The maximum number of controllers that can be tted is four, refer water controller congurations
section below.
General information
Other manufacturers water controllers are NOT compatible with Rinnai water heaters. Water
controllers MUST NOT be used with any solar boost water heater. Rinnai water controllers bought
in from other countries are not compatible with Rinnai appliances sold in New Zealand.
Water controllers and transceivers (for those with wireless controllers) DO NOT contain serviceable
parts and must only be serviced by an authorised person.
Master controller
Only one master controller can be designated as a ‘master’ water controller. This water controller
is normally used in the kitchen. The remaining controllers are ‘sub-controllers’ and are for use
in bathrooms, toilets, and laundries. The temperature limit for all sub-controllers is 50 °C, this is
a safety feature, to reduce the risk of burns in these areas. A master controller MUST NOT be
installed in a bathroom.
Water controller configurations
• A maximum of four Compact controllers (MC-601) can be fitted.
• Only one master controller can be installed. This can be a Kitchen Deluxe
1
(MC-100V), or any
other Compact controller (MC-601).

When a Kitchen Deluxe controller is fitted, it will always function as a master controller, this is the default setting and cannot be
changed.
• In addition to a master controller, up to three additional controllers can be fitted
Controller location
• Do not install water controllers near a heat source, such as a cook top, stove or oven. Heat
steam, smoke, and hot oil may cause damage.
• Do not install water controllers outdoors unless protection from water/dust ingress and sunlight
are provided.
• Do not install water controllers in direct sunlight.
• Do not install water controllers against a metal wall unless the wall is earthed in accordance
with AS/NZS 3000.
• Water controllers must not be installed where chemicals such as benzene, alcohol, turpentine,
hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, chlorine or other similar chemicals are in use.
The water controller is water resistant, however excessive exposure to water may result in
damage. Durability is improved when positioned OUTSIDE the shower recess.
• Avoid direct exposure to water or steam as these may cause the controller to malfunction.
• Water controllers must be installed in shaded and clean locations. They should be fitted out of
reach of children (suggested height 1.5 m from the floor), and installed at least 400 mm above
the highest part of a sink, basin or bath.
When cleaning your water controller use only a damp cloth and mild detergent.
