A WARNING ABOUT HOT WATER
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Rinnai wireless controllers are classified as short range radio communications devices and referred
to as Low Interference Potential Devices (LIPD’s) in AS/NZS 4268:2003*. As such, they operate in the
same radio frequency spectrum as many other devices classified as LIPD’s such as garage door
openers and keyless automobile entry systems. Although interference with other LIPD's is unlikely, it
is not guaranteed interference will not occur.
Rinnai wireless controllers must not be used in the vicinity of other devices if radio interference with
such devices could result in a dangerous situation, unless it is verified that interference will not occur.
Possible examples are medical devices and fire alarms.
*AS/NZS 4268:2003 ‘Radio Equipment and systems – short range devices – Limits and methods of
measurement’.
Excessively hot water is dangerous, especially for young
children and the infirm. Rinnai water controllers allow you to
control the temperature of hot water to safe levels.
High water temperatures can cause severe burns. Those most
at risk are children, disabled, elderly and the infirm.
ALWAYS......
Test the temperature of the water with your elbow before placing
your child in the bath, also carefully feel water before bathing or
showering yourself.
Supervise children whenever they are in the bathroom.
Make sure that the hot water tap is turned off tightly.
CONSIDER.....
Installing child proof tap covers or child resistant taps (both
approaches will prevent a small hand being able to turn on the
tap).
NEVER…..
Leave a toddler in the care of another child. they may not
understand the need to have the water temperature set at a safe
level.
