1. Introduction
The Rinnai Infinity hot water units represents the latest technology in continuous flow, temperature
controlled hot water.
Features
• The Infinity 26iand HD50i NEVER RUN OUT of hot water. Whilst electricity, water and gas
supplies are connected, hot water is available whenever hot water taps are open.
• Built into the main micro-processor is the facility to LIMIT THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE of
the hot water supplied. The water temperature may be limited to various maximum temperatures. This
is particularly useful when the hot water unit is installed where young children or the infirm may be
using the hot water. The Infinity is delivered with a maximum preset temperature of 55 C and the
HD50i at 65° C. If required, the temperature limits can be changed by a service technician. For
further information, please contact Rinnai.
• The Infinity is a power flued appliance. It is COMPACT, saving both floor and wall space.
• The temperature of outgoing hot water is CONSTANTLY MONITORED by a BUILT-IN SENSOR. If
the temperature of the outgoing hot water rises to more than 3 C above the selected temperature
shown on the Digital Monitor (or the pre-set limit when Remote Controls are not fitted), the burner will
automatically go out. The burner will ignite again once the outgoing hot water temperature falls below
the temperature shown on the Digital Monitor (or the pre-set limit).
• The burner lights automatically when the hot water tap is opened, and goes out when the tap is closed.
IGNITION IS ELECTRONIC, therefore there is not pilot light. When the hot water tap is off, no gas is
used.
• ‘Deluxe’ or ‘Standard’ Remote Controllers are available as an optional extra. Depending on the models
chosen, these offer the following additional features :
- Bath fill function
- Voice Prompting
- Localised Temperature Control for up to four controllers
- Clock
• Temperatures selected at the controllers are retained in the SYSTEM MEMORY.
• Operating NOISE LEVEL IS VERY LOW.
• ERROR MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED on the Remote Controllers, assisting with service.

Sensors and Safety Devices
• Heat Exchanger Thermistor: Measures hot water temperature at heat exchanger outlet. If water
temperature reaches a predetermined limit, gas supply is stopped.
• Hot Water Delivery Thermistor: Measures hot water temperature at the outlet valve (i.e. the ‘mixed’
temperature).
• Flame Rod: Monitors combustion characteristics inside the combustion chamber. If the flame fails, gas
supply is stopped.
• Overheat Switch: Situated on the heat exchanger, gas supply is stopped when water temperature
reaches 97ºC for a number of seconds.
• Fusible Link: Situated on the heat exchanger, electrical power supply is stopped if the temperature
exceeds 129ºC.
• Water Pressure Relief Valve: Safeguards the water circuit against excessive inlet pressure. Opens at
20.6bar, closes at 14.7bar.
• Electrical Fuse: (3A glass fuse) prevents against over-current.
Surge Protector: prevents against over-current.
• Boil Dry Prevention: If water flow sensor detects no flow, gas supply is stopped.
• Combustion Fan Speed Sensor: In case of combustion fan defect (no rotation of fan) gas supply is
stopped.
• Temperature Cutout: If the delivered hot water temperature rises above the required delivery
temperature for a number of seconds, the gas supply is stopped.

3. Water Flow Rates and Pressures
Water Flows
Table 1 shows unmixed and mixed water flow rates and approximate gas consumptions for various
temperature rises. The unmixed flow rates are the flow rates available at the given temperature rise directly
at the outlet of the water heater. The mixed water flow rates are available at the given temperature rise by
mixing hot water from the outlet of the water heater with cold water from the mains supply.
Water Flows can also be calculated by the following formula:
M = 60 x ( Q / C x T )
Where M = Water flow rate in litres/minute. If M is dto 26, the water is unmixed. If M is !, the water
is mixed.
Q = Heat energy output in kW = 47kW for the Infinity 26i and HD50i
C = Specific heat of water = 4.2KJ/Kg C. C does not change for the purpose of this calculation.
T = Temperature rise required ( C)
Example:
What is the flow rate available with an incoming water temperature of 10 C and a required temperature of
20 C?
T = 20 - 10 = 10 C
Q = 47
C = 4.2
M = 60 x ( 47 / (4.2 x 10) ) = 67 l/min. Since 67 is greater than 26 this flow rate is mixed. This result
corresponds with the value in Table 1.

Deluxe Kitchen Remote Control (MC-70) and (BC-70A)
Deluxe controllers have 'Kitchen' (MC-70-2A) and 'Bathroom' (BC-70-2A) versions. 'Kitchen' controls are
intended for the Kitchen or other convenient area where the majority of hot water is used. Bathroom
Controllers are intended to be fitted in the bathroom or ensuite and allow the user to have a bath filled to
the required level and temperature automatically.
:
Positioning of Controllers
Controllers must be installed in shaded and clean locations. They should be fitted out of reach of children
(suggested height from floor at least 1500mm). Controllers are water resistant, however, durability is
improved when positioned outside the shower recess or at least 400mm above the highest part of a sink,

MC-91A Controller Programming
Question 1: Are four Controllers connected ?
IF YES: You will need to activate the fourth controller.
STEP 1:
For the Controller in the ‘KITCHEN’ only, press and hold the
‘Transfer’ and ‘On/Off’ buttons simultaneously (see fig. 1) until a
‘beep’ is heard (approximately 5 seconds).
STEP 2:
Check that the display on ALL FOUR controllers is lit and
displaying a temperature when ‘switched on’. If any ONE of the
controller displays two dashes (see fig. 2) in the display repeat
STEP 1.
This completes the activation procedure. Ignore Question 2.
IF NO: (You have three controllers or fewer), go to Question 2.
Question 2: Does your kitchen controller temperature go higher than 50 deg C?
IF YES: No further action required.
IF NO: You will need to program the Kitchen controller to enable selection of temperatures higher than
50º C.
STEP 1:
For the controller in the KITCHEN only, press and hold the 'Transfer' and 'On/Off' buttons
simultaneously (see fig 1.) until a 'beep' is heard (approximately 5 seconds).
STEP 2:
When the controller fitted in the KITCHEN is switched on, it should be possible to select temperatures
higher than 50º C. If not, repeat Step 1.
Note:
• If the kitchen controller is replaced, repeat STEP 1 above for the replacement controller.
• If the kitchen controller is swapped with another controller (for example, the controller fitted
in a bathroom), repeat STEP 1 for the controller moved from the kitchen to the bathroom.
Then perform STEP 1 for the controller moved from the bathroom to the kitchen.

8. Operation Principles
Hot Water Operation
1. Ignition
• Activate controllers (if fitted) and open the hot water tap (for full details regarding operation of
controllers refer to the ‘installation and user manual.
• When water flows through the unit, the water flow sensor rotates and sends an electrical ‘pulse’ signal
to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This signal is proportional to the water flow rate.
• The PCB sends electrical current to the combustion fan motor causing it to turn. The fan motor sends
an electrical pulse signal to the PCB. If fan rotation is OK, the main solenoid and changeover solenoid
valves open as required, the spark generator activates and the spark electrode ignites the burner.
2. Water Temperature / Flow Control / Volume Control
• The PCB will automatically control operation of the internal components to achieve the programmed
temperature. When a high temperature rise is required, the PCB may cause the Water Flow Servo to
close partially resulting in a lower flow rate to achieve the programmed temperature. This is a
necessary operational feature of the unit.
• When operating in ‘Bath Fill’ mode, the signal from the water flow sensor is also used by the PCB to
compute the volume of water that has been passed through the unit at any instant whilst the bath is
filling.
3. Shut Down
• When operating in ‘Bath Fill’ mode, the PCB causes the Water Flow Servo to close when the
programmed Bath Fill volume has passed through the unit. Alternatively, flow is stopped when the
user closes the hot water tap.
• When water flow stops, the water flow sensor stops rotating and the pulse signal to the PCB stops. The
PCB then causes the main solenoid and solenoid valves to close and the burner is extinguished. The
combustion fan will continue to operate for some time to purge the combustion chamber.
