FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
Congratulations on purchasing the Technologically Advanced, Temperature Controlled,  
Rinnai Hot Water System.  
xꢀ The Rinnai Infinity 16i will NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. As long as electricity,  
water, and gas supplies are connected, hot water is available when hot water taps are  
open.  
xꢀ Built into the main micro-processor is the facility to LIMIT THE MAXIMUM  
TEMPERATURE of the hot water supplied. The water temperature may be set to  
various temperatures. This is particularly useful when the hot water unit is installed  
where young children or the infirm may be using the hot water. If required, the  
temperature can be changed via the control pad on the front of the unit or with a  
localised controller. For further information, please contact Rinnai.  
xꢀ Rinnai Infinity internal units are powered flue appliances. This makes them  
COMPACT, saving both floor and wall space.  
xꢀ The temperature of outgoing hot water is CONSTANTLY MONITORED by a BUILT-  
IN SENSOR. If the temperature of the outgoing hot water rises to more than 55°C the  
burner is shut OFF and only turned ON again when the temperature falls to below the  
selected temperature.  
xꢀ The burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and extinguishes  
when the tap is closed. IGNITION IS ELECTRONIC, so there is no pilot light. When  
the hot water tap is off, no gas is used.  
xꢀ The 16i has a built in controller on the front of the unit for easy control. Two additional  
external temperature controllers can be mounted remotely from the heater. This offers  
the following additional features:  
Localised temperature setting.  
Diagnostic message.  
Error Codes.  
xꢀ Temperatures selected at the controllers are retained in the SYSTEM MEMORY  
when the controller gives up priority or the system is turned off. Temperatures over  
550C will revert to 550C when power and/or priority is regained.  
xꢀ Operating NOISE LEVEL IS VERY LOW.  
xꢀ ERROR MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED on the Temperature Controllers, assisting  
with service.  
xꢀ FROST PROTECTION device built in as standard.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young children and the infirm. The  
water heater allows you to control the temperature of your hot water to safe levels.  
Water temperature over 50ºC can cause severe  
burns instantly or even death from scalding.  
Children, disabled and the elderly are at the  
highest risk of being scalded by excessively hot  
water.  
Always test the temperature of the water before  
bathing or showering.  
Burns from hot water taps can result in very  
severe injuries to young children.  
Hot water at 65°C can severely burn a child in less  
than half a second. At 50°C it takes five minutes.  
Burns can occur when children are exposed  
directly to hot water or when they are placed into a  
bath which is too hot.  
Do stay with children  
whenever they are in the bathroom.  
xꢀ Consider child—resistant taps  
Do take them out of the bathroom if  
you need to answer the phone or  
door.  
or inexpensive tap covers, both  
of which prevent a child’s hand  
from turning on the tap.  
Do test the temperature of the water  
with your elbow before placing your  
child in the bath.  
xꢀ Consider reducing the  
temperature of the water  
supplied to the hot tap to 500C.  
Do make sure that the tap is turned  
off tightly.  
DO  
This approach can be extremely  
valuable because it requires a  
one time action for a long term  
reduction in risks of scalds.  
This type of automatic protection  
is important during times when a  
parent or carer has been  
Do consider setting your Rinnai  
Infinity or HD50i at a maximum  
temperature of 500C.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Always check water temperature before  
use.  
Hot water may go cold without warning at  
very low water flows (less than 3 l/min.)  
OFF  
Refer to warning about hot water on  
page 16 for important safety information.  
The Infinity 16i controls the water tem-  
perature automatically. For high tempera-  
tures it may reduce the flow. The water  
from the hot tap may be reduced after  
the temperature shown on the remote  
control is raised. The water flow may also  
vary with the temperature of the incoming  
water supply.  
If freezing temperatures  
are expected, turn off the  
water and gas, and drain  
the water heater.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS  
The purpose of a Temperature Controller is to enable the user to have complete control  
over the hot water supply. Used correctly, the Infinity will supply hot water at the  
temperature selected, even when the water flow is varied, or when more than one tap is  
used. Adjustments to the operation of your hot water unit can be made with any of the  
Temperature Controllers. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed.  
Up to three Temperature Controllers can be fitted with the Infinity 16i. One of these  
controllers comes as standard mounted on the water heater. Additional Temperature  
Controllers are an optional extra.  
The controllers have temperature selection, water flow volume, and water supply  
temperature functions.  
Various water temperatures (°C) can be selected as follows:  
35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 50, 55, 600C  
750C can be set on the dip switches.  
When the remote is turned on the temperature will default to 400C.  
While the hot water is running, the maximum selectable temperature will be 48°C. This  
provides additional safety for the consumer.  
Suggested temperatures are:  
Kitchen 50°C - 60°C; Bathroom 39°C - 43°C  
These temperatures are suggested starting points for selection. You may find higher or  
lower temperatures are more comfortable. Maintaining lower temperatures helps to save  
energy. To obtain water temperatures lower than 35°C simply add cold water.  
Up to three controllers can be used for one Infinity 16i. When multiple temperature  
controllers are used the only remote that can change the temperature is the one with  
priority. This is shown by the lit priority indicator. When the Kitchen Controller has  
priority the other remote’s priority indicator will go out. When the Bathroom Controller  
has priority the other remote’s priority indicator will flash. A different remote can only  
take priority of the system by pushing the priority button when the priority lamp is out.  
This means that while the Bathroom Controller has priority no one else can alter the  
temperature.  
To take priority with the Kitchen Controller from the Bathroom Controller the priority  
button on Bathroom Controller must be pressed to give priority away.  
The temperature selected by the controller with priority will be available to all outlets.

ERROR MESSAGES  
Rinnai water heaters have the ability to check their own operation continuously. If a fault  
occurs, an error code will flash on the Digital Display if you have temperature controllers  
installed. This assists with diagnosing the fault, and may enable you to overcome a  
problem without a service call. Please quote the code displayed when enquiring about  
service. Some of these remedies can not be checked by the user because they require  
the front to be taken off of the unit. They are included so that you can give the

OPERATION PRINCIPLE  
HOT WATER SUPPLY OPERATION  
Ignition  
Press ON/OFF Button of Remote Controller to turn on unit and the remote control-  
ler display and priority LED will light up.  
When a hot water tap is opened the Water Flow Sensor revolves and sends a pulse  
signal to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB.) When the PCB detects water flow it be-  
gins the ignition process with the Combustion Fan Motor starting first.  
Once the air proving is made the Main Solenoid Valve and Change-over Solenoid  
Valves are opened and the Burner is lit by the sparking Igniter.  
Temperature Setting  
With the Temperature Control Buttons on the remote controller the outlet tempera-  
ture can be set from 37-60͠. When the temperature set point is above 50͠ the  
High Temperature Indicator glows.  
Temperature can not be set above 50͠ while hot water is in use.  
Standby  
When the hot water tap is closed the PCB no longer receives a pulse signal from the  
Water Flow Sensor. The PCB shuts the Main Solenoid Valveand Change-over So-  
lenoid Valves and the Burner extinguishes.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All 2M2anuals Search And Download.  
MAIN COMPONENTS  
1. Gas Control Unit  
1.1 Modulating Valve  
This device is used by the PCB to adjust the volume of gas to the burner in proportion to the  
volumetric flow rate of water in order to maintain a supply of constant temperature hot water  
amid changes in water flow rates and incoming temperatures.  
1.2 Change-over Solenoid Valves  
Additional solenoid valves are included to section the burner and stage the control in 3  
steps. This gives the Burner more steady combustion at the required capacity and allows  
the water heater to operate at very low flow rates and temperature rises.  
2. Flame Rod  
Monitors combustion characteristics inside the combustion chamber. If the flame fails, gas  
supply is stopped. Works through rectification of the combustion flame. An AC voltage is  
supplied to the flame rod. Electrons can only pass from the rod to the flame, and never from  
the flame to the rod, so the resultant DC current is used to prove combustion. When the DC  
current is present the burner has normal combustion, if the DC current is not present the unit  
shuts the solenoid valve.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All 2M3anuals Search And Download.  
MAIN COMPONENTS  
3. Thermal Fuse  
The thermal fuse is an electric link which must be intact for the unit to operate. If the  
thermal fuse reaches a set temperature it will melt and the unit will shut down. The ther-  
mal fuse must be replaced if it melts. It is to protect against over heating and heat ex-  
changer splits where water may leak out and be super heated into steam.  
4. Overheat Safety (Bi-metal Switch)  
This Bi-metal Switch is fixed at the bend of the Heat Exchanger hot water outlet. If the  
temperature outlet from the heat exchanger reaches 950C the bi metal switch will open  
and the solenoid valve circuit is broken. This will cease combustion in case of overheat.  
5. Combustion Fan  
The combustion fan supplies primary air into the wing burners and secondary air up  
through the Bunsen style burners. The fan is DC low voltage and the speed is controlled  
by the PCB depending on the hot water supply and temperature. The fan speed is com-  
pared to the current required to attain that speed for air proving. If the fan current is over  
or under the parameters for the given speed the unit will shut down on air proving.  
6. Water Volume Servo with Water Flow Sensor  
6.1 Water Flow Sensor  
Water flow sensing is done with a small turbine that spins when water travels through it  
in the correct direction. Each of the four fins on the turbine has a small magnet on it.  
Outside of the valve there is a magnetic sensor that detects the speed that the turbine is  
revolving. The revolution speed is input to the PCB which relates this speed to the water  
flow volume and determines whether it is sufficient for ignition.  
6.2 Water Volume Flow Servo  
The water volume is adjusted by opening and closing the water flow valve with the servo  
motor. This will limit the maximum hot water flow to 20 L/min, and will limit the water  
flow further when the burner is at high fire to ensure the temperature setpoint it met.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - POSITIONING  
Appliance Location.  
The wall or structure on which it is mounted must be capable of supporting the weight of  
the appliance (15 kg) and associated pipework. Ensure that suitable screws or bolts are  
used to secure the water heater to the wall. Bracket and fixing hole locations are shown  
on the template included. The top bracket has a keyhole slot so that the appliance can  
be hung on one screw, and then the other fixings can be added to secure the unit.  
The heater must be installed in the vertical position with the gas and water connections  
on the underside pointing vertically downward. The heater must be installed internally.  
The appliance should be placed as close as practical to the most frequently used hot  
water outlet point or points to minimise the delay time for hot water delivery. For  
installations where the distance between the unit and hot water outlet points is  
considerable, the appliance can also be fitted in a 'flow and return system' which  
minimises the waiting time for hot water delivery. Alternatively, multiple appliances can  
be strategically placed to service outlet points with minimal delay time. Contact Rinnai or  
your supplier for further information.  
When positioning appliance the flue terminal clearances must be in accordance with lo-  
cal requirements. Consideration should be given to other appliances, openings, and  
boundaries. Multiple heater installations can be installed with the heaters manifolded  
together. The minimum distance required between the heaters may then be based on  
the necessary clearances between flue terminals.  
The appliance must be in an accessible location. Sufficient clearances shall allow  
access to, and removal of, all serviceable components. The following clearances should  
be followed.  
If the unit is installed on a  
combustible wall such as wood  
there must be a 45mm gap  
between the wall and the back  
of the unit. Brackets are avail-  
able to space the unit this far  
off of the wall.  
In case the side wall next to  
the appliance is flammable  
material there must be at least  
50mm between the side of the  
appliance and the combustible  
wall.  
The illustration shows the  
clearances necessary for  
servicing, on a non-  
combustible wall.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - CONNECTIONS  
Water Supply.  
Where the water supply pressure exceeds 7 bar, an approved pressure reducing  
device is required at the inlet of the appliance. To achieve the maximum rated flow a  
minimum water supply pressure of 1.1 bar is required at the appliance inlet. The unit will  
operate at lower supply pressures but the maximum flow rate will not be achieved. Contact  
Rinnai or your supplier for 'gravity fed' or 'low pressure' hot water installations.  
Water pipe sizing and layout should be designed correctly to ensure the given water flows  
from the appliance are available. All hot water pipework should be insulated to optimise  
maximum performance and energy efficiency.  
Water Connection.  
Connect the hot and cold water supply pipes as shown on the following page. An approved  
isolation valve and strainer MUST be installed in the cold water inlet pipe. An approved iso-  
lation valve and draining point should be installed in the hot water outlet pipe. There must  
be a union or release fitting on the heater side of the isolation valves. An unvented kit to lo-  
cal regulations must be installed in the pipework when the system is closed (i.e. has a flow  
and return, or tank.)  
Positions of the cold water inlet, hot water outlet and gas connections are shown on page  
41.  
If the heater is in a hard water area a suitable water conditioning device should be installed  
to prevent the build up of limescale within the heat exchanger. Heat exchangers damaged  
by scaling are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

FLUE REQUIREMENTS - INSTALLING  
The flue must be installed by a competent, authorised person. It is the installer’s  
responsibility to ensure that the unit has been installed to all current local require-  
ments.  
Ensure that the flue terminal and hot water outlet connection cannot be touched by  
children. The flue must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.  
Flue Length.  
The flue Total Equivalent Length is limited to 6.5m. Each 900 bend should be consid-  
ered 0.5m of the Total Equivalent Length. The maximum number of bends is 3.  
Separate instructions are provided with the flue detailing the installation of the flue parts.  
Flue pipes must include a condensate drain if the total flue height exceeds 1.5m. There  
is a special condensate drain collector piece available through Rinnai or your supplier.  
For flue runs requiring a drain the horizontal sections on the appliance side of any verti-  
cal runs should slope towards the appliance, and the flue should be bracketed to prevent  
sagging. If the terminal is horizontal it should slope gently to the outside to prevent in-  
gress of rain.  
The drain pipe should be run in 22mm PVC, uPVC, or ABS pipe, copper is not recom-  
mended. The drain pipe MUST be trapped. A trap with pipe is available from Rinnai or  
your supplier.  
Although the flue and appliance have been specially designed to prevent condensation  
in the flue for short runs (under 1.5m) care should be given to the placement of the  
terminal to prevent risk in the unlikely event of condensation. Condensation water can  
cause burns, and during winter could cause a slip hazard. It is the responsibility of the  
installer to decide the best place.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS - INSTALLATION  
When deciding on the best position for the temperature controls, the following points  
should be taken into account.  
xꢀ Fit the controls out of reach of children (suggested height from the floor 1.5m.)  
xꢀ Avoid positions where the controllers will become hot. Do not fit them near stoves or  
ovens, or above radiators or heaters.  
xꢀ If possible, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or positions where bright lights will make  
the digital display difficult to read.  
xꢀ Position away from areas where the controller will be prone to splashing by cooking  
products such as oils and fats.  
xꢀ The temperature controllers are water resistant, however they should be positioned  
away from areas where direct or persistent splashing could occur.  
xꢀ Refer to the local electrical wiring regulations current edition for location requirements  
in shower and bath areas.  
xꢀ The cables to the temperature controller carry only 12VDC (extra low voltage.)  
xꢀ When using more than one temperature controller the signal cable should be run in  
parallel. That is, from controller to controller to heater, or from each controller to the  
heater. Do not wire the controllers in series.  
The installation in every application will vary, therefore the temperature controller cable  
has been provided so that you may cut the length accordingly and fit the spade  
connectors, ensuring a good connection.  
Cables are simply ‘piggy-backed’ at the water heater or at the primary temperature  
controller. Polarity is not important when connecting the cables, either colour wire can  
be connected to either terminal at both the heater or primary temperature controller. If  
more cable is needed any cable with similar specification to the cable supplied with the  
controller can be used. Maximum length is 50 metres.

GAS PRESSURE SETTING  
The working gas pressure on the water heater is electronically controlled and factory set.  
Under normal circumstances it does not require adjustment during installation. Perform  
this procedure only if the unit is not operating correctly and all other possible causes for  
incorrect operation have been eliminated. Contact Rinnai before attempting  
to alter the gas pressure. Failure to do so could void the warranty.  
1. Turn 'OFF' the gas supply.  
2. Turn 'OFF' 230V power supply.  
3. Remove the front cover from the appliance.  
4. Check gas type dip switches no.1 and no. 2
