EcoWave Package Overview
The EcoSmart Energy Management System
The EcoSmart Energy Management System reduces HVAC energy consumption without interfering with occupant
comfort.
EcoSmart thermostats such as the EcoTouch 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, the EcoTouch
will enter an energy saving mode, allowing the room to drift away from the desired set point. During this drift
period, the thermostat will operate the HVAC unit less often, reducing energy costs. When the room becomes
occupied again, the RecoveryTime™ technology built into each EcoTouch will return the room to the set point
without occupant interaction.
The EcoWave is available in several configurations to address specific requirements of multiple applications
including hotel, classroom, office, university dormitory, military residence hall, retail, public area, convention
center, and a wide variety of commercial and industrial spaces.
The firmware of standalone EcoWave thermostats is identical to the firmware of networked versions.
Standalone Thermostats can be networked by adding a network module to the base units at any time.
Programming features used during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting are available in the on-
screen Maintenance Menu.

EcoWave Package Overview
The EcoWave Package can be configured for many different HVAC
scenarios. For example:
One EcoTouch can control multiple HVAC systems, each equipped
with an EcoSource, but all directed by a single EcoTouch display
unit. This type of installation reduces the complexity of running
multiple HVAC units in a single large space and eliminating the
potential of opposing modes forcing equipment to compete
against each other.
Multiple EcoTouches can control one HVAC system, equipped
with one EcoSource.
The wiring interface conforms to industry standards. Telkonet
can develop specific wiring diagrams, if a complete specification
is provided for the HVAC unit(s) in use at the site.

EcoSource Installation
EcoSource
Wiring
The EcoSource controller connects to the HVAC system via standard wiring conventions, using 12-277VAC
voltages supplied by the HVAC equipment. The EcoSource can accept three different power sources, which
assist in scenarios where different components (heat, fan) are powered by different voltages. This
simplifies installation on units such as fan coils.
The EcoSource accepts standard thermostat wiring, typically 14-22 AWG. Wiring conventions follow
industry standards; however, it is important to note that the relay configuration is dynamic and can be
modified at the factory or in the field.
Figure 1: Internal View EcoSource
If the EcoSource will be mounted inside a metal HBSC unit or in a room with a large amount of metallic
equipment that may cause RF interference, an external antenna may be necessary.

Step 32 Level the backplate using a pen level across the bottom of the backplate.
Step 33 Place the speed nut on the backplate in the position shown in Figure 21, with the prongs
pointing inward toward the mud ring.
Step 34 Place the screw in the speed nut hole.
Step 35 Drive the screw into the mud ring. Use your fingers to hold the speed nut in place, to prevent it
from turning as the screw is driven. (The curve of the speed nut allows the head of the screw to
be slightly recessed into the backplate.)
Step 36 Mount the other screw in the hole on the right side of the backplate.
Step 37 Starting at the bottom of the terminal block and working up, use a precision screwdriver to
secure each of the wires into the appropriate pins on the terminal block. For low voltage, using
20-18 gauge wire, leave a minimum of 8” of wire exposed from the wall for connection directly
to the thermostat’s backplate WECO terminals.
Step 38 Low voltage only: Ensure backplate has appropriate jumpers between R, SW1 and SW2. If
installing on a heat pump, ensure there is a jumper between Y1 and W1. See Figure 15 on page
16.
Step 39 Verify each wire is secure by gently tugging on it.
Step 40 Ensure no airflow from the JBOX or wall cavity is able to seep into the thermostat through the
wire harness. Telkonet recommends the use of UL caulk or UL rated insulating tape to avoid
false temperature readings. Figure 20 on page 20 illustrates sections of insulating tape on the
backplate, covering the wall opening.
Instructions Common to All Three Low Voltage Options
Step 41 Hook the thermostat to the hinges on the right side of the backplate, as shown Figure 22.

EcoTouch Installation
EcoTouch
The EcoTouch is a remote thermostat that communicates with the EcoSource via the wireless ZigBee mesh
network. It comes with a built-in temperature sensor and IR occupancy sensor. An optional humidity sensor
may also have been installed into the EcoTouch.
EcoTouch Location Planning
Actual thermostat mounting height can vary between sites depending upon furnishings and aesthetic
considerations. The standard recommended height is approximately 60” from finished floor. Any rooms
designated as ADA should be mounted above 15” and below 48”. See Figure 24.

Table 4: EcoTouch Mounting-Best Practices
Mounting
Considerations
Best Practice
Distance to
Occupant
If the occupants will likely be stationary…
(e.g. sleeping in bed)
Position within 0 – 9 feet of their expected
location.
If the occupants will move occasionally…
(e.g. working at desk)
EcoTouch: within 9-18 feet of their
expected location
If the occupants will move regularly…
(e.g. walking in hall)
EcoTouch: within 18-25 feet of their
expected location
Line of Sight
Should not have its line of sight to the EcoSource partially obstructed by grills, registers, or
spinning fan blades.
EcoTouch has 140° wide horizontal viewing angle
Should point toward main sleeping area
If no door contacts or remote occupancy sensors are used in the guest room then the bed
should always be positioned within a 12’ radius from the front of the thermostat
Other
Considerations
Should be mounted on a wall away from heat or cold sources that could affect its
temperature reading. This includes direct sunlight, outside-facing walls with poor insulation,
walls with hot and cold riser piping, and walls near radiators.
Where possible, mount on an inside wall.
If a suitable location without a heat or cold source is not available, contact a Telkonet
Project Manager.
Should be mounted on the wall, not set into the wall. This will ensure that the backplate
provides proper airflow.

EcoTouch Configuration Changes
Regular Maintenance
Under normal conditions, a correctly deployed EcoSmart series will require no maintenance.
Procedure: Visual Inspection
Step 1 Verify that components have not been tampered with, destroyed or stolen.
Step 2 Verify that the components are securely mounted on their respective surfaces.
Step 3 Verify that the AC power is being supplied to the HVAC system.
Step 4 Verify that the power/data wiring between the EcoSource and the EcoTouch are intact and
connected.
Step 5 Re-associate all sensors.
Procedure: Functional Inspection
Step 1 Observe whether the HVAC system is operating (e.g. drive cycle) after entering the room.
In most cases, entering the room will have initiated an HVAC drive cycle after the Sensor detected
occupancy. Possible exceptions:
-If the temperature in the room is within hysteresis of the HVAC setpoint, a drive cycle may not
commence;
-A delay may have been programmed into the EcoSource thermostat, instructing the unit to wait for
a particular duration before triggering a drive. (Although uncommon, this feature is sometimes
requested by a property. In almost all cases, the delay is less than 3 minutes.)
Step 2 If a drive cycle does not initiate within 5 minutes of entry, force a drive cycle by temporarily
setting the thermostat to some arbitrary high or low temperature (ensure the HVAC mode is set
correctly).
EcoSource thermostats default to Occupied status if communication with the Sensor(s) is lost for any
reason. This permits the units to continue allowing the occupant to control the room temperature.
However, in this state energy savings will be lost. If in doubt whether the sensors are associated, re-
associate all Sensors.

Troubleshooting
Problem Potential Cause Potential Solution
HVAC unit does not operate.
Main electrical failure to the unit.
Many units operate on 230 or 277VAC
circuits, so although power is available
to the 110VAC plugs in the room, the
branch circuit supplying HVAC power
may be interrupted.
Dispatch maintenance. Verify mains
continuity to the unit.
GFI within the HVAC has tripped. Some
models of HVAC systems (often
PTAC/PTHP units) contain integral GFI
(Ground-Fault Interrupt) systems.
Occasionally, often after a power
outage, inrush current when power
returns can cause GFIs to trip. Most
times, this does not indicate issues
with the unit.
Check and reset units’ GFI systems.
EcoSource has failed.
Replace the EcoSource with a known-
good unit as a comparison-check.
If the replacement unit functions
properly, contact Telkonet and begin
the RMA process.
If the replacement unit does not
function properly, consult a local HVAC
technician to inspect your HVAC unit.
Door contact is not connected. Ensure that all door contacts are
connected.
Window or outside door is open. Ensure that no monitored windows or
patio doors are open.

Occupant returns to room and finds it
too hot or too cold.
During an Unoccupied period, the
EcoSmart system allows the
temperature in the room to drift away
from the occupants’ setpoint.
Telkonet’s RecoveryTime technology is
enabled to return the room to the
occupants’ setpoint within a time
defined in advance by the property
manager (this varies by property, but it
usually between 8 and 20 minutes).
Advise the occupant to wait 8 – 20
minutes. (This is the typical range of
defined recovery times requested by
customers in most installations.)
“Sensor Down” message 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.
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, such that the pillow area
of the bed(s) is further than 10-15 feet
from the sensor.
Assess the room, sensor placement,
and bed location(s). Verify that the
sensor(s) are deployed in accordance
with the Recommended Best Practices.
Corrective strategies may include:
a. Moving the sensor
b. Adding an additional sensor to
accommodate the new room
layout
c. Changing the room layout
d. Adjusting Sensor settings
(contact Telkonet to discuss
options)
e. Adjusting night delay (contact
Telkonet support for
assistance)
Occupant reports one mode
(heating/cooling) works but the other
does not.
Heat pump jumper is reversed or
changeover signal is backwards, or it
may be that the heat/cool jumpers are
reversed.
Correct jumper or changeover signal as
necessary.

Room does not achieve setpoint within
RecoveryTime.
The most common cause is that the
EcoSmart system is designed to recover
the temperature within a Comfort
Zone. The Comfort Zone is
programmable by Telkonet, and is
chosen by management before
installation.
The thermostat may be programmed
with settings not appropriate to the
specific deployment scenario.
Contact Telkonet Customer Support.
Telkonet will research the deployment
history, and determine whether a
completed Settings Sheet was provided
to us prior to thermostat shipment.
Note that Professional Services fees
may apply if a reported anomaly is
later determined to have been caused
by default settings when specific
preferences were not communicated to
Telkonet prior to device shipment.
Often an HVAC unit is in need of
servicing. For example, a unit with a
failing compressor or under-charged
refrigerant may not be able to
efficiently return the room to the
occupants’ desired setpoint.
Ensure the PTAC unit is in good working

Connecting Pins
Controlling the Cooling Valve with a 0-10 Volt Signal
1. Using the J5 Molex connector, connect Pin 5 to the Valve 0-10v input line.
2. Connect pin 1 (GND) to the Common line on the valve.
Note: You must also jumper pin 1 to the 24v COMM if the valve is referencing 24v Common.
Controlling Heating Valve with a 0-10 Volt Signal
1. Using the J5 Molex connector, connect Pin 6 to the Valve 0-10v input line.
2. Connect pin 1 (GND) to the Common line on the valve.
Note: You must also jumper pin 1 to the 24v COMM if the valve is referencing 24v Common.
Controlling an ECM Fan Motor
(Firmware must be pre-setup to provide this output.)
• Using the J5 Molex connector, connect Pin 6 to the ECM Motor 0-10v input line.
• Connect pin 1 (GND) to the Common line on the ECM Motor control board.
Note: You must also connect the 24v COMM if the valve is referencing 24v Common.
Adding Jumpers
Place 2 jumpers side-by side on connector J6. (J6 is located below the radio board. See Figure 31.
• Place one jumper on pins 1 -> 2, as shown in Figure 32. Jumper 1->2 is for 0-10V; no jumper 4-20mA.
• Place the other jumper on pins 3 -> 4. Jumper 3->4 is for 0-10V; no Jumper 4-20mA.

Appendix A
Calibrate the Analog Output to 5.0V
Equipment Needed: Voltmeter
• Set voltmeter to DC Voltage.
• On J5, measure between Pin 1 (Orange) and Pin 5 (White).
• Change thermostat mode to OFF.
• Enter Advanced Command 35 01 and press ON/OFF.
• Enter Advanced Command 36 36 and press ON/OFF.
• This should cause your reading to go close to 5.0V.
• Change the value of 36 36 up or down a few values so it reads close to 5.0V. If you have to raise it
more than 36 50 or lower than 36 25, then there is an issue. Contact engineering
• Enter Advanced Command 35 00
• Verify that in the OFF mode, output is approx. 0.0V.
