INSTALLATION OF AQUALISA SMART LINK ™ WIRED REMOTE

Digital TV Interference
Although the Aqualisa SmartValve™ complies with all relevant EMC standards, if incorrectly sited, it may interfere with digital TV reception. Please follow the recommendations below to minimize this effect.
See recommended layouts below.
Images of Aqualisa SmartValve™ for illustration only, refer to the main installation guide for orientation.

• Route cables separately, and as far apart from each other as possible.
• Aerial to point away from the Aqualisa SmartValve™.
• Ensure the distance between the Aqualisa SmartValve™  and the aerial is as large as possible.

Wiring Diagram – Single Outlet (Aqualisa Smart Link™)
Aqualisa Smart Link™ is shown for illustrative purposes.

****Cables must be run in conduit or trunking/sheathing.

Wiring Diagram – Dual Outlet (Divert) (Aqualisa Smart Link™)
Aqualisa Smart Link™ is shown for illustrative purposes.

N.B. The primary outlet is dictated by the “Switch mode” on the diverter. Refer to the Aqualisa SmartValve™ installation guide, sections: Diverter Outlet and Diverter  Controller Matrix.

1. Using the backplate as a template, mark the position of the fixing screws and a Ø20mm hole for the data cable rear entry point. Prepare suitable wall fixings to accommodate no. 8 non-rusting countersunk head screws of a suitable length (not included).

2. Prepare a suitable route and install the 10m low voltage data cable. On the AqualisaSmartValve™  or diverter side, allow sufficient length for plugging into the socket. On the wired remote side we recommend a minimum length of 70mm including the connector plug.
   **** Ensure the data cable is the correct way round as both ends differ in the type of connection used (transparent connector to the Aqualisa SmartValve™ or diverter). Data cables must be protected by suitable sheathing or conduit in the event of servicing and maintenance. Failure to install this way may invalidate the warranty. A cut-out is provided in the backplate to facilitate surface-sited cable entry if preferred.

3. Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant in the mastic groove at the rear of the mounting plate and pull the data cable through before securing the back plate to the wall using suitable no. 8 non-rusting countersunk screws.

4. Lining up the keyway, push the data cable plug into the back of the remote assembly, ensuring both rubber skirts are recessed into the connection (see diagram below),   using a blunt flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool if required. To make a watertight fitting, ensure the rubber seal is no longer visible. ****

5. Locate the remote assembly onto the backplate with the graphics in a diagonal position as illustrated. Rotate the remote clockwise so the graphics are in the horizontal position to lock the unit in place.
   **** To release the remote, insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the small opening at the 7 o’clock position to release the locking mechanism, and rotate the remote face anti-clockwise.
   Before any electrical adjustment is attempted, the electricity supply must be turned off at the mains switch. Electrical installation may only be carried out by a qualified person.

6. For single outlet models, the Aqualisa SmartValve™  features a secondary data cable socket next to the main data cable connection for use with the remote. Carefully snap and remove the entry pillar and connect the cable into the socket as shown.
   **** For dual outlet (divert) models the transparent end of the wired remote cable plugs directly into port 1 of the diverter. This is indicated by the single dot.
   Aqualisa Smart Link™ dual outlet (divert) wired remotes can only be used with dual outlet (divert) products.
   Please refer to the Aqualisa SmartValve™ Installation Guide for further information.

7. Prior to commissioning the wired remote, please refer to the installation instructions provided with the main product to complete the installation of the Aqualisa SmartValve™ and diverter (where supplied).
