For safety and warranty purposes, appliances that may be damaged or incorrect must not be installed or operated under any circumstances. Installation of damaged or incorrect appliances may contravene local government regulations. Rinnai disclaims any liability or responsibility whatsoever in relation to the installation or operation of damaged or incorrect appliances.
1. SCOPE This installation manual is intended to be used as a guideline for the installation of Gas Fired Central Heaters. It covers only the installation and commissioning of the heater and the allowable flueing configurations. Although recommended return air grilles and allowable duct outlet quantities are specified, it does not cover the actual ducting design required to suit the installation.
2. GENERAL PRODUCT GUIDELINES APPLICATION AND SIZING These heaters are designed to provide a central source of heat for a ducted central heating system. The heaters should not be installed downstream from an air washer, an evaporative cooler or refrigerative cooling system.
SERVICE CONNECTION GUIDELINES 2.5.1 Gas Inlet Connection • All piping must be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and any local gas regulations. • The connection point for external model heaters is a female G3/4 compression fitting to AS 3688. This is either located on the outer cabinet of the heater, or supplied loose within the heater.
3. HEATER POSITIONING Install the heater in a position that allows adequate and safe access for service as per guidelines in this manual and applicable standards. The cost of any equipment and additional labour involved in accessing such heater installations will not be accepted by the manufacturer. Note: All service clearance measurements must be adhered to, otherwise this will impede the serviceability of the heater.
Determine free ventilation area using A = T x F, where: A = minimum free ventilation area, mm T = total gas consumption of all gas appliances, MJ/hr. e.g. SP623 = 86MJ/hr F = factor (detailed in the table below) Table 2.

SPLITTING INTERNAL MODEL HEATERS The SP5 & SP6 Internal model heaters can be split for ease of installation. To split the heater, follow these simple instructions: a. Remove the heater’s roof after removing the 4 roof screws. b. Disconnect the speed sensor loom from the control board and remove it from the heat exchanger cabinet. c.
4.5.2 SP5 Internal Models – 100mm non-corrosive metal flue. • Requires a 100mm round single or twin wall non-corrosive metal flue, suitably terminated. • All flues shall have a bolted flue sleeve connection to allow for repairs and/or removal of the appliance. •...
4.5.4 Remote Terminal (Part No. B018384) All Internal Model Applications In specific installations, for example under the floor, it is recommended that a remote terminal be used to terminate the flue on the outside wall of the building. Please refer to the instructions supplied with a remote flue terminal. Diagram 6 depicts a typical SP5 underfloor configuration.
SERVICE CLEARANCES Front/Back A minimum clearance of 500mm must be provided at the side facing away from the house. A minimum clearance of 300mm must be provided at each end of the heater. A minimum clearance of 1000mm must be provided above the heater roof. This clearance must be maintained for the entire surface area of the heater roof.
INSTALLATION OF FLUE TERMINAL The flue terminal for External models is supplied inside the heater under the roof. On one end of heater you will find the flue outlet socket under an installer instruction label. • Remove the label and insert the flue terminal firmly into the flue outlet socket in the correct orientation to ensure the flue gases are expelled away from the house (refer to Diagram 10).
FLUE TERMINAL CLEARANCES Heaters that are installed outside the house should be positioned so that, when measured from the edges of the flue, the following minimum clearances exist, which are in accordance with AS/NZS 5601: 75mm • Out from the wall against which it is mounted. •...
6. THERMISTOR INSTALLATION SP5 & SP6 INSTALLATION OF THERMISTOR All SP heaters are supplied with a remote thermistor assembly. The thermistor must be installed in the supply air duct, between 1m to 3m away from the heater, but never beyond the first Branch Take Off (BTO) fitting. Note: Where an Add-On air conditioning indoor evaporator coil is installed, the thermistor must be located in the discharge air pop of the indoor coil.
7. CONDENSATE REMOVAL All SP6 models have a condensate drain outlet. A fitting and clamp are provided loosely beneath the heater lid for connection to the drain (refer to Diagram 13). • For External models, the outlet is located in the bottom corner below the gas supply connection point. •...
8. ZONING AND ADD - ON SP5 & SP6 ADAPTIVE ZONING AND ADD - ON AIR CONDITIONING SP5 and SP6 heaters can be configured for zoning and/or Add-On Refrigerative Air Conditioning. There are three 24 Vac relays on the heater’s control module, which can be configured for either three zone motors, or two zone motors and Add-on refrigerative air-conditioning control as shown in Diagram 14 below.
9. DUCTING Good duct design and sizing are essential to every Central Heating system. Use the Product Sizing Guide and technical data within this manual for the best results and follow these guidelines: • Ductwork should be well insulated and airtight and have a minimum insulation rating of R1.0 (R1.5 in some areas).
10. OUTLET GUIDE The outlet chart (Table 8 on page 26) provides recommendations based on using the Product Sizing Guide or a system designed using accepted design principles. These figures also relate to typical size registers and diffusers used on domestic heating systems i.e. 300mm x 100mm floor registers and 150mm round ceiling diffusers, with 150mm ductwork connection.

11. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION All SP heating systems can be controlled by various Thermostats, the Networker is detailed below. A Thermostat inside the house is wired to the control module in the heater. The Thermostat monitors the temperature in the house, and switches the system ON and OFF in order to maintain a set temperature.
Wiring a Networker to a StarPro Heater a. Run a twin wire cable from the heater to the networker (for example, figure-eight cable, 0.75mm b. Remove the backing plate from the Networker by unclipping it at the sides. c. Draw the wires from the wall cavity and feed them through the opening in the backing plate. d.
a. Mount the Networkers in their ideal locations and connect the wiring as shown in Diagram 19. b. Determine which networker will be the Master and which will be the slave. There must be a Master and Slave Networker for a dual Networker system to operate correctly. All Networkers come set as Masters by default, which means only the Slave Networker needs to be configured.
12. COMMISSIONING AND CONTROL SETTINGS All of these heaters have been factory tested, but should be commissioned and adjusted in accordance with the following instructions to ensure efficient and optimal heating performance. Remember: • Mains power must be switched OFF before any wiring is touched. •...
12.2 INSTALLER PARAMETERS – CONTROL LCD DISPLAY SETTINGS Table 9. Heater Installer Parameters – SP5 and SP6 DISPLAY DESCRIPTION HEATING: MAXIMUM FAN SPEED SETTING The number displayed is the default fan speed setting. That is, the fan RPM setting for normal heating operation. This setting can be adjusted from 500 to 1350 and should be set to meet the installation airflow requirements.
12.3 SP5 & SP6 COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS With a correctly designed and installed ducted system, generally, the balancing damper in an outlet should be initially set as follows: • Living areas: 100% open • Bedrooms: 50% open • Bathrooms, ensuite and laundry: 25% open. 12.3.1 Initial Ignition and Gas Inlet Pressure Check •...
