1.

Turn OFF the gas supply.

2.

Turn OFF the 120 V power supply.

3.

Remove the front panel from the appliance.

4.

Check the gas type using the data plate on the side of the unit.

 

If using a spare PC board, check that the gas type switches are

 

in the correct position (dip switch 1 of SW2: ON for natural gas,

 

NG, and OFF for propane, LPG). See dip switch settings

 

section below. (ON is towards the right and OFF is towards the

 

left.)

5.

Attach the pressure gauge to the burner test point, located on

 

the gas control (Fig. 2).

6.

Turn ON the gas supply.

7.

Turn ON the 120 V power supply.

1.To display error codes, press the ON/OFF button followed by the thermostat button to cycle through the error codes.

2.To display the water flow through the water heater, press the thermostat button (hold for 2 seconds) and then press the ON/OFF button while continuing to hold the thermostat button.

3.To display the outlet water temperature, press the thermostat button (hold for 2 seconds) and then press the ON/OFF button while continuing to hold the thermostat button.

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).

8.

If a controller is installed, turn the unit ON with the controller.

 

Select the maximum delivery temperature and open all

 

available hot water taps at full.

9.

Set the unit to ‘Forced Low’ combustion by setting No. 7 dip

 

switch of the SW1 set to ON (Fig. 3).

10.Check the burner test point pressure.

11.Remove the rubber access plug and adjust the regulator screw on the modulating valve (Fig. 4) as required in Table 1. Replace the rubber access plug.

12.Set the unit to ‘Forced High’ combustion by setting both No. 7 and No. 8 dip switches of the SW1 set to ON (Fig. 5). Ensure

maximum water flow.

13.Check the burner test point pressure.

14.Adjust the high pressure potentiometer (POT) on the PC board as required to the pressure shown in Table 1.

15.Return the unit to normal operation by setting dip switches 7 and 8 of the SW1 set back to OFF (Fig. 6). Close all water taps.

16.Turn OFF the gas supply and 120 V power supply.

NOTE: For additional installation and commissioning information refer to the Operation and Installation Manual.

WARNING

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 to specification. Check the gas meter regulator and pipework for correct operation/sizing and correct as required.

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).

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 amp scale and series your meter in line with the flame rod. You should read 1 amp or greater for proper flame circuit. In the event of low flame circuit remove the flame rod and check for carbon or damage.

Heat Exchanger and Outgoing Water Temperature 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.

 

Example:

59°F = 11.4 ~ 14K

140°F = 2.2 ~ 2.7K

 

 

 

 

 

86°F = 6.4 ~ 7.8K

With the power off you can check the continuity through the surge protector. Place a meter lead on the top pin #1 of the surge protector and pin #3 on the bottom of the surge protector. Check across the top pin #3 and bottom pin #1. If you read continuity across these two points then the surge protector is good. If you do not get continuity then replace the surge protector.

Frost Protection:

This unit has frost protection heaters mounted at different points to protect the water heater from freezing. The heaters located on the hot water outlet line should have a resistance reading of 180-207 ohms through each of these heaters. The heater located on the heat exchanger piping should have a resistance reading of 156-180 ohms and the one located in the water flow sensor valve should have a resistance reading 24-28 ohms.

Amp Fuses:

This unit has one inline (3) amp glass fuses. 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.
