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 UST 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 affect the
flow.
The Digital bath must not be used with a hot water supply temperature of over 65ºC.
The processor 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 AXI U of 46ºC.
THE DIGITAL PROCESSOR UST BE INSTALLED IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR SERVICING AND AINTENANCE.
The Digital processor must not be installed in situations where either the ambient temperature is likely to exceed 40ºC or where freezing
may occur.
The control must not be installed in situations where the ambient temperature is likely to fall below 5ºC or rise above 70ºC.
We do not recommend the use of Rise Digital 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 user control is supplied from a safety low voltage source.
This product is suitable for domestic use only.
Rise Digital is supplied complete with a 5 year guarantee.
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 Digital pumpe processor (for gravity store systems)
The Rise Digital pumped bath system is designed to operate up to 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.
Installation of Digital stan ar processor (for balance high pressure an unvente
systems, combination boiler systems an separately pumpe gravity systems)
Pressures: The Rise Digital standard bath 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 PERFOR ANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF CO BINATION BOILERS, BATH FLOW RATE AY VARY WITH CHANGES TO
THE AIN INLET TE PERATURE. INLET TE PERATURE CHANGE AY ALSO CAUSE THE DIGITAL CONTROLLER TO FLASH. THIS IS NOT
NECESSARILY CHANGING THE OUTLET TE PERATURE.
Special notes for separately pumpe gravity systems
We recommend a twin ended pump with a INI U 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 PU P.
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 SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL TUBE.

To ensure safe operation and installation of this product, the
processor UST be installed in one of the orientations shown.
1
Isolation valves are supplied with the
Digital processor and must be fitted on
both inlets and the blended water outlet.
All pipe work should be run in 15mm
pipe. All pipe work should be supported.
For externally pumped gravity fed
installations, 22mm pipe work should
be run as close to the processor as possible
before reducing down to 15mm.
2
The inlet supply centres are 48mm. The inlet supply centres
deviate from EN1111 and EN1287, but are deemed to be a
special case.
Please note arrow on isolation valve to indicate direction of flow.
Compression fittings should not be used on the inlet and outlet
spigots and may affect the warranty if fitted.

Choose the position for your Digital processor as close to the
bath control as possible.
The processor may be sited in the roof space above the proposed
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 processor. Please refer to the system layout
diagrams overleaf.

The Digital processors are supplied
factory set with the flow rate at either
‘NOR AL HP’ or ‘NOR AL GRAVITY’
mode depending on which bath
system has been ordered.

Standard processors fitted to balanced high pressure systems may
be set to ‘NOR AL HP’ or for water economy ‘ECO’ modes.
N.B. We recommend the processor is set to ‘NOR AL HP’ mode.
STANDARD PROCESSORS ON CO BINATION BOILER SYSTE S:
For Standard Digital processors installed on combi boiler systems, for
optimum performance we recommend setting the flow rate to the
‘CO BI’ mode.
16
N.B. The ‘ECO’ flow rate mode should not be selected for bath systems
fitted to combination boilers.
PU PED PROCESSORS:
Pumped processors fitted to gravity systems may be set to ‘NOR AL
GRAVITY’ or for water economy ‘ECO’ flow rate modes.
N.B. We recommend the processor is set to ‘NOR AL GRAVITY’ mode.
