Commissioning
IMPORTANT
- The following instructions must be read and understood prior to commissioning
the Sola thermostatic shower valve. If under any circumstances there are aspects to the
installation / system which do not comply with the specification laid down, the shower
MUST NOT
be put into operation until the system / installation complies with our specification. However if all
these conditions are met, proceed to set the temperature as follows;
1 Ensure that the system is thoroughly cleaned and free from any debris prior to the
commissioning the Sola thermostatic shower valve.
2 Commissioning the temperatures must be carried out using a suitably calibrated
thermometer preferably a digital thermometer.
3 In the absence of other temperatures being specified, we recommend the outlet
temperature quoted in Table 1 are used.
Table 1
4 Each shower valve must be commissioned taking into consideration any fluctuations, which
may occur within the system due to simultaneous demands. It is advisable that any outlets
which are connected to the same supply as the shower valve are opened during the setting
of the mixed water temperature. During commissioning it is advisable to ensure that the
water temperatures are established before any attempt to commission.
5 Once the supply temperatures are stable and the normal operating conditions are
established, the shower valve can be commissioned. The temperature setting can be
adjusted following the procedure described earlier in the Temperature Setting section.
We suggest that the following sequence is followed when commissioning the valve:
5.1 Set the mixed water temperature to the required temperature.
5.2 Measure and record the temperature of the hot and cold water supplies at the
connection to the shower valve.
5.3 Measure and record the temperature of the water discharging from the shower valve.
5.4 Isolate the cold water supply to the shower and monitor the mixed water temperature.
5.5 Measure and record the maximum mixed water temperature and the final
temperature.The final temperature found during the test should not exceed the value
quoted in Table 2.
5.6 Record all the equipment used during the commissioning.
