This book contains all the necessary installation
instructions for your Digital Mixer Shower – please
read them carefully.
Care taken during the installation will provide a long,
trouble-free life from your shower.
The installation must be in accordance with Water
Regulations and Bylaws.
BS EN 806 recommends that the temperature of stored
water should never exceed 65°C.
A stored water temperature of 60°C is considered
sufficient to meet all normal requirements and will
minimise the effects of scale in hard water areas.
Standards and approvals
The processing unit is an independently mounted
electronic control. Complies with the requirements
of current British and European safety standards for
household and similar electrical appliances.
Meets with Compliance with European New Approach
Directives (CE).
Declaration of conformity
Triton Showers declares that the HOST/HOME products,
in conjunction with controllers, complies with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions
of the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and the EMC
Directive (2014/30/EU) and the RE Directive (2014/53/
EU)
Important information

The showerhead and hose supplied with this product
are a safety critical part of your shower. Failure to use
genuine Triton parts may cause injury and invalidate
your guarantee.
Please read this book thoroughly and familiarise
yourself with all instructions before commencing
installation and keep it for future reference.
The shower installation MUST be carried out by a
suitably qualified person, following the sequence of this
instruction book.
Plumbing
Supply pipes must be flushed to clear debris before
connecting the processing unit.
Layout and sizing of pipework MUST be such that
when other services are used, pressures at the shower
control inlets DO NOT fall below the recommended
minimum.
DO NOT use excessive force when making connections
to the Digital Mixer Processor unit.
DO NOT choose a position where the Digital Mixer
Processor will become frozen.
DO NOT connect the Digital Mixer Processor unit to
any form of tap or fitting not recommended by the
manufacturer.
The length of pipework from the Digital Mixer
Processor unit to any outlet fitting MUST NOT exceed
5m.
Important information
5
The showerhead or other approved Triton device
MUST be regularly cleaned to remove scale and debris.
If it is intended to operate the shower in areas of hard
water (above 200 ppm temporary hardness), a scale
inhibitor may have to be fitted. For advice on the Triton
scale inhibitor, please contact Customer Service.
DO NOT operate the Digital Mixer Processor unit
outside the guidlines as laid out in ‘site requirements’
and ‘specifications’.
DO NOT connect to a combination cylinder unless the
minimum cold storage can be achieved as the shower
can deliver up to 16 litres/min.
DO NOT connect the low pressure Digital Mixer
Processor unit to the mains water supply as this would
damage the unit.
When installed, the top of the low pressure Digital
Mixer Processor unit MUST be at least 100 mm lower
than the base of the cold water cistern to prevent the
unit running dry.
A dedicated cold water supply MUST be taken directly
from the cold water cistern to the low pressure Digital
Mixer Processor unit.This draw-off MUST be on the
opposite side of the cistern to the float operated valve
to reduce the risk of air entering the unit.
The infill to the cistern should be checked to ensure an
adequate infill rate occurs.
Important information
6
Electrical
The installation must comply with BS 7671
‘Requirements for electrical installations’ (IEE wiring
regulations). Make sure metal incoming hot and cold
water supplies to the Digital Mixer Processor unit are
adequately earth bonded.
DO NOT turn on the electrical supply until the
plumbing connections have been completed. Only
then can the electricity be switched on in order to
undertake commissioning. The Digital Mixer Processor
unit must not be operated dry without water.
The Digital Mixer Processor unit MUST be permanently
connected to a 3Amp fused connection unit and be
provided with means for disconnection incorporated
in the fixed electrical wiring in accordance with current
wiring regulations.
A 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD) MUST be
included in the electrical circuit. This may be part of
the consumer unit or a separate unit.
If the Digital Mixer Processor unit is to be installed
within a bath or shower room the electrical installation
MUST conform to Part P Building Regulation
Requirements for Special Locations.
The Digital Mixer Processor unit MUST only be used
with the AC power supply cable provided. If this supply
cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Triton
engineer or similar qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

Professional installer Notes
In premises with metallic surfaces e.g. metal ceiling
panels, metal ducting and metallic insulating
materials, wireless transmissions MAY BE BLOCKED
from the control panel and prevent correct
operation of the shower.

The installation MUST BE carried out in accordance with these instructions, and
MUST BE undertaken by a qualied competent person.
The Digital Mixer Processor unit may be installed in a loft space, under the bath or in a
convenient cupboard space, provided there is enough room for maintenance. Safe and easy
access to the Digital Mixer Processor unit should be available at all times.
When planning the installation, if you are using the wired connectivity ensure that the
distance between the Digital Mixer Processor unit and Digital Control Panel is within the
range of the 10m data cable supplied, ensuring that the data cable routing is taken into
consideration.
Ensure that the Digital Mixer Processor unit is installed in a position that will minimise
the length of pipe run between the Digital Mixer Processor outlets and the showerhead/
accessory fittings.
The length of pipework running from the Digital Mixer Processor unit to the showerhead/
accessory fittings will have an effect on the showering temperature and the response time
when changing the showering temperature on the Digital Control Panel. The shorter the
length of pipework the better the Digital Mixer Processor unit will respond.
When installing the Digital Mixer Processor unit in an area not regularly accessed,
consideration for potential leaks must be taken into account.
While such events are unlikely, it is advisable to periodically check the installation for traces
of water on or around the processor unit. If possible site the Digital Mixer Processor unit in
a location where any leak would be contained or routed to avoid areas sensitive to water
damage.
Isolation valves are integrated into the push connection fittings supplied for the hot & cold
inlets, ensure that after installation these valves are left in the fully open position as failure
to do this will result in poor flow performance from the Digital Mixer Shower.
The shower MUST NOT be positioned where it will be subjected to freezing
conditions.
All pipe work MUST be rigidly supported to avoid any strain on the connections and
vibrations during use.
Long inlet pipework (dead-legs) should be kept to a minimum to avoid showering
temperature fluctuations
DO NOT connect the Digital Processor unit to a gravity hot supply and a mains cold supply
(or vice versa).
The pipework should be installed such that the flow is not significantly affected by other
taps and appliances being operated elsewhere on the premises.
There are no user-serviceable components beneath the cover of the Digital
Processor unit.
