Kohler DTV+ - User Manual

DTV+ Quick Start
The DTV+ Quick Start software has been introduced to simplify the initial setup of the digital shower valves. This allows the
installer to quickly complete the basic valve setup and system configuration and testing.
Important Notes:
1. Quick Start can be used for any custom shower design or DTV+ Spa configuration installation.
2. For Spa configurations (configurations A to E), the valve outlets must be connected to the terminal fittings exactly as
indicated in the installation instructions. (See Attached Plumbing Layouts for Each Configuration)
3. Quick Start will only configure the shower valve outlet setup. All other settings must be completed through the embedded
web pages.
4. In Spa configurations, certain valve combinations do not use all available valve outlets (these can be used for additional
applications outside the Spa experiences). These outlets must be configured via the embedded web pages.
5. After Quick Start is completed, the digital valves will be configured and the system can be operated to complete testing. If
corrections are required, Quick Start can be accessed via the settings icon.

The document describes the DTV+ Quick Start software, designed to simplify the initial setup and configuration of digital shower valves. This software allows installers to quickly complete basic valve setup, system configuration, and testing for Kohler DTV+ digital showering systems.

Function Description:

The DTV+ Quick Start software streamlines the installation process for Kohler DTV+ digital shower valves. It enables installers to configure the shower valve outlet setup for both custom shower designs and DTV+ Spa configurations (A to E). The software guides the user through identifying and assigning outlets, selecting appropriate descriptions for each, and activating desired features like spa or massage. While Quick Start handles the basic valve setup and system configuration, more advanced settings, such as lighting, music, steam, default temperatures, and user preset naming, must be configured through the embedded web pages of the DTV+ interface. The software is designed to ensure that the digital valves are correctly configured and the system is operational for testing after the Quick Start process is completed. If any corrections are needed, Quick Start can be re-accessed via the settings icon on the DTV+ interface.
