Visage™ Digital Installation Guide 3
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Safety information
This appliance can be used by children aged
from 3 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way
and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be
made by children without supervision.
This product must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with all relevant current
local and national Water Supply Regulations.
ALL PRODUCTS REQUIRING AN ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION MUST BE INSTALLED BY
A QUALIFIED PERSON FOLLOWING THE
LATEST REVISION OF THE ELECTRICAL
WIRING REGULATIONS, BOTH NATIONAL
AND LOCAL AND CERTIFIED TO CURRENT
BUILDING REGULATIONS.
This system should be installed so that other
taps or appliances operated elsewhere within
the premises do not significantly affect the
flow. The Quartz Smart Valve™ must not be
used with a hot water supply temperature
of over 65ºC. If the maximum hot water
temperature is likely to rise above 65ºC then
a Thermostatic Blending Valve must be used.
The Quartz Smart Valve™ is supplied factory
pre-set at maximum temperature of 45ºC. The
maximum temperature is fully adjustable to suit
site conditions. If adjusted, we recommend the
outlet temperature is set to a MAXIMUM of
46ºC.
The Quartz Smart Valve™ must be installed
in an accessible location for servicing and
maintenance. The Quartz Smart Valve™ must
not be installed in situations where either the
ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40ºC or
where freezing may occur. The controller must
not be installed in situations where the ambient
temperature is likely to fall below 5ºC or rise
above 40ºC.
We do not recommend the use of a controller
in steam therapy facilities. This appliance must
be earthed. Cables must be protected by a
suitably sized conduit or trunking to avoid risk
of damage and to allow removal for service and
maintenance purposes. Failure to install this way
may invalidate the warranty.
Ensure that the conduit is run to avoid the
controller fixing holes.
Surface mounted cables must also be protected
by a suitable approved conduit, even in a loft,
where there may be a risk of damage from
vermin.
The power lead must only be replaced by the
manufacturer or their accredited agent. The
controller is supplied from a safety low voltage
source. This product is suitable for domestic use
only.
Installation of the pumped Quartz Smart
Valve™ (for gravity stored systems)
The pumped Quartz Smart Valve™ shower
system is designed to operate up to a
maximum static pressure of 100kPa
((1 bar)(10 metres head)(14.5psi)). Under no
circumstances must the pumped Quartz Smart
Valve™ be connected directly to the water
main or in line with another booster pump.
The minimum actual capacity of the cold water
storage cistern should be not less than 225
litres (50 gallons). The capacity of the hot water
cylinder must be capable of meeting anticipated
demand.
Installation of the standard (unpumped)
Quartz Smart Valve™ (for balanced
high pressure and unvented systems,
combination boiler systems and
separately pumped gravity systems)
Pressures: The standard (unpumped) Quartz
Smart Valve™ is designed to operate up to a
maximum static pressure of 700kPa ((7 bar)
(100psi)). Where pressures are likely to exceed
700kPa ((7 bar)(100psi)), a pressure reducing
valve must be fitted to the incoming mains
supply. A setting of 400kPa ((4 bar)(60psi)) is
recommended. It should be noted that daytime
pressures approaching 600kPa ((6 bar)(80psi))
can rise above the stated maximum overnight.
