OPERATION
The proximity sensor starts the water flow when recognises hands presence.
The delivered water temperature is factory set to approximately 41°C.

SERVICING
The need for servicing is normally identified as a result of the regular performance testing.

FREQUENCY OF REGULAR SERVICING
The purpose of servicing regularly is to monitor any changes in performance due to changes in either the system
or the product. This may highlight the need to adjust either the supply system or the product. These products
should be checked at 6 to 8 weeks and again at 12 to 15 weeks after commissioning. The results are to be
compared against original commissioning settings.
If there are no significant changes at the mixed temperature outlet then a 6 monthly servicing cycle may be
adopted. Otherwise, servicing checks should be carried out more frequently (e.g. every 4 months).
Follow the recommended maintenance procedures detailed in Section 11.0 Maintenance.
During servicing, note the following:
t s requ rement f 5 th t “E h therm st t m x ng v ve sh h ve n s t ng st p t p/valve, line
strainer and non-
return v ve f tted t the h t nd d w ter supp y nes” The n et f tt ngs supp ed w th e h
TMV will ensure this requirement is met. If the CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Mixing Valve is to be installed without the
supplied inlet control valves then it will be necessary to install a separate isolating valve, non-return valve and
strainer to both inlets to the valve.
Strainers must be fitted to prevent any particulate contamination from entering the valve. These strainers should
be 60 mesh stainless steel (0.250mm). Isolating valves are required so that the water supply to the valve can be
isolated when servicing is required. Non-return devices must also be fitted to both the hot and cold inlets to
prevent cross-contamination.
Ensure that the test plugs in the top of the inlet fittings are tight.
The valve should be installed so it can be easily accessed for maintenance or servicing.
During installation or servicing, heat must not be applied near the mixing valve or inlet fittings, as this will
damage the valve and inlet fittings internals. Failure to comply with this requirement will damage the valve and
fittings. It will put the user at risk and it will void the warranty of the valve.
Note: The CliniMix
®
Thermostatic Mixing Valve is intended mainly for use in applications with set
temperatures below 45° Celsius. When installed at higher set temperature, the performance may be less
than
specified in AS4032.4. In such situations consideration should be given to the question of whether
an alternative device, i.e. a tempering valve approved to AS4032.2 would provide a greater margin for
safety in reducing scalding accidents.
