FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKS
1 Ensure the network cables that connect between CM (communication module) and all water
heating appliances in the network chain are installed correctly - see pages 6 - 20.

mounted properly on all tank type water heaters in the network - see pages 11 - 20.
ESTABLISH THE NETWORK
1
Disconnect the Internet connection cable from the CM’s “LAN PORT” socket
if it is
connected - see Figure 21 on page 30. This step is critical do not proceed unless the internet
connection cable is unplugged.
2 Restore power to all connected water heating appliances on the network.
3 Ensure the CM’s 5 VDC Power Supply is plugged into an available 120 VAC wall outlet and plug
the 5 VDC round plug from the Power Supply into the CM’s 5 VDC Socket - see Figure 21 on
page 30 and the instructions on page 9.
The LCD on the CM should display the
“Booting iCOMM™ Please Wait”
message. If no
message is displayed on the CM follow the procedure outlined in the Service Note on page 9.
During the boot up process the CM will attempt to establish a connection with the iCOMM™ web
site and look for connected appliances on the network. The
“Connecting to Server and Units”
message may also appear.
Use the Display Button (page 30) on the CM to advance through the information screens - see
the illustrations below.
4 At this point the Internet connection cable should still be disconnected from the CM and some
appliances may still be in their boot up process. The CM may display the
“No Network Found”
or the
“No Units Found”
error message. The CM’s (and Alarm Box if so equipped) audible
alarm may sound and LCD back light will flash on and off. Press the Display Button on the CM
(Figure 21 on page 30) several times to silence the audible alarm(s) and temporarily disable the
visual alarm(s). Disregard these error messages if present and continue to the Assign Network
Addresses section on page 26.
