2.1. Instantaneous gas-heated showers (e.g. combination boilers) - The shower MUST be installed with a multipoint gas water heater or combination boiler of a fully modulating design (i.e. where the water draw-off rate indirectly controls the gas flow rate to the burner). A drop tight pressure reducing valve (PRV) MUST be fitted if the supply pressures exceed 3 bar maintained.
Page 9
2.2. Gravity fed showers - The shower control MUST be fed from a cold water storage cistern and hot water cylinder providing nominally equal pressure.
Page 10
2.3. Mains pressurised instantaneous hot water shower, heated from a thermal store - Packages of this type, fitted with a tempering valve can be used with the Mira Realm. A drop tight pressure reducing valve MUST be fitted if the supply pressures exceed 3 bar maintained.
Page 11
2.4. Unvented mains pressure showers - The shower can be installed with an unvented, stored hot water cylinder. Only a "competent person" as defined by the Building Regulations may fit this type of system. For packages with no cold water take off after the appliance reducing valve, it will be necessary to fit an additional drop tight pressure reducing valve when the mains pressure is over 3 bar.
Page 12
2.5. Pumped showers (inlet pumps) - The shower can be installed with an inlet pump (twin impeller). The pump MUST be located on the floor next the hot water cylinder. The hot water cylinder/vent pipes must be arranged as shown to achieve air separation.
Section Installation 1. General Read section Installation Requirements first. Concealing Important! Two flow regulators (grey housing Plate with black insert) are supplied with this product. By fitting these in the inlet elbows of the shower control (see diagram) this Compression product can be used with high pressure Olive systems.

1.9. Temporarily fit the rigid riser pipe and horizontal arm and wall bracket to the shower control outlet and mark the position of the wall bracket. Use a spirit level to ensure the pipe is vertical. Note that the horizontal arm can be shortened if required.
Section Commissioning 1. Maximum temperature setting This thermostatic shower control has been fully performance tested and the maximum temperature has been pre-set to approximately 42°C under ideal installation conditions at the factory. Site conditions and personal preference may dictate that the maximum temperature has to be reset.

1.6. Locate the 2.5 mm A/F hexagon wrench (supplied) in the grub screw. Cooler 1.7. Adjust as follows: Warmer - Turn anti-clockwise Cooler - Turn clockwise. Warmer 1.8. Refit the lever assembly in reverse order and turn the shower control off.
Section Operation 1. Realm This thermostatic shower control has a single sequential lever. The shower control is turned on by turning the control lever anti-clockwise. The shower control is turned off by turning the control lever clockwise. When the control lever is turned on (anti- clockwise) the sequence is: Cold water à...
