Optional Communication Devices and Software

Components

Note: The GPC-XP has its own USB port for direct connection to a desktop or laptop Windows based PC. For remote

communications via an internet connection or if you need to locate your PC further than the USB cable length allows,

you will need to consider the following devices listed in the table below. To configure and change setpoints on the

GPC-XP controller you will need to connect a Windows based PC or Laptop with WattMaster’s free Prism 2 software.

Information about the Prism 2 software is also listed in the table below

CommLink 5 Communications Interface

OE361-13

The CommLink 5 provides a PC connection to your AZ 2/GPC-XP network. If your GPC-XP Water

Source Controller is being used in conjunction with the Auto-Zone 2 Controls System, be sure to

consult the AZ 2 installation manual for wiring details.

Includes: CommLink 5, 6 ft. long USB cable, and 120/24 VAC power supply.

IP Module Kit - Internet/LAN Connection

OE415-02

Used for Internet or Local Area Network communications with the control system. Field installs by

plugging into the CommLink 5 circuit board and provides an addressable Ethernet connection to

the controls system from any computer connected to your building’s LAN. It can also be configured

to allow access to the control system from the Internet through your LAN if your Ethernet firewall is

configured for this option.

Includes: IP Link module, 10 ft. long Ethernet cable, and installation instructions.

MiniLink 5

OE364-23-AZ2

Used with all AZ 2 Controllers to provide network communications, zone voting, alarming, and ten

ant logging capabilities.

USB-Link II Kit

OE366

The IP Module provides Internet or Local Area Network connectivity to the CommLink 5. Simply

install the IP Module into your CommLink 5 and configure per the installation guide.

Includes: USB-Link, USB cable, modular connection cable, two mini-DIN to terminal adapters, and

Prism 2 software.

Prism 2 Front-End Computer Software

Free!

Prism 2 provides standard, easy to understand status screens for each type of AZ 2 equipment

installed. Prism software has provisions for custom screens which allow floor plans, equipment

photos, or user-defined summary screens to be implemented to meet their own individual needs.

All controlling setpoints, trend logs, and alarm conditions are accessed in the Prism 2 environment.

Prism 2 can be configured for direct on-site installation, remote modem connection, or TCP/IP

Internet connection to several installations.
