Electrical Specification for Lay down/Stand-up units.
Single Phase Models:
Stand-up Sun Shower.
You need a 1 x 63Amp C Type Mcb or 63Amp C type RCBO 100mA breaker to supply the unit. This can either be mounted on your existing board if there is adequate space or a new mini board can be installed from the main supply. Please note if your board is a dual RCD board you will have to mount the breaker on the non-RCD protected side, next to the main isolator.
We recommend you install a 10mm² 3 core SWA thermoset/thermoplastic cable (BS6724 / BS5467 70°/90°) wired to an isolator. The cable needs to be installed either clipped directly or cable tray mounted (Not buried in walls!) We’ve calculated a maximum of 20 meters at this size cable, a longer cable installation will need to be further calculated by a bs7671 qualified electrician
A 63Amp rotary isolator should be installed local to the stand-up unit in a safely accessible location. From the isolator, we require a 2M long 10mm² cable wired into a BLUE female 63Amp commando socket.
Materials: 63A C Type Breaker, 10mm² 3C cable, 63amp rotary isolator, cable fixings.
Laydown Sunbed
You need a 1 x 50amp C Type MCB or 50amp C Type RCBO 100mA breaker to supply the unit. This can either be mounted on your existing board if there is adequate space or a new mini board can be installed from the main supply. Please note if your board is a dual RCD board you will have to mount the breaker on the non-RCD protected side, next to the main isolator.
We recommend you install a 10mm² 3 core SWA thermoset/thermoplastic cable (BS6724 / BS5467 70°/90°) wired to an isolator. The cable needs to be installed either clipped directly or cable tray mounted (Not buried in walls!) We’ve calculated a maximum of 30 meters at this size cable, a longer cable installation will need to be further calculated by a bs7671 qualified electrician.
A 63Amp rotary isolator should be installed local to the stand-up unit in a safely accessible location. From the isolator, we require a 2M long 10mm² cable wired into a BLUE female 63Amp commando socket.
Materials: 50A C type Breaker, 10mm² 3C cable, 63amp rotary isolator, cable fixings
Three Phase Models:
Laydown And Stand-up Models:
You need a 25Amp 3 Pole C type MCB breaker to supply the unit from your distribution board. We recommend you install a 6mm² 5 core SWA thermoset/thermoplastic cable (BS6724 / BS5467 70°/90°) wired to an isolator. The cable needs to be installed either clipped directly or cable tray mounted (Not buried in walls!) We’ve calculated a maximum or 30 meters at this size cable, a longer cable installation will need to be further calculated by a bs7671 qualified electrician.
A 32Amp 4 Pole rotary isolator should be installed local to the stand-up unit in a safely accessible location. From the isolator, we require a 2M long 4mm² 5Core cable wired into a RED female 32Amp 5 pole commando socket.
Power:
Laydown- 10,600 watts.
Stand-up- 11,750 watts.
Additional protection by RCD supply.
Please note sunbeds cannot go on a 30mA RCD supply due to the earth leakage given off from the tubes. If an RCD is required for additional protection from fire, we recommend you install it on a 100mA RCD or adjustable setting RCD supply (Be aware that earth leakage increases as lamps age so the setting may need to be adjusted if using this model). Provided the installation method is clipped directly the BS7671:18 Edition states a rcd is not required.

When fitting an isolation switch, there are several things to Remember. The isolation switch must always be accessible in case of emergency, the switch must not be locked on.
Stand Up
The ideal place for an isolation switch for a stand-up unit is for it to be placed on the back wall to Either left or right of where the sunbed is going to be situated. If the stand-up is going to be placed in A corner of the room, then the isolation switch will be placed on the wall adjacent to the stand either on the left or right. It is to be placed around 5ft from the floor.
Lay Down
When fitting an isolation switch for lay down, the ideal place for it to be placed is on the left-hand side of where the bed is going to be placed. This also needs to be placed around 5ft from the floor and accessible [f you are in any doubt at all where to place the isolation switch before the bed arrives Simply send us a picture of the room you have prepared, and we will happily tell you Where to place it.
With regards to the electrical specification in this email, simply print it off and give it to your Electrician, we are more than happy to speak to your electrician if you have any issues regarding installation. Also, we are more than happy to help, advise builders on room sizes.
Single Phase or Three Phase
When operating sunbeds, you can use a single phase for 1-2 sunbeds in total. If you will be having 3 sunbeds or more, then you require a three-phase supply to operate the sunbeds. If you require a three-phase supply, then you contact your electrical supplier for a quote.
Operational Systems
When renting or purchasing sunbeds, you have two options for operating the beds. You can either use token meters and tokens which we can provide you with free of charge for the sunbeds, or alternatively, if you wish to operate the sunbeds digitally then you can do so by purchasing the Tan Control System.
If you opt for the free token meters and tokens, then you do not need any additional electrics installed for the token meters as these take their power from the sunbed, meaning we install them with a connection straight to the sunbed and mount them to your wall in the sunbed room.
If you wish to operate the sunbed digitally, with the Tan Control System then you will require some additional electrical requirements. You will require your electrician to fit the cabling for the system. You need one cable per sunbed (NOT daisy chain) which runs from your reception area, to where each sunbed is going, ensuring you have plenty of length left for connections. You can source the correct cables with ends from Leisure Control International, by speaking with Chris or Pauline on 01258 489075. We then connect the Tan Control System through the cables your electrician has installed.
ALWAYS USE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN!
If you have any difficulties with your electrics ask your electrician to give us a call on 0151 924 6344, and we will be delighted to help.
