The control box should be located in a dry location and not
exposed to dirt, dust or damp. The box should be accessible when
required, but not within easy reach of unauthorised persons.
It will be necessary to make adjustments and service the control
box after installation, and in the future. Secure access areas and
duct spaces are recommended.
The control box is not designed for direct surface mounting into
washroom areas. Never open the cover with the supply live.
The routes that cables will take when connecting external
equipment to the control box should also be planned at this stage.
The shower control system is typically used with a high security
shower head.
Step 3 : Typical installation
IMPORTANT : It is recommended that hot water is supplied
through an approved TMV3 thermostatic mixing valve (sold
seperately), in order to prevent scalding.
Step 5 : Fixing & wiring

DO NOT leave badly fitted cables

DO check all cables and connections
DO ask for advice if / when necessary
The box should be securely fixed in a suitable location in a
horizontal orientation, so that the front label is read correctly.
Remove lid to expose four fixing locations around the edge of the
enclosure (see Fig. 3). These areas allow the fastening of the box
without removing the printed circuit board.
Drill through these marked areas away from the wall to avoid dust
entering the control box, then hold control box in position against
the wall and mark holes with a pencil. Remove box, drill and plug
marked areas and fix the control box with suitable fixings.
Connect the mains supply lead to a 230V ac supply via a fused
spur, the fuse rating should be 3 Amps. The mains supply should
NOT be initiated until all external equipment has been installed
and wired.
Always read instructions supplied with external components and
ensure that only the supplied equipment is connected to the
control box.
Cables should enter the enclosure through the cable glands. Keep
all connections tidy and do not allow cable to finish or hang in the
transformer area.
It is recommended that each cable is fed through the relative
cable gland into the enclosure; the cable can then be pulled out
towards the fitter to allow the connector plugs to be fitted.
The connector plugs can be disconnected from the mating
sockets when wiring external equipment, double check positions
with the plug orientations as they only fit one way!
When each plug has been wired the cables can be pulled back
through the cable glands, and the plug re-connected to the
corresponding socket. Cables should not be left to torte or slack.
When all connections are made and checked, replace the lid and
secure.

Switch C, Selects lockout on or off. In the ON position each valve
can be opened 4 times in a 15-minute block. The after each 15
minute block, both valve counts are reset.
Purging Notes:
When a valve is operated, the purging timer for that valve is reset.
The timer is reset from the time that the timer starts, so the purge
frequency is as set minus the valve open time.
The frequency ( time between purges ):- 24Hrs
Step 6 : Option setup
As seen in the drawing below, the control box is supplied with a
4-way DIP switch and 3 in-line ON/OFF switches.
The first 3 DIP switches sets the valve open time, once activated
by the corresponding sensor. The 4th DIP switch selects if the
valve can be closed before the run time is reached, by operating
the sensor again. The numbers on the switches i.e. 1,2,3 & 4
simply identify the switch number; actual time settings available
are shown in Step.7 below.
There are also 3 in-line switches fitted to the right side of the DIP
switches.
Settings:
Switch A, when set to ON selects ‘tap mode’, when set
to OFF selects ‘shower mode’. The only difference
between the 2 modes is the available valve open time is longer
for the shower mode.
Switch B, Selects purging ON or OFF. When set to ON the valve
opens for the set open time automatically if it has not been
operated during the purge time. Each valve has independent
purge operation, but the settings relate to both. The purge
frequency is every 24 hours.
IMPORTANT : Changes to settings can only take place when
power has been disconnected for at least 5 seconds.
