Code 82 is gas type data failure. You need to program the PCB for proper gas type

Just installed a Rheem RTG-95DVLN. Tried turning it on but all im getting is the # 82 flashing & beeping incessantly! Anybody know why or have any suggestions? Im completely stumped...

According to Rheem trouble shooting, at the end of page 61, error code 82:
Error Code 82
Explanation: Gas Type Control Data Failure; Printed Circuit Board data failure. The PCB has not
been programmed, lost its programming or has failed.
5. If the unit does not operate on initial installation or after replacement of the PCB, then the
circuit board requires programming with the fuel type and altitude chip.

Error Im getting is C8 82

Before calling service tech, copy following link for Rheem-Paloma troubleshoot resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html
C8 is usually the PC board, or could be failed gas solenoid valve.
82 is gas-type-data-failure = program PCB for proper gas type, or proper altitude above sea level.

If this is new installation, Rheem-paloma might tell you to contact the installer.
If this is older tankless that worked before, then things point to failed PC board. Rheem-paloma may send you new PCB for free if unit still under warranty period for defect parts.

Rheem does not post service manuals, but will send instructions.
Hopefully the success rate for replacing your main PC control board will have better outcome than expected when replacing motherboard on your computer.
Perform regular maintenance to avoid some common error codes.

Getting a error code C2 82 on PTG-42PVN / RTG2-42PVN Natural gas indoor

This error code will occur for two reasons:

1. The heater has lost its programming and you will need a new programming chip from Rheem. (866) 720-2076
2. The igniter module is located behind the Printed Circuit board and will need to be relocated.

Rheem RTG53DVP code 82

Before calling service technician, open following link for resources including error codes, Rheem chat and possible manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error codes are considered start-point for troubleshooting, and give service technician direction for isolating problem.
Error 82 appears as 'gas type data failure' > 'Program PC board for proper gas type.'

Gas type is choice between LP gas and NG natural gas.
Gas type programming is controlled with dip switch setting.
I do not have service manual for product, and would not suggest changing dip switches without specific information beforehand.

CODE C 4776 COMES ON DISPLAY AND UNIT SHUTS DOWN HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM

Check the gas inlet pressure as I am guessing this is an LP unit. Most of these problems come from a poor installation. Gas pipe too small, gas pressure too low, not enough combustion air. The other cause of error codes is a unit plugged into an extension cord. Also, if the flue is not installed properly, condensation can come back and damage the unit.

I am getting error code -0 and 82 PTG-74PVN

Remove power, disconnect remote terminal. Restore power, open a hot water valve and see if you get any hot water.

-0 82 error code PTG-74PVN Rheem tankless

I had the same problem, but when you change the PCB the chip has to be reset regardles of the elevation so it can communicate properly. The rest is easy, Find the DIP Switch located on the top left side of the PCB set switch #1 & #2 to the ON position push and hold the adjustment buttom till the display changes from flashing to illuminating the reset the DIP switch #1 & #2 to the OFF position and you are ready to go.

My Rheem Tankless Hot Water Heater is installed, but is it not attempting to start. The digital display keeps blinking 82, 0, 82 , 0 ...?

If this is a new board and Altidude chip with power on set dip switch 1 and 2 to on. Then press and hold adjust button until on board blinks fast then and you will see dashes on LCD display. Set dip switches 1 and 2 back to off. Turn on remote unit and you should see 100F. With any luck you are good to go.
