WARNING

Clearance to Combustibles

Location of flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors close to the heater may cause fire or explosion and result in property damage, injury or death. Do not use, store or locate flammable or explosive objects, liquids or vapors in proximity of the heater.

The clearance to combustible material represents the minimum distance that must be maintained between the outer heater surface and a nearby surface. The stated clearance to combustibles represents a surface temperature of 90^ ( 50^ ) above room temperature.

It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that building materials with a low heat tolerance which may degrade at lower temperatures are protected to prevent degradation. Examples of low heat tolerance materials include vinyl siding, fabrics, some plastics, filmy materials, etc.

In locations used for the storage of combustible materials, signs must be posted to specify the maximum permissible stacking height to maintain the required clearances from the heater to the combustibles. Such signs must either be posted adjacent to the heater thermostats or in the absence of such thermostats in a conspicuous location.

In addition to stored or stationary material, consideration must also be given to moveable objects such as cranes, vehicles, and overhead doors, and structural objects such as electrical and gas lines, electrical fixtures, and sprinkler heads.

Heaters must be located an appropriate distance from sprinkler heads. This distance may be greater than the certified clearance to combustibles. Check the temperature rating of the sprinkler heads and locate heaters at a safe distance - in some instances the sprinkler heads may need to be replaced by higher temperature heads.

It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered.

• All piping must be installed according to applicable local and national codes
• A listed flexible connector (field supplied) must be installed between the heater and gas supply piping. For outdoor installation the connector must be in compliance with ANSI Z21.75 / CSA 6.27. An optional 3/8" x 24" black finish flexible gas connector (part number 903000012 - approved Indoor/Outdoor) is available from Rinnai.
• A drip-pocket must be provided in the gas piping at the inlet connection
• Provide a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the heater.
• On propane-fired units, a main line filter is recommended (field supplied)
• Piping joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases
• All piping joints must be tested for leaks with a soap and water solution.

CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL ANY GAS PIPING IN HEAT ZONES

7.1 GAS PRESSURE

The maximum supply pressure must be limited to 14"w.c. (0.5 psi). If the line pressure is above 14"w.c., then a separate pressure reducing regulator must be installed. The minimum pressure at the inlet to the heater regulator must be equal to or greater than 6.0"w.c. for natural gas and 11.0"w.c. for propane gas.

Proper manifold pressure must be established during commissioning, and will be maintained when the main burner is operating under the following supply pressure:

Table 5		LINE PRESSURE "w.c.		MANIFOLD PRESSURE "w.c. AT GAS VALVE TEST PORT
MODELS GAS TYPE	MINIMUM MAXIMUM
RSEP1S25X, RSEP1S35X	NATURAL GAS	6.0	14.0	5.0
	PROPANE GAS	11.0	14.0	10.0
RSEP2S50N (2-Stage)	NATURAL GAS (ONLY)	6.0	14.0	5.0 High; 3.0 Low

PROPER WIRING POLARITY MUST BE MAINTAINED, particularly when grouping the heaters in a zone. Total wiring distances of up to 200' must use minimum 16 gauge electrical wire, and wiring distances of over 200' must use minimum 14 gauge electrical wire. The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with local and national electrical codes. Malfunction of the heating system will result if the voltage varies by more than ±10%.

The heater can be controlled by a line voltage thermostat, a 24 volt thermostat or "off-on" switch. Total load of all heaters must be considered in determining the required contact rating of the controlling thermostat or switch.

9. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

a) Properly install gas line to all local codes
b) Mount heaters using non-combustible mounting hardware
c) Observe all minimum clearances as indicated: OUTDOOR in Table 1 and Figure 1, page 7; INDOOR in Table 3 and Figure 3, page 10.
d) Suggested mounting distances for comfort in Table 2 and Figure 2 are guidelines based on experience. Site conditions can allow for some deviation from these distances.

WARNING: This heater must be rigidly mounted to prevent movement from wind force. When using Mounting Brackets, ensure that anchoring to the structure is of sufficient strength, integrity and workmanship, to support the weight of the heater and any other loads such as snow and wind force.

e) Connect heater to the main gas line. An approved 1/2" flexible connector (field supplied - available as an option from Rinnai) must be used to absorb heater and gas line expansion and any vibration - check local code requirements.

f) 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).

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

11. 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.

12. SERVICING GUIDE (Also refer to Troubleshooting Guide on page 29)

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

Indication of back firing:

• Loud ignition noise, followed by distinct hissing sound.
  • Little or no visible burning on the ceramic tile surface.
• Combustion is taking place inside the burner body.

WARNING: If heater backfires during operation, it must be turned off immediately.

Cause & remedy of back firing:

• Improper gas pressure entering the venturi tube: check pressure.
• Breakage of a ceramic tile and or gasketing: - replace damaged part.
• Faulty sealing of the ceramic tile to the burner body, caused by breakdown of gasket material: contact your local distributor or contractor.

HEATER SERVICING POSITION:

WHEN USING WALL MOUNT BRACKET 903000024 (see Figure 4 next page), the heater may need to be rotated 'up' so that access is provided to the service access door at the rear side of the heater that is against the wall.

13. VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR INDOOR APPLICATION

WARNING

NING Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, injury or death. Heating system venting 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.

Exhaustor 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

16. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND THERMOSTAT CONTROL

All electrical installations must meet local and the latest edition ANSI/NFPA N0 70 in the U.S.A.. Single heater requires 24 Volt, 60 Hz electrical transformer sized at 40VA. If multiple heaters are connected to a single transformer, the proper transformer is 24 Volt, 60 Hz, sized at 40VA for the first heater, and 20VA each for all subsequent additional heaters. For example, four heaters wired together (parallel), require a transformer of 100 VA. It is recommended to install at most 2 heaters per zone for best comfort control and economy of operation. PROPER WIRING POLARITY MUST BE MAINTAINED, particularly when grouping the heaters in a zone.

Total wiring distances of up to 200' must use minimum 16 gauge electrical wire, and wiring distances of over 200' must use minimum 14 gauge electrical wire. The heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local electrical code. Malfunction of the heating system will result if the voltage varies by more than ±10%.

The heater can be controlled by a line moisture proof thermostat "off-on" switch, or Remote Control. Total load of all heaters must be considered in determining the required contact rating of the controlling thermostat or switch.

Two-Stage Model RSEP2S50N requires one of the Illuminated Switch Gang 2-Stage Control

17. 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 ensure 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

MULTIPURPOSE METER

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.

18. 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 step, 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
