20 Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual
Consideraon of care for your boiler should
include evaluaon of water quality.
The water must be potable, free of
corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, or other
contaminants.
It is up to the installer to ensure the water
does not contain corrosive chemicals or
elements that can aect or damage the
boiler.
Water that contains chemicals exceeding
the levels below can damage the boiler.
The pH level must fall between 6.5 and
8.5.
Total water hardness must fall between 5
and 12 grains per gallon.
When water hardness is higher than
12 grains per gallon consult local
water treatment companies.
Chloride concentraon must be less than
150 ppm (mg/l)
Do not ll appliance to work with
water containing chlorides in excess
of 150 ppm (mg/l).
Using chlorinated fresh water should
be acceptable as levels are typically
less than 5 ppm (mg/L).
Do not connect the appliance to
directly heat swimming pool or spa
water
Total Dissolved Solids (TSD) must be
between 100 and 350 ppm (mg/l).
Total dissolved solids are minerals,
salts, metals, and charged parcles
that are dissolved in water.
When choosing an installaon locaon, you
must ensure that clearances will be met and
that the vent length will be within required
limits. Consider the installaon
environment, water quality, and need for
freeze protecon. Requirements for the gas
line, water lines, electrical connecon, and
condensate disposal can be found in their
respecve installaon secons in this
manual.
This secon provides informaon on the
importance of water quality to the Rinnai
Condensing Boiler. The informaon is
intended to serve as general guidelines only
and is not a complete list of water quality
guidelines.
The greater the amounts of TDS
present, the higher the corrosion
potenal due to increased
conducvity in the water.
If using soened water to ll the
appliance, it is sll possible to have
high TDS. This water can be
corrosive. Consult local water
treatment companies for other
treatment soluons to reduce this
aect.
Unsuitable heang system water can
cause the formaon of scale or sludge,
which aects system eciency. It can
also cause corrosion and reduce life of
the heat exchanger. It is crical to
monitor pH, hardness level, chlorides,
and TDS to prolong the life of the
appliance.
Never use water that has been treated by
a reverse osmosis, deionized, or dislled
water to soen the water to ll the
heang system.
Connual fresh makeup water will
reduce the life of the appliance. The
addion of oxygen carried in by the make
up water can cause internal corrosion in
the system.
When using a make up water, It is
recommended to install a water meter to
monitor the amount of water being
introduced into the system. The total
annual make up water should not exceed
5% of the total system water volume.
Oxygen permeable or rubber tubing is
not permied in the heang system
unless it is separated from the boiler by a
plate heat exchanger.
Thoroughly ush the system prior to
lling. While ushing, isolate the boiler.
Do not introduce any system cleaner into
the boiler. Flush the system thoroughly
to remove all system cleaner before
lling the boiler with water.
When freeze protecon of the heang
system is desired, use Rinnai-approved
anfreezes.

Consult the glycol manufacturer for
details on the suggested mix of glycol and
water for the desired freeze protecon
level and the de-rate eect it will have on
the boiler output. NEVER use automove
anfreeze. Use ONLY inhibited propylene
glycol soluons, which are specically
formulated for hydronic heang system.
Ethylene glycol is toxic and can aack
gaskets and seals used in hydronic
heang system.
Black oxide sludge (magnete - Fe304)
forms as a result of connuous electrolyc
corrosion in any system unprotected by an
inhibitor.
Iron oxide (Fe203) (red oxide sludge) is
produced during oxygenaon. Scale deposit
is made up of lime scale contained in most
distributed water that seles over the
warmest surfaces of the system. Sludge and
scale do mix together and are the cause of
many eld problems on heang
applicaons. The presence of these
substances indicate that standard
precauons have not been implemented
and may void warranty.
The chemical compability of several
products for the treatment of heang water
equipment has been tested on this boilers
heat exchanger.
Rinnai recommends using the system
cleaners, corrosion/scale inhibitors in the
table below.
Keep the system free of impuries,
construcon dust, sand, copper dust,
grease, carbon deposits, and welding ux
residue before and during boiler
assembly. Rinse the old system with clear
water mixed with a highly concentrated
rinse agent.
More generally, it is advised to
implement any procedure necessary to
prevent or treat contaminaon.

The instructions in this section explain how to adjust boiler settings to
allow for higher exhaust temperatures. These instructions apply only for
installations using CPVC, listed Polypropylene, or stainless steel venting. If these instructions are
not followed exactly, a fire or carbon monoxide leak may result causing property damage,
personal injury, or death. DO NOT adjust boiler settings to allow higher exhaust temperatures
when venting with PVC.
This product is equipped with safety devices to control the exhaust temperature which allows for a
variety of venting materials to be used in its final installation. The boiler is set up from the factory to
be installed with a PVC venting system and a built-in control to limit the exhaust temperature to be
below 149°F (65°C). In high temperature applications where the exhaust temperature can exceed
149°F (65°C), CPVC, listed Polypropylene (PP), or stainless steel venting must be used. The choice of
venting materials may have an impact on overall performance. Also, If the vent material is other than
PVC (CPVC, listed PP or stainless steel) follow the procedure below to adjust the internal settings.

Unconned Space
An unconned space is dened in Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 as a space whose volume is
not less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kW per hour) of the aggregate input rang of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicang directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconned space.If the
unconned spacecontaining the appliance(s) is in a building with ght construcon, addional outside air
may be required for proper operaon. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a conned
space.
Conned Space
A conned space is dened in the Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 as "a space whose volume is
less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr (4.8 m3 per kW per hour) of the aggregate input rang of all
appliances installed in that space." Examples include a small room, closet, alcove, ulity room, etc. A
conned space must have two combuson air openings. Size the combuson air openings based on the Btu
input for all gas ulizaon equipment in the space and the method by which combuson air is supplied.
Using Indoor Air For Combuson
When using air from other room(s) in the building, the total volume of the room(s) must be of adequate
volume (greater than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu/hr). Combuson air openings between joining rooms must
have at least 1 square inch of free area for each 1000 Btu/hr, but not less than 100 square inches each.
Using Outdoor Air For Combuson
Outdoor air can be provided to a conned space through two permanent openings, one commencing within
12 in. (0.30 m) of the top and one commencing within 12 in. (0.30 m) of the boom, of the conned space.
The openings shall communicate to the outside by one of two ways.
When communicang directly with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a
minimum free area of 1 in
2
/2000 Btu/hr (1100 mm
2
/kW) of total input rang of all appliances in the conned
space.
Note: If ducts are used, the cross seconal area of the duct must be greater than or equal to the required
free area of the openings to which they are connected.
Louvers and Grills
When sizing the permanent opening consideraon must be taken for the design of the louvers or grills to
maintain the required free area required for all gas ulizing equipment in the space. If the free area of the
louver or grill design is not available, assume wood louvers will have 25% free area and metal louvers or grills
will have 75% free area. Under no circumstance should the louver, grill or screen have openings smaller than
1/4 in.
Examples: Wood: 10 in. x 12 in. x 0.25 = 30 in.
2
Metal: 10 in. x 12 in. x 0.75 = 90 in.

Locaon
To maintain proper circulaon of combuson air two permanent openings (one upper, one lower) must be
posioned in conned spaces. The upper shall be within 12 in. (0.30 m) of the top of the

IMPORTANT
1. Check the type of gas and gas supply pressure before
connecting the boiler. If the boiler is not of the gas
type that the building is supplied with, converting the
gas type of the boiler is necessary. A gas conversion kit
is available and can be purchased as an accessory.
Remove the Gas connection cap on the bottom of the
boiler before connecting the gas supply piping (Figure
44).
3. Check the gas supply pressure immediately upstream
at a location provided by the gas company. Supplied
gas pressure must be within the limits shown below:
Natural Gas: 3.5 in. - 10.5 in. wc (0.87 - 2.61 kPa)
Propane Gas: 8.0 in. - 13.5 in. wc (1.99 - 3.36 kPa)
Maximum gas pressure checked with no flow (lockup)
or with boiler on.
Minimum pressure checked with gas flowing and unit
running at 100% of the firing rate.
4. Before placing the appliance in operation, all joints
including the heater must be checked for gas tightness
by means of soap, gas leak detector solution, or an
equivalent nonflammable solution, as applicable.
Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may cause corrosion or stress cracking, the
piping shall be rinsed with water after testing, unless it
has been determined that the leak test solution is non
-corrosive.
5. Use approved and appropriately sized connectors to
connect the boiler to the gas line. Purge the gas line of
any debris before connection to the boiler.
6. Any compound used on the threaded joint of the gas
piping shall be a type that resists the action of
liquefied petroleum gas (propane/LPG).
7. The gas supply line shall be gas tight, sized, and so
installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to
meet the maximum demand of the heater and all
other gas consuming appliances at the location
without loss of pressure. If in doubt about the size of
the gas line, refer to section “6.3 Gas Pipe Sizing
Reference Tables.
8. Perform a leak and pressure test prior to operating
the boiler. If a leak is detected, do not operate the
boiler until the leak is repaired.

Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual 49
The gas supply must be capable of handling the enre
gas load required at the locaon. Gas line sizing is
based on gas type, the pressure drop in the system,
the gas pressure supplied, and gas line type. For gas
pipe sizing, refer to the Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installaon Code, CSA B149.1
For some tables, you will need to determine the cubic
feet per hour of gas required by dividing the gas input
by the heang value of the gas (available from the
local gas company). The gas input needs to include all
gas products at the locaon and the maximum Btu
usage at full load when all gas products are in use.
Use the table for your gas type and pipe type to nd
the pipe size required. The pipe size must be able to
provide the required cubic feet per hour of gas or the

Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual 51
The gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length of pipe, to avoid excessive
pressure drop. Both the gas meter and the gas regulator must be properly sized for the total
gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1 inch w.c. (249 Pa), the meter,
regulator, or gas line is undersized or in need of service. Perform the steps below when
checking inlet gas supply:
1. Turn OFF the electrical power to the unit.
2. Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas valve in the gas piping to the appliance.
3. Remove the front panel as shown in front panel removal instructions. Place the front panel
on a safe place where it can not be damaged. Remove the two screws holding the HMI
assembly to allow it to tilt down. Remove the rubber plugs located behind the HMI
assembly to provide access to gas valve.
4. Locate the gas valve inlet measurement port (see figure below), use a Torx T-10 driver to
undo the screw a half turn. Slip a tube over the nipple and connect to a manometer
(pressure taps have a 0.35” [9mm] outer diameter).
5. Slowly turn ON the gas supply at the manual gas valve.
6. Restore the electrical power to the unit.
7. Use the boiler controller to adjust the temperature setpoint and call for heat.
8. Observe the gas supply pressure as the unit fires at 100% of the input rate. Percent Boiler
modulation (percentage) will be displayed on the home screen of the unit.
9. Ensure the inlet pressure is within the specified range. Minimum and maximum gas supply
pressures are specified in this section of the manual. If the gas pressure is out of range,
contact the gas utility, gas supplier, qualified installer or service agency to determine the
necessary steps to provide proper gas pressure to the control.
10. Turn OFF the electrical power to the unit.
11. Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas valve in the gas piping to the appliance.
12. Remove the manometer from the pressure tap located on the gas valve. Ensure that the
screw is closed and leak tight after the testing (Torque: 0.9 - 8.9 Lb-in [0.11 Nm]).

This boiler is designed to work in a
closed loop system with pressure no less
than 12 psi (83 kPa). NOTE: Non-metallic
system piping must have an oxygen
barrier to be considered a closed loop.
Purge the heang system to remove all
debris and air. Debris and air in the lines
will damage the boiler.
When removing the plasc sealing caps
from the boiler connecons, water may
come out of the boiler due to live re
tesng during manufacturing.
The boiler, when used in connecon with
a refrigeraon system, must be installed
so the chilled medium is piped in parallel
with the boiler with appropriate valves
to prevent the chilled medium from
entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water
boiler connected to heang coils located
in air handling units where they may be
exposed to refrigerated air circulaon
must be equipped with ow control
valves or other automac means to
prevent gravity circulaon of the boiler
water during the cooling cycle.
Some installaons with mulple zone
valves may require a dierenal bypass,
which will prevent excessively high ow
rates through a single zone when the
other zone valves are closed.
To connect the water supply, follow the
instrucons below.
For standard installaons, refer to the Piping
Diagram for Basic Central Heang
Installaonin this chapter.
Remove the caps and plumb the heang
supply and return lines to the heang return
connecon on the boom of the boiler. The

Listed below are common components in a
Central Heang system. Refer to the diagram
on the next page.
Expansion Tank A properly sized
expansion tank charged to 2 PSI (14 kPa)
below the cold system pressure is required
to limit pressure changes in the heang
system. When replacing an expansion tank,
consult the expansion tank manufacturer
for sizing. Size the expansion tank for the
required system volume and capacity
according to the expansion tank
manufacturers instrucons.
Air Separator An air separator is needed
on the central heang supply side of the
system to remove any air that may be
present in the piping.
Pressure/Temperature Gauge The
current pressure and temperature will
alternately be displayed on the boiler
control panel. An external temperature
and pressure gauge is recommended to be
installed on the boiler supply pipe.
Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) A PRV
located directly on the supply side of the
boiler is required. A 75 PSI (517 kPa) PRV is
supplied with the boiler. This boiler has a
high-temperature shut-o device built-in
as a standard safety feature. Therefore, a
pressure onlyrelief valve is required. DO
NOT install a relief valve with a pressure
rang in excess of 75 psi (517 kPa) - the
maximum allowable operang pressure of
the boiler. The relief valve capacity must
exceed the BTU/H input capacity of the
boiler.
Oxygen Eliminaon The boiler may
only be installed in a pressurized closed-
loop heang system, free of air and
other impuries. If using oxygen
permeable tubing in the central heang
system, a plate heat exchanger is
necessary to isolate the tubing and
boiler.
Low Water Cut O (LWCO) This
boiler has a factory-installed pressure
sensor type LWCO. The boiler's internal
LWCO is not serviceable or adjustable.
Check your local codes to determine if a
LWCO is required and if this device
conforms to the local code. If a LWCO is
required to be installed, the probe must
be located higher than the minimum
safe water level. When a LWCO is
installed, it must be wired back to the
appropriate terminal on the boiler.
Water Fill Valve Maintains proper
water pressure in the central heang
circuit.
Back Flow Preventer Use a back ow
preventer in the lling circuit to the
appliance as required by local code.
Dirt Trap Protects the boiler from
debris in the plumbing system. It is
recommended to install dirt trap in a
retrot installaon to remove debris le
in the system.
Magnec separator This device is
recommended to be installed in a
retrot system containing cast iron and/
or steel pipe. It should be located in the
heang return line as close as possible
to the boiler.
Boiler Circulator Pump A properly
sized pump should be installed on the
return line pumping into the boiler. The
pump should be sized according to the
pressure losses of the boiler and the
related heang system.

58 Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual
Rinnai requires the use of hydraulic separaon between the boiler and central heang system.
Hydraulic separaon and primary/secondary piping allow two or more circulators in a hydronic
system to operate independently, without interfering with ow in connecng piping circuits.
NOTE
Examples of Hydraulic Separaon
Closely spaced tees and low loss headers are common examples of hydraulic separators and are
used to separate the boiler loop from the central heang loop.
When Rinnai Commercial Boilers are in use with Rinnai air handlers, please reference the air
handler Installaon and Operaon Manual for installaon and performance details.

The Rinnai Commercial Boiler does not have an included boiler pump. An external boiler pump
must be installed and sized to the ow rate and pressure drop through the boiler, system piping,
and system components. Larger systems, or systems with large pressure drops, should incorporate
a form of hydraulic separaon, such as closely spaced tees or a low loss header.
Below are opons for the primary pump circulang across the boiler. No addional pressure drop is
accounted for through the system piping or system components. Recommended circulaon pumps
are listed below. The maximum amperage permied each pump connected is 2 Amps.

An approved pressure relief valve is required
by the American Naonal Standard (ANSI
Z21.13) and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Secon IV (Heang Boilers) for all water
heang systems and shall be accessible for
servicing (an approved pressure relief valve is
supplied with the boiler). When connecng a
pressure relief valve, follow the guidelines
below:
The pressure relief valve must comply with
the standard for Relief Valves and
Automac Gas Shuto Devices for Hot
Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21.22, the
standard Temperature, Pressure,
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves
and Vacuum Relief Valves, CAN1-4.4, and/
or the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Secon IV (Heang Boilers).
The pressure relief valve must be rated up
to 75 psi for central heang systems, and
to at least the maximum Btu/hr of the
appliance.
The discharge from the pressure relief
valve should be piped to the ground or into
a drain system per local codes.
The pressure relief valve must be manually
operated once a year to check for correct
operaon.
The discharge line from the pressure relief
valve should pitch downward and
terminate 6 in. (152 mm) above drains
where discharge will be clearly visible.
Water discharged from the pressure relief
valve could cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds.
The discharge end of the line shall be plain
(unthreaded) and a minimum of 3/4 in.
nominal pipe diameter. The discharge line
material must be suitable for water at
least 180° Fahrenheit.
If a pressure relief valve discharges
periodically, this may be due to thermal
expansion in a closed water supply system.
Contact the water supplier or local
plumbing inspector on how to correct this
situaon. Do not plug the pressure relief
valve.
The American Naonal Standard (ANSI
Z21.13) does not require a combinaon
temperature and pressure relief valve for
this appliance. However, local codes may
require a combinaon temperature and
pressure relief valve.
Protect pressure relief valve and pressure
relief valve discharge line from freezing.
Do not plug or restrict ow of the pressure
relief valve.
IMPORTANT
An ASME 75 psi safety pressure relief
valve is included with the boiler and must
be ed before any shut o valve in the
system.
DO NOT plumb the pressure relief
valve with the condensate drain; both
must be plumbed independently to
drain.
DO NOT plug the pressure relief valve
and do not install any reducing ngs
or other restricons in the relief line.
The pressure relief line should allow
for complete drainage of the valve
and the line.
DO NOT place any other valve or
shuto device between the pressure
relief valve and the boiler.
WARNING
background
Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual 61
Do not plumb the condensate drain with
the pressure relief valve; both must be
plumbed independently to drain.
All condensate must drain and be
disposed of according to local codes.
Use only corrosion resistant materials for
the condensate drain lines such as PVC
pipe or plasc hose.
The condensate drain pipe (along its enre
length) must be at least 3/4 inches.
The condensate drain pipe should be as
short as possible and have a downward
pitch.
Condensaon drain lines installed in areas
that are subject to freezing temperatures
should be wrapped with an approved
supplemental heat source. Install per
manufacturers instrucons.
Slope the condensate drain lines toward
the inside oor drain or condensate
pump.
If the condensate drain pipe is closed or
stuck, the drain water will come out from
the side hole on the condensate drain pipe
connecon.
The end of the condensate drain pipe
should be open to the atmosphere. The
end should not be under water or other
substances.
If a oor drain is not available or the drain
is above the level of the condensate drain,
a condensate pump should be installed.
Use a tee at the condensate connecon
with a branch vercally up and open to
atmosphere to prevent a vacuum that
could obstruct the ow of condensate
from the boiler.

Indirect Tank Control Opons
The piping (including soldering materials)
and components connected to this
appliance must be approved for use in
potable water systems.
Purge the water line to remove all debris
and air. Debris will damage the boiler.
DHW must not be connected to a system
that was previously used with a non-
potable water heang appliance.
DO NOT introduce toxic chemicals such as
those used for boiler water treatment to
the potable water used for central heang
into the DHW system.
Hot water can cause rst degree burns
with exposure for as lile as:
3 seconds at 140°F (60°C)
20 seconds at 130°F (54°C)
8 minutes at 120°F (49°C)
Children, disabled, or elderly are at
highest risk of being scalded. Feel water
before bathing or showering.
Water temperatures
over 125° F (52° C)
can cause severe
burns or scalding
resulng in death.
DANGER
This boiler provides DHW through an indirect
tank. The boiler incorporates temperature
control features for the boiler and indirect
tank controls, including indirect tank heang
priority.
HOT
BURN
The indirect tank temperature is controlled
through either a thermistor (default) or
thermostat/aqua-stat.
Thermistor (Default): The Indirect Tank
temperature setpoint range is 104F to
176F. Connect the thermistor to the low
voltage terminal labeled DHW sensor’.
When a thermistor is connected, the
boiler will automacally recognize the
temperature in the tank. Once the
setpoint is selected, the boiler will
automacally calculate the supply
temperature setpoint in order to
eciently sasfy the Indirect Tank
demand. The maximum boiler supply
temperature is 180°F (82°C). The higher
the supply temperature to the tank, the
quicker the tank will heat up.
Thermostat: If thermostat control of the
tank is desired, the thermostat connects
to the low voltage terminal labeled DHW
sensor’. Set the Indirect Setpoint to
match the seng of the Aqua-Stat
mounted on the tank. Once the setpoint
is selected, the boiler will automacally
calculate the supply temperature setpoint
in order to eciently sasfy the Indirect
Tank demand. The maximum boiler
supply temperature is 180°F (82°C). The
higher the supply temperature to the
tank, the quicker the tank will heat up.

Failure to properly commission the boiler as
described in this secon
may result in
unreliable and unsafe burner operaon and
reduced component life.
THIS SECTION IS INTENDED
FOR THE INSTALLER
This boiler must be commissioned by a
licensed professional. Installer qualicaons:
A trained and qualied professional must
install the appliance, inspect it, and leak test
the boiler before use. The warranty will be
voided due to any improper installaon. The
trained and qualied professional should
have skills such as: Gas sizing; Connecng
gas lines, water lines, valves, and electricity;
Knowledge of applicable naonal, state, and
local codes; Installing venng through a wall
or roof; and training in installaon of
condensing boilers.
Boiler commissioning is a procedure used
aer boiler installaon to ensure the system
and boiler were installed correctly and ready
for operaon.
1 Ensure all boiler components are installed
correctly.
2 Open the air vent inside the boiler.
3 Power on the boiler.
4 Open the ll valve on the lling circuit.
5 Check the pressure on the controller and/or
pressure gauge. Fill the boiler to a minimum
of 20 PSI (138 kPa) water pressure and a
maximum of 70 PSI (483 kPa).
6 Error code 118 code will be present unl the
boiler senses at least 12 PSI (83 kPa).
7 Check the heang system for leaks.
8 Begin the deaeraon process shown in the
next secon (“10.3 Deaeraon Process”).
Work on the boiler must be carried out
by a licensed professional, using
correctly calibrated instruments with
current test cercaon. The
commissioning instrucons are
intended for licensed professionals who
have the necessary knowledge and are
approved for working on heang and
gas systems.
The fan will operate when power is
inially provided to perform a safety
check on the boiler.
The boiler and its individual shut o
valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any
pressure tesng of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
Before the boiler is red for the rst
me:
Ensure the boiler and system are
fully de-aerated

Deaeraon is an eecve method of purging air from the boiler aer the system has been lled or
serviced.
1. Fill the boiler to a minimum of 20 PSI (138 kPa) water pressure and a maximum of 70 PSI (483 kPa).
2. The deaeraon process should be performed for at least 15 minutes if all three (3) pumps terminals
are being used.
3. Close the air vent located inside the boiler. Aer approximately one week, all air in the system
should be eliminated via the air separator in the piping system.
Press the SERVICE icon on the boiler home page. It will prompt the user to enter a password. In
order to access the SERVICE page, the control will prompt the user to select the access level and
enter password. The password for Installer is 9419. The technician and Engineer user levels can
ONLY be accessed by a Rinnai employee.
Use the Pump Service Mode to manually energize each pump individually to remove air from the
system. It is recommended to run each pump for a minimum of ve (5) minutes in order to purge
the air from the system. Run the Boiler Pump to remove air from the primary boiler circuit. If and
indirect tank is being used, also run the DHW Pump to remove air from the DHW piping. Then move
to each central heang zones to remove air from the system side (Run CH-1 Pump and/or DHW

IMPORTANT
On inial startup of the system, it is necessary to manually run the pumps from the service
page to remove all air from the system piping and boiler. Failure to properly deaerate the
boiler and system may result in damage to the boiler, which is not covered by the boiler
warranty.
It can take up to a week before all the air has disappeared from a newly-lled and
pressurized installaon. During the rst week of operaon, noises can be heard which
indicate the presence of air. The automac air vent in the boiler and air separator in the
heang system will remove the air, which means the water pressure will reduce some
during this period; therefore, addional water is necessary to maintain proper pressure in
the heang system. Water pressure needed for operaon:
The boiler is in normal operaon between 20 - 70 PSI.
Below 12 PSI and above 87 PSI, the boiler will have error codes (117 or 118 error code
will be present on the controller display) and will not operate. Increasing the heang
system water pressure is necessary for operaon.
Below 12 PSI, error code 117 will be present on the controller display.
Above 87 PSI, error code 118 will be present on the controller display.
The maximum pressure permied inside the heat exchanger is 160 PSI.
The pressure relief valve supplied with the boiler is rated to 75 PSI.

Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual 79
Outdoor reset is a built-in funcon to help maximize the eciency of the boiler. The design of this
funcon is to adjust the target temperature of the boiler relave to the outdoor ambient
temperature via the exible outdoor reset curve opons included in the boiler setup page. The
outdoor ambient temperature is observed via the provided outdoor temperature sensor.
NOTE: When a DHW indirect tank is installed as a heang zone, and the outside temperature may
exceed the maximum limit of warm weather shutdown (86°F), the outdoor reset mut be disabled.
During warm weather shutdown, the boiler will not provide any heat to the indirect tank if it is
connected to the boiler as a heang zone.
The outdoor temperatures sensor (1 kOhm) should be mounted to avoid direct sun light (to prevent
obtaining false reading of the outdoor temperature) ideally on a North facing wall of the house.
The sensor should also be mounted away from any vent, duct, or other device that may create an
arcial heat source. The sensor should then be wired back to the outdoor temperature sensor
terminal on the boiler. Refer to the wiring secons for more informaon.

This error code requires a manual reset
1- Loss of ame in operaon (625)
2- Ionizaon current has fallen below 0.8uA (854)
3- Ensure the boiler electrical connecon is properly grounded to the
ground source.
4- Monitor the gas pressure to the unit while in operaon. The gas
pressure should be within the limits specied in this manual.
5 - Check the ame signal on the display. It should be above 0.8uA when
the burner is lit. The ame current should be stable aer the boiler has
been ring for at least one minute and it is normally between 3 - 7uA. if
the ame current is less than 0.8uA, disassemble the burner door and
check the ionizaon probe quality and distance to the burner (clean if
necessary).

This error code will automacally reset if the issue is resolved within 10
minutes. Otherwise a manual reset is required.
1- Ensure the proper seng is being used for the ue pipe venng
material. If the ue temperature for the applicaon is higher than 149°F
(65C), vent material other than PVC must be used and the seng for
the ue gas temperature limit must be set to other on the controller
(SETUP-Boiler Setup).
2- The control will limit the ue temperature to 149°F (65°C) for PVC
pipe and 207°F (97°C) for other venng materials. The boiler will
automacally start to modulate when the vent temperature reaches
140F (60°C for PVC and 194°F (90°C) for other venng material. The
control will shut down and monitor the vent temperature for 10
minutes. If the temperature exceeds the value shown here aer 10
minutes the control will lock-out.
3- Check ue gas temperature resistance and compare to the value
listed on the resistance table
4- Ensure the correct gas type is used. If the unit is Natural Gas and
Propane gas is connected to the unit this will cause boiler overheang

Freeze Protecon (priority 1):
The electronic management system of the boiler includes protecon against frost. If the
water temperature falls below 41°F [5°C], the burner starts up and the boiler pump runs to provide
a water temperature of 46°F [8°C] + Boiler Oset 9°F [5°C] + Boiler Dierenal 20°F [11°C]. Once
the target temperature has been reached the burner will turn o, the boiler pump will connue to
run and turn o aer post purge period. This funcon only works if boiler is turned on, the gas
supply is ON and the water pressure is correct. NOTE: The boiler will not engage in freeze
protecon mode if there are any so or hard lockout error codes.
Service (priority 2):
When service mode is acvated, the relays are no longer energized and deenergized
according to the control state, but are set to a predened manual control state in accordance with
their funcons (For instance: QX1- Boiler Pump; QX2 - CH-1 Pump; QX3 -DHW pump). The relay
outputs are set to a state where heat is provided, independent of their hydraulic funcon. When a
service mode is acvated for a heat call, all three pumps will be energized. It is important to ensure
that there is sucient heat load connected to the appliance before operang the unit at full ring
rate. With service mode each pump can be run independently to either purge air from the system
or test the relays for proper operaon.
Domesc Hot Water (DHW) (priority 3):
The boiler can be connected to an indirect tank to provide domesc hot water (DHW). The
control allows for a tank sensor or aquastat (thermostat) connecon to the low voltage terminal.
The boiler is shipped with aquastat as a default seng to control an indirect tank. Ensure to set the
DHW temperature to match the seng of the mechanical aquastat installed on the tank. When a
tank sensor is connected, the DHW sensor opon on the boiler setup page needs to be changed to
sensor. The control has an oset parameters that will set the boiler supply temperature to a higher
temperature in order to meet the demand of the indirect tank (default is + 20°F [11°C]). For
instance if the indirect tank is set to 120°F, the boiler will supply 140°F to the indirect tank coil.

DHW Pump (QX3):
When either a sensor or aquastat is connected to the low voltage signal, the boiler will
acknowledge the demand and will run the DHW pump to sasfy the DHW demand. If an indirect
tank is not used, this pump can be assigned to run when there is a call for room thermostat 2.
When an indirect tank is piped on the system loop, there is an opon on the DHW setup page to
enable boiler pump to run during a DHW call. NOTE: It is crical to protect a low temperature zone
with a mixing valve when the boiler temperature for DHE is higher than the low temperature zone
setpoint.
Central Heang (CH) (priority 4):
Room Thermostat
There are two head demands connecons available on this control. These inputs commands
the boiler to provide hot water for central heang. Each demand has its own setpoint and outdoor
reset curves. The rst room thermostat connecon is enabled form the factory. The second room
thermostat is disabled from the factory. In case an indirect tank is not being used, the DHW pump
can be assigned for room thermostat 2 (CH-2 pump) from Setup Pump Setup page. When there are
mulple demands acve, the control will gives priority to the demand with the highest set point.
NOTE: It is very crical to protect a low temperature zone to avoid overheang or damages to the
heang system. For instance, Assume room thermostat 1 setpoint is 160°F, room thermostat 2
setpoint is 120°F, and both have a call for heat. The boiler will deliver a temperature of 160°F unl
both demands are sased or will deliver 120°F once demand from room thermostat 1 is sased.
Outdoor Reset Curve:
Outdoor reset is a built-in funcon to help maximize the eciency of the boiler. The design
of this funcon is to adjust the target temperature of the boiler relave to the outdoor ambient
temperature via the outdoor reset curve opons included in the boiler setup page. The outdoor
ambient temperature is observed via the provided outdoor temperature sensor. There are two
outdoor rest opons available on the setup page, one for each room thermostat connecons.
0-10VDC Input (Boiler Setpoint or Boiler Modulaon):
The boiler can be controlled and acvated via a Building Management System (BMS) using a
0-10VDC signal. There two possible opons to control the boiler via this signal: Boiler Setpoint and
Boiler Modulaon. These funcons are predened with two xed points (min. voltage / min.
setpoint or modulaon), (max. voltage / max. setpoint or modulaon). The request for heat
becomes acve when the applied voltage is 200mV and will remain acve as long as the voltage is a
minimum of 150 mV. NOTE: It is crical to keep the 0-10V input voltage wiring away from the line
voltage wiring to avoid induced voltage which may cause the boiler to be energized when not
desired. The following graphs are linear representaon of the 0-10V operaon.
background
Rinnai Commercial Boiler Installation and Operation Manual 109
Boiler Pump (QX1):
The boiler pump will run anyme there is a central heang demand. This pump will also run
during a freeze protecon or service mode. There is an opon in the controller to enable boiler
pump to run during a DHW demand (in case an indirect tank is piped on the system loop).
CH-1 Pump (QX2):
The CH-1 pump will run when there is a call for heat from room thermostat 1 or there is a
demand from 0-10V input with boiler modulaon opon. In case 0-10V input with boiler setpoint is
desired the Pump Assignment QX2 needs to be Q15 under Setup - Pump page.
Cascade:
When mulple boilers are installed they can be wired and programmed to work in a
cascade system. A maximum of eight units can be controlled from a single control. In this
applicaon one boiler would be assigned as a Master control and all others would be assigned as
follower controls. The Master control sequences the operaon of other members in the cascade
system using the eciency opmizaon control method. The room thermostat connecons, 0-10V
input, outdoor sensor, cascade system sensor get connected on the Master boiler. Once a call for
heat is received, the control will determine the system setpoint. Each boiler in the cascade system
will have a setpoint up to 20F [11C] higher than the system setpoint to account for heat loss on the
primary loop piping. Once the actual system temperature gets close to the target system
temperature each boiler setpoint will be lowered accordingly to maintain the required temperature
on the system loop.
Similar approach can be sued for DHW operaon. If the enre cascade system will be used
to sasfy DHW demand, the indirect tank sensor / aquastat only needs to be connected to the
Master boiler and will control the DHW demand accordingly. In this applicaon, the boiler
temperature for each unit will be the indirect tank setpoint + DHW oset + Cascade Setpoint
Compensaon. If desired, the DHW oset can be set to zero in this case. If only certain units are
intended for the DHW applicaon, there is a parameter in the setup-cascade page to set DHW as a
separate circuit. In this case each unit intended to be dedicated for DHW applicaon needs to have
DHW separate circuit parameter set to ON. If only one unit is dedicated for DHW applicaon either
a sensor or an aquastat can be used and must be connected on this specic unit. If more units are
dedicated for DHW, and aquastat must be used and connected in parallel to each unit. In this
applicaon, the boiler temperature for each unit will be the indirect tank setpoint + DHW oset.
To establish a cascade system:
1 Set the address of each unit under Setup Cascade page. The Master must be addressed as
Master, the followers can be addressed from Follower 1 thru Follower 7. NOTE: The
addressed must be unique otherwise there will be an error code.
2 Enable the cascade system sensor on the Master boiler ONLY. Connect the cascade system
to the master boiler low voltage signal. NOTE: The cascade sensor must be installed on the
system supply piping as close a possible to the low loss heater or closely spaced tees. The
cascade sensor (10kOhm) is surface mount type and it might need to be insulated in case
of heat loss.
3 Connect units to each other using 18 or 20 gauge wires (maximum total length for 18
gauge wire is 262  [80 m]; for 20 gauge wire is 131  [40 m]). The Master and last
follower units will take a pair of wires, all other units in between will take 2 pair of wires to
create a daisy chain connecon.
4 The units are set from the factory to rotate every 50 hours in order to balance the run
hours. All other parameters in the cascade setup are oponal depending on the system
applicaon.

Boiler Safety Features:
Gradient liming:
During operaon, if the boiler supply temperature is rising too quickly, the control will start to
modulate down and reduce the ring rate down to the lowest seng to prevent overheang (in
case of no ow condions).
Reverse ow detecon:
During operaon, the boiler will monitor both supply and return temperatures to ensure the return
temperature is not much higher than the supply temperature (in case of reverse ow or
malfuncon of either supply or return thermistors).
Water pressure monitoring
The boiler is equipped with a water pressure sensor to ensure the boiler operates safely.
The boiler will shutdown in case the water pressure is too high (>87 Psi [6 bar]) or too low (< 12 Psi
[0.8 bar]). The boiler will operate in reduced power mode in case the water pressure drops below
15 Psi [1 bar] and will return to normal once the water pressure exceeds 19 Psi [1.3 bar].
Supply Temperature, and Flue Temperature Supervision
The control monitors the boiler supply temperature thermistor, when this temperature
exceeds 190°F [88°C] the control will reduce the output power. If this temperature connues to rise
and exceeds 203°F [95°C] the control will shutdown the burner unl it cools o. The control will
shutdown and lockout if the supply temperature exceeds 2008°F [98°C] - manual reset required.
The ue temperature is monitored by a sensor located on the secondary heat exchanger.
There are two sengs on the controller to monitor this temperature based on the material used for
venng. The following table explains the limits and control behavior for each selecon. The boiler
will modulate to maintain the ue temperature below the sengs shown in the table below. In
case the temperature exceeds the maximum limit, the boiler will shutdown and run the fan in post-
purge mode. If the temperature drops within ten minutes the boiler will return to normal
operaon, otherwise it will go into a lockout state.

Air pressure switch, Burner door limit switch, and thermal fuse
The control is equipped with a pressure switch to monitor the vent pressure and
condensate trap water level. In case the pressure in the vent exceeds 4” WC or the condensate
trap water level is 4 inches above the air pressure switch connecon port the unit will shutdown
and go into an error state.
The boiler is equipped with a switch located on the burner door and thermal fuse located
on the back of the heat exchanger set to 500°F [260°C] , and 605°F [318°C], respecvely. These
switches prevents overheang in case of abnormal operaon of the appliance or premature
deterioraon of the insulaon disk located on the back of the combuson chamber.

Water Quality Conrm the water quality. Refer to secon 4.3.1 Water Quality Guidelinesto
determine if the water needs to be treated or condioned, and for complete
water quality guidelines. DHW must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals,
sand, dirt, or other contaminates. It is up to the installer to ensure the water
does not contain corrosive chemicals or elements that can aect or damage the
heat exchanger. Water that contains chemicals exceeding the levels required
aect and damage the heat exchanger. Replacement of the heat exchanger due
to water quality damage is not covered by the warranty.
Snow
Accumulaon
Verify the area around the ue terminal is free of snow and ice. The boiler will
not funcon properly if the combuson air or exhaust vent pipes are impeded
(blocked or parally blocked) by obstrucons.
Verify the condensate drain line is free of snow and ice. Ensure the line is not
blocked or clogged and that condensate is owing freely.
Freeze
Protecon
Freeze protecon for new or exisng systems must use glycol that is specially
formulated for this purpose. This includes inhibitors, which prevent the glycol
from aacking the metallic components. The glycol should be for mul-
metallic components. Check that the system uid is correct for the glycol
concentraon and inhibitor level. The system should be tested at least once a
year and as recommended by the producer of the glycol soluon.
Coastal Area
Installaons
Installaons located in or near coastal areas may require addional maintenance
due to corrosive airborne ocean salt. If corrosion is observed on the body of the
boiler, the boiler shall be inspected to ensure proper operaon and repaired or
replaced, if necessary.
Cleaning It is imperave that control compartments, burners, and circulang air
passageways of the boiler be kept clean. Check burner ame for proper color.
Once ignited, the ame must cover the surface of the burner. The ame must
burn with a clear, blue, stable ame. If the ame does not have this appearance,
complete the following steps:
Turn o and disconnect electrical power. Allow to cool.
Remove the front panel.
Use a vacuum to remove dust from the main burner and fan blades. Do not
use a wet cloth or spray cleaners on the burner. Do not use volale
substances such as benzene and thinners; they may ignite or fade the paint.
Inspect the combuson chamber and clean if needed. Follow the cleaning
procedure listed in this manual.
Condensate Trap Cleaning:
Inspect the condensate drain assembly inside the boiler and your external
drain system.
Remove any debris that may be present in the condensate removal system.

Freeze Protecon Operaon
The electronic management system of
the boiler includes protecon against frost.
When the boiler detects low outdoor ambient
temperatures, the boiler will begin its freeze
protecon operaon. When freeze protecon is
in operaon, the pump may circulate water
and/or the boiler may re to prevent the boiler
from freezing. Ensure power and gas are
supplied to the boiler for freeze protecon to
funcon. The internal freeze protecon will not
necessarily prevent the system piping from
freezing. If the water temperature falls below
41°F [5°C], the burner starts up and the boiler
pump runs to provide a water temperature of
46°F [8°C] + Boiler Oset 9°F [5°C] + Boiler
Dierenal 20°F [11°C].
Once the target temperature has been
reached the burner will turn o, the boiler
pump will connue to run and turn o aer
post purge period. This funcon only works if
boiler is turned on, the gas supply is ON and
the water pressure is correct. NOTE: The boiler
will not engage in freeze protecon mode if
there are any so or hard lockout error codes.
When the system needs to be
shutdown for extended periods of me, the
power and gas supply should be disconnected
from the boiler. The boiler and all system
piping should then be drained. Freezing
damage may occur if there is water remaining
in the boiler or system piping. The plumbing
lines should also be blown out via compressed
air.

This secon of the manual provides guidelines for the use of Modbus communicaon system with
Rinnai Commercial Boiler (RCB) appliances.
1 Disconnect the electrical power before beginning the process. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock, property/appliance damage, serious personal injury , or death.
2 Ensure to have a Modbus master device such as a Building Management System (BMS) or a
computer with Modbus master soware, and an RS-485 serial port or USB port with a
converter to RS-485.
3 Wire the BMS to the Modbus connecons on the low voltage terminals S13-S14-S15
labeled BMS (S13 - A; S14 - B; S15 - G).
4 On the boiler screen enter the SETUP page and click on BMS to access the Modbus
conguraon.
Modbus Address:
Addresses 1 - 20 (Default: 1) are free to be assigned to Modbus devices on the bus. Each
address can be assigned to ONLY one Modbus device on the bus.
Baud Rate:
All devices must have the same baud rate. The baud rate (communicaon speed) can be set on
the control display to 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 or default (115200) baud. The higher the value
the higher is the speed, but less number of devices can be connected and the cable length gets
shorter. This boiler, as well as any other device on the same bus and the Modbus master, must
have the same baud rate seng. Select the highest baud rate that oers the most reliable
communicaon performance over the bus. Some things that can aect communicaons are:
Long wire runs; Wire quality; A noisy electrical environment; The number of devices on the
bus. These condions may require using a lower baud rate.
Parity & Stop Bits:
All devices must have the same parity and stop bits. The parity & stop bits parameters of the
Modbus must be set to match the rest of the devices on the bus. Although it is common to set
serial devices to use no parity, seng the parity to even or odd may improve communicaons
reliability on all connected devices on the bus. This parameter has 6 possible selecons which
should be sucient to establish communicaon with other devices (Parity none - 1 stop bits;
Parity none - 2 stop bits; Parity eve - 1 stop bits; Parity even - 2 stop bits; Parity odd - 1 stop
bits; Parity odd - 2 stop bits).
Apply Sengs:
Click on apply sengs buon to save parameters aer adjustments.

appliances remaining connected to the common venng system are not in operaon.
1 Seal any unused openings in the common venng system.
2 Visually inspect the venng system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine
there is no blockage or restricon, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies which could
cause an unsafe condion.
3 Insofar as is praccal, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the
space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venng system are
located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the common venng system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods
and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
