FEATURES OF YOUR NEW CONTINUUM
The
Integrity V2532FFUC is one of the most advanced water heaters available. It produces
hot water continuously at the temperature preset in the unit or at the temperature set on the
remote temperature controller. Installation of the remote temperature controller is
recommended for optimum performance.
The
Integrity V2532FFUC never runs out of hot water. While electricity, water and gas
supplies are connected, the
water flow rate through the unit exceeds 0.6 gpm and the temperature rise through the
unit exceeds 45°F.
Integrity V2532FFUC will produce hot water whenever the

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 Integrity V2532FFUC.
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.
With the MCC-45-4US remote control installed the water temperature is adjustable from 96
to 180°F. The water temperature cannot be set to a temperature other than 140°Fwithout the use of the MCC-45-4US remote control unit. If you require a temperature
other than 140°F you must install the MCC-45-4US remote control unit.
Error messages are displayed on the remote control units, simplifying service calls.
The
Integrity V2532FFUC incorporates a device to limit the temperature fluctuations (cold
water sandwich effect) when the water is rapidly turned off, then on again. To eliminate the
cold water sandwich effect completely, the

SAFETY ISSUES
Always check water temperature by hand
before entering the shower or bath. The
temperature may have been changed.
The Integrity V2532C controls the water
temperature automatically. To do this it
sometimes needs to change the water flow
accordingly. The water flow from the hot water
tap may vary after the selected temperature at
the Remote Control is altered. The water flow
may also vary from summer to winter, as
incoming water temperatures differ.
Depending on the weather conditions and the
length of the pipe between the Integrity
V2532C and the tap in use, there may be a
variation between the temperatures displayed
at the Remote Control and the temperature of
the water at the tap.

138°F
Do not clean Remote Controls with solvents.
Use a soft damp cloth.
The water temperature can only be adjusted
between 96°F and 110°F when the hot water
tap is open, and hot water is flowing.
The vent/air intake should be positioned away
from flammable materials, trees, shrubs, etc.
Vent Terminal
Do not connect vent to natural draft vents or
fireplaces, this unit can only be used with an
approved Rinnai/Ubbink vent kit and
components. Do not vent unit into other
rooms. Vent terminal must be outside.

water at the preset temperature. If the remote
control has been installed, the green IN USE
indicator will glow on the remote control.
140°F
Note: The Rinnai water heater will not provide
hot water instantly at the hot water fixtures.
Any cold water existing in the hot water lines
must be purged first.
The Remote Control will display the water heaters
current setpoint temperature. There is a hot water scald
potential if the thermostat is set to high.
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.

ABOUT HOT WATER
Hot Water Is Dangerous, especially for the young and the elderly or the
infirm. The Integrity V2532C 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,

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND COMMON QUESTIONS
- When I was using the hot water, the water got cold!
Q
- If you adjusted the flow from the tap to lessen it, you may have gone
A
below the minimum flow required. The Integrity V2532 requires 0.5
GPM to operate. 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 flow below 0.5 GPM. Decrease the temperature supplied
by the Integrity V2532 at the remote control or increase your total
flow.
- White smoke comes out of the exhaust!
Q
- During colder weather when the exhaust temperature is hotter than the
A
air, the exhaust 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 Integrity
A
V2532 to the faucet. This can take up to 2 or more minutes depending
upon your plumbing system. If hot water is disired instantly at the hot
water fixture, a circulaton loop system must be installed. Please
contact your plumber for details.
- After I turn off the hot water tap, the fan on the Integrity V2532
Q
continues to run!
- The fan is designed to be on for 65 seconds after the flow of water
A
stops.This is to ensure constant water temperatures during rapid
starting and stopping, as well as exhausting any residual gas flue
products from the unit.

Locating the vent terminal
RECOMMENDED VENT/AIR INTAKE TERMINAL POSITION
Terminals should be so positioned as to avoid
products of combustion entering openings into
buildings or other flues or vents.
The maximum allowable “Equivalent Length (D)” of vent pipe for the V2532C water heater
is 41 feet with 3 bends (as determined using the formula below). If “D” is greater than
41, the vent/air intake piping is too long or there are too many elbows, redesign the vent
pipe run.
D = L + (B
x 6) + (B
90
x 1.5)D = Total Equivalent Length of vent system.
45
L= Length of vent/air intake in feet.
B90= Number of 90° elbows.
B45= Number of 45° elbows.
To help prevent condensation in the vent/air intake piping, the combustion fan has two dip
switch settings. Dip switch number 1 is shipped from the factory set to the “OFF” position; this
is suitable for the maximum vent/air intake length.
Depending upon the vent/air intake length, Dip switch No. 1 may need to be adjusted to
compensate fan speed. Read the following instructions, to determine which position this switch
should be placed in.
When the Equivalent Length of vent pipe, D, is more than 22 feet, leave dip switch
number 1 in the “OFF” position.
When the Equivalent Length of vent pipe, D, is 22 feet or less, dip switch number 1 must
be moved to the “ON” position.
Dip switch # 1 is located in the top row of dip switches, 1 through 8 on the PC board. See the
diagram below to identify the proper switch. If you do not understand the following information,
contact Rinnai at 1-(800)621-9419 for assistance.
Do not alter dip switch number 1 before using formula, to determine the proper setting.
Example #1:
You have 6 feet of vent pipe, and two 90° elbows.
D = 6 + (2 x 6) + (0 x 1.5)
D = 18 Dip switch number 1 should be “ON”

* Minimum value is for input adjustment
WARNING:Conversion of this unit from natural gas to propane or propane to
natural gas CANNOT be done in the field.
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 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.
5) The Integrity V2532C must be leak tested before it is placed into operation.
6) The Integrity V2532C 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.
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 Integrity V2532C must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing

Water Piping Notes
1) A manual water control valve must be placed upon the water inlet connection to the Integrity
V2532C 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 Integrity V2532C .
4) There is a wire mesh strainer on the Integrity V2532C'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 Integrity V2532C to operate dangerously or not at all.
INSTALLERS 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 and/or
the standard CAN1-4.4 Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and VacuumRelief Valves. 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) 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.
8) Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas
valve on the Integrity V2532C.
