3PH Auxiliary Relay Box OIM

The 3-phase auxiliary relay box is used in conjunction with Rinnai commercial heat pump and electric tank and 

operates by receiving “close” signal from the heat pump.
Depending on the installation of heat pump hot water system, a 3-phase auxiliary relay box (i.e. auxiliary booster 

control box) may be supplied for supplementing heat at low ambient temperature. Terminals “3” and “4” from the 

heat pump provide a power free signal to control the auxiliary booster (as shown below). Use a minimum 0.75mm

2

 

two-core cable (provided by installer) to wire to heat pump terminals.
The auxiliary booster has been interlocked with the heat pump to only operate under low ambient or fault conditions.

• 

When ambient temperature falls below 5°C, auxiliary booster is activated. The auxiliary booster will operate 

until the set point reaches. Auxiliary booster will remain active until the ambient temperature reaches above 

7°C. Heat pump and auxiliary booster may work simultaneously.

• 

When ambient temperature falls below 0°C, heat pump is deactivated. Heat pump won’t activate until the 

ambient temperature reaches above 2°C. Only the auxiliary booster will operate until the set point reaches.

• 

When heap pump is in fault, auxiliary booster will operate instead of the heat pump until the set point 

reaches. Auxiliary booster will remain active until the heat pump fault is cleared.
