IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Safety information
This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with all relevant current Water Supply Regulations.
ALL PRODUCTS REQUIRING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTI0N MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON FOLLOWING THE LATEST REVISION OF BS 7671
(WIRING REGULATIONS) 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 aect the flow.
The Quartz
TM
smart valve must not be used with a hot water supply temperature of over 65ºC.
The Quartz
TM
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
TM
smart valve must be installed in an accessible location for servicing and maintenance.
The Quartz
TM
smart valve must not be installed in situations where either the ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40ºC or where freezing may occur.
The Q
TM
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 smart controls in steam therapy facilities.
This appliance must be earthed.
Cables which are chased into the wall must be protected by a suitably sized conduit or sheathing to allow for removal in the event of service and maintenance purposes.
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 his accredited agent.
The Q
TM
controller is supplied from a safety low voltage source.
This product is suitable for domestic use only.
Aqualisa smart products are supplied complete with a 1 year guarantee that can be upgraded to 5 years by registering the product with Aqualisa.
This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given initial supervision or instruction concerning the use of the product by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the product.
Installation of Quartz
TM
smart valve (for gravity stored systems)
The Quartz
TM
smart valve is designed to operate up to maximum static pressure of 100kPa ((1 bar)(10 metres head)(14.5psi)). Under no circumstances must the Quartz
TM
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 Quartz
TM
smart valve (for balanced high pressure and unvented systems, combination boiler systems and separately pumped gravity
systems)
Pressures: The Quartz
TM
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.
Special notes for combination boiler systems
The appliance must have a minimum domestic hot water rating of 24kW (80,000BTU) and be of the type fitted with a fully modulating gas valve.
If in any doubt, please contact the appliance manufacturer before installation commences.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBINATION BOILERS, SEASONAL INLET TEMPERATURE CHANGE WILL AFFECT THE QUARTZ
TM
SMART
VALVE OUTLET FLOW RATE RESULTING IN VARYING SHOWER FLOW RATE AND FLOW CONTROL RANGE. INLET TEMPERATURE CHANGE MAY ALSO CAUSE THE
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY TO FLASH; THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY CHANGING THE OUTLET TEMPERATURE.
Special notes for separately pumped gravity systems, Universal pumps/divert
We recommend a twin ended pump with a MINIMUM pump rating of 1.5 bar (recommended 2.5 bar) which should be used for all separately pumped installations.
A twin ended pump is required for use with single outlet smart products, with the exception of divert models.
PLEASE NOTE: A Universal type twin ended pump (works on both positive and negitive head conditions) is required for use with divert products.
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 the anticipated demand.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A SINGLE ENDED PUMP.
Connections
This product incorporates ‘push-fit’ type connections. Tube should be cut using a rotary type cutter and lubricated using a silicone-based lubricant or petroleum jelly (Vaseline or
similar) prior to insertion into the fitting.
If plastic pipe is used, the tube insert must not increase the tube diameter or extend the cut-o length by more than 2mm.
THESE FITTINGS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL TUBE. COMPRESSION FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED.
Pipe sizing
Long pipe runs, on both inlet and outlet, will reduce the flow rate at the outlet, for gravity or gravity pumped systems 22mm pipe work should be used on inlets and reduce down
to 15mm as close to the Q
TM
smart valve as possible to reduce pressure losses and help maintain flow rate. If using 15mm pipe, copper pipe is preferred, to optimise performance
minimise the number of elbows used. If long pipe runs are unavoidable on the outlet, use copper pipe rather than plastic, particularly if a diverter is used, and minimise the number
of elbows as the pipe inserts are very restrictive.
Flushing
Some modern fluxes can be very corrosive and, if left in contact, will attack the working parts of this unit. All soldering must be completed and the pipe work thoroughly flushed
out in accordance with current Water Supply Regulations prior to connection of the product.
Declaration of Conformity
Aqualisa Products Limited declares that the Quartz
TM
smart valve, in conjunction with the diverter and smart controllers, complies with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and the RE Directive (2014/53/EU.
After installation
Familiarise the end user with the smart operation and hand them this guide. Complete and post the guarantee card or register online at www.aqualisa.co.uk
