If unit worked before: Maybe bad PC board. Maybe lack of required yearly maintenance.
Common error codes can be caused by not following maintenance protocol such as cleaning combustion parts, checking gas pressure, checking venting, and air intake, bleeding gas line etc.
Too bad Rheem-Paloma manuals do not show HOW to conduct this maintenance, leaving customer with many unknowns, and no way to oversee that maintenance performed by hired technician is complete, and matches recommended maintenance.
Sell unit on ebay, and install tank-type gas water heater.

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.
