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

and Modbus. Since appliances come with a variety of controls,
interfacing with the various protocols presents different challenges.

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

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

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

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.
