TEMPERATURE CONTROLS 

Remote  temperature  controllers  provide  control  over  the  water  temperature.  Rinnai  water 
heaters can be operated with 1, 2, 3, 4 or no temperature controllers. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The 

MC-91-3A 

controller can be locked by pressing the Transfer button and the 

up-button together for 5 seconds. A beep will sound confirming that the controller 
is locked. The display will alternately show “LOC”, the temperature setting, and a 
diagnostic code if one has been activated. All of the controllers in the system are 
also locked. 

 

Each time a button is pressed, a BEEP will sound. The BEEP sound 
can  be  muted  by  depressing  the  Temperature  Controller  Up  and 
Down  buttons  simultaneously  for  more  than  5  seconds.  This  can  be 
done  for  each  Temperature  Controller.  To  return  to  original  settings, 
repeat this step. 

Safety features 

 
Whilst    the  hot  water  tap  is  open,  the 
following safety features apply: 
 

 

Temperature  selection  cannot  be 
transferred. 

 

 

The  temperature  setpoint  on  the 
controller  with  priority  can  always  be 
lowered,  but    the  setpoint  can  only  be 
raised to 43°C. 

 

 

Other  controllers  are  unable  to  take 
priority 

or 

change 

the 

delivery 

temperature of the water. 

 

 

If off, the controller cannot be turned on. 

The  temperature  of  the  outgoing 
water  is  constantly  monitored  by 
a built in sensor. 
 
If the temperature of the outgoing 

hot water rises to more than 3ºC above the 
selected  temperature shown  on  the  digital 
display, or the preset limit if controllers are 
not  fitted,  the  burner  will  automatically  go 
out. 
 
The red “In Use” indicator will also go out. 
 
The  burner  will  ignite  again  once  the 
outgoing hot water temperature falls to that 
shown on the digital display (or the pre-set 
limit of the Rinnai HDC heater).
