IBC will typically supply a SD Card with the BIC Please contact IBC if a new or replacement SD Card is required The SD Card is specially formatted with both a Windows compatible partition and a hidden partition that typically cannot be accessed by a Windows based computer Do not reformat or repartition the SD Card Important e Do not remove or insert the SD Card from the BoilerNet Interface Controller while it is powered on doing so could result in data loss and or corruption of the SD Card e The BoilerNet Interface Controller will not function or will stop functioning if the SD Card is not present or is removed e The SD Card must be writable not locked while in use in the BIC e Acard with a speed class of 4 or higher minimum 4MB second write speed is required V1 00 6 IBC BoilerNet Interface Controller Il 8 3 Installation The BoilerNet Interface Controller requires a Network Ethernet cable connection to the network it is to be connected to a BoilerNet twisted pair connection to the boilers and a power source 3 1 Location Typically the BIC II will be installed in the same room as the boilers it will be interfacing to It can also usually be installed in a location remote to the boiler room if required Note that the total length of the BoilerNet twisted pair wire is limited and is generally shorter than the permitted length of the network Ethernet cable Therefore it is usually better to extend the ne
