Important information
Safety information
This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with all relevant current Water Supply Regulations.
A SHOWERS REQUIRING AN E ECTRICA CONNECTION MUST BE INSTA ED BY A QUA IFIED PERSON
FO OWING THE ATEST REVISION OF BS 7671 (WIRING REGU ATIONS) AND CERTIFIED TO CURRENT
BUI DING REGU ATIONS.
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 supervision or instruction
concerning safe use of the product, understanding the hazards involved, by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the product.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
This system should be installed so that other taps or appliances operated elsewhere within the premises do not
significantly affect the flow.
The shower must not be used with a hot water supply temperature over 65°C.
The processor is supplied factory pre-set at a maximum temperature of 45°C. The maximum temperature is fully
adjustable to suit site conditions. If adjusted, we recommend the outlet temperature is set to a MAXIMUM of
46°C.
The Digital processor must be installed in an accessible location for servicing and maintenance.
The Digital processor must not be installed in situations where either the ambient temperature is likely to exceed
40°C or where freezing may occur.
The control must not be installed in situations where the ambient temperature is likely to fall below 5°C or rise
above 40°C.
We do not recommend the use of Visage Digital in steam therapy facilities.
This appliance must be earthed.

Visage Digita diverter installation instructions Page 5
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.
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 user control is supplied from a safety low voltage source.
This product is suitable for domestic use only.
Visage Digital is supplied with a 5 year guarantee.
Insta ation of Digita Gravity Pumped processor (for gravity stored
systems)
The Visage Digital Gravity Pumped 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 processor 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.
Insta ation of Digita HP/Combi processor (for ba anced high pressure
and unvented systems, combination boi er systems and separate y
pumped gravity systems)
Pressures: The Visage Digital HP/Combi shower 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.
Specia notes for combination boi er 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.
P EASE NOTE: DUE TO PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBINATION BOI ERS, SEASONA IN ET
TEMPERATURE CHANGE WI AFFECT THE PROCESSOR OUT ET F OW RATE RESU TING IN VARYING SHOWER
F OW RATE AND F OW CONTRO RANGE. IN ET TEMPERATURE CHANGE MAY A SO CAUSE THE TEMPERATURE
ED’S TO F ASH; THIS IS NOT NECESSARI Y CHANGING THE OUT ET TEMPERATURE.

Visage Digita diverter installation instructions Page 6
Specia notes for separate y pumped gravity systems
We recommend a MINIMUM pump rating of 1.5 bar. For optimum performance a 2.5 bar pump should be used
for all separately pumped installations.
A twin ended pump is required for use with single outlet Digital products.
A universal type twin ended pump (works on both positive and negative head conditions) is required for use with
Digital Divert products.
The minimum actual capacity of the cold water storage cistern should be not less than 225 litres (80 gallons). The
capacity of the hot water cylinder must be capable of meeting the anticipated demand.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT SUITAB E FOR USE WITH A SING E 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-off length by more
than 2mm.
THESE FITTINGS ARE NOT SUITAB E FOR STAIN ESS STEE TUBE. COMPRESSION FITTINGS MUST NOT BE USED.
Pi e sizing
ong pipe runs, on both inlet and outlet, will reduce the flow rate at the shower head, 22mm pipe work should be
used on inlets and reduce down to 15mm as close to the 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.
F ushing
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.
After insta ation

Installation instructions
To ensure safe operation and installation of this product, the Digital diverter valve
MUST be installed in one of the orientations shown.
1
This product must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the
relevant Water Supply Regulations.
Fit the Digital processor and main controller following the main unit installation
instructions provided.
Prior to connecting the blended supply connections to the shower/bath
fittings, follow the procedure below to install the Digital diverter valve.
!
!
!
P EASE NOTE THE ORIENTATIONS MATCH THE PROCESSOR ORIENTATIONS
AND ARE SHOWN ON THE DIGITA DIVERTER VA VE ABE .
!
In addition to the isolation valves supplied with the Digital processor, isolation
valves are also provided for use with the Digital diverter inlet and outlets. All
pipe work should be run in 15mm pipe and all pipe work should be supported.
2
For optimum performance use copper pipe and minimise the pipe length runs
and amount of elbow fittings.
!

Visage Digita diverter installation instructions Page 8
Choose the position for your Digital diverter valve as close to the Digital
processor as possible, within range of the 2m low voltage connecting data
cable provided. ike the Digital processor, the Digital diverter valve may be
sited in the roof space above the proposed shower/bath site, in the airing
cupboard or behind a screwed bath panel if more convenient. If siting in the
roof space, ensure that freezing cannot occur and that no insulation material
is placed under or over the Digital diverter valve and processor.
3
!The Digital diverter valve inlet has been designed, to enable connection directly
inline with the HP/Combi Digital processor outlet isolation valve connection, or
off the Gravity Pumped Digital processor outlet, using the cranked elbow
connection fitting.
The distance between the Digital diverter valve and processor must be within
the 2m range of the patch lead data cable connection provided.
THE PROCESSOR MUST BE SITED IN A POSITION THAT IS SAFE Y ACCESSIB E
FOR SERVICING AND COMMISSIONING PURPOSES. WHEN FITTED IN THE
OFT SPACE, THE ROUTE TO AND THE AREA AROUND THE PROCESSOR AND
DIVERTER VA VE MUST BE BOARDED TO ENSURE A SAFE WORKING
ENVIRONMENT.
Place the Digital diverter valve onto a solid
mounting surface, adjusting the fixing feet into
suitable positions. Mark then drill and prepare
suitable fixings before securing the processor to
the mounting surface using the screws provided,
if suitable.
4
Ensuring the supply pipe work connections have been flushed through in
accordance with the main installation instructions provided, connect the
processor outlet pipe to the diverter inlet pipe.
