Universal Water Controller (MC-601) Layout

Turning On

If the water controller is switched off (no digits displayed in the digital monitor window) 

press the On/Off button once. The ON indicator will illuminate, indicating that the hot 

water unit will be ready to supply hot water once a hot water tap is opened.

Adjusting Temperature

Select the desired temperature using the Hot water temp 

 or 

 buttons until the 

required temperature is displayed on the digital monitor.
To operate the hot water unit, open any hot water tap. This will automatically light the 

burner  providing  hot  water. The  water  heater  ‘In  Use’  indicator  will  illuminate  on  the 

water controller(s).
Once the hot water is running, if the set temperature is either too hot or cold press the 

Hot water temp   or   buttons until the desired temperature is reached.

NOTE

Whilst hot water outlets are open, the set temperature may be lowered to a minimum of 37°C. For 

safety, it cannot then be raised above 43°C until all hot water taps are closed.
If the water heater is turned ‘Off’ whilst hot water taps are open it can not be turned back ‘On’ until 

all hot water taps have been closed.
Temperatures higher than 50ºC MUST NOT be able to be selected from water controllers installed 

in bathrooms, ensuites or toilets. This is to help reduce the risk of burns from hot water. If this is 

not the case, the water controllers have been incorrectly installed. CONTACT YOUR INSTALLER.
The 'beep' sound can be muted by pressing the   and   buttons simultaneously for more than 

3 seconds. To cancel sound muting, simply repeat the process.

CAUTION

Always check water temperature at the outlet before use. A parent or carer should always check 

the temperature  before a child is placed in contact with hot water. Read  the section "Warning 

About Hot Water" in the Rinnai Continuous Flow Water Heaters, Operation & Installation Manual.

Transferring Priority

To control the water delivery temperatures when using two or more water controllers it is 

necessary to have priority transferred to the water controller you wish to use. Transferring 

of priority will 

NOT

 be possible if the ‘In Use’ indicator is currently illuminated, as this 

.

of the water delivery temperature. If the Priority indicator is not illuminated press the 

Transfer  button  once.  The  Priority  indicator  will  illuminate,  indicating  that  hot  water 

temperature control has been transferred and that the hot water unit will be ready to 

supply hot water once a hot water tap is opened.
