Calibration
The Sola Safe Touch mixer tap has a factory set outlet temperature of 38˚C via the security
setting. This is based on a balanced supply pressure and a stable hot water inlet temperature
of 65˚C.
However, the calibration point MUST be checked and re-set as necessary to suit site
conditions.
Care must be taken when re-calibrating the tap as INCORRECT CALIBRATION CAN CAUSE
INJURY.
• Remove the indice (5), retaining screw (6), handle (7).
• Remove both rings (A & B) from the cartridge.
• Temporarily refit the handle (7).
• Using a digital thermometer increase or reduce the mixed water outlet temperature until 38˚C
is established and stabilised.
• Remove the handle (7) and refit the temperature stop rings (A) as shown in Fig 1 onto
the splined section of the cartridge at the maximum temperature position.
• Temporarily refit the handle (7) and rotate clockwise until the water flow stops, refit
temperature stop ring (B) as shown in Fig 2.
• Refit the handle in the reverse order.
• Check calibration temperature.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE CALIBRATED, THE SECURITY SETTING WILL ONLY BE 38˚C
UNDER THE SUPPLY CONDITIONS USED FOR CALIBRATION.
