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 QTM shower sytems must not be used with a hot water supply
temperature of over 65ºC.
The QuartzTM 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 QUARTZTM SMART VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED IN AN
ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE.
The QuartzTM smart valve must not be installed in situations where
either the ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40ºC or where
freezing may occur.
The QTM 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 QTM controller 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
5
damage from vermin.
The power lead must only be replaced by the manufacturer or
his accredited agent.
The QTM 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
shower 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 pumped QuartzTM smart valve (for gravity
stored systems)
The pumped QuartzTM 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 pumped QuartzTM 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 QuartzTM smart valve (for balanced high
pressure and unvented systems, combination boiler
systems and separately pumped gravity systems)
Pressures: The QuartzTM smart valve system 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 QUARTZTM SMART VALVE OUTLET
FLOW RATE RESULTING IN VARYING SHOWER FLOW RATES.
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
We recommend a twin ended pump with a MINIMUM pump rating
of 1.5 bar. For optimum performance a twin ended 2.5 bar pump
should be used.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.
FOR DIVERT MODELS A UNIVERSAL TWIN ENDED PUMP
MUST BE USED.
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.
6
TO MAXIMISE FLOW RATES WE RECOMMEND USING COPPER
PIPE WITH THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF ELBOWS. THESE
FITTINGS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL TUBE.
Pipe sizing
Long pipe runs, on both inlet and outlet, will reduce the flow rate
at the shower head. If long pipe runs are unavoidable, use copper
pipe rather than plastic. If plastic pipe is used, minimise the number
of elbows as the pipe inserts are very restrictive. Consideration
should be given to using 22mm plastic or copper pipe especially if
a diverter is installed.
Flushing
Some modern fluxes can be extremely 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 QTM Controller, in
conjunction with the smart valve, complies with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the Low Voltage
Directive (2014/35/EU), the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and
the RE Directive (2014/53/EU).

. . Helpful tip...
Positioning the QTM controller
Think about the location of the QTM controller.
Choose a suitable height so all the family can easily see and use the
controller.
The QTM controller is activated by a proximity sensor on the front of the QTM
controller. This sensor detects motion from up to 0.5m, directly in front of
the device. It is therefore important that the device is positioned so that it
will detect the user approaching and moving away from the shower at 0.5m.
The position should also be taken into consideration when utilising the Water
Save mode, refer to point 72.

4Use a Ø22mm diamond dust hole saw to
cut a hole for the wall plate, (following the
manufacturers guidelines). This type of hole
saw is suitable for ceramic tiles, glass,
marble, slate and porcelain tiles. If cutting
into showering panels or marine board a
suitable Ø22mm hole saw should be used.
5Position the hole saw on the tile at your chosen
location and scribe around its edge.
Helpful tip...
For some brands of diamond dust hole saws it is
recommended to wet the saw before cutting.
)
. .
Make an initial cut into the tile at an angle
as shown in the image.

6With the hole saw now straight, break the
surface of the tile. If required, wet the tile
and continue cutting. Repeat the process if
necessary ensuring that the cutting area is
always wet.
7Ensure the surface area is clear of debris. Press wall
plate into the hole using the spirit level to align the
wall plate. Mark the 3 fixing slot positions onto
the finished surface.
8Drill holes and fit supplied plugs, (if suitable).
We recommend that a suitable 6mm drill bit is used.
9Feed data cable through hole and insert wires into
connector. As shown with spirit level above
connector.
Wire sequence, left to right:
RED (RD), BLACK (BK), BLUE (BL), WHITE (WH)
(Colour sequence is also marked on wall plate.)
10
If waiting for the for the completion of the finished surface (e.g for tiling),
ensure that a minimum of 200mm of cable is left exposed, the cable must be
free to pull through or feed back into the wall. It should not be sealed into
the wall.
Reminder! The data cable must be run in conduit to allow for servicing and
replacement if required. A minimum size of 15mm conduit is recommended.
