Rinnai Control-R Installation Instructions

Control-R™ Motion Sensor Installation Instructions
This document provides instructions on installing the Rinnai Control-R™ Motion Sensor.
The Control-R™ Motion Sensor works with the Control-R™ Module to operate the Rinnai Tankless Water Heater recirculation
system. The Motion Sensor mounts near the point of use (such as a kitchen faucet or bathroom sink) and activates the recirculation
system with the detection of motion. The recirculation system will deactivate after five minutes from initiation or when the water
has reached the set temperature. The Motion Sensor is only compatible with Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters featuring Rinnai
Circ-Logic™. Follow all instructions carefully to ensure proper performance.
NOTE: If the recirculating pump has recently been active and the recirculation loop is still warm, there may be a delay in pump
activation. To minimize any delay in pump activation, set the Rinnai Tankless Water Heater to Comfort Mode. Refer to the
"Recirculation Mode" section in the Tankless Water Heater Installation and Operation Manual for more information on Comfort
Mode.

Installation Requirements


Prior to installation, determine the best location for the Motion Sensor. Rinnai recommends installing the Motion Sensor near
a water fixture that will have a great deal of use. A site survey is recommended prior to installation.

The Motion Sensor detects full body movement up to 39 feet and limb movement up to 16 feet away from the sensor. The
sensing angle is 110°.

The Motion Sensor should be corner mounted on a wall between 6 to 9 feet above floor level and in an area with a clear line
of sight to the space.

The Motion Sensor provides a wireless transmission of data to Rinnai's Control-R™ Module. The Control-R™ Module must be
installed and functioning properly before installing the Motion Sensor. The Motion Sensor must not be mounted behind any
obstructing objects that could harm the wireless signal strength.

Make sure to install the Motion Sensor in the correct orientation (see below):
