NOTE: For additional installation and commissioning information refer
to the Operation and Installation Manual.
WARNING
This appliance must be installed,
serviced and removed by a trained
and qualified person. During pressure testing of the consumer piping,
ensure gas valve is turned off before unit is shut off. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury to yourself or damage to the unit.

Commissioning
With all gas appliances in operation at maximum gas rate, the
flowing inlet pressure at the incoming test point on the Rinnai
water heater should read 4” W.C. - 10.5” W.C. on natural gas
and 8” W.C. - 13.5 W.C. on propane gas. If the pressure is
lower, the gas supply is inadequate and the unit will not operate
to specification. Check the gas meter regulator and pipework for
correct operation/sizing and correct as required.
Troubleshooting
Important Safety Notes
There are a number of (live) tests that are required when fault
finding this product. Extreme care should be used at all times to
avoid contact with energized components inside the water heater.
Only trained and qualified service technicians should attempt to
repair this product. Before checking for resistance readings,
disconnect the power source to the unit and isolate the item from
the circuit (unplug it).

Gas Pressure Setting
Ensure gas pressure check under Commissioning has been
completed first! The regulator is electronically controlled and
factory pre-set. Under normal circumstances it does not require
adjustment during installation. Make adjustments only if the unit is
not operating correctly and all other possible causes for incorrect
operation have been eliminated.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply.
2. Turn OFF the water supply.
3. Remove the front panel (four screws).
4. Check the gas type using the data plate on the side of the unit.
Confirm that the gas type switch is in the correct position
(SW1 in DIPSW2 is ON for natural gas, NG, and OFF for
propane gas, LPG.) Figure 1.
5. Remove the screw and attach the manometer to the burner test
point located on the gas control. Figure 2.
6. Turn on the gas supply and the power supply.
7. Flow water through the water heater at the maximum flow rate
obtainable. (At least 3 gallons per minute is recommended. If
there is not enough water flowing, the water heater could shut
off or sustain damage due to overheating.)
8. Move SW8 in DIPSW1 to ON. Figure 3.
9. Push the PC board switch A for one second. Figure 4.
10. Calibrate “Forced Low” combustion using switch A (up) and
switch B (down).
11. Move SW8 in DIPSW1 to OFF and then back to ON. Figure 6.
12. Push the PC board switch B for one second. Figure 4.
13. Calibrate “Forced High” combustion using switch A (up) and
switch B (down).
14. Move SW8 in DIPSW1 to OFF. Figure 5.
15. Close hot water taps.
16. Turn off gas supply and 120 V power supply.
17. Remove manometer and re-install screw.
18. Turn on the gas supply and 120 V power supply.
19. Operate the unit and check for gas leaks.
20. Install the front panel using four screws.

Flame Rod:
Place one lead of your meter to the flame rod and the other to ground.
With the unit running you should read between 5-150 VAC. Set your
meter to the μ amp scale and series your meter in line with the flame
rod. You should read 1 μ amp or greater for proper flame circuit. In
the event of low flame circuit remove the flame rod and check for
carbon or damage.
Heat Exchanger, Outgoing Water Temperature and
Inlet Thermistors:
Check all thermistors by inserting meter leads into each end of the
thermistor plug. Set your meter to the 20 K scale and read
resistance. Applying heat to the thermistor bulb should decrease
the resistance. Applying ice to the thermistor bulb should increase
the resistance. See below for examples of typical temperatures and
resistance readings.
Example:
Outgoing Water Thermistor:
White - White N / A See example above E6 2 - 3
Blue - Blue N / A See example above E6 4 - 5

86°F = 6.4 ~ 7.8KΩ
113°F = 3.6 ~ 4.5KΩ
N / A See example above E5 4 - 7
140°F = 2.2 ~ 2.7KΩ
221°F = 0.6 ~ 0.8KΩ
Frost Protection:
This unit has frost protection heaters mounted at different points to
protect the water heater from freezing. All of them should show a
positive resistance reading.
Amp Fuses:
This unit has one inline (10) amp glass fuse. Remove the fuse and
check continuity through it. If you have continuity through the fuse
then it is good. Otherwise the fuse is blown and must be replaced.
