iCOMM™ Remote Monitoring System
®
REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM
iCOMM requires an annual subscription be purchased and maintained in order to use the service. Subscribers are given a user name and password and access their designated product at www.aosmithconnect.com.
iCOMM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Q The iCOMM system only works with iCOMM compatible products featuring the
A. O. Smith advanced control. Product families compatible with iCOMM include Cyclone® Xi (July 2007 to present production), Cyclone® HE BTX100, Vertex™ 100, Gold Xi and Custom Xi commercial electric, Genesis® and VF Boilers (July 2009 to present production). Consult the compatible tab at www.aosmithconnect.com for more detail on iCOMM compatible models.
Q Always on internet connection at the water heater or boiler location. A wired ethernet cable plugs directly into the iCOMM communications module. If
wireless internet is to be used, an optional wireless adapter (sold separately) is required to provide internet access to the iCOMM communications module. (Wireless adapter recommended is Linksys WET610N or equivalent).
iCOMM HARDWARE
Q Communications Module (CM) is required for all iCOMM installations. The CM is the main component of iCOMM and is where
connection is made between the internet and the water heater(s) or boiler(s). The CM assembly ships with a leak detection device.
Q Multiple Device Adapter (MDA) is required when more than one water heater will be connected to a single CM. If more than one water
heater will be connected, then an MDA is required for EACH water heater to be connected to the CM. MDA(s) are not required with boiler applications or when only one water heater is connected to iCOMM.
Q The Alarm Box is an optional hardware component that connects to the CM and provides an audible and flashing alarm in the event
of low water temperature or other fault condition. The alarm box is wall mounted.
ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION
Q The iCOMM service requires an annual subscription be purchased in order to gain access to the iCOMM website and register units for monitoring.
Subscriptions are sold in year terms with a minimum of one year. In addition to accessing unit information at the iCOMM website, subscribers have the option of receiveing a monthly status update on all units registered to their account. Call 888-WATER02 for pricing and multi-year subscription discounts or visit www.aosmithconnect.com.
