MUST BE undertaken by a qualified competent person. The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit may be installed in a loft space, in a convenient cupboard or in the shower with the Xerophyte Vanity cove (sold separately), provided there is enough room for maintenance. -
Page 11: Typical Suitable Installations
Interference from other wirelessly controlled devices and radio signals can dramatically reduce the ability of the wireless Triton Xerophyte Shower Mixer to maintain a good, consistent wireless signal. This may include mobile phones, cordless phones, radio- controlled toys, wireless doorbells, etc. -
Page 12: High-Pressure Instantaneous Hot Water Systems
Typical Suitable Installations High-Pressure Instantaneous Hot Water System Installation The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit MUST be installed with a multipoint on demand gas water heater of a fully modulating design (i.e. where the water draw-off rate indirectly controls the gas flow rate to the burner). - Page 13 On-demand gas heaters are not always able to supply an adequate flow rate of hot water, particularly in winter. Triton recommends fitting a flow regulator (supplied with the shower) into the Hot inlet of the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit before installation. Refer to the table for details (see Fig 2).

Typical Suitable Installations High-Pressure Thermal Store Fig 4 Systems Installation The high-pressure system MUST be fitted Mixer Unit with a tempering valve (blender valve). The appliance MUST be capable of raising Circulation loop the temperature of the incoming water to a minimum of 55°C and delivering a flow Hot water rate of not less than 8 L/minute. -
Page 16: Low-Pressure Gravity Fed Systems
IMPORTANT: Pipework layouts and connections MUST be such that other draw-offs will not affect water supplies to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit, shared supplies may lead to air locking or water starvation. It is, therefore, essential to have independent hot and cold supplies to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit. - Page 17 Installations General installation Guidelines Ensure sufficient space is left surrounding Hot & the Mixer unit to allow for pipework, The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit MUST only be connections and maintenance Cold positioned as shown. Inlets The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit can be mounted on a horizontal surface in any orientation(Fig 6).

If the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is installed in a loft area the following requirements MUST be met for future servicing purposes: a. There MUST be no risk of the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit or water pipe becoming frozen or overheating ( > 40 °C) in hot summers. - Page 19 If not completely removed then the collet will not grip the pipe and under pressure, the pipe may be forced out. Before completing the connection of the water supplies to the inlets of the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit, flush out the pipework to remove all swarf and system debris.

Page 20: Electrical Connections
Electrical installation may only be carried out by a qualified person. Electrical connections The Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit MUST be connected to a means for disconnection from the main electrical circuit. The Triton Xerophyte MUST be connected to a residual current device circuit breaker in accordance with current wiring regulations (Fig 12). -
Page 21: Installation Schematic
DO NOT install the wireless Triton Xerophyte Control Unit in a position where communication with the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is poor e.g installed under a metal bath, in front of a metal cistern, on foil backed plasterboard, outside of the 10-metre range. -
Page 22: Xerophyte Control Installation
Triton Xerophyte Controller Installation The Triton Xerophyte Control Unit can be connected to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit in two ways; a) 10-metre data cable or b), wirelessly using AA-sized ALKALINE batteries. We recommend wired installation whenever the installation permits. -
Page 23: Fixing Bracket Installation
When installing the controller, we recommend that it be installed at a place on the wall inside the shower enclosure that is easily accessible from both inside and outside the enclosure. With the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit located and the data cable routed it is now time to fit the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit. -
Page 24: Xerophyte Controller Unit Fitting (Wired)
Controller Installation If installing the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit onto a tiled wall, always mount the fixing bracket on the surface of the tiles. NEVER tile up to the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit. Triton Xerophyte Control Unit fitting (Wired connectivity only) Remove the Battery Compartment Cover on the rear of the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit by undoing the two fixing screws (Fig 17). - Page 25 Replace the Battery Compartment Cover and secure it in place using the two fixing screws previously removed. Ensure that the Battery Compartment Cover sits flush with the rear housing of the Triton Xerophyte Control Unit and that both retaining screws are tight (Fig 20).
