INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
General
We recommend that the product be brought into the room where it is to be installed
and left to acclimatise to room temperature, this will reduce the possibility of
condensation on electronic components.
The shower works best when water supply conditions are stable and within the
specications, refer to section 'Specications'. If the supply conditions fall outside
the specications, the shower may go into a safe shut down condition.
If pipework and/or electrical cables enter the shower from the rear through a hole in
the wall, provision must be made to prevent water ingress back into the wall structure.
Route cable and pipe supplies via the cut outs moulded in the case and cover.
DO NOT increase the size or cut alternative pipe / cable entry points as water ingress
into the product may occur.
1. Plumbing
Refer to section: 'Important Safety Information' rst.
1.1 Do not use sealing compounds on any pipe ttings or joints.
1.2 To avoid damage to the case when soldered ttings are used, pre-solder the
pipework and ttings before connecting them to the inlet connector assembly.
1.3 Never t the appliance to hot water supplies or to gravity systems of any
description. Only t the product to a mains cold water pipe.
Page 10
10
1.4 Avoid layouts where the shower hose will be sharply kinked. This may reduce
the life of the hose.
1.5 Supply pipework MUST be ushed to clear debris before connecting the
appliance. Debris will reduce the performance of the shower and may damage
the product.
Avoid running the pipework through excessively hot or cold areas such as hot
loft spaces, airing cupboards, or in close proximity to hot water pipes. If this
cannot be avoided, we would recommend insulating the pipes.
1.6 The shower must be tted onto a tiled or sealed nished surface, i.e. on top of
the tiles: [DO NOT tile up to the sides of the shower or use a sealant around the
case.] Failure to do this may cause appliance failure. To ensure the case and
other components are not put under strain during installation always provide
mechanical support when making plumbing connections. Upon completion of
the installation ensure connections and back case are not under any stress
due to misaligned pipework or electrical cables.
1.7 We recommend that a non-restrictive (free owing) isolating valve is tted in
the cold water supply pipe to allow maintenance of the appliance.
1.8 When installed in very hard water areas (above 200 ppm temporary hardness)
your installer may advise the installation of a water treatment device, to reduce
the effects of limescale formation. Any malfunction due to limescale is not
covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Your local water company will be
able to advise the hardness of water in your area.

2. Electrical
Refer to section: 'Important Safety Information' rst.
2.1 In a domestic installation, the rating of the electricity supplier’s fuse and the
consumer unit must be adequate for the additional demand. All Mira Advance
ATL electric showers are high power appliances. Voltage drop due to local
heavy demand will reduce the shower’s performance.
2.2 The appliance must be earthed by connecting the supply-cable earth conductor
to the earth terminal.
Any supplementary bonding and supply cable size must conform to BS 7671.
2.3 As a guide only, and in accordance with BS 7671 we recommend close circuit
protection:
i.e. 9.0 kW = 40 Amp
9.8 kW = 45 Amp
In accordance with BS 7671, a 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD) MUST
be included in the electrical circuit. This may be part of the consumer unit or a
separate unit.
A separate, permanently connected supply must taken from the consumer
unit to the appliance through a double-pole switch, which has at least 3 mm
contact separation. The switch can be a ceiling mounted pullcord type within
the shower room or a wall mounted switch in the applicable zone area.
2.4 DO NOT exert strain on the terminal block. Make sure that the electrical
connections are tightly screwed down.
2.5 DO NOT turn on the electrical supply until the plumbing has been completed.
2.6 Unless otherwise stated, electrical equipment such as extractor fans, pumps
must not be connected via this product.
1.9 The position of the shower and shower ttings must provide a minimum gap of
25 mm between the showerhead and the spill over level of any bath, shower
tray or basin and a minimum gap of 30 mm between the showerhead and the
spill over level of any toilet, bidet or other appliance with a Fluid Category 5
backow risk.
Note! There will be occasions when the hose retaining ring will not provide a suitable
solution for Fluid Category 3 installations, in these instances an outlet double
checkvalve must be tted, this will increase the required supply pressure typically by
10kPa (0.1 bar). Double checkvalves tted in the inlet supply to the appliance cause
a pressure build up, which affect the maximum static inlet pressure for the appliance
and must not be tted. For Fluid category 5 double checkvalves are not suitable.
1.10 Wall xings are supplied for solid wall structures. For other wall structures such
as panels alternative xings may be required. A minimum of 2 xing screws
must be used.

Wireless Installation (Flex Extra Wireless J97P model only)
1. The wireless version of the Instantmatch by Whale® Pump is connected to the
Mira Advance ATL 'Extra' Wireless shower model with a radio signal.
2. For optimum signal strength, site the pump transformer as close to the shower
as possible. See the 'Wireless Signal Schematic Diagram' for shower and
drain pump positions.
3. Metal objects such as steel baths or sinks, cold water storage tanks, hot water
cylinders, foil lined plaster board walls, radiators and even thick brick walls, can
all reduce the operational range of any radio controlled product dramatically.
Interference from other radio signals can also reduce the ability of the shower
and drain pump to register or communicate. These may include; mobile phones,
radio control boiler thermostats, wireless broadband routers, radio control toys,
cordless phones, remote outdoor weather stations etc.
If you encounter difculty registering the drain pump to the shower make sure
all other radio interference is temporarily switched off.
Note! Failure to follow these guidelines can result in poor, intermittent or
complete failure to communicate with the drain pump.
4. Install the drain pump in accordance with the separate installation guide
supplied.
5. Register the drain pump to the shower. See section 'Drain Pump Registration'.

BEAB Care
If the shower's maximum temperature is set to 41 °C or cooler, there is a clear triple
beep tone and single pulse of the Start/Stop light every time the double pole switch
is turned on. This is to indicate that the appliance is in a 'BEAB Care' compliant
mode. If recommissioning is required whilst in this mode, wait until 3 beeps have
passed before starting the commissioning cycle.
Memory Model
If the maximum temperature is adjusted after it has been stored in one or more of
the memory buttons (refer to section: 'Operation, Storing the Memory Presets'
in the 'Mira Advance ATL User Guide'), then the showering temperature cannot
exceed the new maximum setting.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS
1. Installer Troubleshooting Guide
Refer to section: 'Important Safety Information' rst and refer also to 'User Trouble
Shooting Guide'.
The following troubleshooting solutions may require the removal of the cover of the
shower. The cover should only be removed by a competent tradesperson and when
doing so they should be aware of the following:
• Isolate the electrical and water supplies before initially removing the
cover.
• Make sure Ribbon Cable is disconnected when removing the front
cover and reconnect when maintenance is complete.
• Mains connections are exposed when the cover is removed.
• Refer to wiring diagram before making any electrical connections.
• Make sure all electrical connections are tight to prevent arcing/
overheating.
• Make sure all plumbing connections are watertight.
When following these instructions, it is sometimes necessary to examine the
appliance with the electrical and water supplies turned on. It is therefore essential
that the appropriate safe working practices are followed in accordance with the
current Health and Safety Legislation.
If conducting a continuity check using a multimeter, make sure the electrical supply
is ISOLATED.
Page 27

2. DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Ensure the shower pullcord / isolator switch is in the OFF position, then turn
ON the pullcord / isolator switch.
2. If the unit ‘Beeps’ & the Start / Stop button is ashing WAIT for 20 SECONDS
until the button stops ashing.
NOTE! If the Start / Stop button continues to ash & no beep was heard
upon start up, refer to ERROR CODE 16 on the fault code sheet.
3. Start the shower & observe light fault indication (if any) & refer to Error Code
Sheet to determine failure and rectify.
NOTE! If the shower operates normally run the unit for at least 5 minutes
at showering temperature & ensure the temperature remains stable.
4. Turn the shower off at the Start / Stop Button & observe ‘phased shutdown’.
DO NOT isolate the power at the pullcord / isolator switch until the water ow
stops.
5. Turn off the power at the pullcord / isolator switch, then turn the power back
on and commission the shower.
6. Run the shower for at least 5 minutes.
7. Show the user the correct start / stop procedure and general operation of the
shower. Advise user that isolating the shower before the ow has stopped
may damage the shower.
For the fault codes 0 to 14 and 18, the reset light will be on or ashing. This will
require the shower to be turned off at the pullcord / isolator switch to reset
the unit. When the pullcord / isolation switch is turned back on the shower
may beep and the Start / Stop button may ash. If this occurs go back to
action number 2 and re-follow the Diagnostic Procedure.

BEAB CARE IN-SERVICE TESTS
The following procedure applies to products operated and maintained within the BEAB Care
requirements. This procedure should be conducted by designated, qualied and competent
personnel only.
To maintain the validity of the BEAB Care mark, regular inspections of the installation and
appliance should be carried out. The purpose of the in-service tests is to monitor and record
the performance of the shower. Any deterioration in performance can indicate the need for
maintenance work on the appliance and/or the water supplies.
Frequency of Inspections
Upon the initial installation of the shower and after any major repair work (e.g. Renewing
the Flow Valve or Heater Tank etc...), the in-service tests must be performed and the results
recorded on the BEAB Care In-Service Test Record to provide a reference point for future
inspections. (The BEAB Care In-Service Test Record is on page 34 and 35).
The shower should be inspected again within 6 to 8 weeks after installation or any major repair.
If there is no signicant change in the outlet water temperature greater than ±1 ºC between
the two inspections, the in-service test frequency may be reduced but must not exceed 12
months between any two inspections.
Equipment Required
The following equipment or suitable equivalent will be required in order for the tests to be
performed:
Digital Multimeter (crocodile clip probes are recommended)
100 mm diameter plastic funnel
Digital liquid thermometer accurate to 0.1 ºC
2 - 22 l/min ow measure cup
Cup or container suitable for catching water

1. Run the shower with the temperature control set to full cold and the ow set to high for 2 - 3 minutes
and then stop the shower. Isolate the electrical and water supplies.
2. For falling supplies, remove the inlet lter (see Maintenance) and use a cup or suitable container
to catch a small quantity of water that will ow from the inlet connector as the lter is removed.
Measure the temperature of the water that is collected.
3. For rising supplies, remove the inlet lter (see Maintenance) and use a suitable probe to measure
the temperature of the water inside the inlet connector.
4. The temperature of the water must be within the range of 5 - 20 ºC, record the temperature on the
test record.
5. Clean and if necessary renew the inlet lter. Ret the inlet lter (See Maintenance.)
6. Switch on the electrical supply to the shower and measure the voltage at the terminal block. The
voltage must be in the range 230V ±10%. Isolate the electrical supply and record the voltage on
the test record.
7. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Reprime the shower (see Installation - Priming the
Shower).Remove the showerhead from the hose. Position the end of the hose to allow water to drain
safely when the shower is running, if necessary secure the hose in this position.
8. WARNING, LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE EXPOSED WHILE SHOWER IS RUNNING!
Connect the ribbon cable to the cover. Switch on the electrical supply to the shower and run the
shower with the temperature control turned to full hot and the ow set to high. Measure the supply
voltage at the terminal block (this may require a second person to assist). Stop the shower, isolate
the electrical supply and record the voltage on the test record.
(If the ribbon cable becomes disconnected the shower will assume a failure has occurred and stop
automatically. Isolate the electrical supply, reconnect the ribbon cable and restart this section of
the test.)
9. Ret the cover and screws. Ret the showerhead to the hose and reattach to the slidebar or
showerhead holder. Switch on the electrical supply to the shower.
10. Run the shower with the temperature set to full hot and the ow set to high. Using the plastic funnel,
catch all the water owing from the showerhead and measure the temperature of the water owing
from the funnel. The temperature must be no more than 2 ºC above the maximum temperature
setting. Record the temperature on the test record. Using the ow measure cup, measure the rate
of water ow from the funnel and record the result on the test record.
11. Run the shower set to full hot and the ow set to high. Slowly restrict the water supply to the shower
by closing the isolating valve gradually until the shower shuts down due to the reduced ow. Switch
off the electrical supply and open the isolating valve by a small amount. Remove the cover and
hold down the air bleed button (see Installation - Priming the Shower) to expel all hot water from
the tank.
12. Ret the cover and switch on the electrical supply to the shower. Run the shower for 2 - 3 minutes
at full hot and high ow to make sure that it will operate continuously, then measure the water
temperature and rate of ow as described in test 10 and record the results on the test record. The
temperature must be no more than 2 ºC above the maximum temperature setting. If the shower will
not run continuously for at least 2 minutes and shuts down due to a temperature or ow error, then
reset the shower and reprime to again expel all hot water. Open the isolating valve by a further small
amount and attempt a retest. Always have the cover tted when running the shower during
this test. When a successful test has been performed and recorded, open the isolating valve fully
and set the temperature to mid blend. Stop the shower and isolate the electrical supply. Secure the
cover with the screws.
If the normal operation outlet water temperature has changed by more than 1 ºC since the previous
inspection, or if either of the outlet water temperature measurements are more than 2 ºC above the
maximum temperature setting, the shower showerhead, hose and inlet lter should be checked for
blockages and cleaned and descaled or if required renewed. Checks should be performed to conrm
that any check valves or other backow prevention devices are working correctly and that any isolating
valves in the supply pipework are fully open. The shower should be recommissioned at the relevant
maximum temperature setting and retested. If the temperatures are not able to be brought in line with
these requirements, the shower must not be used.
