IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES MAINS ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY Mains powered Sensor Operated Products must be connected to a (fused / switched) continuous permanent power supply. Connection to an interrupted power supply intended to stop electrical consumption in an unused facil- ity, may adversely affect this sensor product and is therefore not recommended. Each time the power supply is reinstated the product briefly enters reprogramming mode.
These Markwik 21+ products permit quick & easy removal of the mixer. The spout can also be removed for cleaning, disinfection & maintenance purposes on mixer A6684AA. Dry testing & protective caps These products are delivered to our customers in a dry state.

Timed Flow Mixer Dimensions In healthcare applications the height of the xation holes above the “waste appliance” should be selected to create the recommended “activity space” as de ned in HBN 00-10 Part C, typically 150mm – 200mm for a basin and 250mm – 300mm for a surgeon’s scrub up trough sensor may be mounted either side of the fitting...
Water regulations The fittings covered by this installation and maintenenance instruction should be installed in accordance with the Water Regulations published in 1999*, therefore Armitage Shanks would strongly recommends that these fittings are installed by a professional installer. *A guide to the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Water Byelaws 2000, Scotland is pub-...
INSTALLATION: FIXATION These mixers are designed to be panel mounted on a duct wall of maximum panel thickness 27mm. For thicker panels the rear of the panel will require counter bores of 62mm or greater around the fixation holes. Cut two holes of 30mm diameter, horizontally aligned to 200mm centres in the wall. (See figure 1 for height positioning of the fitting body over a “waste appliance”) The sensor will require a hole of 35mm positioned as indicated in either fig4.

First refer to section 4. Supply conditions. supply pipes A typical example of an installation of a proximity mixer is shown (from above) water here as a guide. In this example, the water supply pipes are pro- flow vided from above (this usually permits better drain down of pipes). Supplies can be from any direction.

FLOW length of 15mm copper tails will define service valve position, ideally adjacent to an access panel Connect water supply pipes to the ser-...
Flushing Important! Small indent on the purging kit must be aligned towards the front of the inlet. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before operating the product, it is strongly recommended to flush the pipe work to remove any residues or debris remaining after installation. A purge kit is available for this purpose. (See 15) The purging kit also provides the facility to obtain water supply temperatures at the inlets Safety Note: Care should be taken when carrying out the following procedure to avoid contact with hot water and hot surfaces.
INSTALLATION: ELECTRICAL Connection of this product to mains solenoids cable from power supply should be undertaken by a sensor competent person and should conform to (red & black) IEE Wiring Regulations. A typical example of an installation of a prox- solenoid linking cable (red &...

OPERATION & SENSOR ADJUSTMENT Operation Both mixers are operated when the user places a hand in the detection zone. Flow will then continue for a preset time of 60 seconds and then stop automatically. The preset time can be adjusted by following the procedure outlined in the section on programming the sensor below. detection zone Figure 16...

Setting temperature for sensor operated mixers These products do not allow the user to select the desired blend temperature. We therefore recommend setting a blend temperature of 39 to 40°C rather than the normally applicable 41°C maximum associated with “user adjustable” products. This ensures comfort to more sensitive users. SERVICING - TVM3 SCHEME The need for servicing is normally identified as a result of the regular performance auditing.
MAINTENANCE When installed as a TMV3 application it is a requirement that the commissioning and maintenance procedures, detailed under 9 & 10, be carried out. 12.1 Adjustment of the mix temperature: retaining • Note: Cartridge is factory pre-set at 40 ± 1°C *. screw •...
Maintenance continued… 12.3 Important notes on debris Although this product is protected by built-in strainers, debris can still find its way to the thermostat housing area. This can happen during servicing for example. Remove cartridge (see section 12.2) and carry out an inspection. 12.4 Thermostatic Cartridge Ageing Following many years of normal service you may notice the following:...
Maintenance continued… 12.7 Hygiene flush (Automatic) This hygiene flush is an important optional function of these products which can be enabled by the in- staller or maintenance staff using the optional remote programming unit (for part number see sect.18). The hygiene flush is used to combat periods of stagnation due to low usage of the product. The func- tion activates the spout automatically if it hasn’t been used for a set time period.
Maintenance continued… 12.8 Solenoid valves FLOW DIRN If water continues to flow when the tap should be off, and if the sensor is correctly ranged, then the solenoid valve may have debris lodged in the diaphragm pilot hole or on the valve seat: •...
Maintenance continued… 12.9 Spout removal This mixer is fitted with a quick easily removable spout to assist with cleaning, disinfection by immersion or sterilisation by autoclaving. Procedure assumes availability of a replacement spout. For both practical functional reasons along with environmental contamination reasons, the mixer should not be left without a spout in place.
12.10 Demounting mixer Maintenance continued… In response to the new requirements of HTM 04-01 Addendum, the designs of these mixers have been enhanced to permit easy demounting of the mixer from the inlets. This updated design permits quick & easy removal of the mixer for cleaning, disinfection (as section 12.9 notes) &...

Demounting mixers continued Inlet O-ring damage If the front O-ring seals (as shown below) fitted on the inlet legs become damaged, then leaking water will cause pressure build-up inside the fitting & eventually force out an end cap. Front O-ring seals If an end cap is forced out, replace the damaged inlet O-ring(s), then drain off any water from the...
Maintenance continued… Protective cover caps If a replacement mixer is not available, a pair of protective cover caps should be fitted to the inlets. For product code see section 18. For both practical and functional reasons along with environmental contamination reasons, the inlets should not be left open.
12.12 Strainers To ensure trouble free operation of the mixer, the integral inlet strainer elements should be checked and cleaned at a frequency in accordance with the commissioning and servicing guide. Unscrew and remove the Chrome Panel Shrouds and pull the Chrome Sleeves forward off the inlet seals.
INTEGRAL ISOLATION VALVES continued… COMBINED CHECK VALVE REGULATORS To prevent back siphonage of water to the supply pipes, check valve regulators (CV/FR’s) are fitted inside the inlet tails at the front of the panel. The CV/FR’s can be replaced, but MUST NOT BE REMOVED. Replacement Instructions First remove the Ø12mm circlip using suitable internal circlip pliers.
