Rinnai Australia ii Operation Manual
REGULATORY INFORMATION Your Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater has been certified by the Australian Gas Association. The A.G.A. Certification Number is shown on the data plate. This Appliance must be installed correctly by an authorised person. The installation of gas, water, and electricity must conform to local regulations. The installation must also comply with the instructions supplied by Rinnai. All dimensions referred to in these instructions are in millimetres, unless otherwise specified.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS Congratulations on purchasing the latest technology temperature controlled Rinnai continuous flow water heating system. • The Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater products NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. Whilst electricity, water and gas supplies are connected, hot water is available whenever 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 values.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION NOTE The range of Rinnai continuous flow water heaters referred to in this manual are incompatible with solar water heating systems. A dedicated range of solar compatible continuous flow water heaters is available from Rinnai. OFF! Always check water temperature carefully before use. Refer to the WARNING ABOUT HOT WATER on "page 1" of this manual for important safety information. At low water flows, the hot water unit may extinguish without warning.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION S O L V E N T Max. 43°C Whilst hot water outlets are open the set temperature may be lowered. However they cannot then be raised above 43°C. In addition transfer of 'priority' between controllers is not possible. These are safety features. To clean your water controller(s) use a soft damp cloth with a mild detergent. Do Not use solvents! 49°C 50°C There is no need to turn the water controller(s) off after use.
OPERATION WITHOUT CONTROLLERS Rinnai Continuous Flow water heater products do not use a pilot light. When installed and operated without water controllers, the opening of any hot water tap will automatically start the appliance. Once water is flowing through the appliance the burner will be ignited by electronic ignition. When the hot water tap is closed and water flowing through the appliance has stopped the burner flame will extinguish.
GENERAL WATER CONTROL INFORMATION Remote water controllers allow precise temperature control by the user. When used correctly, the hot water unit will deliver the selected temperature, even when the water flow is varied, or more than one tap is in use. Each water controller can be individually programmed, however the water heater can only deliver one set temperature at any time.

Rinnai Australia 20 Installation Manual
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS REGULATIONS This appliance must be installed in accordance with: • • • Current AS/NZS3000, AS/NZS3500 and AS5601 Rinnai Installation Instructions Local regulations and municipal building codes Installation, Service and Removal MUST BE by an Authorised Person only.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (All Models) This appliance must be placed as close as practicable to the most frequently used hot water outlet or outlets to minimise the delay time for hot water delivery. For installations where the distance between the water heater and the outlets is considerable, a flow and return system or the Rinnai Smartstart® system can be used which minimise the waiting time for hot water delivery.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT If the appliance is to deliver water primarily for the purposes of personal hygiene in an early childhood centre, primary or secondary school, nursing home or a similar facility for the care of young, aged, sick or disabled persons as defined in AS/NZ3500.4 a Temperature Limiting Device (TLD), such as a Tempering Valve may be required even if the appliance is set to 50º C or less. For these types of applications contact Rinnai.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HORIZONTAL FLUE TERMINAL CLEARANCES (Extract from AS5601 - 2004) HORIZONTAL OBSTRUCTIONS AS5601-2004 ‘Gas Installations’ stipulates a minimum horizontal clearance of 500 mm between a building structure and obstruction facing the terminal. For Rinnai external continuous flow water heaters such a building structure must ‘obstruct’ the full front cover height of the appliance, or extend vertically above and below the front cover.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COAXIAL FLUEING FOR INTERNAL MODELS Rinnai internal models described in this manual must use the coaxial Rinnai FF flue components. The use of non Rinnai FF flue components may result in a dangerous situation and violates regulations. The FF flue system must be installed in accordance with the ‘FF Flue Installation Manual’ which is provided with the FF flue terminal components FFWALLTERM or FFROOFCOWL.
CONDENSATE DRAIN (REU-KM’ MODELS ONLY) The INFINITY ENVIRO 32 (REU-KM3237WD) and INFINITY ENVIRO 26 (REU-KM2635WD) water heaters generate condensate continuously at a rate of up to 5 litres per hour as a by-product of highly efficient gas burner system. This condensate must be drained via a pipe to a suitable point of discharge. Because the condensate is a by-product of gas combustion it is mildly acidic. For this reason copper tube and fittings MUST NOT be used as it will corrode.
CONDENSATE DRAIN (REU-KM’ MODELS ONLY) (g) Where discharging over a tundish or gully trap, drain lines shall have an air gap of a size at least twice the diameter of the drain line. INTERCONNECTION OF CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES Condensate drain lines from multiple water heaters may be joined together provided they conform with the ‘INSTALLATION’ requirements on page 27.
WATER CONTROLLER INSTALLATION RINNAI WATER CONTROLLERS Water controllers are available as an optional extra. Universal and Deluxe water controllers can be used together and will function as described in the Operation Section of this manual. Please refer to page 6 to confirm the maximum number and combination of water controllers that can be fitted. NOTE Other manufacturers water controllers are NOT compatible with Rinnai water heaters. Water controllers MUST NOT be used with any Solar Boost water heater.

WATER CONTROLLER INSTALLATION CONNECTING COMMUNICATION CABLES TO THE WATER HEATER Communication cables connect the water heater to water controllers and operate at an extra low voltage (12 Volts DC) which is supplied from the water heater. Communication cables are supplied with the water controllers (15m) and are fitted with spade terminals for connection to water heater. Up to two cables can be connected directly to the ‘Ezi connect’ cable connector at the water heater.
COMMISSIONING TESTING 1. Before final connection of the water heater purge gas, hot water and cold water supply lines. 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 supply. Remove test point screw located on the gas inlet connection and attach pressure gauge. 5. Turn the power 'on' at the power point socket and turn on gas. 6.

ACCESSORIES Recess Box: When installing an Rinnai Continuous Flow hot water heater in a new home or renovation, it is a great idea to allow for a recess box to be included at the construction stage. These boxes allow you to literally recess the appliance into the cavity of the wall saving precious space. In addition they virtually hide your hot water system altogether. A semi recessed (approx. 70mm proud of the wall) model is available for all water heater models.
