INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Rinnai Cooling system. For you to achieve the performance and efciency expected from your new cooler, please ensure the installer is a qualied trades person, that the installer has

commissioned the unit before you commence operating, and you take the time to read the contents of this manual�

In some Australian States it is mandatory that your cooler installation is issued with a certicate of compliance

to guarantee the installation workmanship� Please check with your installer or the local plumbing authority or association� The Rinnai cooler is covered by the product warranty as outlined in this manual�

HOW DOES YOUR EVAPORATIVE COOLING WORK?

The amount of cooling available from any type of cooling system is dependent on the outside weather conditions� Your evaporative cooler works best on hot, dry days� It is essential to provide the required amount of ventilation (for your evaporative cooling system to function properly) by opening windows/doors whenever the cooler is operating�

Air is drawn in through the lter pads resulting in 100% fresh cool air entering the home. The movement of this

cooled air through your home will draw the heat out of the house, so be sure that doors or windows are open to expel this heat to outside�

Whenever possible start the cooler early to prevent the build up of heat within the house, and on sultry or humid days your cooler may work better with the fan ONLY running and the pump turned OFF� Stale air, cigarette smoke and fumes can be quickly cleared and replaced with fresh air by turning the fan to manual mode�

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR EVAPORATIVE COOLER

Make sure enough window and/or door area is open for the unit to work correctly� The following table gives a guide to the amount of open area required for each model in m2, and also gives suggestions on how to provide this�

Average ventilation area provided by various openings when fully opened�

NOTE

You can also choose to have these openings only halfway open, however note that the opening will only provide half the amount of ventilation shown above and additional ventilation openings would be required.

To cool your whole house, you need windows and / or doors open throughout the house�

If you wish to concentrate your cooling to a select area, simply concentrate all the required ventilation in the targeted area (see the following diagram on page 5)�

NOTE

On hot, windy days, ensure that the windows and /or doors open for ventilation are on the sheltered side of the house.

THE AIR SMELLS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, WHY?

New Cooling pads can give off a mild odour while they are settling in� This is quite normal, it will dissipate quickly

as the new pad is constantly ushed during use.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CORD

If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Rinnai, an authorised service agent or similar

qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

START UP

When the cooling is rst turned ON, there will normally be a delay before the cool air is delivered from the duct outlets. The delay time allows water to ll the Cooler’s tank and/or Pre-wet the lter pads.

The entire process can take up to 4 minutes before cool air is expected from the duct outlets�

SHUT DOWN

There is a delay of up to 6 minutes after the system is turned off, during which time the Rinnai I Series Cooler performs a self clean and dry function�

All water will be drained from the unit 45 minutes after the unit has been turned off�

ON HUMID DAYS

On days of high humidity your evaporative cooler works best with the fan on high and perhaps the pump switch turned off�

If moisture is building up on tiled or hard surface areas, ensure that airow from the outlets is directed across the ceiling rather than down towards the oor. Also ensure that you have enough windows and/or doors open.

CEILING EXHAUST VENT(S)

(Security Relief Vents)

Ceiling exhaust vents (security relief vents) are not recommended as recirculating air will impair performance of the cooler�

ABOUT YOUR RINNAI PROGRAMMABLE WALL CONTROLLER

The Rinnai I series Programmable Wall Controller gives the choice of either Automatic or Manual operational modes with the additional option of using ON or OFF delay timers�

1� Power Indicator

The Blue Power Indicator LED Indicates the cooler system is ON or OFF�

2� ON/OFF Button

This button turns the Cooler ON or OFF�

3� MODE Button

Selects cooling modes: AUTO COOL, MANUAL, FAN ONLY�

4� TIMER Button

This button is used to set/change On and OFF timers�

5� UP Button

This button is used to increase settings�

6� DOWN Button

7� Digital Display (LCD screen)

Provides visual indication of MODE, Comfort & fan settings�

AUTOMATIC PRE-WET

When the Cooler is turned ON, with both the fan and the pump in either Auto or Manual mode, the Cooler will start a Pre-Wet automatically� The Pre-Wet stage ensures the pads are thoroughly wet before the fan starts� This prevents warm air being initially blown into your home and contributes to the effective operation and performance of the Cooler� The Pre-Wet time will vary depending on how long the Cooler has been OFF, and whether it needs

to ll the tank prior to operation.

OPERATING MODES

The cooler has several operating modes, which are as follows:

NOTE

The wall control will remember previously selected settings in Auto and Manual Modes.

AUTO COOL Operation Mode

In AUTO COOL mode the Programmable Wall Control automatically operates the cooler (fan speed and pump) to maintain the selected ‘comfort level’� The cooler may even turn OFF if the conditions meet the comfort level setting�

Begin by pressing the ON/OFF button (2) to turn the Cooler on. If “AUTO COOL” is displayed, the system is set

for automatic operation, otherwise:

1� Press the MODE button (3) to cycle through the Cooler’s operating modes, until “AUTO COOL” is displayed

in the Digital Display (7)�

2� Press the UP (5) and DOWN (6) buttons to select the comfort level you require� The longer the column shown

in the Digital Display (7) the cooler the setting; the shorter the column, the warmer the setting�

Benets of using Rinnai coolers in AUTO COOL mode in preference to Manual mode

•

Power and water consumption varies in relation to the chosen comfort level� This comfort level cannot be as easily maintained in Manual mode�

•

In AUTO COOL mode the unit operates only when it is required�

•

Enables a set comfort level to be maintained automatically as the outside / inside temperature conditions change�

•

It allows you to pre-set the cooler to turn ON early and not let the house build up heat�

•

The outlet airow noise is kept to a minimum, as the fan speed is only as fast as required to maintain the set comfort level. This slower speed also results in more efcient saturation of the Cooler lter pads, and a cooler

outlet air temperature�

MANUAL Operation Mode

Manual operation enables you to control the fan, its speed, the pump is always on�

Begin by pressing the ON/OFF button (2) to turn the Cooler on. If “MANUAL” is displayed, the system is set for

manual operation, otherwise:

1� Press the MODE button (3) to cycle through the Cooler’s operating modes, until “MANUAL” is displayed in

the Digital Display (7)�

2� Press the UP (5) and DOWN (6) buttons to select the fan speed level you require� The longer the column

shown in the Digital Display (7) the faster the fan speed, the shorter the column, the slower the fan speed�

FAN ONLY Operation Mode

Fan only operation allows you to manually operate fan speed only�

1� Begin by pressing the ON/OFF button (2) to turn the Cooler on�

2� Press the MODE button (3) to cycle through the Cooler’s operating modes, until “FAN ONLY” is displayed in

the Digital Display (7)�

3� Press the UP (5) and DOWN (6) buttons to select the fan speed level you require� The longer the column

shown in the Digital Display (7) the faster the fan speed, the shorter the column, the slower the fan speed�

USING THE TIMER

When the Cooler is operating, you can pre-set a time for the Timer to turn the Cooler OFF� Also, when the Cooler is turned OFF, you can select a time for the Timer to turn it ON automatically� So if you are out for the day you can set the Cooler to come on and cool the house before you return� The timer is set in 1-hour increments, ranging from 1 to 17 hours�

CAUTION

If the pump is going to be used, adequate ventilation (openings) need to be provided to prevent condensation build up.

ZONED SYSTEMS

An option for the I Series cooler system is to divide the home into different zones, up to a maximum of four, e.g. sleeping and living zones, allowing the living zone(s) to be OFF at night time while the sleeping zone(s) is ON.

Zoning can be achieved using multiple wall controls, with each wall control assigned to their own independent zone. The number of zones installed will equal the number of wall controls and each zone can be in either “MANUAL” mode, “AUTO COOL” mode, or “OFF”. To operate any zone in ”FAN ONLY” mode all the other wall controls must be in either “FAN ONLY” mode or “OFF”.

Changing the mode or to turn the zone OFF can be achieved at the respective wall control.

BATTERIES

The Rinnai Programmable Wall Controller requires no batteries� If the digital display on the wall controller is blank, check your 240 volt power supply (at the Cooler) or check the thermostat cable�

Q. How often should the cooler be serviced?

A. Rinnai recommend the cooler is serviced every 2 years at a minimum to ensure it operates at peak efciency.

IMPORTANT

Please Note: Due to environmental conditions the cooler may need to be serviced every year.

Q. What is done in a service?

A. Our comprehensive service plan designed to maintain your cooler includes�

•

Check lter pad material for holes or deterioration. The pads will deteriorate over time and lose their water

absorption ability� Replace pads as required�

•

Clean the tank and internal surfaces�

•

Clean the lter pads and ush water.

•

With the lter pads in position, switch ON the power supply isolating switch and operate the unit.

•

Ensure the pump is operating, and visually check the pads for even water distribution�

•

Ensure the water inlet is operating correctly�

•

Ensure the water system is operating to the minimum and maximum water levels�

•

Check the fan operates, and varies speed between the minimum and maximum setting on the Wall Control�

•

Check and lubricate all moving parts�

•

Clean Module Inlet Mesh and Roof-cap Mesh if installed�

IMPORTANT

Please note that to maintain your warranty, the above servicing needs to be conducted by an authorised person trained in the service of Rinnai Coolers.

Q. Why does the unit dump water periodically during operation?

A. Rinnai I Series coolers use the “Running Refresh” method for tank water quality control. This “Running

Refresh” ensures that the salt or sediments accumulating in the cooler do not exceed an acceptable level by periodically ushing the tank while the cooler is operating.

Q. The air smells a little different� Why?

A. New Cooling pads can give off a mild odour while they are settling in� This is quite normal, it will dissipate

quickly as the new pad is constantly ushed during use. It may also be indicating that the unit requires a

service�

Q. How much water does my evaporative cooler use?

A. The amount of water an evaporative cooler uses is dependant on the evaporation rate of the coolers pads�

The more water the cooler can evaporate for a given condition and airow, the more cooling potential the

cooler has�

The evaporation rate varies depending on the current weather conditions, the size of the cooler, the speed of the coolers fan or the velocity of the air through the pads, and the condition and type of the lter pad material.

In addition to the cooler evaporating water, water is also displaced to maintain the water quality within the cooler so that the coolers pads and other components do not deteriorate prematurely�

Q. How much water does the tank of my cooler hold?

FAQ

Page 12

Rinnai 12 I Series Evap AC OM

Q. Can I run the system when I am not home?

A. Evaporative cooling relies on doors and/or windows being open so you can run it when you are not home,

provided you have the required ventilation openings�

Q. How many doors and windows should I have open?

A. Refer to the section on openings required� The table gives a guide to the amount of opening area required for

each model in m2, and also gives suggestions on how to provide this�

Q. Why is there condensation and moisture on my tiles?

A. Make sure the vents are directed across the room and not towards the oor. Make sure sufcient doors and

windows are open. Refer to the section on openings required. If it is a humid day operate the system in “FAN ONLY” mode.

Q. There is no air coming out of some of the vents�

A. It is highly probable that this is an installation issue. Please contact your installer in the rst instance.

Q. Can I run heating through the same ductwork as my evaporative cooler?

A. No, the differing technology between ducted heating and evaporative cooling doesn’t allow the units to share

the same ductwork. Also, evaporative cooling requires larger ductwork for airow.

Q. How far should my cooler be away from sanitary vents?

A. The unit should be at least a 5 metre radius away from a sanitary outlet�

Q. How cool is cool?

A. The degree of cooling available from any type of air conditioning, is dependent on the outside weather

conditions� Your Evaporative Cooler works best on hot, dry days� After all, that’s when you require the most relief�

Q. Should the unit have its own circuit in the meter box?

A. Yes, we recommend the power socket is wired back to the meter box on a dedicated power circuit�

Q. Should water be coming out of my evaporative cooler during operation?

A. Rinnai I Series cooler will complete a ush service once every eight hours of operation maximum. This means

you may hear and/or see the unit discharge water from the primary drain pipe�

Q. There is water coming out of the secondary drain?

A. There is a secondary drain (Ø40 mm) which is terminated to provide you with clear visibility of water

discharging� If you see water discharging from this drain call Rinnai�

Q. I have turned the unit off and it continues to run for a short period?

A. This is normal operation; the water is turned off and a dry cycle is commenced on shut down�

Q. What will happen to the unit if it loses power during operation?

A. The unit will stop working and when power returns water will discharge and the wall control will remain in the
