This Installation Guide contains instructions for the correct connection of the digital shower system.

This product MUST be installed by a competent person in accordance with all current relevant statutes and regulations, including building regulations and the Water

Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (together the

Water Supply Regulations).

All showers requiring an electrical connection

MUST be installed by a qualified person following the latest revision of BS7671 (Wiring Regulations) and certified to current building regulations. Before any electrical connections are made, the electrical supply must be turned off at the main switch. All electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified person only.

All plumbing, power and controller connections are provided on the exteriors of the valve and controller module. There are no user or installer-serviceable parts contained within either unit and disassembly will invalidate the warranty.

The digital mixer valve MUST only be used with the power supply and AC power cable provided. The controller module should only be connected to the digital mixer valve with the 10m data cable supplied.

All high-pressure valves are mixed flow products, which, for optimum performance, require hot and cold supplies to be reasonably balanced, with no more than 0.5 bar pressure difference between them.

Under no circumstances should any low-pressure

(pumped) digital valve be connected directly to the water main supply or installed in combination with a separate booster pump.

Under no circumstances should any low-pressure

(pumped) digital valve be operated without first having connected and turned on the hot and cold water supply.

This may cause damage to the pump resulting in a water leak.

The temperature of the shower hot water supply should not exceed 65°C.

The digital valve must not be installed in situations where it can become frozen, or where the ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40°C.

The digital control module must not be installed in situations where the ambient temperature is likely to fall below 5°C or rise above 40°C.

This product is not suitable for areas with high humidity

(i.e steam rooms).

The dual outlet digital shower valves are supplied factory-set at a maximum outlet temperature of 41°C.

The maximum temperature can be reset to 46°C during set-up if preferred by the user. The dual outlet bath/ shower valves are supplied factory-set to the following maximum outlet temperatures:

• Shower outlet: 41°C

• Bath outlet: 44°C

The maximum temperature of both outlets can be reset to 46°C during set-up if preferred by the user.

Warning! If the maximum temperature is reset to 46°C this is entirely at the risk of the owner and Bathroom

Brands can accept no liability for any resulting injury.

Important: The digital valve must be installed in an accessible location for servicing and maintenance.

No warranty claim can be considered or liability accepted by Bathroom Brands if lack of accessibility has prevented maintenance.

All pipework must be checked for leaks before the product installation is completed. The product should be pressurised and both inlet and outlet connections inspected.

Installation preparation

THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Warning! Turn off the electrical and water supplies before proceeding with the installation.

The electricity must be turned off at the mains and the appropriate circuit fuse electrically isolated, if applicable.

The digital valve may be installed in a loft space, under the bath or in a convenient cupboard space provided there is enough room for maintenance. Safe and easy access to the product should be available at all times.

The distance between the digital valve and the location of the controller module must be within the range of the supplied 10m data cable, taking the intended cable routing into consideration. Ideally, the digital valve should be located as close to the controller module as possible to minimise the length of pipe run between the digital valve and the shower outlet.

The length of pipework running from the digital valve to the shower outlet will have an effect on the showering temperature and the response time when changing the temperature using the controller. If possible, it is recommended that this length is kept to a minimum and does not exceed 4.5m.

When installing a digital valve in an area not regularly accessed, consideration for potential leaks must be taken into account. While such events are unlikely, it is advisable to periodically check the installation for traces of water on or around the product. If possible, site the valve in a location where any leak would be contained or routed to avoid areas sensitive to water damage.

Isolation valves are integrated into the hot and cold inlets to the digital valve. We recommend fitting an isolation valve on the outlet, close to the digital mixer valve, if there is a long horizontal run to the shower outlet.

Warning! Risk of product damage. The digital valve must be installed in a dry, ventilated area where it will not freeze.

A separate, permanently connected supply must be taken from the ring main to the appliance. The appropriate plug socket must be located in a dry area within 2m of the digital valve.

A 30 mA residual current device (RCD) should be included in the electrical circuit. This may be part of the consumer unit or a separate unit.

Pipework MUST be rigidly supported to avoid any strain on the connections.

Metal pipework MUST be earth bonded.

Long inlet pipework (dead-legs) should be kept to a minimum to avoid temperature fluctuations.

Supply pipework layout must be arranged to minimise the effect of other outlet usage upon the dynamic pressures at the digital valve inlets.

Some pipe soldering fluxes can be corrosive and could attack the working part of this unit if not flushed out effectively. To eliminate pipe debris and residual solder flux, it is essential that supply pipes are flushed thoroughly prior to connection to the digital valve in accordance with the Water Supply Regulations.

Important! All pipework must be insulated. Do not attempt to insulate or cover the digital valve.

Warning! There are no user-serviceable components beneath the cover of the appliance.

Example shown with two shower outlets.

Use of supplied flow regulators with combination boilers

Combination boilers are not always able to supply an adequate flow of hot water, particularly in winter, and

Bathroom Brands recommends fitting one of the supplied flow regulators into the hot inlet of the high-pressure digital valve prior to installation. Refer to the table below for details:

Insert the appropriate flow regulator into the HOT inlet in the orientation shown. Ensure the appropriate flow regulator is inserted into the HOT inlet only.

Typical poor installation practice

DO NOT INSTALL THE DIGITAL VALVE:

- into a system where the cold water cistern holds less than 230 litres.

- into a system where air locking could occur.

- onto shared water supplies.

- less than 100mm from the lowest level of water (low-pressure digital valve only).

- in a location where freezing could occur.

- with unsupported plastic pipework.

Digital valve installation

The digital valve can be orientated in any one of the following positions. Failure to install the digital valve in one of the allowable orientations will result in malfunction. Please note the allowable orientations are also marked on the top surface of the valve.

High-pressure, dual outlet digital valve allowable orientations

COLD HOT

Low-pressure (pumped), dual outlet digital valve allowable orientations

Connect hot and cold water inlet supplies using appropriate 15mm push fit fittings as shown on the left. Compression fittings must not be used to connect the inlets.

When installing a high-pressure digital valve, it is recommended that inlets and outlets are fed using

15mm diameter copper pipe.

When installing a low-pressure pumped digital valve it is recommended that the inlets are fed using 22mm diameter copper pipe and reduced down to 15mm diameter as close as possible to the valve inlets.

Installing a dual outlet shower digital valve

Run the outlet pipe work from the outlet marked

Shower 1 on the digital valve to the location of the outlet fitting that will be the master outlet for the system. In most cases this will be a fixed head or rain shower assembly. Run the outlet pipework marked

Shower 2 on the digital valve to the location of the outlet fitting that will be the secondary outlet for the system. In most cases this will be a shower flexi kit (handset).

Connect the outlet pipework to the outlets of the digital valve using appropriate ½" BSP threaded fittings.

Warning! When the shower is turned on, the system will default to the master outlet. For correct operation of the system, it is important that the outlets are connected as described above.

Installing a dual outlet bath/shower digital valve

Run the outlet pipework from the outlet marked

Shower to the location of the shower outlet fitting

(e.g. wall outlet or fixed head assembly). Connect the shower outlet pipework to the digital valve using an appropriate ½" BSP threaded fitting.

Run the outlet pipework from the outlet marked

Bath to the location of the bath outlet fitting.

Connect the bath outlet pipework to the digital valve using an appropriate 3/4" BSP threaded fitting

Warning! If fitting a bath/shower digital valve, it is very important that the valve outlets are connected to the relevant bath/shower outlet fittings to ensure the correct and safe operation of the system. When turned on, the system will default to the bath outlet.

Shower/bath accessories for this digital system are supplied separately. Refer to the installation instructions supplied with your chosen accessories for appropriate plumbing connections and fitting guidance.

HIGH-PRESSURE

Remove the protective cap from one end of the 10m data cable and insert into one of the data ports on the outside of the digital valve as shown. Both data ports perform the same function so either port can be used to connect the data cable.

An optional remote control module is available for this digital shower system. If fitting the optional remote, insert second 10m data cable (supplied with the remote module) into the second data port on the digital valve.

LOW-PRESSURE

Ensure the data cable/s are securely inserted and cannot be pulled out of the data port/s without twisting the release collar on data cable connector.

DIGITAL CONTROLLER & OPTIONAL REMOTE INSTALLATION

Choose a suitable location for the digital shower controller within the showering area.

Carefully remove the controller fitting template from the back page of this installation guide. Using the template, carefully mark out the fixing hole and data connection hole positions.

The distance between the digital valve and the location of the controller module must be within the range of the supplied 10m data cable, taking the intended cable routing into consideration. Ideally, the digital valve should be located as close to the controller module as possible to minimise the length of pipe run between the digital valve and the shower outlet.

Using an appropriate tile drill bit, carefully drill a 25mm tile hole for the data cable before using a spirit level on the edge of the controller to mark out

4 screw holes.

If required, there is a template on the inside back cover.

Drill the 4 holes and insert the 4 controller screw plugs provided.

19

If fitting the optional remote, choose an appropriate location and repeat the previous 4 steps. Refer to the fitting instructions for the remote for further details.

Leaving the protective cap in place, route the loose end of the 10m data cable from the digital valve to the location of the controller module, and feed connector through 25mm cut hole/s into the shower area. For ease of servicing, the data cable must be fed through a length of suitable size conduit.

If required to aid routing, feed a piece of string through the conduit and tie to the loop attached to the protective cap on the loose end of the data cable.

Carefully pull on the string to pull the data cable through the conduit and through the pre-drilled

25mm hole into the shower area.

Warning! To avoid the risk of damage, leave the protective cap on the end of the data cable until the controller is ready to be fitted.

20

Dual control module

Run a bead of mastic around the groove on the rear of the controller module.

Remove the red protective cap over the data port on the rear of the controller and the protective cap on the loose end of the 10m data cable.

Insert the loose end of the data cable into the data port on the rear of the controller module.

Ensure the data cable is securely inserted and cannot be pulled out of data port without twisting the release collar on the data cable connector.

Carefully place controller module against wall and secure with 4 supplied controller screws.

Note: It is not required to silicone the trim plate to the wall.

If fitting the optional remote, repeat the previous steps. Refer to the fitting instructions for the remote for further details.

Place the controller trim plate over the controller module and ensure the rear edge is flush to the surface of the wall. If fitting the optional remote, place the remote trim plate over the remote module and ensure the rear edge is flush to the wall.

If the system is restarted within 2 minutes of being turned off the water will flow from the outlet last used rather than default to the master outlet. This feature allows the user to pause the system during showering and restart the flow from the same outlet.

When flowing from the shower outlet the water temperature is factory-set to a maximum of 41°C.

When flowing from the bath outlet, the water temperature is factory-set to a maximum of 44°C.

However, if required, the maximum temperature for both outlets can be reset to 46°C.

Warning! If the maximum temperature is reset to

46°C this is entirely at the risk of the owner and

Bathroom Brands can accept no liability for any resulting injury.

To change the maximum temperature the system must be restarted by disconnecting and then reinstating the power to the digital valve. When the power has been reinstated, turn the temperature control dial clockwise to full hot and then press and hold the dial for 5 seconds. The upper (temperature) light ring will flash red once to indicate the maximum temperature has been changed to 46 °C.

If required, the maximum temperature can be changed back to 41°C by performing a system restart as above, turning the temperature control dial anti-clockwise to full cold and pressing and holding for 5 seconds. The light ring will flash blue once to confirm the max temperature has been changed to 41°C.

Note: Changing the maximum temperature can be performed within a maximum of 5 minutes after a system restart only.

Maintenance

General maintenance

Before replacing any parts ensure that the underlying cause of the malfunction has been resolved.

Warning! There are no installer-serviceable components beneath the cover of the digital valve or within the control module. Cover removal or access within the controller module will invalidate the warranty.

Cleaning

Many household cleaners contain abrasives and chemical substances, and should not be used. Only use a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, and then wipe dry using a soft cloth.

Valve inlet filters - removal and cleaning

Using an appropriate flat blade screwdriver, rotate the isolation valves on the hot and cold inlets to the closed position and disconnect the power to the digital valve.

Remove the inlet securing clips from both hot and cold inlets.

Detach the inlets from the digital valve.

Note: There will be some residual water present between the isolation valves and the check valves, which will drain out of the inlets during removal.
