How to install an Aqualisa Q™ Concealed Smart Shower controller

Transcript

In this video I'll be showing you how to install an Aqualisa Q™ concealed controller. When installing the concealed smart-shower system the pipework and data cables should be installed prior to tiling. Concealed cables must be protected by a suitably sized conduit to allow for removal in the event of service or maintenance. Think about the location of the Q™ controller. Choose a suitable height so all the family can easily see and use the controller.

The Q™ controller is activated by a proximity sensor on the front of the controller. The sensor detects motion from 0.5 to 0.7 meters directly in front of the device. It is important the device is positioned so that it will detect the user approaching and moving away from the shower. Insert the data cable wires following the colour sequence marked on the wall plate.

Ensure the surface area is clear of debris, press the wall plate into the hole using the built-in spirit level, mark the three fixing slot positions onto the finished surface, Drill holes and fit supplied plugs we recommend using a six-millimetre drill bit. Remove the paper liner on the gasket apply a silicon adhesive into the channel of the wall plate and push onto the wall. Fix the back plate to the wall with supplied screws. Your Q™ smart controller is supplied with a colour accent ring that can be fitted by lining up the grooves and pushing into position.

Position the Q™ controller into the wall plate with the power symbol at the seven o'clock position. Gently apply pressure to the screen with one hand, rotate the controller anti-clockwise using the Q™ leaver until it stops and is securely seated on the wall plate.
