class controllers
Two-outlet (DMV + 2-port diverter + controller)	10	3	5	25–30 VA	Auto-purge between outlets
Four-outlet (DMV + 4-port diverter + controller)	15	5	6	35–40 VA	Check combined outlet gpm vs Cv

Use 18–16 AWG copper homeruns (star topology). Keep DC voltage drop ≤5% (≤0.6 V @ 12 V). For banks, apply simultaneity (0.5–0.7) then add 20–30% headroom.
