7.5 Guidelines for Additional Temperature Controllers
All Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters are equipped
with an integrated digital temperature controller
that allows for a precise water temperature
set-point. Additional digital temperature controllers
are available as accessories and must be
purchased separately (detailed installation steps
included with purchase).
Wiring
A maximum of four temperature controllers can
be installed for a water heater or bank of water
heaters; this includes the controller built into a
Rinnai Tankless Water Heater. Controllers can
only be wired in parallel; they cannot be wired in
series.
Cable Lengths and Sizes
The temperature controller cable should be a non-
polarized two-core cable with a minimum gauge
of 22 AWG. The maximum cable length from each
temperature controller to the water heater depends
on the total number of wired controllers connected
to the water heater.
