FEATURES OF YOUR NEW CONTINUUM
)
)
)
)
)
The Continuum 2424WC is one of the most advanced water heaters available. It supplies
hot water continuously at the temperature preset in the unit or at the temperature set on the optional remote control. The remote control is recommended for optimum perfor­mance.
The Continuum 2424WC never runs out of hot water. While electricity, water and gas
supplies are connected, hot water is available whenever the hot tap is open.
The gas burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and goes out
when the tap is closed. Ignition is electronic, there is no pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is used. You save energy and money with the Continuum 2424WC.
The temperature of the outgoing hot water is constantly monitored by a built in sensor. If
the temperature of the outgoing water rises to more than 6 degrees above the selected temperature (shown on the optional digital remote control) the gas burner will automati­cally go out. The gas burner will re-ignite once the outgoing hot water temperature falls below the selected temperature.
Built into the microprocessor of the Continuum 2424WC is the ability to LIMIT THE
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied by the Continuum 2424WC. With­out the connection of the optional remote control, the Continuum 2424WC is preset to deliver 120 degree water.
)
) )
) )
Model 2424WC 800-621-94197
With the optional remote the water temperature is adjustable from 140°F to 180°F. The
water temperature can be preset at 108, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170 or 180 by a certi­fied Rinnai technician. If you require a temperature other than 120 or what the remote
will give you, please contact your Rinnai certified technician. Error messages are displayed on the optional remote control, simplifying service calls. The Continuum 2424WC incorporates a device to prevent the temperature from varying
when the water is off, then on again. It also incorporates a rapid response device for
fast heating. The sound (noise) level from the Continuum 2424WC is very low. The Continuum 2424WC is a very compact direct vent device. It saves valuable floor and
wall space.
SAFETY ISSUES
Always check water temperature by hand before entering a shower or bath. The temperature may have been changed.
The water temperature can not be adjusted when a hot water tap is open or when hot water is flowing through the water heater.
Do not clean Remote Control with solvents. Use a soft damp cloth.
Do not touch the cover or insert objects into the flue outlet of the Continuum 2424WC.
On cold days steam may be discharged from the flue outlet, this is normal with a high efficiency appliance and does not indicate a fault.

BASIC OPERATION
1
Adjusting Temperature
The setpoint temperature of the Con­tinuum 2424WC can only be adjusted by the user using the Remote Control. To adjust the setpoint temperature of the Continuum 2424WC, all hot water taps must be closed, and all circulating pumps turned off.
TEMPERATURE CANNO T BE ADJUSTED WHEN ANY HOT WATER TAP IS OPEN, OR WATER IS FL OWING THROUGH THE WATER HEATER.
Simply press the or button until the required temperature is dis­played on the Digital Monitor.
2
To operate the Continuum 2424WC simply turn any hot water tap on, or initiate water flow through the unit with a circulating pump. This will automatically light the burner providing hot water at the preset temperature. If the optional remote control has been installed, the green IN USE indicator will glow on the remote control.
140°F
The Remote Control will display the water heaters current setpoint temperature.
CHECK LOCAL CODES FOR THE MAXIMUM WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING ALLOWED WHEN USED IN NURSING HOMES, SCHOOLS, DAY CARE CENTERS, AND ALL OTHER PUBLIC USE APPLICATIONS.
Rinnai recommends fixing the water heater setpoint temperature at 108°F for ALL public use applications.
Model 2424WCwww.rinnaiamerica.com 10
ABOUT HOT WATER
Hot Water Is Dangerous, especially for the young and the elderly or the infirm. The Continuum 2424WC allows you to precisely control the temperature of your hot water, ensuring safe hot water temperatures.
Water Temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
Hot Water can cause first degree burns with exposure for as little as:
3 seconds at 140 °F 20 seconds at 130 °F 8 minutes at 120 °F
Test the temperature of the water with your elbow before placing a child in the bath or shower.
BURN
Do not leave a child or an infirm person in the bath unsupervised.
Scalds - First Aid
1) Remove clothing; Remove all wet clothing, quickly. Wet clothing retains the heat.
2) Apply cold water for 30 minutes; Immediately submerge the burnt area in cold
water for 30 minutes to reduce the heat in the skin, preventing deeper burning. Never use butter, oils or ointment to cover the burn. They may retain the heat.
3) Keep the scalded person warm; Place a blanket around the person.
4) Seek Medical Advice; Call your medical advice hotline and describe the scald,
follow their directions.

INSTALLER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Gas Piping Notes
1) A manual gas control valve must be placed upon the gas inlet connection to the Continuum 2424WC before it is connected to the gas line. A union can be used on the connection of the Continuum for the future servicing or disconnection of the unit.
2) Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure before connecting the Continuum 2424WC. If the Continuum 2424WC is not of the gas type that the building is sup­plied with, DO NOT connect the water heater. Contact the dealer for the proper unit to match the gas type.
3) Minimum and Maximum Gas pressures are listed below: * Minimum value is for input adjustment
Natural Gas: Minimum 7" WC Propane Gas: Minimum 10"WC
Maximum 10.5" WC Maximum 14" WC
WARNING: Conversion of this unit from natural gas to propane or propane to
natural gas CANNOT be done in the field.
4) Always use approved connectors to connect the unit to the gas line. Always purge the gas line of any debris before connection to the water heater.
5) The Continuum 2424WC must be leak tested before it is placed into operation.
6) After completion of gas pipe connections, all joints including the heater must be checked for gas-tightness by means of leak detector solution, soap and water, or an equivalent nonflammable solution, as applicable. Caution: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may cause corrosion or stress cracking, the piping must be rinsed with water after testing, unless it has been determined that the leak solution is non-corrosive.
7) The Continuum 2424WC and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system when pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2 psi.
8) The Continuum 2424WC must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing it's individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures less than 1/2 psi.
9) The Continuum 2424WC's Installation location must provide adequate Combustion and Ventilation airflow.

Water Piping Notes
1) A manual water control valve must be placed upon the water inlet connection to the Continuum 2424WC before it is connected to the water line. Unions may be used on both the hot/cold water supply lines, for the future servicing or disconnection of the unit.
2) All soldering materials and piping must be compatible with potable water.
3) Purge the water line to remove from it all debris and air. Debris will damage the Continuum 2424WC.
4) There is a wire mesh strainer on the Continuum 2424WC's inlet to discourage the introduction of debris to the unit. It will need to be cleaned periodically.
DO NOT operate unit without filter in place.
WARNING: DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the unit. This would cause the Continuum 2424WCto operate dangerously or not at all.
INSTALLER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Pressure Relief Valve
1) ANSI code calls for the addition of an approved pressure relief valve to all water heating systems.
2) The pressure relief valve must meet the following criteria: The relief valve must comply with the standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21. 22. This relief valve must be rated at 150 PSI of pressure.
3) The relief valve should be added to the hot water outlet line per manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT place any other type valve or shut off device between the relief valve and the hot water heater.
4) The discharge from the pressure relief valve should be piped to the ground or into a drain system to prevent exposure or possible burn hazards to humans or other plant or animal life. Water discharged from the relief valve could cause severe burns instantly, scalds and/or death.
5) Do not plug the relief valve and do not install any reducing fittings or other restric­tions in the relief line. The relief line should allow for complete drainage of the valve and the line.
6) Pressure relief valve must be manually operated once a year to check for correct operation.
7) Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve on the Continuum 2424WC.
