Subscribe to this service by downloading the telliCare app from iTunes App Store and following the prompts on the app.
Two status screens provide the expiration date of the service and if it is on an auto renewal schedule.

Connecting Multiple Units

General Information
Multiple units can be connected together to supply large demands of hot water.
The water heaters communicate through a cable connection between each water heater. The benefits of connecting the units are:

• When demand for hot water is low, fewer units will operate.
• If one unit has an error code, the others will continue to operate.
• Changing the settings (temperature, time, etc.) on one unit changes settings on all the units.
• It allows shut down of one unit for maintenance while the others continue to operate.

13.2 Installation Procedure

1. Connect all the units to a gas supply pipe. Make sure the pipe is properly sized in accordance with the BTU draw and number of units being operated. Refer to “6. Gas Connection” on page 18 for additional information.

2. Connect all the units to the power supply. Refer to “9. Electrical Power” on page 36 for additional information.

3. Install the combustion (fresh) air intake and exhaust outlet pipes. Refer to “7. Air Intake Inlet and Exhaust Gas Outlet Pipe Connections” on page 23 for additional information.

4. Install and connect the hot water lines. If an optional hot water storage tank is required, connect the hot water lines to this tank. Make sure the water pipe is properly sized in accordance with the number of units being operated.

5. Install and connect the cold water lines. Make sure the water line is properly sized in accordance with the number of units being operated.

6. Connect and route the condensate drain lines to a suitable discharge location. Refer to “8. Water Connections” on page 33 for additional information.

7. Do Not connect the communication cables at this time.

8. Power up all the units and assign a unique number, one through three to each unit. Set the STAGGING to ON.
   When the multi unit setup changed, the system take a few seconds to complete the changes.
   Note: Different A maximum of two iQ3001 water heater or three iQ2001 water can be connected. A iQ2001 and iQ3001 can be cascaded together as well.
   WARNING
   Before making any adjustments or connections inside the water heater cabinet, make sure the power is disconnected. Unplug the power and/or turn the circuit breaker OFF.

9. If necessary, press the Power button to turn OFF each water heater in the system and disconnect power from all the units in the system.

10. Open the side panels and locate the main circuit boards.

11. Connect the included communication cable from an open jack on the circuit board in one unit to an open jack in the next unit. Repeat this step as required by the number of water heaters being connected.

12. On the first water heater, Position the switch in the ON position (up) as shown in the table below.

13. Position all other switches on the circuit boards in the unit to the OFF position (down).

14. On any water heater unit between the first and last unit, the position of all DIP SW3 switches should be in the OFF position (down).

15. On the last water heater, locate DIP Switch 3 as shown in the table below.

16. Once the communication cables are routed and connected and the DIP switches are correctly positioned, close and lock the front door.

17. Reconnect the power and turn the water heater ON. The water heaters, should now be ready to communicate with each other and operate as a single system.

telliCare for Multiple Units
If cascading mulitple units, the Wi-Fi module on all units besides “Unit 1” in the sequence need to be disconnected to make room for cascade communication cables. Remove the attached cable at each end from the referenced jacks and set aside.

Note:
A. Whenever a change is made to any one water heater, all the other units in the system will be automatically updated to the new settings.
B. A simple way to check the cascading setup is to change temperature 1 degree down on one unit. All other units will show the new temperature within 2 minutes.

3. After inspection and/or cleaning, replace the air filter and snugly tighten the band clamp.

14.1.2 Cleaning Procedure

1. Liberally spray K&N Air Filter Cleaner and Degreaser (99-0606) onto both sides of filter and allow to soak for 10 minutes to loosen the dirt. Do not allow cleaner to dry on air filter.
   NOTICE
   K&N Air Filter Cleaner is the only cleaner formulated to safely clean K&N air filters with cotton media. The use of any other cleaning solution could damage the cotton material.

2. Rinse the air filter with cool low-pressure water applied from the outside inward in order to flush the dirt out of the filter. Continue to rinse the filter until all traces of cleaner are gone. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 1 and 2.

3. After rinsing, gently shake off the excess water and air dry the filter.
   NOTICE
   Do not use compressed air to dry the filter. Do not apply oil to the filter until it is completely dry.

4. Spray K&N Aerosol Air Filter Oil (99-0504) evenly along the crown of each pleat holding nozzle about 3” away. Allow oil to wick for approximately 20 minutes. Touch up any light areas on either side of the filter until there is a uniform red color at all areas.
