General information

sold in New Zealand.

Refer p. 5.
Controller location
•
Do not install water controllers near a heat source, such as a cook top, stove or oven—heat,
steam, smoke, and hot oil may cause damage
• Do not install water controllers outdoors unless protection from water/dust ingress and sunlight
are provided
• The Kitchen Deluxe (MC-100V1Z) controller MUST NOT be installed in a bathroom
• Do not install water controllers in direct sunlight
• Do not install water controllers against a metal wall unless the wall is earthed in accordance
with AS/NZS 3000
• Water controllers must not be installed where chemicals such as benzene, alcohol, turpentine,
hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, chlorine or similar chemicals are in use
The water controller is water resistant, however excessive exposure to water may result in
damage. Durability is improved when positioned OUTSIDE the shower recess.
• Avoid direct exposure to water or steam as these may cause the controller to malfunction
•
Water controllers must be installed in shaded clean locations. They should be fitted out of reach
of children (recommended height 1.5 m from the floor), and installed at least 400 mm above the
highest part of a sink, basin or bath.
The deluxe controllers use a liquid crystal display (LCD) for the digital monitor.
Light reflection can make the LCD difficult to see at direct eye level. For best
results mount the controller lower than eye level.
Communication cables
Controllers operate at an extra low voltage (12 V DC), which is supplied from the water heater. A
10 m communication cable is supplied for connection to the water heater. ONLY Rinnai supplied
communication cables may be used. Additional 10 m cable can be purchased.
