The EcoSmart Energy Management System The EcoSmart Energy Management System is designed to reduce HVAC energy consumption without interfering with an occupant’s comfort. EcoSmart thermostats will automatically learn and adapt to the heating and cooling patterns of each room. For example, a room on the east side of a building will receive direct sunlight in the morning and will either need less HVAC heating or more HVAC cooling. However, as the day progresses, the room will need more HVAC heating or less HVAC cooling as it moves into the shade. An EcoSmart thermostat will continually monitor the room, learn its patterns, and adjust its heating and cooling profiles accordingly. EcoSmart thermostats also learn and adapt to occupant schedules. When a room is unoccupied, an EcoSmart thermostat will enter an energy saving mode, allowing the room to drift away from the desired setpoint. During this drift period, the thermostat will operate the HVAC unit less often, reducing energy costs. When the room becomes occupied again, the EcoSmart Recovery Time™ technology built into each thermostat will return the room to the setpoint without the occupant noticing FCCNoticeThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

EcoSense+ IOM Guide Telkonet, Inc. For Use With Firmware V. 2.x 20800 Swenson Drive, Suite 175 EcoSense+ Introduction Waukesha, WI 53186 Revision 2 (800) 380-9640 Page 4 www.telkonet.com EcoSense+ Introduction The EcoSense+ contains a PIR that detects both motion and heat to determine occupancy. It communicates information wirelessly to the EcoSmart thermostat. Remove the cover you’ll discover that the sensor is directional. Aim it in the appropriate direction to detect heat and motion. It is important to install the device in the optimal location and to aim the PIR correctly. EcoSensevsEcoSense+:InstallationDifferencesIf you’re accustomed to installing our traditional EcoSense, you’ll find we’ve made some installation changes: *NEW* EcoSense+ Traditional EcoSense May need to install in different location in the room than traditional EcoSense"We recommend mounting the EcoSense+ on the wall next to the bed, pointed down near the pillows of the bed. "Details on page 6. Old location rules apply. Before mounting, ensure backplate is rotated to the correct position so that PIR is facing the appropriate direction. Once installation location is determined, backplate can be rotated in any direction before mounting to surface. Adjust the PIR direction (between 40-90°). PIR is stationary, therefore no need to adjust direction. Zone of Detection is elliptical and narrower (smooshed cone). Zone of detection is circular and wider. Joining/Binding “tab” can be pressed with finger, after cover is put on. Must use paperclip to press the Joining/Binding button. Join network and bind to thermostat in one process. Bind only, no need to join to network. EcoSense+ joins the EcoSmart network, therefore it takes up a slot on the coordinator and counts toward the maximum devices per coordinator (65). Does not count toward maximum devices per coordinator.

AimthePIR*IMPORTANTSTEP*Step 5 Insert the angle set screwdriver into the set screw. Step 6 Rotate the set screw which in turn rotates the PIR sensor to the desired position. Use the Current Position Indicator as your guide. See Figure 1 PIR Rotation Design. Step 7 Replace cover by lining up the backplate with the cover and gently twisting it clockwise until it is seated correctly. Step 8 Insert the security screw and tighten. JoinandBindStep 9 Join the EcoSense+ to the network and bind it to the thermostat. See Device Association Guide for instructions. Maintenance ReplacingtheBatteriesEstimated battery life is 6 years. Batteries are monitored by the network. You will be notified when to replace them. For non-networked installations, the “Service Sensor” will light up when it is time to change the battery. Standard alkaline batteries are recommended for use in EcoSense+ sensors. Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Cadmium, or other specialized batteries may not provide acceptable long-term performance. Step 1 Remove the security screw from the EcoSense+. Step 2 Disconnect the EcoSense+ cover from the back plate by twisting the cover counter-clockwise and lifting the cover out of the back plate. Step 3 Disconnect the thermostat communication wires from the green dry contact connector, if any. Step 4 Remove the batteries. Step 5 Verify the battery terminals are clear of oxidation and battery acid. Step 6 Insert the replacement batteries. Step 7 Verify the batteries are firmly in place. Step 8 Reconnect the thermostat communication wires coming from the wall to the green dry contact connector, if necessary. Step 9 Align the EcoSense+ cover with the backplate. Step 10 Reconnect the face of the EcoSense+ to the backplate by placing it inside the backplate, then twisting the face clockwise until it is secure.

For Use With Firmware V. 2.x 20800 Swenson Drive, Suite 175 Troubleshooting Waukesha, WI 53186 Revision 2 (800) 380-9640 Page 9 www.telkonet.com Troubleshooting Problem Potential Cause Potential Solution “Service Sensor” appears on thermostat. One or more sensors have lost association to the thermostat. Dispatch Maintenance to the room. Re-associate all sensors via procedures. Replace the batteries in all sensors within the room. For wireless installations, ensure the EcoSense+ is mounted with a direct line-of-sight to the thermostat. The line-of-sight should not be obstructed by grills, registers, or spinning fan blades. For wired installations, evaluate the wiring between each sensor and the thermostat. Occupant reports HVAC shuts down while they sleep. Sensor is not accurately detecting occupancy. This is typically seen in deployments where the bed placement within the room was changed after installation. Ensure the EcoSense+ is aimed towards the bed. Ensure the EcoSense+ is mounted within 12 feet of the bed. Ensure the EcoSense+ is mounted with a direct line-of-sight to the bed. The line-of-sight should not be obstructed by grills, registers, or spinning fan blades. For spacious rooms, consider adding an additional EcoSense+ sensor.

The EcoConnect Coordinator has lost power. 1. Plug the EcoConnect to its power source. 2. Expect automatic EcoSource+ re-connection based on a specific interval attempt pattern (see table below*). How it Works: When EcoConnect power is lost, the EcoSource+ will automatically jump into action, attempting to reconnect to the EcoConnect at regular intervals. It will eventually reconnect to the (powered) EcoConnect, but be mindful of the interval: the EcoSource+ will try to reconnect every 15 minutes for a total of 3 attempts, then every hour (4 attempts), then every 4 hours (4 attempts) and once every 24 hours thereafter. *Network Re-Connection Pattern and Timing: X 3 attempts X 4 attempts X 4 attempts thereafter
