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.
