CONTROLLERS
There are three types of Rheem controllers suitable for installation with this water
heater. They are the Kitchen controller (Rheem PN 299853), Bathroom1 controller
(Rheem PN 299854) and the Bathroom2 controller (Rheem PN 299855). They are
designed to be hard wired into the water heater using either the Kitchen controller
cable (Rheem PN 299856) or the Bathroom controller cable (Rheem PN 299857).
Notes:
●
Only one of each type of controller can be connected to the water heater.
Therefore, only a maximum of three controllers can be connected to each water
heater.
●
Extension cables are available from Rheem. Alternatively, the cables may be
extended using two-core flex with a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm
