The QTM controller has a proximity sensor, so as you approach or move your
hand towards the QTM controller, the display wakes up and is ready to go.
(You can disable this feature in the Settings menu - see page 17).
Wake-up
Remote control
The remote control* can be sited outside
the shower room, or even in your
bedroom, allowing you to start, stop or
divert your shower before you walk in.
Please refer to Remote Control User
Guide for installation and operating
instructions.
*The remote control is an optional extra with QTM. It can operate the shower from up to 10 metres
away, dependent on building materials and construction of the property. For optimal performance,
the Q™controller should be in direct line of sight with the remote.
The proximity sensor detects
any object directly in front, at
approximately 0.5m away
from the controller.
See page 20 for more
proximity sensor features.
