CONTROLLERS
The 884 and 886 series can be installed with Rheem Deluxe controllers to enable the user to control the
temperature of the delivered water from the outlet of the water heater. Rheem standard controllers will not
operate with this water heater and should not be connected.
Deluxe Controllers
There are three types of Deluxe controller. They are the Kitchen Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299861,
NZ - Part A299861), Bathroom1 Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299862, NZ - Part A299862) and the
Bathroom2 Deluxe controller (Rheem AU - Part 299863, NZ - Part A299863).
The Deluxe controllers are suitable for use on all 884 and 886 series models.
The Deluxe controllers are identified by a 'K' (Kitchen Deluxe controller), 'B1' (Bathroom1 Deluxe controller)
or 'B2' (Bathroom2 Deluxe controller), located under the front panel, to the bottom left hand corner adjacent
to the BATH FILL VOLUME label.
The Deluxe controllers are designed to be hard wired into the water heater using either the Kitchen controller
cable (Rheem AU - Part 299856, NZ - Part A299856) or the Bathroom controller cable (Rheem AU -
Part 299857, NZ - Part 299857).
Notes:
•
One, two or three controllers can be installed. Only one of each type of controller can be connected to
the water heater. Therefore, a maximum of three controllers only can be connected to each water
heater.
•
A Bathroom2 Deluxe controller can only be installed if a Bathroom1 Deluxe controller is installed.
•
An additional Kitchen controller cable or Bathroom controller cable can be used if an extension of the
cable length is required.
It will be necessary to cut an opposite end off both cables to be installed in order to wire them together.
Alternatively, the cables may be extended using two-core flex with a minimum cross-sectional area of
2
0.5 mm
.
•
Other manufacturers' controllers are not suitable to and cannot be installed with this water heater.
Warning: Temperature controllers must not be fitted to this water heater (884 series) if it is installed as
an in-series gas booster with a solar water heater or if a Water Star water heater is installed, because water
at a temperature much higher than the controller setting can be delivered. If a solar or Water Star water
heater is installed to an existing water heater installation, then all controllers must be disconnected and
removed.
Location – The controllers must be installed in dry, shaded and clean locations.
Do not install the controllers:
Near a heat source, such as a cook top, stove or oven. Heat, steam and smoke will interfere with the
•
electronic components of the controllers.
•
In direct sunlight.
•
In or near a wet area. The controllers are not waterproof. Water may damage the controllers.
•
Outdoors. The controllers are not weatherproof.
