The Rinnai Q boiler is a room sealed, condensing
and modulating central heating boiler. The Q175C
has an integrated domestic hot water feature.
The boiler is provided with a integrated control
system. Because an outdoor sensor is connected
to the boiler, the boiler works weather dependantly.
This means that the boiler control measures the
outside temperature and ow temperature. With
this data the boiler calculates the optimal ow
temperature for the installation.
When the boiler is connected to an RS100 room
thermostat information can be retrieved from the
boiler. For more information about the Rinnai
thermostats. Please refer to the user manuals.
On the bottom left side of the front panel there is a
small door. Through the transparent panel you can
see the boiler status on the display. After opening
this door you will nd the function buttons.
On the following pages you will nd the explanation
of the function buttons and display messages.

When the pump program LED is ON, the pump
is switched into a continuous circulation mode.
When the pump mode is switched OFF, LED is
off the pump is control by the boiler processor.
In most situations it is best to leave the pump
mode OFF and let the boiler control cycle the
pump as needed.
During freezing temperatures it is possible (when
there is no outside sensor connected), to manually
place the circulation pump in constant circulation
mode, thus reducing the chance of freezing pipes
(garage, attic or other cold spaces / rooms) which
are sensitive to frost.
When the pump is switched
on continuously it can lead
to undesired heating up of
the central heating system
during the summer.

Water pressure in the central heating system
The installation will function optimally with a water
pressure of between 22 and 25 PSI.
If the water pressure drops below 14.5 PSI, the
display will show FILL. During this message the
boiler will remain functioning at a reduced level.
After replenishing the system (see following
chapter) just above 22 PSI the message FILL
will disappear and the boiler will function normally
again.
When the water pressure drops below 10 PSI, the
display will show a ashing FILL text.
The boiler will shut down and will function normally
again after replenishing the system to just above
22 PSI.
To retreive the water pressure on the display from
the Good reading:
- Press the Step key once briey.
The water pressure will be shown.
Press the Step key briey to return to the Good
reading.
Water pressure is too high (>52.2 PSI), if HIGH
indication remains continuously visible, the boiler
is taken out of operation. The installation pressure
needs to be decreased by draining water until the
pressure is between 22 and 25 PSI.
Message ' Water pressure
too low' on your RS100
thermostat.
On the display of the RS100
a low water pressure can
be indicated. For further
information see the relevant
user manual.

of frost arises one should take care that the
remaining central heating water in the boiler does
not freeze.
Holiday
* If you have a RS100
thermostat it is provided
with a holiday program.
The holiday period can be
adjusted on the thermostat
itself. The central heating
and DHW supply are
switched off during that
period. There is also the
option that only the central
heating is switched off. With
all of these possibilities the
frost protection system is
