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 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. If possible, site the valve in a location where any leak would be contained or routed to avoid areas sensitive to water damage. Isolating valves must be installed to both inlets (supplied) and 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. Important Information Regarding Radio Controlled Devices · Metal objects such as steel baths or sinks, cold water storage tanks, hot water cylinders, foil lined plaster board walls, radiators and even thick brick walls, can all dramatically reduce the radio operational range of any radio controlled product. · Interference from other radio signals can dramatically reduce the ability of the Vier Wireless Controller / digital mixer to register or communicate. This may include; mobile phones, radio control boiler thermostats, wireless broadband routers, radio control toys, cordless phones, remote outdoor weather stations, wireless doorbells etc. · If you encounter difficulty registering the wireless controller and digital mixer ensure all other radio interference is temporarily switched off. Note! Failure to follow these guidelines can result in poor, intermittent or complete failure to communicate with the digital mixer. Note! Both the Wireless Controller and Digital Mixer contain internal radio transmission aerials which are directional in operation. In order to achieve optimum radio signal strength and therefore optimum communication distance It may be necessary to alter the Wireless Controller and Digital Mixer relative orientation / position to each other. 13 1212373-W2-D Typical Suitable Installations: 1.

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. 1212373-W2-D 14 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. Boiler Rating 24 kW (80,000 Btu/h) 30 kW (100,000 Btu/h) 36 kW (120,000 Btu/h) Flow Regulator 7 litres/min 9 litres/min Not required Colour White/Green White/Orange - Dual outlet valve shown Green Orange Unscrew hot inlet plastic nuts and remove pipe and seal to gain access to the checkvalve cartridge and filter. Use flat blade screwdriver to carefully lever cartridge out. Fit/remove the flow regulator from checkvalve cartridge behind filter as required. Refit seal, pipe and plastic nut. Plastic nuts require hand tightening only. 15 1212373-W2-D Use of Warm-up Feature with Combination Boilers When using the warm-up feature (see User Guide) with the digital mixer valve supplied via an instantaneous water heater/combination boiler, the user may experience a brief temperature fluctuation. This is caused by the normal operation of a standard instantaneous water heater/combination boiler whereby the boiler will turn off when the flow is stopped (as happens after the warm-up sequence has been completed). Upon restart of the shower, a cold shot will be flushed through followed by a brief hot shot until the hot water supply has stabilised. 2. Mains Pressurised Instantaneous Hot Water Shower, Heated from a Thermal Store Caution! Risk of product damage. Do not fit the Mira Digital Mixer - PUMPED VALVE with Mains Pressurised Systems.

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. 17 1212373-W2-D Typical Examples of Poor Plumbing and Installation 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 tempera- tures 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 wireless controller in a position where communication with the Digital Mixer Valve is poor e.g. mixer valve installed under metal bath, in front of metal cistern, on foil backed plasterboard, more than the recommended distance away etc. · 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 Less than 230 Litres Incorrect Cold Take-off Bath Installation Incorrect Hot Take-off Affected by Metal Bath / Poor or no Communication Steel / Cast Bath Less than 230 Litres Shared Supplies No Access Incorrect Cold Take-off Plastic pipework not rigidly supported. Air-locking Pipework Shower Installation Incorrect Hot Take-off Distance Too Far / Poor or No Communication 1212373-W2-D 18 Installation Schematic Digital Mixer Valve Isolators Metal pipework must be earth bonded Cold Inlet Hot Inlet Dual Outlets To Mains Power Supply 3 amp switched fused spur. Easily Accessible A separate, permanently connected supply must be taken from the ring main to the appliance through a 3 amp double pole switched fuse spur providing a minimum 3mm contact separation gap in each pole. Ensure the switched fused spur is easily accessible for servicable and resetting purposes. 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. A 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD) must be included in the electrical circuit. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit. 19 1212373-W2-D Long inlet 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. Valve Installation Orientation Inlets Outlets Inlets Outlets Mounting on a Vertical Surface Mounting on a Horizontal Surface The digital mixer valve (which contains the thermostatic mixing valve) may only be orientated in the positions shown above when mounted on a vertical or horizontal surface. Failure to do so will compromise the ability of the unit to fail-safe and deliver constant blend. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a service engineer. Warning! Turn off the electrical and water supplies before proceeding with the installation of the appliance. The electricity must be turned off at the mains and the appropriate circuit fuse electrically isolated, if applicable. 1212373-W2-D 20 Position and Signal Test ISOLATE MAINS ELECTRICITY BEFORE REMOVING COVER!

Easily accesible Ceiling Fed Deluge head Valve Outlets Ceiling Fed Shower Fittings Cold Water Inlet Hot Water Inlet 10 m (Free air) Rear Fed Fitting Wireless Controller Important! When choosing a position for the digital mixer valve in relation to the Wireless Controller and the Shower Fittings, consider the following points: The Wireless Controller can be sited up to 10 m (free air) from the Digital Mixer Valve. However, wall thicknesses and construction types may affect the remote signal strength and thereby reduce the range. The Controller range should be tested on site prior to installation to ensure shower's reliability. Refer to Section - INSTALLATION "Important Information Regarding Radio Controlled Devices". Note! Both the Wireless Controller and Digital Mixer contain internal radio transmission aerials which are directional in operation. In order to achieve optimum radio signal strength and therefore optimum communication distance It may be necessary to alter the Wireless Controller and Digital Mixer relative orientation /position to each other. The length of pipework running from the Digital Mixer Valve to the Shower Fitting will have an effect on the showering temperature and the response time when changing the temperature using the Wireless Controller. The shorter the length of pipework from the Digital Mixer Valve the better the shower will respond. It is recommended that this length does not exceed 5m from the valve outlet to shower fitting. 21 1212373-W2-D The ambient temperature of Digital Mixer Valve site (loft space, airing cupboard etc...) can have an effect on showering temperature. Insulate all pipework as required, particularly from the Digital Mixer Valve to the Shower Fitting. The temperature indicated on the wireless controller display is measured inside the digital mixing valve and due to site conditions is not necessarily the temperature delivered at the shower outlet. Fit 3 x AA batteries (supplied) into the wireless controller. Depending on the type and version of your wireless controller, the software revision number (eg. r04) may be briefly displayed, the controller will then display its default time of 10:00. Place wireless controller in approximate final position (no more than 10 m (free air) from digital mixer valve) and test wireless signal by pressing either " 1 " or " 2 ", and adjusting the temperature. If temperature display remains unchanged and "out of range" symbol is displayed, units are unable to communicate with each other. A sluggish response to button presses indicates poor radio communication without the out of range symbol being displayed. If test fails, reposition the controller closer to the digital mixer valve and repeat test until satisfied the shower will work reliably at all times. Caution! Risk of product damage. Do not run Pumped Valve (low pressure version) without a water supply for longer than 5 minutes during test. Isolate electrical supply to Digital Mixer Valve. Mark the fixing holes in the required positions. Fixing Screw x 3 1212373-W2-D 22 Drill and plug the fixing holes. Note! Installers may wish to use alternative cavity fixings, when installing onto a dry lined, stud partition, shower cubicle or laminated panel wall structures. However, these methods of fixing are beyond the scope of this guide. Secure the Digital Mixer Valve in position with the fixing screws (supplied). Caution! Risk of product damage. Make sure both hot and cold supply pipes are flushed thoroughly prior to connection to the Digital Mixer Valve. Any product malfunction caused by pipework debris is not covered under the guarantee. Connect the hot and cold water supply pipes to the Digital Mixer Valve as indicated on the product lid.

The Slide Bar should be fixed to the wall at a convenient height for all the family. It should be positioned so that water sprays down the centre of the bath, or away from the opening of a shower cubicle. Water should spray away from the Wireless Controller when the Showerhead is held on the Slide Bar. Decide on suitable position for Slide Bar avoiding buried cables and pipes in both wall and ceiling. Make sure slide bar extension will fit through ceiling. 64M5amx.m Ceiling hole centre can be altered to avoid roof joists by using supplied spacers. 600 mm Using template as guide, mark positions of the fixing holes for Wall Brackets (600 mm). Upper hole to be no more than 645 mm from ceiling. Optional spacers (supplied) Note! Use spirit level to make sure fixing holes are vertical. Fold long end of template and move up to ceiling.

The overhead mounting will flow water when switched on (" 1 " or " 2 ") depending on the outlet plumbing configuration. Press " 1 " button and reduce temperature to full cold "CLd". Press " " to increase to full flow. For Low Pressure (pumped) version, let shower run in order to prime the pump. For long pipe runs, let the shower run to allow the pump to prime until a steady stream of water flows. Caution! Risk of product damage. Do not run Pumped Valve (low pressure version) without a water supply for longer than 5 minutes during priming. 37 1212373-W2-D Run cold water through (approximately 2 minutes) and check entire installation for water leaks. Press " 1 " to turn shower off. Fit the second hose washer and showerhead. Press " 1 " to turn shower on. Test operation of shower by increasing/ decreasing both temperature and flow controls. (See User Guide for full details.) Test operation of showerhead spray modes. (See Showerhead User Guide for full details.) Repeat process for outlet 2 by pressing " 2 " button. Refer to User Guide for further instructions on how to use the shower. The Wireless Controller factory default settings are as follows: Maximum Showering Temperature = 45°C Eco Mode = Off Warm-Up Mode = Off Clock = 10:00 (when batteries connected) Clock Display = On Shower Duration = Off Bath Fill Mode = Off Note! If the display reads 4:00 when the batteries are connected the wireless controller will require registering, refer to the initial registration process in section "Digital Mixer Valve: Position and Signal Test". Run the shower and adjust the maximum shower temperature to suit user requirement. Eco, warm-up and clock display can also be altered to suit, refer to wireless controller guide. 1212373-W2-D 38 CONNECTING A SECOND WIRELESS CONTROLLER The following procedure details how to assign the Wireless Controller to the Digital Mixer Valve and test the remote signal strength. Note! Other radio signals from sources such as mobile phones, radio controlled boiler thermostats, wireless broadband etc. can dramatically reduce the ability of the digital mixer valve to register. It is recommended that such items are switched off during this process. Isolate electrical supply to the digital mixer valve. Bring the wireless controller to within approximately 1 m of the digital mixer valve. Fit the three AA batteries supplied into the wireless controller. Ensure the wireless controller LCD lights up then switch on power to the digital mixer valve. Depending on the type and version of your wireless controller, the software revision number (eg. r04) may be briefly displayed, the controller will then display its default time of 4:00 (unregistered). The digital mixer valve will now begin to make a noise as it resets itself and registers with the wireless controller. Droplet symbol is displayed for approximately 30 seconds. Do not remove the batteries or switch off the digital mixer valve. Droplet symbol goes out indicating the digital mixer valve and wireless controller have been assigned to each other. Droplet Symbol Place wireless controller in approximate final position (no more than 10 m (free air) from digital mixer valve) and test wireless signal by pressing " 1 " or " 2 ", and adjusting the temperature. If temperature display remains unchanged and "out of range" symbol Out of Range is displayed, units are unable to communicate with each other. Symbol If test fails, reposition the controller closer to the digital mixer valve and repeat test until satisfied the shower will work reliably at all times. 39 1212373-W2-D RE-REGISTERING The wireless controller has previously been registered to the digital mixer valve at the factory. If communication problems are encountered, a re-registering of the wireless controller may be required. A re-registering of the wireless controller must also be performed should the control PCB in the digital mixer valve be replaced. To re-register the wireless controller to the digital mixer valve carry out the following sequence. Isolate power to the digital mixer valve. Press "+" and " 1 " buttons simultaneously until "End" is displayed on the screen. Restore power to the digital mixer valve. Briefly press the "+" and " 1 " buttons, "SET" will be displayed on the screen. Note! if display reads "Err" press " 1 " and repeat the process. 1212373-W2-D 40 FAULT DIAGNOSIS Read the section "Important Safety Information" first. As with most electronic equipment resetting the mixing valve by powering it down waiting a few seconds then powering it up again can often cure any issues. The Digital Mixer Valve is one part of an entire plumbing system. The fitting of a pump places additional requirements and some systems may require plumbing modifications to allow them to cope with higher flow rates. Providing the Digital Mixer Valve has been correctly installed and is operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this guide, difficulties should not arise. If any maintenance is required then it must be carried out by a competent tradesperson. Before replacing any parts make sure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been resolved. Warning! There are no user serviceable components beneath the cover of the appliance. Only a competent tradesperson should remove the cover.

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. Refer to "Loss of / or poor radio communications" section above Noise Digital Mixer valve box failure Digital Mixing valve air locking Water Hammer Amplified acoustic noise from the pump due to structure of wall or flooring mounting Digital Mixer valve box failure 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. Contact Kohler Mira Ltd 1212373-W2-D 48 MAINTENANCE General Read the section "Important Safety Information" first. Before replacing any parts ensure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been resolved. If the shower 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. 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. 49 1212373-W2-D SPARE PARTS Digital Mixer - High Pressure / Combi Valve B (x 7) 1796.139 Mains Cable 1666.223 Aerial 1796.140 Control PCB 1664.123 Stepper Motor Extension Lead 1664.123 Solenoid Extension Lead 1666.210 Thermistor B A 1796.143 Mixing Valve & Outlet 2 Assembly A 1666.209 Inlet Cartridge + Filter (x1) 1666.199 Inlet/Outlet Connector (x1) A A 1666.215 Flow Regulator 1666.212 Seal Pack - Components Identified `A' 1666.213 Screw Pack - Components Identified `B' 1212373-W2-D 50 1666.225 Push Fit Isolator Digital Mixer - Pumped Valve B (x7) 1796.139 Mains Cable 1796.136 Solenoid Cable 1666.224 Aerial 1666.198 Outlet Tube (x1) 1796.137 Control PCB C A, C 1666.194 Transfer Tube 1666.196 Outlet Clamp A, D D 1666.210 Thermistor 1666.192 Mixing Valve Assembly Includes: 166.199 (x3) 1666.209 (x2) 1666.210 (x1) 1666.209 Inlet Cartridge + Filter (x1) 1666.199 Inlet/Outlet Connector (x1) 1666.195 A Pump Assembly A 1666.225 Push Fit Isolator 1666.212 Seal Pack - Components Identified `A' 1666.213 Screw Pack - Components Identified `B' 1666.197 Solenoid - Components Identified `C' 1796.138 2nd Outlet Solenoid - Components Identified `D' 51 1212373-W2-D Shower Fittings - Showerhead 1688.195 Supply Tube 1688.187 Slide Bar Support 1688.196 Pipe Connection Pack 450.20 RAC Pack 1688.194 Chrome Supply Tube 1688.191 A Upper Support A 1688.193 Slide Bar 1688.185 Clamp Bracket 1799.015 Ceiling Plate 1688.201 360M Showerhead 1688.163 Storm Assembly 1688.167 B Burst Assembly B 1688.165 Cloud Assembly 1688.282 Checkvalve B 1688.161 Rain Assembly 1595.035 RAC Shroud 1603.104 Shower Hose 1688.198 A Wall Spacer (x2) 1688.187 Slide Bar A Support 632.73 Hose Washer (x2) A 1688.312 Installation Template 1688.184 Seal and Screw Pack - Components Identified `B'. 1688.190 Classic Fittings Component Pack - Components identified `A'. 1212373-W2-D 52 Shower Fittings - Deluge Head 1688.196 Pipe Connection Pack 1799.015 Ceiling Plate 1799.014 Ceiling Mount Plate 1656.132 Concealing Shroud 1799.009 Rigid Arm 1688.194 Chrome Supply Tube 1799.013 Brazed Pipe 1656.131 Backplate Assembly 1799.008 250mm Deluge Head (Chrome) 1799.016 Deluge Fittings Component Pack Digital Mixer - User Interface 1742.062 Backplate (Includes Screws & Wallplugs) 1742.090 Wireless Controller 1742.061 Battery Cover (Includes Screws) 53 1212373-W2-D DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING End of Product Life When this appliance has reached the end of its serviceable life, it should be disposed of in a safe manner, in accordance with current local authority recycling, or waste disposal policy.
