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

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.
EcoSensevsEcoSense+:Installation
Differences
If you’re accustomed to installing our traditional
EcoSense, you’ll find we’ve made some installation
changes:
*NEW* 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.
Before mounting, ensure backplate is rotated to the
correct position so that PIR is facing the appropriate
direction.
Adjust the PIR direction (between 40-90°).
Zone of Detection is elliptical and narrower (smooshed
cone).
Joining/Binding “tab” can be pressed with finger,
after cover is put on.
Traditional EcoSense
Old location rules apply.
Once installation location is determined, backplate
can be rotated in any direction before mounting to
surface.
PIR is stationary, therefore no need to adjust
direction.
Zone of detection is circular and wider.
Must use paperclip to press the Joining/Binding
button.
Join network and bind to thermostat in one process.
EcoSense+ joins the EcoSmart network, therefore it
takes up a slot on the coordinator and counts toward
Bind only, no need to join to network.

Mount on wall that people walk alongside.
Aim at area that will detect the most foot
traffic.
DistancetoOccupant:
If the occupants will likely be stationary
(e.g. sleeping in bed), position the
EcoSense within 12 feet of their expected
location.
If the occupants will move occasionally
(e.g. working at desk), position the
EcoSense within12-18 feet of their
expected location.
If the occupants will move regularly (e.g.
walking in hall), position the EcoSense
within 18-30 feet of their expected
location.
DistancetoEcoInsightorEcoSource
There is no minimum distance between the
EcoSense+ and the EcoInsight or EcoSource.
LineofSight
The EcoSense+ should not have its line of
sight to the EcoInsight or EcoSource
partially obstructed by grills, registers, or
spinning fan blades.

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.

Step 9 Join the EcoSense+ to the network and bind
it to the thermostat. See Device
Association Guide for instructions.
Step 1 Remove the security screw from the
EcoSense+.
Step 2 Disconnect the EcoSense+ cover from the
back plate by twisting the cover counterclockwise 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.
Maintenance
ReplacingtheBatteries
Estimated battery life is 6 years.
Batteries are monitored by the network. You will
be notified when to replace them. For nonnetworked 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 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.
Step Reinsert and tighten the security screw on
the EcoSense+.
If the device must be removed, always
reinstall in the same location and the
same position.

Troubleshooting
Problem Potential Cause
Potential Solution
Dispatch Maintenance to the room. Re-associate
all sensors via procedures.
Replace the batteries in all sensors within the
room.
“Service Sensor” appears on
thermostat.
Occupant reports HVAC
shuts down while they sleep.
One or more sensors have
lost association to the
thermostat.
Sensor is not accurately
detecting occupancy. This is
typically seen in
deployments where the bed
placement within the room
was changed after
installation.
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.
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.

Problem Potential Cause

*Network Re-Connection Pattern and Timing:
The EcoConnect Coordinator
has lost power.
X 3 attempts
X 4 attempts
Potential Solution
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.
