Wiring Specifications
Refer to this table to determine maximum wire lengths
allowed:
Smart Thermostat to Equipment Interface
you will be shown a diagram of the wiring connections
that reflects the choices made during the wizard
process. You can press Back to go back and make
any changes. Once you are satisfied with the setup,
press Done.
Equipment
The equipment setting will allow you to manually
configure the various devices that are connected to
the Equipment Interface.
Heat Pump
This section allows you to enable and configure up to
a 2 stage heat pump. If a second stage is required
you must configure an Accessory relay to control that
stage Geothermal/Ground Source Heat pump If you
select Yes, this tells the system a geothermal or
ground source heat pump is being controlled. This
helps the Thermostat determine optimum
performance and default settings.
If you select NO, the system will optimize for an air-toair heat pump. O/B Energize on Cool If you choose
Yes, the reversing valve output (O/B terminal) will
activate when there is a call for cooling. If you select
No, the relay will energize when there is call for heat

Min Cycle Off Time Enables you to configure the
compressor off time between cycles. This is
adjustable from 240 - 900 Seconds.
Equipment Interface to heating/air equipment
Min Outdoor Temp Allows you to set the minimum
18 AWG 20 AWG 22 AWG
128ft/39m 80ft/24m 50ft/15m
outside air temperature at which the compressor will
be disabled. This performs two functions: You can set
it to prevent the compressor from going on when
the outdoor temperature is too low, thus resulting in
damage to the compressor. You can also set this
value to determine when you want the auxiliary heat
(if installed) to engage to help meet the set
temperature. The temperature range is adjustable
from 0°F (-17.8°C) - 65°F (18.3°C) or can be
completely disabled. You will need an
internet connection for this feature to operate
properly.
Configuring the
Smart Thermostat
Configuring the Installer Settings
Installer Settings let you configure the settings related
to the various devices (such as a furnace, air
conditioner, humidifier, dehumidifier or ventilator) that
are connected to the Equipment Interface.
To prevent accidental modifications to these settings
you can enable a 4-digit installer code. This code is
pre-programmed to 3262 and can be enabled in the
Thresholds option menu.
Installation Wizard
The Installation Wizard takes you step-by-step
through a series of choices regarding the HVAC
equipment intended to be connected to the Equipment
Interface.
Allow Heat Pump/Auxiliary Heat to Run
Simultaneously
If you select Yes and there is a source of auxiliary
heat, it will turn on in addition to the heat pump. The
heat pump will be energized for the first 30 minutes.
If, after 30 minutes, the set point has not been met,
the auxiliary heat will be energized to assist the heat
pump in meeting the load.If you select no, the heat
pump will be energized for up to 2 hours.
Simply answer the questions accordingly and press

If after 2 hours the set point has not been
met, the Thermostat will shutdown the heat pump and
energize the auxiliary heat to meet the set point. This
option should also be used for installation where the
heat pump evaporator coil is downstream from the
source of auxiliary heat.
more than 10 minute without reaching the set point it
will activate stage 3. A minimum run time of 10
minutes is used to ensure that proper circulation
throughout the system and that minimum cycle times
are maintained. For heat pumps with auxiliary heat,
the operation of the auxiliary heat will depend on the
configuration of the Allow Heat
Furnace (Auxiliary Heat)
Allows you to enable and configure up to a 3-stage
conventional heat source. If you have selected Heat
pump as your primary source, this feature will allow
you to configure the auxiliary heat connected to the
system.
Furnace Type
Allows you to configure the type of furnace connected.
This allows the Smart Thermostat to optimize its
algorithms based on the type of fuel and typical
characteristics of the chosen system. Choose the
option that best represents the type of heating system
installed.
Pump/Auxiliary Heat to Run Simultaneously.
Accessory relays
Accessory relays are generic relays that can be
configured to control the following;
Heat Stage 3 Select this option when the Thermostat
is required to control a 3-stage conventional heating
system. Connect the third stage (or W3) contact to
this accessory relay.
Heat Stages
Allows you to configure up to 3 stages of
heat. If you require a third stage, you must configure
an accessory relay to control that stage.
Heat Fan Control This option allows you to determine
if the system fan is controlled by the system during
heat cycles, or if the Thermostat is required to control
the fan. Normally the HVAC system controls the fan
during heat cycles.
Air Conditioner
Allows you to enable and configure up to 2 stages of
air conditioning. If you require a second stage, you
must configure an accessory relay to control that
stage.
Staging Method of Operation
The ecobee Smart Thermostat uses a unique method
for staging for multi-stage heating or cooling. It uses
a combination of intelligent algorithms and past
performance to determine when to activate the
stages.
When there is a call for heat or cool, the system
computes how long it would take for the system to
reach the desired set point in stage 1, stage 2 or
stage 3 accordingly. It will determine the highest stage
at which a minimum of 10 minutes of run time is
required. It will then automatically start the system at
that stage (ie if it calculates that it will take 15 minutes
at stage 2 but only 7 minutes at stage 3, the system
will immediately turn on stage 2 to meet the set point).
If the calculation indicates to start at stage 1, and it
takes more than 10 minutes to reach the set point,
it will automatically engage stage 2. If stage 2 runs for
