            IMPORTANT 
The Domestic Priority Switch (part # REU-
OPU3) is an optional accessory (purchased 
separately) recommended for use with the 
hydronic air handler. 
The Domestic Priority Switch allows the tankless 
water heater or boiler to give priority to domestic 
hot water by shutting off the air handler when 
necessary. When used with a hydronic air 
handler, the switch gives priority to domestic hot 
water. When domestic hot water demand 
exceeds a certain point, the air handler will turn 
off to ensure the demand is met.  
The Domestic Priority Switch is a Normally 
Closed (NC) switch that connects to the PC 
Board in the Rinnai tankless water heater or 
boiler.  
To install the Domestic Priority Switch, open the 
contents of the Domestic Priority Switch shipping 
package and follow the remaining instructions in 
this section.  
You Will Need:  
•  Parts inside switch shipping package  
•  Philips head screwdriver (for removal of 
water heater or boiler front cover) 
•  Double-sided tape (for boiler models) 
If you are not installing the Domestic Priority 
Switch:  
•  Skip this section and proceed to section 
“5.7 Connect Water Lines.”  
•  Ensure not to short out the harness 
connectors that would normally be used 
with the Domestic Priority Switch.  
Ensure the power supply to the water heater and 
hydronic air handler is disconnected before starting 
installation. Removing the front cover will expose live 
mains voltage connections. 
 WARNING 
1.  Power off the water heater by unplugging the power 
cord or turning off the circuit breaker. The controller 
on the water heater does not control the electrical 
power. 
2.  Remove the front panel of the water heater by 
removing the four screws that secure the panel in
