Description of the boiler
Room sealed boiler
The boiler retreives its com-
bustion air from outside then
discharges the flue gasses to
the outside.
The Rinnai E boiler is a room sealed, condensing and modulating central heating
boiler, with an integrated DHW fascility.
The boiler is provided with a compact stainless steel heat exchanger with smooth
tubes. This design is a well thought out principle using durable materials.
The boiler burns gas for supplying heat. The heat is transferred in the heat exchanger
to the water in the central heating system. By cooling down the exhaust gases
condensate is formed. This results in high efficiency. The condensate, which has
no effect on the heat exchanger and the function of the boiler, is drained through
condensate collector trap.
Condensing
Retrieves heat as much as
possible from the flue gas-
ses. Water condensates on
the heat exchanger.
The boiler is provided with an intelligent control system (CMS Control Management
System). The boiler anticipates the heat demand of the central heating system or the
domestic hot water facility system.
Modulating
Stepless higher or lower
burning according to the heat
demand.
When an outdoor sensor is connected to the boiler it will operate weather dependantly
using outdoor reset. This means that the boiler control measures the outside
temperature and supply temperature. With this data the boiler calculates the optimal
supply temperature for the installation.

18
The boiler has a self-adjusting and self-protecting control system for the load and the
pump capacity. By this means the temperature difference between the supply and return
water is checked and controlled.
If the installation resistance is over the stated value; the load will be adjusted until
an acceptable temperature difference between supply and return water has been
obtained. If, after this, the temperature difference is still not acceptable then the boiler
will switch off and wait until an acceptable temperature has arisen.
If an unacceptable temperature is detected, the control will repeatedly try to achieve
water flow over the boiler. If not the boiler will switch off.
The electrical side of an external circulation pump (fig. 6, pos. 8) can be connected
to the Control Tower. This pump thus switches simultaneously to the boiler pump.
The maximum absorbed current consumption of the external circulation pump may
not exceed 120V, 2 Amp. If a pump with a larger current draw is required an isolation
relay must be used. See the Rinnai BoilerApplications Manual for further information.
The extra external pump must be selected according the installation resistance and
required flow.
As standard the boiler is provided with a water filter in the return pipe of the boiler, so
that debris of the central heating water is prevented from affecting the boiler.
NOTICE
i
When using more than one boiler in an installation please refer to the cascade
installation instructions.

i
The Low water cut off is not serviceable.
6.2
Expansion tank
The E-Series boilers are equiped with an internal expansion tank.
The tank of the E75CN and E75CP is positioned inside the boiler casing. This
expansion tank has a pre-charge pressure of 14.5 PSI / 1 Bar and a capacity of 2.1
gallon / 8 litres.
The tank of the E110CN and E110CP is positioned directly beneath the boiler and
together with the casing forms a single entity with the boiler.
The casing can be removed by pulling forwards. The expansion tank has a pre-charge
pressure of 14.5 PSI / 1 Bar and a capacity of 3.1 gallon / 12 litres.
If a larger capacity expansion tank is needed for the installation a standard expansion
vessel should be fitted additionally.
In that case choose an expansion tank volume, of which the summary is geared to
the installation’s water capacity. The pre-charge pressure depends on the installation
height above the expansion tank. Fit the expansion tank into the return pipe as close
as possible to the boiler. The extra expansion tank should be sourced locally. Please
refer to the expansion tank manufacturer for further information.

NOTICE
i
Follow the listed maximum length of vent systems, which are boiler output dependent.
The maximum permissible lengths are listed in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
NOTICE
i
Decide how to install the exhaust and air intake system. You can choose between:
-
Concentric system (see page 26)
The concentric connection is provided standard initially.
The boiler concentric connection diameter is 3"/5" (80/125 mm), to which the venting and air
supply system can be fitted, with or without elbow pieces. The maximum permissible pipe length
is displayed in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
-
Parallel system (see page 27)
The boiler can be converted to a parallel system with supplied adapters.
It is possible to use a parallel pipe connection of 2x 3". In this case a seperate supplied kit, with
2 vent adapters 3" (ø80mm), cover 5" (ø125mm), vent exhaust pipe and gaskets should be
fitted instead of the concentric vent adapter on top of the boiler. See figure 12 for installation.
The maximum permissible pipe length is set out in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
-
Room Air System (outdoor combustion air)
The boiler can use room air for combustion. If this option is selected the boiler must first be
converted to the Parallel system. A single exhaust pipe can then be fitted. It is required to use
a room air filter when using indoor air for combustion. The maximum permissible pipe length
is set out in table 9, chapter 6.7.6.
We advise to install a vent system out of the venting system program supplied by
Rinnai (See chapter 19 Parts list Vent system). For further information about the

6.7.8 Room Air System (indoor combustion air)
When using indoor air, Rinnai strongly recommends the use of an indoor air
filter, P/N 808000025.
This boiler requires adequate combustion air for ventilation and dilution of flue gases.
Failure to provide adequate combustion air can result in unit failure, fire, explosion,
serious bodily injury or death. Use the following methods to ensure adequate
combustion air is available for correct and safe operation of this water heater.
Important: Combustion air must be free of corrosive chemicals. Do not provide
combustion air from corrosive environments. Appliance failure due to corrosive air is
not covered by warranty.
Combustion air must be free of acid forming chemical such as sulfur, fluorine and
chlorine. These chemicals have been found to cause rapid damage and decay and
can become toxic when used as combustion air in gas appliances. Such chemicals
can be found in, but not limited to bleach, ammonia, cat litter, aerosol sprays, cleaning
solvents, varnish, paint and air fresheners. Do not store these products or similar
products in the vicinity of this water heater.
Unconfined Space:
An unconfined space is defined in 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
rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with
the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with
doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space." If the “unconfined space”
containing the appliance(s) is in a building with tight construction, outside air may
still be required for proper operation. Outside air openings should be sized the same
as for a confined space.

Confined Space:
(Small Room, Closet, Alcove, Utility Room, Etc.)
A confined space is defined in the 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 rating
of all appliances installed in that space."Aconfined space must have two combustion
air openings. Size the combustion air openings based on the BTU input for all gas
utilization equipment in the space and the method by which combustion air is supplied:
Using indoor air for combustion
Using outdoor air for combustion
Louvers and Grills
When sizing the permanent opening as illustrated in figure 17, consideration must be
taken for the design of the louvers or grills to maintain the required free area required
for all gas utilizing 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 ¼”.
Example:
Wood: 10 in x 12 in x 0.25 = 30 in2
Metal: 10 in x 12 in x 0.75 = 90 in2
Location
To maintain proper circulation of combustion air two permanent openings (one up-
per, one lower) must be positioned in confined spaces. The upper shall be within 12
inches of the confined space and the lower opening shall be within 12 inches of the
bottom of the confined space. Openings must be positioned as to never be obstructed.
Combustion air provided to the appliance should not be taken from any area of the
structure that may produce a negative pressure (i.e. exhaust fans, powered ventila-
tion fans).

Using Indoor Air For Combustion
When using air from other room(s) in the building, the total volume of the room(s) must
be ofadequate volume (Greater than 50 cubic feetper 1000 Btu/hr). Each Combustion
air opening must have at least one square inch of free area for each 1000 Btuh, but
not less than 100 square inches each.
Using Outdoor Air For Combustion
Outdoor air can be provided to a confined space through two permanent openings,
one commencing within 12 in. (300mm) of the top and one commencing within 12”
(300mm) of the bottom, of the confined space. The openings shall communicate to
the outside by one of two ways:
directly through horizontal ducts
indirectly through vertical ducts
When communicating directly with the outdoors through horizontal ducts,
each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in2/2000 Btu/hr (1100 mm2/
kW) of total input rating of all appliances in the confined space.
Note: If ducts are used, the cross sectional area of the duct must be greater
than or equal to the required free area of the openings to which they are con-
nected.
When communicating indirectly with the outdoors through vertical ducts,
each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 in2/4000 Btu/hr (550 mm2/
kW) of total input rating of all appliances in the confined space. Combus-
tion air to the appliance can be provided from a well ventilated attic or crawl
space.

Boiler controls
The boiler is provided with a fully automatic microprocessor control, called CMS
Control Management System. This control simplifies operation by undertaking all
major control functions. Initially when power to the unit is switched on it will remain on
standby. There is no indication LED on, until one of the program buttons is pressed.
The control panel display will show the relevant state. When the installation is empty
the display will show FILL.
The various parameters can be called up in two ways:
The Good-state or standard read out
The first way shows a simple display read out.
The boiler in operation will always show 'Good'. When a message is necessary this
will be shown instead of Good.
Technical read out

the technical read out.
To switch over from the Good-state to the Technical read out (and vice versa):
- Press the STEP-button for 5 seconds.
NOTICE
i
When the system has been filled the automatic de-aeration program starts, when a
program has been selected, by pressing the button for Central Heating, DHW or pump
program (
,
of
). The program takes 17 minutes and stops automatically.
After this the unit will function normally. (See also 'Filling and de-aerate the boiler and
installation, chapter 9).
On a call for heating or hot water the control system will select the required water
control temperature. This water temperature is called the T-set value. On a call for
central heating the boiler ignites first at low input. The input is then changed slowly to
match the load required. The boiler operates in this way to avoid excessive water noises
and temperature overshoot. On a call for domestic hot water supply the T-set value
of central heating return water temperature is monitored. Depending on the amount of
domestic water which is withdrawn from the DHW fascility, the central heating return
water temperature, from which the input is adjusted, will vary.

WARNING
!
9.1 Requirements of the water system
Before filling the heating system, the complete system, including all zones, must be
thoroughly cleaned and flushed to remove sediment. Flush until clean water runs free
of sediment. Rinnai suggests using an approved system cleaner to flush the system,
but not the boiler. See the Rinnai Boiler Applications Manual for furtherinformation
and for a list of approved cleaners.
ApprovedantifreezesareNobleNoburstAluminum, RhomarRhoGardAluminumSafe
Multi-Metal. Never use salt bedding exchangers, reverse osmosis, D.I., or distilled
water for filling the heating system.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the boiler
system. Damage of seals and gaskets in boiler and system could occur,
resulting in substantial property damage.
WARNING
!
The central heating installation needs to be filled with potable water.
Use only potable water or approved glycol for filling the heating system.
When the water hardness of the filling water exceeds > 10.5 gpg (200 mg/L)
and the volume of the installation > 20L/kW (5.2 gallons/3,412 BTU) the water
has to be treated until below the maximum value of 10.5 gpg (200 mg/L).
The pH value of the installation water must be between 6.5 and 8.5.
WARNING
!
Check the The pH value using a digital pH meter that has been properly calibrated
or by having the water analyzed by a water treatment company.
If pH differs from above, contact Rinnai engineering for further assistance.
Failure to adhere to the water quality requirements will result in a void of war-
ranty.
NOTICE
i
42
Freeze protection
Freeze protection for new or existing systems must use glycol that is specially
formulated for this purpose. This includes inhibitors, which prevent the glycol from
attack the metallic components. This should be for multi-metallic components.
Make certain to check that the system fluid is correct for the glycol concentration and
inhibitor level. The system should be tested at least once a year and as recommended
by the producer of the glycol solution.
Use only Rinnai approved inhibitors. See the Rinnai BoilerApplications Manual
for an approved list of inhibitors.
NOTICE
i
Use only inhibited propylene glycol solutions, which are specially formulated
for central heating systems. Ethylene glycol is toxic and can attack gaskets
and seals used in the boiler and system. Approved glycols ae listed in the
Rinnai Boiler Applications Manual.

18 After the automatic de-aeration program (A XX) is finished the boiler will return to
the Good state or Technical read out.
Check the water pressure regularly and top off the installation when necessary.
The working pressure of the installation should be between 22 and 25 PSI when the
system is cold.
43
NOTICE
It can take a while before all air has disappeared from a filled installation.
Especially in the first week noises may be heard which indicate the presence
of air. The automatic air vent in the boiler will remove this air, which means
the water pressure can reduce during this period and therefore topping off
with water will have to be done.
i
During normal use the following messages can occur with the necessary follow up:
Water pressure is too low (<10 PSI), FILL
indication remains continuously visible,
the boiler is taken out of operation. The
installation needs to be topped off.
Water pressure is too low (<14,5 PSI),
flashing FILL will alternate with indication
of water pressure, boiler power of 50%
is possible. The installation needs to be
topped off.
Water pressure is too high (>52,2 PSI),
if HIGH indication remains continuously
visible,theboileristakenoutofoperation.
The installation pressure needs to be
decreased by draining water.
9.3 Hot water supply
Apply the water pipe pressure to the DHW fascility (open main valve and/or stop
valve of the safety group).
Vent the DHW fascility and the hot water installation by opening a hot water shut off
valve. Leave the shut off valve open for as long as required until all air has disappeared
from the DHW fascility and the pipes and only water is flowing from the shut off valve.

Isolating the boiler
Some situations require turning the entire boiler off.
By switching off the three buttons with the LED's for central heating, hot water and
pump program ( or ), the boiler is switched off. Do not shut off the power
,
of the boiler, which means the circulation pump and the three-way valve are activated
once every 24 hours in order to prevent these parts from seizing up.
In the event of frost danger during an isolated boiler it is advisable to drain
the boiler and/or the installation.
CAUTION
!

12
Commissioning
Work on the boiler must be carried out by a competent person, using
correctly calibrated instruments with current test certification.
These installation instructions are intended for professional installers, who
have the necessary knowledge and are approved for working on heating and
gas systems.
NOTICE
i
Before the boiler is fired, ensure that the boiler and the system are well de-aerated
and free of air. Purge the gas line between the gas meter and the boiler.
The boiler and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5kPa).
NOTICE
i
To commission the boiler the casing has to be removed.
-
-
-
remove the 4 screws A,B,C and D in the quick releases of the casing (figure 17);
remove the screw E behind the door on the front of the casing (figure 17);
remove it towards the front.
The boiler settings, such as burner pressure and adjustment of the air quantity are
unnecessary, due to the fact that the boiler operates with a zero pressure control.
This means the correct gas quantity is controlled by the suction operation of the fan.
The fine adjustment which is carried out at the factory is once-only, which means
that adjusting of these values is unnecessary. Only in case of replacing of the gas
valve, venturi and/or fan, the zero pressure and the incorrect O2 adjustment has to
be checked and, if necessary, adjusted at the right value.
Always check the installation of all parts through which gas flows (by bubble
test using leak-search spray)
DANGER
!
During the commissioning of the boiler the Rinnai Installation, Commissioning, and
Service card must be filled out.

cause serious property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
DANGER
!
Put the boiler into operation and check the O2 (see page 50).
Clamping rods
figure 32
If replacement by new gaskets and burner mentioned in this chapter is not done
within the service interval subscribed by Rinnai the boiler can be damaged and
will cause serious property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
DANGER
!
Use only original spare parts supplied by Rinnai. If other parts will be used
the boiler can be damaged and will cause serious property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Use of non-Rinnai parts will result in the void of warranty.
WARNING
!

Visual inspection of the flame
The burner must flame evenly over the entire surface when operating correctly. The
flame must burn with a clear, blue, stable flame.
Check the flame through the inspection glass in the ignition probe (fig. 33).
The flame pattern should be as shown in the figures below.

Blocks and Errors
Error indication (short reference)
A detected error is indicated on the display by means of blocking or error messages.
A distinction should be made between these two messages due to the fact that bloc-
king can be of a temporary nature, however, error messages are fixed lockings. The
control will try its utmost to prevent locking and will temporarily switch off the unit by
blocking it. Hereunder is a list of some messages.
Blocks
with a number in the last 2 positions.
Block 01:
External safety contact cut off
Block 11:
Maximum T of flow and return sensor in central heating has repeatedly been exceeded. Du-
ring the block normal operation of the hot water supply is possible. The pump continues to operate
at minimum capacity during the block.
Block 12:
Maximum T of flow and return sensor in domestic hot water has repeatedly been exceeded.
During the block normal operation of the central heating installation is possible. During the block the
pump continues to operate at minimum capacity.
Block 60:
Incorrect parameter setting of the minimum or maximum power.
Block 67:
AT has been detected between flow and return sensor whereas the burner is not in operation.
After the T has disappeared the block will clear.
Block 85:

Common venting guidelines
Do not common vent with the vent pipe of any other boiler or appliance. However,
when an existing boiler is removed from a common venting system, the common
venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the appliances remaining
connected to it. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall
be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common
venting system are not in operation:
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and deter-
mine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and otherdeficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between
the space in which the appliances remaining connected to thecommon venting
system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and
any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust
fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maxi-
mum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of mainburner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from acigarette, cigar or
pipe.
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above,return doors,
windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance
to their previous condition of use.”
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the
installation conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 and/
or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. When resizing
any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system should
be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate
tables in Part 11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or
CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
