Rinnai RSE1S35SP - Venting - 1

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - Venting - 2

Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, injury or death. When used indoors, this heater is indirectly vented from the space. Venting must be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/

NFPA 54 in USA) and as indicated in this manual.

Refer to Section 14

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - Venting - 3

WARNING

Start-up 'Smoke' & Discoloration Condition

During start-up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of the heater may create a small amount of smoke during the initial period of operation. This condition is normal and temporary.

Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to adequately clear any ‘smoke’ from the space.

Notify site management and safety personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly activated.

WARNING

Heater Discoloration / Staining

Stainless Steel & Painted Finishes: Surface discoloration or staining will occur on any heater body due to heat. Surface finish discoloration due to heat is a normal occurrence. Surface discoloration does not affect the operation or performance of the heater nor Rinnai's component warranties. (Refer to Section 12: Heater Finish & Appearance, page 22)

Some discoloration can result from the deposit of ambient air-borne particulate or gases from within the space that have passed through combustion to create 'smoke'. The combustion of fuel gas in a clean environment will not cause smoke discoloration deposits.

from the heater to any vehicles parked below the heater. Overhead heaters shall be installed at least 8 ft (2.4 m) above the floor.

4. INSTALLATIONS OTHER THAN SPACE HEATING

Use for process or other applications that are not space heating will void the C.S.A. certification and product warranty. Process application requires field inspection and/or certification by local authorities having jurisdiction. Process application design should be provided by local experienced process design experts.

5. PRE INSTALLATION SURVEY

It is recommended that a full heating design including heat loss calculation be conducted on the structure or area to be heated. Heater sizing and placement must consider available mounting height, sources of greatest heat loss, and obstructions on the site. The certified clearances to combustibles with respect to stored material, moveable objects (cranes, vehicles, lifts, overhead doors, etc), structural components, and sprinkler system heads. Consideration must also be given to ventilation fan placement (outdoor heaters do not require ventilation). Carefully survey the area to be heated, and for best results place heaters in the coldest area(s) and at sufficient spacing to provide uniform radiant heat coverage.

Installation must conform with all local, state, provincial and national code requirements including the current latest edition ANSI Z223.1 (NFPA 54) in the U.S.A. The latest edition Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A. must also be observed.

The heating system must have gas piping of the correct diameter, length, and arrangement to provide for and satisfy the total system input. A layout drawing is necessary to calculate properly sized gas supply piping.

6. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Handle heater with care during installation and service to avoid scratching or damaging the surface finish.

NOTE: MOUNT HEATER AT MAXIMUM 30° ANGLE TO AVOID DAMAGE THE HEATER MUST BE RIGIDLY MOUNTED TO THE STRUCTURE TO PREVENT WIND FORCE MOVEMENT.

6.1 MOUNTING CLEARANCES

WARNING: The heater must be rigidly mounted to the structure to prevent wind force movement.

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - WARNING: The heater must be rigidly mounted to the structure to prevent wind force movement. - 1

Mounting Bracket anchoring to the structure must be of sufficient strength, integrity and workmanship, to support the weight of the heater and any additional loads such as wind force and snow. Mount heater up to a maximum 30^ angle.

  • If possible heat from two or more sides of control zones to provide most uniform comfort
  • Connect heater to the main gas line. An approved 1/2" flexible connector (field supplied - available as an option from Rinnai) may be used to absorb heater and gas line expansion and any vibration - check local code requirements.
  • Check gas line for leaks by using soap test or gas meter test. Ensure gas pressure meets the requirements outlined in Section 7.1 (above).

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - WARNING: The heater must be rigidly mounted to the structure to prevent wind force movement. - 2

WARNING: When testing the main gas line pressure up to 0.5 psig, ensure that the isolation valve and combination gas valve are "OFF", otherwise damage to the combination gas valve will result. When testing main gas line in excess of 0.5 psig the appliance and shut off valve must be disconnected or isolated from the gas supply piping system during any such pressure testing. Gas supply to the heater must be regulated to be maximum 0.5 psig (14"w.c.) and minimum values listed in Table 3 above in Section 7.1

  • All wiring must comply to local and national codes. The heater requires 24Vac power supply. The heater system zone requires a field supplied 120/24Vac transformer rated at 40VA for the first heater plus 20VA for each additional heater in the zone. Ensure proper electrical rating in the system by checking voltage at ignition module terminals. To avoid system malfunction, the voltage must be within 10% of required 24Vac (21.6 Volts to 26.4 Volts), and correct polarity must be maintained throughout the system.
  • Test-fire heating system - follow lighting instructions listed below and/or on the heater label.

11. LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Ensure the correct voltage is supplied, gas supply lines have been properly purged, and gas valve is switched to the ON position.
  2. Turn on power to heater (high or low rate for 2-stage heater), set thermostat (if applicable) to above ambient temperature, the heater will light.
  3. If heater does not light: Turn off power to heater, turn gas valve to OFF position.
  4. Wait for five minutes and repeat steps above. If heater does not light after three attempts, call a qualified service technician.

11.1 SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

a) For temporary shutdown, turn off the electrical supply circuit.
b) For complete shutdown, turn off the electrical circuit and turn gas control knob to the "OFF" position.

12. HEATER FINISH AND APPEARANCE

All models are constructed with a marine grade stainless steel enclosure cabinet, with optional finish of stainless steel, or high temperature black coating.

Stainless Steel Enclosure Heater: ALL stainless steel heaters will discolor or stain to some extent due to the impact of heat. This is a normal occurrence and does not effect heater performance or the warranty of components.

High Temperature Coating Finish Heater: Exterior heater surfaces, including any stainless steel components, are coated with a black high emissive coating that helps preserve the aesthetic appearance of the heater and improves the radiant heat output.

Handle the heater with care during installation and service to avoid scratching or damaging the finish.

With extended use, the finish coat will discolor and deteriorate to some extent due to the impact of heat, the deposit of ambient air born particles, and environmental factors.

These are normal occurrences caused by heat, products of combustion, and the environment, and in no way affect the operation / performance of the heater or Rinnai's warranty.

OCCASIONAL PAINT FINISH MAINTENANCE:

Wear protective gloves, eyewear, and breathing mask. Ensure that power to the heater is disconnected prior to maintenance and the application of any finish coating. Use a fine steel wool to remove blemishes or unsightly deposit, and smooth the outer surface. The heater finish coat can be touched up using a high temperature coating such as Thermalox Stove Paint - Flat Black-1200°F (650°C) or similar high temperature stove paint that is compatible with the original finish. No other coating or non-high-temperature paint finish may be applied to the heater – use of an incompatible finish coating will create a hazardous condition such as fire or noxious fumes, damage the heater, and void the warranty.

Apply the touch up finish with the heater in its operating orientation (facing down). Ensure that overspray does not reach or effect the egg crate grilles and the burner tile surface - mask the heater grilles during any re-finishing. Remove the masking immediately after re-finish and prior to operation of the heater.

13. SERVICING GUIDE (Also refer to Troubleshooting Guide on page 30)

Servicing of heater is essential for continued efficient operation. Servicing should be carried out annually by a qualified gas service technician as follows:

  • Clean the ceramic tiles with compressed air. Avoid directing air stream at gasket material between tile and heater body. The air pressure must be lower than 20 psig.
  • Clean venturi tube with compressed air. The air pressure must be lower than 20 psig.
  • Ensure gas orifice is clean and the heater cabinet is free of any debris

  • Faulty sealing of the ceramic tile to the burner body, caused by damaged gasket material: contact your local distributor or contractor.

14. VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR INDOOR APPLICATION

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR INDOOR APPLICATION - 1

text_image WARNING Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, injury or death. Heating system ventilation must be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA).

This heater is approved for unvented (indirect venting) application. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation to supply combustion air and to dilute the products of combustion in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes. A balanced exhaust / inlet air system is required to ensure that a negative air condition is not created. See below for a summary of exhaust capacity requirements by the national codes in the U.S.A.

Air Supply: A “loose” building may not require any additional air supply if infiltration rates are sufficient to offset exhaust volume. However, for “tighter” buildings, or if air movement is stagnant in an area, air can typically be supplied via inlet(s) with an area of 1 sq. in. per 1,000 Btuh input (22 sq cm per kW). Locate air inlet(s) up at the level of the heaters to avoid cold drafts at work level, and effectively supply combustion and dilution air to the heaters and balance the system.

Heater Zoning: Exhausters are sized according to the input requirements of each controlled zone of heaters. Multiple smaller zones are usually more effective in both comfort and ventilation control than one large zone. Maximum zone size is limited by the total input that can be handled by the capacity of an exhauster, and by the proximity of the exhauster to heaters in the zone.

Exhauster Location & Proximity: Exhaust must be located as high as practicable in the structure above the level of the heater(s) to effectively dilute and remove the warm (rising) products of combustion. The exhauster should be as centrally located as practicable in the zone of heaters. Rinnai recommends a maximum 6:1 ratio of the horizontal distance between the exhauster and the furthest heater in a zone, to the height the heaters are mounted above the floor. For example, if heaters are mounted 20 ft above the floor, then the exhaust fan

should be located no more than 120 ft from the furthest heater in the zone. Sufficient air supply must be provided.

Exhaustor Capacity:

USA: Natural or mechanical means shall be provided to supply and exhaust at least 4ft^3/min/1000Btuh ( 0.38m^3/min/kW ) Natural Gas input of installed heaters [ 4.5ft^3/min/1000Btuh ( 0.43m^3/min/kW ) Propane input]. Some local codes may require an interlock to a dedicated exhaust fan. Consult your local code and ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for all venting requirements and practices.

15. REMOTE CONTROL OPTION (Single-Stage Models ONLY)

Patio Heaters can be operated using a portable Remote Control Option:

  • 903000030 Remote Receiver Kit (field installed in the heater)
    • 903000031 Remote 4-Button Handset Transmitter

  • The Handset Transmitter is the master component for system setup and operation. It is recommended to have a backup/spare “twin” handset transmitter in case one is misplaced

  • Handsets plug together to "twin" a backup handset with the same codes as master
  • In the event of any concern for breach of control security (lost handset), master codes can easily be changed in existing handset(s) on site
  • Unique random signal codes ensures no interference with any neighboring systems

• 903000032 Wireless Keypad Transmitter (wall mounted at patio)

  • Control up to four heater zones using unique PIN's
  • Requires a Handset Transmitter as master code controller

- Quick Setup instruction sheets accompany the Remote Receiver Kit and the Handset Transmitter for installation and programming of the system.

Layout and Control:

• Each heater requires its own receiver (903000030)
• Each handset transmitter has 4 channels and can control up to 4 individual heat zones
- Multiple receivers can be programmed to one common transmitter channel (button)

- Multiple heaters can be simultaneously activated in one heating zone with one transmitter button

- If more than 4 heating zones are required, then more than one master handset transmitter is required; two master handsets can control up to 8 heating zones,

Instructions (continued)

5. Multiple Transmitters

Each transmitter comes factory programmed with 4 random codes, one per button.

Any other transmitter has 4 different unique random codes.

The first transmitter that is used to program the active codes into heater receivers acts as the "master" transmitter.

Any additional transmitter that is purchased to operate the same heaters (receivers) must have the master codes transferred from each button on the master transmitter to the respective button on the new/additional transmitter.

It's a simple and straightforward procedure:

■ Connect the master transmitter with active code to the new transmitter using the programming connector (fig. 3A).
- Press and hold a selected channel button on the master transmitter with the active code (fig. 3B). The light on the transmitter illuminates.
■ Press and hold the respective channel button on the new transmitter (fig. 3C). The light on the transmitter initially starts blinking and then illuminates continuously after 1-2 sec. Code transfer is completed between those buttons.
■ Repeat above procedure for each active button.
■ Programming connector can be removed and both transmitters are now active masters that can operate the heaters.

5. Changing the Code on a Transmitter

If you lose a transmitter, there may be concern that an unauthorized person who finds it could now activate your system.

To create a new 'master' transmitter using an existing back-up transmitter, the factory preset codes can be changed as follows:

■ Connect the programming connector into one of the side sockets of the transmitter.
■ Short one of the outer pins of the programming connector with the middle pin.
■ Press and hold the respective channel button. The light will blink rapidly for approx. 3 to 5 seconds. Release the button after the light illuminates continuously.
■ Repeat the process for each active channel button. Then remove the programming connector.

■ The heater receivers will now need to be reprogrammed to the new master transmitter codes.

Step 2: Mount the Keypad (Figure 1)

■ Choose location for mounting your Keypad Control.
■ Using mounting holes at top and bottom of the mounting spacer as a guide, mark hole locations and then drill two 1/8" pilot holes.
- Secure spacer to the mounting surface with the (2) 1/8" x 1-3/8" screws provided. For mounting surfaces that are not made of wood, alternate anchoring means may be needed.
■ Snap the Keypad Control into the spacer.
■ Turn the Keypad Lock on the bottom of the spacer clockwise using a coin to lock the Keypad into the mounting spacer. Remember to unlock the Keypad to remove it in future.

Step 3: Using Keypad Control

Familiarize all staff members with these procedures

Switching On the Keypad Illumination

■ Press the LIGHT key. The keypad illumination turns on for 5 seconds.

Turning a Heater Zone "ON/OFF": PIN + Enter key

PLEASE NOTE: High intensity (ceramic burner) type heaters will ignite in seconds, and reach full IR output within 5 minutes. Tube type heaters, have a built in pre-purge that delays ignition for 30 seconds after turning 'On'. A tube heater reaches full IR output in 15 to 20 minutes.

■ Enter a 4-digit PIN (programmed in Step 1) then press the ENTER key. Heater ignition sequence will begin in the zone associated with that PIN.
■ Keypad Control will remain active and LED will flash for approximately 18 seconds after pressing the ENTER key. During this time, the heaters can be stopped by pressing any button (except the LIGHT button).
■ IMPORTANT: Wait 18 seconds until the LED stops flashing before entering the PIN to activate another zone of heaters. When the LED is no longer flashing, enter the unique PIN + ENTER for the next heater zone.
■ Repeat the PIN + ENTER key sequence to turn "Off" a heater zone. Wait 18 seconds between zone shut-downs.

Note:

If an invalid PIN is entered 3 times in a row, the Keypad Control automatically shuts off to prevent tampering or unauthorized use. After 2 minutes, the Keypad Control is active again.

"Light" function to switch a heater zone "ON/OFF"

■ To turn a heater zone "On", press the "Light" key followed by the ENTER key.
■ Repeat the key sequence to turn "Off" a heater zone

Changing a PIN

■ Press and hold "key 0" on the keypad for 3 seconds until the LED on the keypad blinks rapidly.
■ Enter the PIN which is to be changed (erased) followed by the ENTER key.
■ Enter the new 4-digit PIN followed by the ENTER key. The LED on the keypad will turn on (not flash) for 2 seconds.
■ The Keypad Control is now ready for use again with the new pin (Old PIN is erased and no longer valid).

Clearing the Memory

■ This procedure is required if a new master handset and codes are set up for system control.
■ Press and hold the LIGHT key on the keypad for 3 seconds until the LED on the keypad blinks rapidly.
■ Enter the PIN 9-9-9-9.
■ Release LIGHT key. The code memory is cleared. The LED on the keypad will illuminate for 2 seconds.

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - Clearing the Memory - 1

text_image Figure 3. Battery Replacing 2 Batteries 3V, CR 2032 Backplate

■ Always replace BOTH CR 2032 batteries.
■ During battery replacement, the Keypad will remember the programmed codes and PINs.
■ Use a coin to turn the lock key on the bottom of the spacer counterclockwise and remove the Keypad from the spacer.
■ Release the backplate of the Keypad (4 Phillips screws).
■ Remove old batteries.
■ Install 2 new 3V batteries, CR 2032. Match polarity designation. Test operation.
■ Reinstall the backplate on Keypad, and Keypad to spacer.

For protection of keypad, keep cover closed when not in use.

FCC Certified: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this devicem may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this devicem must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

16. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR FENWAL 35-60 DSI CONTROL

Start up - Heat Mode:

On a call for heat the Fenwal 35-60 control will reset, perform a self-check routine, flash the diagnostic LED for up to four seconds. The gas valve and spark are energized commencing the trial for ignition period. When flame is detected during the trial for ignition, spark is shutoff immediately and the gas valve remains energized. The thermostat and main burner flame are constantly monitored to assure the system continues to operate properly. When the thermostat is satisfied and the demand for heat ends, the gas valve is de-energized.

Flame Failure - Multi Trial Model:

Should the main burner fail to light, or the flame is not detected during the first trial for ignition period, the gas valve is de-energized and the control goes through an interpurge delay before another ignition attempt. The control will attempt two additional ignition trials before going into lockout and the valve relay is de-energized.

Recovery from lockout requires a manual reset by either resetting the thermostat or removing 24 volts for a period of 5 seconds. If the thermostat is still calling for heat after one hour the control will automatically reset and attempt to ignite the burner again.

Flame Failure - Re-Ignition:

If the established flame signal is lost while the burner is operating, the control will respond within 0.8 seconds. The HV spark will be energized for a trial ignition period in an attempt to relight the burner.

If the burner does not light the control will make two more attempts to relight the burner before de-energizing the gas valve. If the burner does not relight, the control will go into lockout as noted above in “Failure to light”. If flame is re-established, normal operation resumes. Multi-try models will allow three trials for ignition including interpurge delay between trials.

Flame current is the current which passes through the flame from the sensor to ground. The minimum flame current necessary to keep the Fenwal 35-60 system from lockout is 0.7 microamps ( A). To measure the flame current, connect analog DC microammeter to the FC-FC+ terminals.

Meter should read 0.7 A or higher. If the meter reads below "0" on scale, meter leads are reversed. Disconnect power and reconnect meter leads for proper polarity.

Rinnai RSE1S35SP - Flame Failure - Re-Ignition: - 1

text_image MULTIPURPOSE METER USE MICROAMP SCALE RED (+) BLACK (-) FC- FC+

Cautions:

  1. The ceramic insulator of the igniter assembly should not be in or close to the flame.
  2. The electrode assembly should not be disassembled and care must be used in making minor gap adjustment. The spark electrode should have a gap spacing of 1/8"-3/16" (3.12±0.81 mm). If this spacing is not correct, the assembly must be carefully adjusted.
  3. Exceeding the temperature limits can cause nuisance lockouts and premature electrode failure.

The control must be secured in an area that will experience a minimum of vibration and remain below the maximum operating temperature of 160^ F.

17. SPARK IGNITION CIRCUIT

The step-up transformer in the ignition control provides spark ignition at 30,000 volts (open circuit). To check the spark ignition circuit, proceed as follows.

1 Shut off gas supply to the gas control
2 Disconnect the ignition cable at the ignition control stud terminal to isolate the circuit from the spark igniter or igniter/sensor
3 Prepare a short jumper lead, using heavily insulated wire such as ignition cable

CAUTION

In the next steps, DO NOT allow fingers to touch either the stripped end of the jumper or the stud terminal. This is a very high voltage circuit and electrical shock can result.

1 Perform this test immediately upon energizing the system before the ignition control goes into safety lockout and interrupts the spark circuit. Touch one end of the jumper firmly to the ignition control GND terminal. (DO NOT remove the existing ground lead.) Slowly move the other end of the jumper wire toward the stud terminal on the ignition control to establish a spark.
2 Pull the wire away from the stud and note the length of gap at which spark discontinues.
3 A spark length of 1/8 in. (3mm) or more indicates satisfactory voltage output. If no arc can be established, or the maximum spark is less than 1/8 in. (3mm), and power to the ignition control input terminals was proved, replace the ignition control.
