ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

MODEL TYPE

Congratulations for choosing a Raypak outdoor installation depending on use of the appropriate installation kit.

The operation of the water heater depends on the application. Typically for hot water applications a water heater with ‘on/off’ operation will be installed. For mechanical heating or process applications a water heater with ‘Hi/Lo’ operation will be installed.

water heater. The model you have chosen is suitable for either indoor or

HOW HOT SHOULD THE WATER BE?

The water heater features an adjustable thermostat, which allows the most suitable temperature for the application to be chosen.

To meet the requirements of the National Plumbing Standard the temperature of the stored water for hot water applications must not be below 60°C.

HOT WATER INSTALLATIONS

The water heater will operate automatically when a call for heat occurs.

HOW DO I KNOW IF THE WATER HEATER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY?

Installation requirements are shown on page 21. The water heater must be installed by an authorised person. In Australia, the installation must comply with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000, AS 5601 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements.

DOES THE WATER QUALITY AFFECT THE WATER HEATER

The water heater is suitable for most public water supplies; however some water qualities may have detrimental

effects on the finned copper tube heat exchanger and fittings. If you are in a known harsh water area you must

read page 39. If you are not sure, have your water quality checked against the conditions described on page 39. HOW LONG WILL THE WATER HEATER LAST?

There are a number of factors that will affect the length of service the water heater will provide. These include the water quality, the water pressure, temperature (inlet and outlet) and the water usage pattern. However, your water heater is supported by a comprehensive warranty (refer to page 41).

SERVICING

For safe and efficient operation, the water heater should be serviced annually by your nearest Rheem Service Department or their Accredited Service Agent. Only genuine replacement parts should be used on this water heater. Refer to “Service Procedures

” on page 38

WARNING: Servicing of a gas water heater should only be carried out by authorised personnel.

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

The water heater consists of a gas burner, a combustion chamber lined with refractory tiles and a heat-exchanger made of finned copper tubes. Hot flue gases from the burner pass between the fins on the heat exchanger tubes and heat is transferred first to the fins and then by conduction into the water. Baffles are placed between the tubes to control the flow of the hot flue gases and ensure efficient operation of the water heater. The refractory tiles insulate the combustion chamber to minimise loss of heat and protect the surroundings from the temperature of the burner flames. The gas supply to the burner is controlled by a thermostat, which senses the temperature of the water.

Automatic safety controls are fitted to the water heater:

• to ensure safe ignition of the gas whenever there is a call for heating;

• to continuously monitor the burner flame; and

• to prevent excessive temperatures or pressures in the water system.

MAINS PRESSURE

In water heating applications, the water heater is designed to operate in conjunction with one or more hot water storage tanks, which would be connected directly to the mains water supply. If the mains supply pressure in your area exceeds the value shown in the table on page 15 or the maximum inlet pressure for the storage tanks, a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.

In mechanical and process heating applications, the system pressure must not exceed the value shown in the table on page 15.

109 MODELS On/Off Operation

109 On/Off models are fitted with a mechanical thermostat, adjustable from 0°C to 95°C that operates the gas control by switching its power on and off, so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat and the protective over temperature cut out are mounted on the control panel which is located behind the lower front cover of the water heater (refer to "Location of Controls"

There is no need to switch the water heater off when it is not in use. The thermostat is fully automatic and only allows the gas control to open when the burner requires gas for heating. To adjust the thermostat settings refer to “Temperature Control

Hi/Lo Operation

109 Hi/Lo models are fitted with a mechanical thermostat, adjustable from 45°C - 85°C that operates the gas control by switching its power from high fire to low fire and off, so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat and the protective over temperature cut out are mounted on the control panel which is located behind the lower front cover of the water heater (refer to "Location of Controls"

on page 29).

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS

147 MODELS On/Off Operation

147 On/Off models are fitted with an electronic thermostat that operates the gas control by switching its power on and off, so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat is mounted on the control panel of the water heater and the protective over temperature cut out is mounted inside the lower front cover of the water heater.

” on page 35.

The thermostat may flash “AH” (alarm high) and the current water temperature, or “AL” (alarm low) and the current water temperature. This is not a cause for concern unless the temperature displayed is more than 10ºC above the set temperature. Refer to “Diagnostic Features of Electronic Thermostat

” on page 9.

Hi/Lo Operation

147 Hi/Lo models are fitted with an electronic thermostat that operates the gas control by switching its power from high fire to low fire and off, so a constant temperature is maintained. The thermostat is mounted on the control panel of the water heater and the protective over temperature cut out is mounted inside the lower front cover of the water heater.

” on page 35.

The thermostat may flash “AL3” and 130, or “AL3” and -45. This indicates a failure of the water temperature sensor. Refer to “Diagnostic Features of Electronic Thermostat

” on page 9.

BURNER IGNITION All 109 and 147 Hi/Lo Models

The water heater utilises an automatic burner ignition system, which lights the main burner gas when the thermostat registers a need for heating.

A hot surface igniter (HSI) heats up when there is a call for heating. When the HSI probe is up to temperature, a valve opens allowing gas to the main burner and this is ignited by the HSI probe. Provided successful ignition of the main burner flame is detected, the valve remains open to supply gas to the main burner. If the main burner fails to ignite the ignition system will lock out.

147 On/Off Models

The water heater utilises an automatic burner ignition system, incorporating an automatic pilot burner, which lights the main burner gas when the thermostat registers a need for heating.

A hot surface igniter (HSI) heats up when there is a call for heating. When the HSI probe is up to temperature, a valve opens allowing gas to the pilot burner and this is ignited by the HSI probe. When successful ignition of the pilot flame is detected, the valves open to supply gas to the main burner. If the pilot fails to ignite after two attempts, the ignition system will lock out.

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault that is not related to manufacture or failure of a part.

NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER (OR NO HOT WATER)

• Is the electricity switched on?

Inspect the power outlet adjacent to the water heater and ensure the water heater is plugged in and the outlet is turned on.

• Is there a time clock on the power supply?

Check the settings on the time clock and ensure they are suitable to enable heating when it is required.

• Is the ignition system ‘locked out’?

Reset the water heater. Refer to “Water Heater Not Operating”

• Is a code displayed on the electronic thermostat?

Check the LED display on the electronic thermostat. If a code is displayed, refer to “Diagnostic Features of Electronic Thermostat”

on page 9.

• Are you using more hot water than you think?

Are outlets (especially the showers) using more hot water than you think? Very often it is not realised the amount of hot water used, particularly when showering. Carefully review the hot water usage. Have your plumber fit a flow control valve to each shower outlet to reduce water usage.

on page 9.

• Pressure relief valve running

Is the relief valve discharging too much water? (Refer to “Pressure Relief Valve Running”

on page 10).

• Thermostat setting

Ensure the thermostat setting is appropriate. You may choose to have your installer adjust the thermostat upwards to gain additional hot water capacity.

WARNING: Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.

• Water heater size

Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements? The sizing guide in the Raypak sales literature and on the Rheem website (www.rheem.com.au)

suggests average sizes that may be needed.

WATER HEATER NOT OPERATING

The ignition system may have ‘locked out’. To reset the water heater, switch the electrical supply off at the isolating switch, wait five (5) minutes then switch on again. If the water heater fails to light, phone your nearest Rheem Service Department or Accredited Service Agent to arrange for an inspection.

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES OF ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT

147 On/Off and Hi/Lo water heaters incorporate an electronic thermostat. In the event of a fault occurring, a code will be displayed on the thermostat LED to diagnose the fault.

All other fault conditions should be attended to by your nearest Rheem Service Department or Accredited Service Agent.

SAVE A SERVICE CALL

BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT

• Is there gas to the water heater?

Check the gas isolation valve on the gas supply line is open.

• Is there a normal gas supply to the rest of the premises?

Try lighting another gas appliance. If there is no gas call your gas provider.

• Is the ignition system ‘locked out’?

Try resetting the water heater. Refer to “Water Heater Not Operating

” on page 9.

• Is the High Limit tripped:

The manual reset over temperature switch will shut down the water heater in the event of a fault with the temperature control or water flow. When the system water temperature has cooled sufficiently, the red button can be pressed, this will restart the water heater. Should frequent resetting be necessary, call your nearest Rheem Service Department or Accredited Service Agent.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RUNNING

• Normal Operation

It is normal and desirable that this valve allows a small quantity of water to escape during the heating cycle. However, if the discharge is deemed excessive (more than 2% of hot water used), there may be another problem.

• Continuous dribble

Try gently raising the easing lever on the relief valve for a few seconds (refer to “Pressure Relief Valve page 11). This may dislodge a small particle of foreign matter and clear the fault. Release the lever gently.

” on

• Steady flows for long period (often at night)

This may indicate the mains water pressure sometimes rises above the designed pressure of the water heater. Ask your installing plumber to fit a pressure limiting valve.

WARNING: Never replace the relief valve with one of a pressure rating greater than 850 kPa.

EXPANSION CONTROL VALVE RUNNING

If an expansion control valve is fitted in the cold water line to the water heater (refer to page 19) it may discharge a small quantity of water instead of the pressure relief valve on the water heater. The benefit is that energy is conserved as the discharged water is cooler.

HIGH GAS BILLS

Should you at any time feel your gas account is too high, we suggest you check the following points:

Is the relief valve running excessively? (Refer to “Pressure Relief Valve Running” on page 10).

Are outlets (especially the showers) using more hot water than you think? (Refer to “Not Enough Hot Water”

on page 9).

Is there a leaking hot water pipe, dripping hot water tap, etc? Even a small leak will waste a surprising quantity of hot water and gas. Replace faulty tap washers, and have your plumber rectify any leaking pipe work.

Consider recent changes to your hot water usage pattern and check if there has been any increase in tariffs since your previous account.

Is there excessive heat loss from the building? Check that there are no large uncovered windows, ceiling insulation is installed and there are no excessive draughts.

IF YOU HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FOREGOING AND STILL BELIEVE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE, PHONE YOUR NEAREST RHEEM SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR ACCREDITED SERVICE AGENT

REGULAR CARE

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

This valve is located in the in/out header of the water heater and is essential for its safe operation. It is possible for the valve to release a little water through the drain line during each heating period. This occurs as the water is heated and expands by approximately 1/50 of its volume.

Continuous leakage of water from the valve and its drain line may indicate a problem with the water heater (refer to “Pressure Relief Valve Running

WARNING: Never block the outlet of this valve or its drain line for any reason.

Operate the easing lever on the pressure relief valve once every six months. It is very important you raise and

lower the lever gently.

WARNING: Failure to do this may result in the water heater heat exchanger failing.

If water does not flow freely from the drain line when the lever is lifted, then the water heater should be checked by your installing plumber, or phone your nearest Rheem Service Department or Accredited Service Agent.

The pressure relief valve should be checked for performance or replaced at intervals not exceeding 5 years, or more frequently in areas where there is a high incidence of water deposits (refer to “Water Supplies

EXPANSION CONTROL VALVE

” on page 10).

” on page 39).

In many areas, including South Australia, Western Australia and scaling water areas, an expansion control valve is fitted to the cold water line to the water heating system. The expansion control valve may discharge a small quantity of water from its drain line during the heating period instead of the pressure relief valve on the water heater.

Operate the easing lever on the expansion control valve once every six months. It is very important you raise and lower the lever gently. The expansion control valve should be checked for performance or replaced at

intervals not exceeding 5 years, or more frequently in areas where there is a high incidence of water deposits.

STORAGE TANKS (If fitted)

Refer to the owners guide and installation instructions supplied with the storage tank for details on regular care required.

SERVICE

For efficient operation the water heater should be serviced annually by your nearest Rheem Service Department or Accredited Service Agent. Only genuine replacement parts should be used on this water heater.
