INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - CONNECTIONS Water Supply. Where the water supply pressure exceeds 12 bar, an approved pressure reducing device is required at the inlet of the appliance. To achieve the rated flow a minimum water supply pressure of 1.4 bar is required at the appliance inlet. The unit will operate at lower supply pressures but the rated flow will not be achieved. Contact Rinnai for 'gravity fed' or 'low pressure' hot water installations.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS Congratulations on purchasing the Technologically Advanced, Temperature Controlled, Rinnai Hot Water System. • The Rinnai Infinity 26i and HD50i NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. As long as electricity, water, and gas supplies are connected, hot water is available when hot water taps are open. • Built into the main micro-processor is the facility to LIMIT THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied. The water temperature may be limited to various maximum temperatures.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young children and the infirm. The water heater allows you to control the temperature of your hot water to safe levels. Water temperature over 50ºC can cause severe burns instantly or even death from scalding. Children, disabled and the elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded by excessively hot water. Always test the temperature of the water before bathing or showering.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Always check water temperature before use. Hot water may go out without warning at low water flows. OFF Refer to warning about hot water on page 14 for important safety information. The Infinity 26i and HD50i control the water temperature automatically. For high temperatures it may reduce the flow. The water from the hot tap may be reduced after the temperature shown on the remote control is raised. The water flow may also vary with the temperature of the incoming water supply.
OPERATION WITHOUT REMOTES Rinnai Infinity and HD products have no pilot light and when installed without Temperature Controllers, the appliance will operate automatically as soon as a hot water tap is opened. The burner ignites with electronic ignition and the flame extinguishes as soon as water flowing through the appliance stops. Turn On by opening the hot water tap Rinnai Infinity water heaters without controllers are factory pre-set to a temperature limit of 55°C.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - GENERAL When deciding on the best position for the temperature controls, the following points should be taken into account. • Fit the controls out of reach of children (suggested height from the floor 1.5m.) • Avoid positions where the controllers will become hot. Do not fit them near stoves or ovens, or above radiators or heaters. • If possible, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or positions where bright lights will make the digital display difficult to read.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - INSTALLATION Universal Temperature Controller MC-91-1A 1. Determine the most suitable position for the temperature controller. 2. Drill 3 holes in the wall as shown in fig 1, one for the cable and two for the securing screws. Ensure holes are drilled deep enough. Fit wall plugs if needed. (ensure controller is level.) 3. Run the cable provided through the hole in the wall-ensuring that the end fitted with the connector is nearest the controller. (fig 2.) 4.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - INSTALLATION Connecting One or Two Controllers 1. Isolate the power supply. 2. Remove the front cover from the Appliance (4 screws) fig. 1. 3. Thread the cable through the cable access hole at the base of the appliance. 4. Connect the spade connectors to the terminals marked "Remote Control" on the printed circuit board (fig.2). Polarity is not important. Either wire colour can be connected to either terminal. 5. Replace cover of the Appliance.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS The purpose of a Temperature Controller is to enable the user to have complete control over the hot water supply. Used correctly, the hot water unit will supply hot water at the temperature selected, even when the water flow is varied, or when more than one tap is used. Adjustments to the operation of your hot water unit can be made with any of the Temperature Controllers. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Remote temperature controllers are a feature that provides control over the water temperature. Rinnai Infinity and HD water heaters can be operated with 1, 2, 3, 4 or no temperature controllers. The Universal controller MC-91-1A comes as standard with all Infinity water heaters, and are optional for the HD range. NOTE: Each time a button is pressed, a BEEP will sound.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using 1 Universal Temperature Controller. Press the On/Off button on the temperature controller. The ON indicator will glow on the Temperature Controller. This indicates that the heater is ready to supply hot water when a tap is opened. Adjusting Temperature Simply press the Hot Water Temperature Up or Down arrow button until the desired temperature is displayed on the digital display. To operate the heater, simply turn any hot water tap on.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using 2 or more Universal Temperature Controllers. Switching the system ON. The hot water system and all controllers can be switched ON and OFF from any controller by pressing the On/Off button as shown. When the system is turned ON the water temperature display will be lit. During normal operation the system is left ON. Do not push the On/Off button when water is running. Using hot water. Ensure the system is switched On by verifying the temperature display is lit.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using 4 Universal Temperature Controllers. You will need to activate the fourth controller. STEP 1: On the Master controller press and hold the Transfer and On/Off buttons simultaneously (see fig 2.) until a “beep” is heard (approx. 5 seconds) STEP 2: Check that the display on all Four controllers is lit and displaying a temperature when switched on. If any ONE of the controllers displays two dashes (see fig 1.) in the display repeat STEP 1.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING Using High Temperature Display Controllers. You will need to program the Master controller if you want to display and use temperatures over 500C. Programming only needs to be done on Master universal controllers; other universal controllers will not allow this, and Deluxe Kitchen Controllers are supplied already programmed to allow high temperatures. Temperatures in bathrooms should never exceed 500C.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - OPERATING To turn off your hot water system. During normal operation the system is left on. To turn the system off simply press the On/Off button on any temperature controller (where fitted). This will shut the water heater down completely including the temperature controller digital display. The on indicator will go out. If hot water taps are opened when the Rinnai Infinity is off, cold water will flow from the taps.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - INFORMATION Do not push the On/Off button on the Master controller after transferring priority of temperature selection to a Secondary controller as the system will shut down. Temperature priority can not be switched to another controller when the water is flowing through the water heater.
TESTING 1. Purge gas, hot water and cold water supply lines before making the final connection of the water heater. Swarf in either the gas or water supplies may cause damage. 2. Turn on gas and cold water supplies. 3. Test for water leaks and gas escapes near the unit. 4. Isolate gas and electric supply. Remove test point screw located on the inlet gas valve connection inside the heater and attach pressure gauge. 5. Turn the power on at the switch and turn on gas.
GAS PRESSURE SETTING The working gas pressure on the water heater is electronically controlled and factory set. Under normal circumstances it does not require adjustment during installation. Perform this procedure only if the unit is not operating correctly and all other possible causes for incorrect operation have been eliminated. Contact Rinnai UK before attempting to alter the gas pressure. Failure to do so could void the warranty. 1. Turn 'OFF' the gas supply. 2. Turn 'OFF' 230V power supply. 3.
GAS PRESSURE SETTING 11. Remove rubber access plug and adjust the regulator screw on the modulating valve (fig. 4) as required to the pressure below. Replace rubber access plug. N.G 1.9 mbar LPG 2.3 mbar 12. Set the Rinnai Infinity to 'Forced High' combustion by setting no. 7 and no. 8 dipswitches of the top set of switches (SW1) to 'ON'.
