So it is important to ensure that the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is installed in a position that will minimise the length of pipe running between the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit outlet and the showerhead/accessory fittings. -
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).

Page 18: Xerophyte Mixer Installation
If the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit is installed in the ceiling above the shower, 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, 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 22: Xerophyte Controller Installation
When connecting the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit to the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit using the data cable, the first operation is to connect the data cable (ferrite end, see Fig 13) to the triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit. On the ends of both the data cable and Mixer, the data cable connector are screw connectors, which provide a watertight seal. -
Page 23: Fixing Bracket Installation
With the Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit located and the data cable routed it is now time to fit the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit. -
Page 24: Xerophyte Controller Unit Fitting (Wired)
Controller Installation If installing the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit onto a tiled wall, always mount the fixing bracket on the surface of the tiles. NEVER tile up to the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit. Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit fitting (Wired Connectivity Only) Remove the battery compartment cover on the rear of the Triton Xerophyte Controller 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 Controller Unit and that both retaining screws are tight (Fig 20).

Triton Xerophyte Controller Installation Attach the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit to the fixing bracket. Whilst doing so push the excess data cable/data cable connection lead through the hole within the fixing bracket, and back into the wall cavity. Fit Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit cut-outs over the bracket fixing lugs (Fig 23) and slide down Controller Unit into place. - Page 27 Flat Batteries must be replaced with new batteries Fig 25 Make sure the fitting of the batteries is done correctly, otherwise the PCB within the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit could be damaged. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it in place using the two fixing screws previously removed.

Controller Unit screen. The purpose is the enable the installer to hold their hand under the shower outlet to verify that the Triton Xerophyte is functioning correctly. While the Triton Xerophyte Shower Mixer is in commissioning mode all other functionality is locked out. Before commencing the commissioning process you MUST first ensure that the isolating valves on the hot and cold inlets are fully open (Fig 11) and then turn on the water supplies and check the entire installation for water leaks. - Page 29 If the symbols in Fig 26 continue to be displayed, then the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit will need to be relocated. It is crucial for efficient and trouble-free operations to ensure that there is a strong and consistent wireless signal connecting the Triton Xerophyte Controller Unit and Triton Xerophyte Mixer Unit.
