Diagnostic Use of the Controller
1. To display the most recent diagnostic codes press and hold the
“On/Off” button for 2 seconds on the MC-91 controller.
To Change the Temperature Scale (ºF / ºC)
With the water heater turned off, press and hold the ON/OFF
button until the display changes to the other temperature scale
(about 5 seconds).
To Turn Off the Controller Sound (Mute)
To turn the sound off (mute), press and hold both the ▲ and ▼
thermostat buttons until a “beep” is heard (about 5 seconds).
NOTE: For additional installation and commissioning information refer
to the Operation and Installation Manual.
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 5” 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
correct operation/sizing and correct as required.
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.

to specification. Check the gas meter regulator and pipework for
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
(switch 1 of Dip SW2 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 switch 8 of Dip SW1 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 switch 8 of Dip SW1 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 switch 8 of Dip SW1 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 allen head plug.
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.
The MC-91-2 controller can be locked or unlocked by pressing the
Priority button and the up button together for 5 seconds. A beep will
sound confirming that the controller is locked. The display will
alternately show “LOC”, the temperature setting, and a diagnostic
code if one has been activated. All of the controllers in the system
are also locked.
To unlock the controller press the Priority button and the up button
together for 5 seconds.

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).
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.
140°F = 2.2 ~ 2.7KΩ
221°F = 0.6 ~ 0.8KΩ
59°F = 11.4 ~ 14KΩ
86°F = 6.4 ~ 7.8KΩ
113°F = 3.6 ~ 4.5KΩ
Example:
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.
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.

WARNING
DO NOT adjust the other dip switches unless specifically instructed
to do so. Incorrect Dip Switch Settings can cause the Rinnai water
heater to operate in an unsafe condition and may damage the water
heater and void the warranty.
Water leakage detected
79
•
LC0~LC9 indicates that there is scale build up in the heat exchanger
and that the heat exchanger needs to be flushed to prevent damage.
Refer to the flushing instructions in the manual. Hard water must be
treated to prevent scale build up or damage to the heat exchanger.
To operate the water heater temporarily until the heat exchanger can
be flushed, push the On/Off button on the temperature controller 5
times. Repeated LC# codes will eventually lock out the water heater.
