RHEEM’S NEWHEAVY DUTY
GAS BMS INTERFACE
Rheem Australia has
released its new Rheem
Heavy Duty Gas BMS
interface module – and
it’s designed to make
life easier for facility
managers.
The new module
enables the interface
between individual
gas water heaters and
building management
systems to remotely
provide facility managers
with real time water heater
status. Identifying any issues is simple,
with the module providing a run/fail signal via voltage-
free contacts (common, N/O, N/C). It also features an
on board LED status.
Suitable for both new installations and retrofitting
to existing water heaters, the module mounts to
the outside of the water heater and is provided with
common, N/O and N/C contacts for field connection by
on-site trades.
The module is also ideal for indoor and outdoor
installation.
Operation modes include:
∫ RUN (N/O): water heater is heating water or is at
temperature (green LED)
∫ FAIL (N/C): gas valve lockout or over-temperature
cut-out trip, or loss of power supply (red LED or no
indication)
The new Rheem Heavy Duty Gas BMS interface
module suits Rheem models 621265, 621275, 631265
and 631275.
Its dimensions are 231mm (h) x 112mm (w) x 78mm
(d).
