General

The installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
The Digital Mixer Valve may be installed in a loft space, under the bath or in a convenient cupboard space, provided there is enough room for maintenance (e.g. Removal of Digital Mixer Valve lid). Failure to do so may result in an inability to carry out any maintenance. Safe and easy access to the product should be available at all times.
When planning your installation, make sure that the digital interface is installed within the cable length range supplied (Cable length 9.5 metres).
When installing a mixer valve in an area not regularly accessed, consideration for potential leaks must be taken into account. While such events are unlikely, it is advisable to periodically check the installation for traces of water on or around the product.

11

1287822-W2-B

If possible, site the valve in a location where any leak would be contained or routed to avoid areas sensitive to water damage.
Full bore isolating valves must be installed to both inlets (supplied) and it is recommended to fit isolators on the outlet, close to the Digital Mixer Valve for ease of maintenance.
Caution! Risk of product damage. The Digital Mixer Valve must be installed in a dry, ventilated area where it will not freeze.

Only install the High Pressure Digital Mixer Valve with a multipoint gas water heater or combination boiler of a fully modulating design (i.e. where the water draw-off rate indirectly controls the gas flow rate to the burner). An expansion vessel must be fitted (and regularly maintained) if any form of backflow prevention device is fitted, e.g. Non-return valve or PRV. This will ensure that excess expansion or pulse pressures do not damage the product or plumbing system.
The expansion vessel may already be fitted within the boiler (check with the manufacturer) and is in addition to the normally larger central heating expansion vessel.

Use of Flow Regulators with Combination Boilers
The Mira Digital Mixer Valve can demand hot water quicker than some instantaneous water heaters/combination boilers can provide, especially in winter when the mains water is colder. A Hot inlet flow regulator may need to be used to ensure that the Digital Mixer Valve can deliver a full range of water temperatures.

Note! The Mira Single outlet digital mixing valves are factory fitted with an 8 l/min hot inlet flow regulator. If installing a single outlet digital mixer with a combi boiler rated 36kW or greater or to mains pressurised systems the hot inlet flow regulator should be removed.

Note! The Mira Dual outlet digital mixing valves do not have a factory fitted hot inlet flow regulator. These are supplied in the component pack. The table indicates which flow regulator should be fitted in the hot water inlet of the Mira Digital Mixer Valve if installing to a combination boiler system.

Air Separation

The shower control must be fed from a cold water storage cistern and a hot water cylinder providing nominally equal pressures. Pipework layouts and connections must be such that other draw-offs will not effect water supplies to the shower, shared supplies may lead to airlocking or water starvation. It is therefore best practice to have
independent hot and cold supplies to the Low Pressure (pumped) Digital Mixer Valve.

1287822-W2-B

Typical Examples of Poor Plumbing and Practices
DO NOT:
· Install the Digital Mixer Valve where it can become frozen
· Install the Digital Mixer Valve where it can be subjected to ambient temperatures in excess of 40ºC
· Position the Digital Mixer Valve where maintenance access is poor or unsafe
· Install into a system where the cold water cistern holds less than 230 litres
· Install into a system where air locking could occur
· Install the Digital Mixer Valve onto shared water supplies
· Install the Digital Mixer Valve less than 100 mm from the lowest level of water in the cistern (low pressure version only)
· Fit plastic pipework unless rigidly supported
· Install a High Pressure/Combi Valve to a Pumped Gravity System

Install the Valve
The installation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions, and must be conducted by designated, qualified and competent personnel.
A separate, permanently connected supply must be taken from the ring main to the appliance through a 3 AMP double pole switched fused spur providing a minimum 3 mm contact separation gap in each pole.
The use of supply-line or zone strainers will reduce the need to remove debris at the digital mixer valve. The recommended maximum mesh aperture dimension for such strainers is 0.5 mm.
Pipework must be rigidly supported to avoid any strain on the connections.
Long outlet pipework (dead-legs) should be kept to a minimum to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Supply pipework layout must be arranged to minimize the effect of other outlet usage upon the dynamic pressures at the Digital Mixer Valve inlets.
To eliminate pipe debris it is essential that supply pipes are thoroughly flushed through before connection to the Digital Mixer Valve.

Possible Remedy
Pumped Gravity LP valves are not suitable for connection to HP/Combi water systems, refer to "typical suitable installation"
Contact Kohler Mira Ltd
No Product Fault. It is natural for all shower outlets to continue to expel water for a short period of time after use. It is not uncommon for larger deluge shower heads, particularly those connected to long outlet pipe runs and therefore holding large volumes of water, to drain down water several hours after use due to the changes in the ambient temperature. We would therefore recommend that all water outlets are kept enclosed within the water catchment area.
Contact Kohler Mira Ltd
Check for correct installation practices, repeat commissioning procedure and rearrange pipework to avoid airlock forming, refer to `Typical Suitable Installations'
Ensure all pipework is securely fixed, refer to `Installation'
The type of wall or flooring the appliance is fixed to will affect the perceived noise level; solid walls will provide a quieter operation.

Maintenance
General Read the section "Important Safety Information" first. Before replacing any parts ensure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been identified. If the digital mixing valve is dismantled during installation or servicing then upon completion the product must be inspected to ensure there are no leaks. Warning! There are no user serviceable components beneath the cover of the appliance. Only a competent tradesperson should remove the cover. Cleaning Many household cleaners contain abrasives and chemical substances, and should not be used for cleaning plated or plastic fittings. These finishes should be cleaned with a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wiped dry using a soft cloth.
Checkvalve Cartridges and Filters - Removal and Installation Hot water entering the cold supply, or vice versa, indicates that immediate attention is necessary. This is carried out by removing and cleaning, or renewing as necessary, the checkvalve cartridges.
Note! Ensure for HP Mixer Valve that flow regulator is refitted in hot supply, if previously fitted.
Isolate the electrical and water supplies to the Digital Mixer Valve, and open an outlet fitting to release pressure and to assist the draining of residual water.
Unscrew plastic nuts and either withdraw pipework or remove Digital Mixer to gain access to the checkvalve cartridges and filters.
Use flat blade screwdriver to carefully lever cartridges out.
Remove filters and clean or renew.

Refit seals, pipes and plastic nuts. Plastic nuts require hand tightening only.

Restore water supply and electrical supply. Test shower and check for leaks.
