For one to two sunbeds you will require a Two-Phase electrical supply.
For three or more sunbeds you will require a Three-Phase electrical supply.
Stand-up sunbed/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 in 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 direct 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 locally to the stand-up unit in a safe 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 in 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 direct 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 locally to the stand-up unit in a safe 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…
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 4mm² 5 core SWA thermoset/thermoplastic cable (BS6724 / BS5467 70°/90°) wired to an isolator. The cable needs to be installed either clipped direct 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 32Amp 4 Pole rotary isolator should be installed locally to the stand-up unit in a safe 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 direct the BS7671:18 Edition states an 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 to be placed on the back wall to Either the 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 up 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 if 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.
