INTRODUCTION
New building construction and energy saving techniques have
driven the need for improved communications between appliances
and building environmental systems. There are several different
protocols that have developed for accomplishing this task
including BACnet and Modbus. Since appliances come with a
variety of controls, interfacing with the various protocols presents
different challenges.
Industrial Control Communications (ICC) has developed the
devices to act as a communication gateway allowing appliances
to communicate to the different building management protocols.
The ICC module translates the appliance codes and commands
into the appropriate protocol language giving the end user the
ability to monitor and control the appliance. The end user will be
able to adjust and monitor the equipment and obtain better levels
of efciency and cost savings.
The ICC module in this kit has been designed to seamlessly
integrate with the water heater controls. Once the unit is
connected to the control and to the energy management system,
the user will be able to operate the unit with the Building
Management system interface.
WARNINGS
When installing the unit, ensure that all power is off before
opening any water heater enclosure. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock and/or possible damage to the unit.
Do not install in areas of high temperature, in excess of 167° F.
Install in areas not subject to water or excess moisture.

lists and instructions required to install and congure to your water
heater/boiler and BMS system.
Before plugging in the ICC Gateway, install the ICC Conguration
Studio from the USB key and run the program. Once running,
select File, Open Project and browse to the USB key and select
the conguration le whose name matches the gateway,
Because some USB hubs may not supply sufcient current to run
the Gateway, insure that the ICC Gateway is connected to the
power adaptor. Then connect the ICC Gateway using the USB
cable provided. Run the ICC Gateway Studio application from the
start menu.
Each conguration has default address and BACnet instance
settings that can be changed. For Mirius gateways, the default
Modbus address is 1 and the default BACnet address is 81. For
gas models the default BACnet Instance Number is 520081 and
for electric models the default instance number is 530081. For
Ethernet Gateways, the default setting is to acquire an IP address
automatically from the router (DHCP). If a static IP address is
desired this can also be set. To change these addresses and
communication settings, use the ICC Conguration Studio
application program. The latest version of this application program
can be downloaded from:
www.iccdesigns.com/icc-conguration-studio.html
Before making any changes, it is recommended to save the
installed conguration project using the disk icon or File -> Save
Project As, then give it a name and select the folder, nally press
Save.
To change the Instance number and the Device Name, scroll
down and select the Device Object and replace the text in the
boxes in the upper right corner.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
The module should be installed as close as practical to the water
heater control.
The ICC module uses a 120 Volt power adapter to supply 9 volts
DC for the unit. One 120 VAC outlet is required for each module
installed. The power adapter comes with a six foot length of wire.
If additional wire is needed, extra wire may be added, in
accordance with local ordinances for installation of low voltage
wire.
The ICC Gateway kit contains a USB key with the ICC
Conguration Studio program, all conguration les, parameter

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
There are two types of displays to consider when installing the
ICC gateway modules to the water heaters, the older type with
membrane switches and the newer style with a touch screen. The
new touch screen style display does not need the provided
RJ-485 splitter and it can be discarded.
TOUCH SCREEN STYLE DISPLAY INSTALLATION
HIGH EFFICIENCY WATER HEATER INSTALLATION – (BTH OR
BTX MODELS)
Follow the directions under general guidelines for connecting the
module to the Energy Management System and power. This
section will guide the installer on how to mount and connect the
module to the water heater. The control box and mounting location
on the water heater is on the top of the unit behind the display
module. See Figure 13.
Connection of the RJ-45 end of the communication cable to the
heater is required to plug into J13 of the control board inside the
“black controls box” (for newer models) requiring removal of two
screws holding the lid on. After plugging in the communications
cable, route the cable to the bottom side with the other cables and
put the lid back on with the two screws.
If the control board is in a “grey controls box” (for older model),
double check to make sure the display is not one with membrane
switches below and to the right of the display. If the display uses
membrane switches, please follow directions under the section
“MEMBRANE SWITCH STYLE DISPLAY INSTALLATION”. If it
has a grey box and is a touch screen display (replacement of
original) then the communications cable must be plug inside the
box to J9 or J10. This will require removal of the two screws
holding the lid on. After plugging in the communications cable,
route the cable to the right side with the other cables and put the
lid back on with the two screws.
