ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE LIMIT The Mira Advance ATL has been factory set to deliver a maximum water temperature of 48°C. If the shower is to be operated within a healthcare or special needs environment, it is recommended that you carry out the procedure detailed below.
COMMISSIONING Important! The Mira Advance ATL will "adapt" it's settings for the individual supply conditions and store this information in it's memory (during manufacture, this information is factory set using ideal conditions). On initial installation, the unit needs to "learn" about it's site conditions and does so during the commissioning cycle. It is important that the unit is commissioned correctly otherwise an error condition may occur.

Mira Advance ATL to perform its shutdown sequence. The red indicator will illuminate and an audible tone will confi rm the action. The Mira Advance ATL will continue to run for a few seconds before stopping. This phased shutdown is to remove heat from the element assembly and tank body.
Press one of the Press 'STOP' before numbered preset buttons turning off the Mira Advance ATL Note! If the electrical supply is isolated without operating the "STOP" button the memory setting will be lost. The "Storing Memory" preset procedure will need to be repeated.
3. How your Mira Advance ATL Shower Works Refer to section: "Important Safety Information" fi rst. 3.1 The Mira Advance ATL has been precision engineered to provide years of high performance showering. To ensure user safety whenever in use, the unit always gives priority to the showering temperature and continually monitors the supply conditions to make sure this temperature is stable.
