The Rinnai Water Heater 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 controller(s). Installation of remote controller(s) are recommended for optimum performance.
The Rinnai Water Heater never runs out of hot water. While electricity, water and gas
?
supplies are connected, the Rinnai Water Heater produces hot water 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 Rinnai Water Heater.
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 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 Rinnai Water Heater is the ability to LIMIT THE
?
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied by the Rinnai Water Heaters. Without the connection of a remote controller(s), the Rinnai Water Heater is preset to deliver water at 120OF (Residential) and 140OF (Commercial).
Residential Unit: With the remote controller(s) the water temperature is adjustable from
?
98 to 140OF. The water temperature cannot be set to a temperature other than 120OF without the use of a remote controller unit.

Temperature controllers allows precise temperature control by the user. When used correctly,
the hot water unit will deliver the selected temperature, even when the water ow is varied,
or more than one tap is in use. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed, however the water heater unit can only deliver one set temperature at any time. The available temperatures (OF) are as follows:
Temperature Table by Models
Suggested temperatures are:
Kitchen 120OF, Shower 98OF - 110OF, Bath ll 102OF - 114OF
These temperatures are suggestions only. You may nd higher or lower temperatures more comfort­able. Maintaining lower temperatures helps save energy. To obtain water temperatures lower than 98OF, simply add cold water.
Deluxe Controllers are an optional extra. ‘Controller’ and ‘Deluxe’ Controllers can be installed togeth­er. Controllers allow temperature selection only. ‘Deluxe’ Controllers have temperature selection, bath
ll and clock functions.
Controllers allow the water temperature to be set from the various locations where they are installed. The temperature selected will be available to all outlets. Below are the combination of Controllers that are offered by Rinnai:

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND COMMON QUESTIONS
- I don't have any hot water when I open the tap!
Q
- Make sure there is gas, water and electricity to the Rinnai Water Heater
A
(the power is turned on and the gas is turned on)
- When I was using the hot water, the water got cold!
Q
- If you adjusted the ow from the tap to lessen it, you may have gone below the minimum
A
ow required. The Rinnai Water Heater requires a minimum ow rate to operate (see specication page for ow rate of your unit). If you mix the water with a tap and attempt
to get a temperature well below the temperature being controlled by the unit, it may drop
the ow below the desired minimum ow rate. Decrease the temperature supplied by the Rinnai Water Heater at the remote control or increase your total ow.
- White smoke comes out of the exhaust!
Q
- During colder weather when the exhaust temperature is hotter than the air, the exhaust
A
fumes condense producing white steam.
- When I open a hot tap. I do not immediately get hot water!
Q
- Hot water must travel through your plumbing from the Rinnai Water Heater to the faucet.
A
The time period for hot water to reach your xture is determined by the amount of water in your plumbing system between your water heater and the xture, water pressure, ow rate of xture in use, etc.
- After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the Rinnai Water Heaters continues to run!
Q
- The fan is designed to be on for 65 seconds after the ow of water stops.This is to ensure
A
constant water temperatures during rapid starting and stopping, as well as exhausting any
residual gas ue products from the unit.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is
equipped with a direct ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
B. BEFORE OPERATING: Smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next
to the oor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch, do not
use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the re department.
C. Use only your hand to operate remote control
keypad. Never use tools. If the remote keypad doesn’t work, do not try to repair
it, call a qualied service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a re or
explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a
qualied service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

Determine the number of elbows in the vent system. The corresponding number from the table indicates the maximum length of vent pipe. For high altitude installations contact Rinnai at 1-800-621-9419.
Table 1 Maximum Vent Length (feet)
If it is necessary to adjust the dip switch, ensure that no other dip switches are changed. Unauthorized adjustments can cause property damage, personal injury, scalding, or death.
Intake/Exhaust Guidelines
This water heater is a direct vent water heater and therefore is certified and listed with the
vent system. The only vent/air intake system listed for use with this appliance is the Rinnai / Ubbink vent system or the Heat-Fab Saf-T Vent SC system.
Minimum wall thickness is 4”. Maximum wall thickness is 20”.
Do not combine vent components from different manufacturers.
The vent system must vent directly to the outside of the building and use outside air for
combustion.
Before installation, inspect each vent component for damage and correct seal placement. Do
not attempt to fix or install any damaged vent components.
Every vent connection must be accessible for inspection, cleaning, and replacement.
Avoid dips or sags in horizontal vent runs by installing supports per the vent manufacturers’
instructions.
Support horizontal air intake runs every four feet and all vertical air intake runs every six
feet or in accordance with local codes.
Venting should be as direct as possible with a minimum number of pipe fittings.
Vent diameter must not be reduced.
Do not connect the venting system with an existing vent or chimney.
Do not common vent with the vent pipe of any other water heater or appliance.
Vent connections must be firmly pressed together so that the gaskets form an air tight seal.
Refer to the vent pipe manufacturers’ instructions for component assembly instructions.
The first vent component to the appliance must be an appliance adapter. This will prevent
additional components from being installed backwards.

Freeze Protection
If the Rinnai water heater is disconnected from either the electrical supply or gas supply, or if there is an error that prevents the water heater from functioning normally, there is NO FREEZE PROTECTION. Freeze protection of the water heater is only possible when electricity, gas supply and normal water heater functions are enabled. If you expect freezing conditions while either electricity or gas supply is interrupted, water must be completely drained from water heater.
This water heater and venting system is designed to withstand temperatures to as low as -30OF, so long as electricity and gas are supplied to the product and normal water heater functions are enabled. If either gas or electricity is interrupted NO FREEZE PROTECTION is available.
The installation of auto drain down solenoid valves is optional. However, Rinnai strongly recommends that these valves be installed to prevent damage from freezing in case the normal freeze protection should become disabled. If the valves are not installed then any product damage due to freezing will not be covered by the warranty.
NOTE: Rinnai is continually updating and improving products, therefore, specications are subject
to change without prior notice. Local, state, provincial and federal codes must be adhered to prior to installation.
Climate conditions can dictate special applications. Please refer to local codes before installing product.

Gas Piping Notes
1) A manual gas control valve must be placed upon the gas supply line to the Rinnai Water Heater. A union can be used on the connection above the shut off valve for the future servicing or disconnection of the unit.
2) Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure before connecting the Rinnai Water Heater if the Rinnai Water Heater 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 6" WC Propane Gas: Minimum 10"WC Maximum 10.5" WC Maximum 13.5" WC
Conversion of this unit from natural gas to propane or propane to natural gas
CANNOT be done in the eld.
4) 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
nonammable solution, as applicable.
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.
5) The Rinnai Water Heater must be leak tested before it is placed into operation.
6) The Rinnai Water Heater 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 greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
7) 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.
8) The Rinnai Water Heater 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 equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
9) The Rinnai Water Heater Installation location must provide adequate Combustion and
Ventilation airow.

Water Piping Notes
1) A manual water control valve must be placed upon the water inlet connection to the Rinnai Water Heater 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 Rinnai Water Heaters.
4) There is a wire mesh strainer on the Rinnai Water Heater’s inlet to discourage the introduction of debris to the unit. It will need to be cleaned periodically. DO NOT operate
unit without lter in place. Clean this lter before leaving the job site.
DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the unit. This would cause the Rinnai Water Heater to operate dangerously or not at all.
IN S TA L L ER ’ S I NS TA L L AT I ON I N S TR U C T I ON S
Pressure Relief Valve
1) ANSI code calls for the addition of an approved pressure relief valve to all water heating systems.
The pressure relief valve must meet the following criteria: The relief valve must comply with the
2) standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21. 22 and/or the standard CAN1-4.4 Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves. This relief valve must be rated up to 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 ttings or other restrictions in the relief
line. The relief line should allow for complete drainage of the valve and the line.
6) If a relief valve discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
7) Pressure relief valve must be manually operated once a year to check for correct operation.
Caution: See Item 4 before manually operating relief valve.
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve on

Remote Controllers- General
The remote controls for the Rinnai Water Heater allow the customer to control the functions of the water heater and to diagnose certain fault conditions.
Before installing the remote controllers, determine the most convenient location(s). When deciding on the best location for the remote controllers, consider the following items:
1) Place the controllers out of reach of small children.
2) Avoid locations where the controller(s) will become hot (over the stove, near the oven or a radiant heater).
3) Avoid direct sunlight (The digital display can be difcult to read in direct
sunlight).
4) Avoid areas where the remote controller can be splashed with water, oil, sauce, etc.
5) The remote controller cables carry low voltage, 12VDC digital.
NOTE: Controllers have to be wired in Parallel. Each Controller can share the same feeder circuit wire.
Controllers cannot be wired in series.
When the Temperature Controller is used in public applications, it should be installed where it can not be adjusted by the public (i.e. a
maintenance room or manager’s ofce).
NOTE: The Temperature Controller(s) have default temperature settings for the Rinnai Water Models. See Controllers Set Pattern page for details.

Testing
1) Turn on the gas and water.
2) Check for water and gas leaks. Use soapy water to test for gas leaks.
3) Remove pressure test point screw, attach pressure gauge to test point.
4) Turn Power on.
5) Open any hot water tap fully.
6) Check test point or supply pressure in water columns per inch.
NOTE: The pressure may be low due to too little ow, too high an incoming temperature,
and/or undersized gas piping. Examine these areas before determining that the pressure needs to be adjusted. Contact Rinnai before adjusting manifold pressures at 1-800-621-9419. Failure to contact Rinnai, could void unit’s warranty.
7)
If it is determined that the gas pressure needs adjusting, rst check the incoming
pressure at the test point on the gas inlet. If it is correct follow the adjusting procedure contained in the pouch of the unit EXACTLY.
The regulator is pre-set at the factory, it should not need resetting.
8) Turn the hot water off. Turn the power off. Remove the pressure guage and replace the test point screw. Check for a gas leak around the test point screw.
9) Replace the front cover.
10) Turn the power back on.
11) Check the operation of the unit. Check the operation of each of the remote controller(s). Check the operation of the Power failure protection system.
12) Explain the proper operation of the Rinnai Water Heaters to the customer.
