Field Modifications-Functional Caveats
 Telkonet ships equipment to customers pre-programmed based on a pre-deployment analysis
and discussion with Property Management. Generally, command-level programming at the
field level will not be needed.
 When a command change is needed, Telkonet will provide a detailed synopsis of the proposed
changes.
 Arbitrarily changing command values without prior discussion with Telkonet Applications
Engineering can result in suboptimal thermostat performance and a loss of energy savings. All
of these can possibly impact the user interface. For this reason, such arbitrary changes do not
represent a Recommended Best Practice, and any corrective actions taken by Telkonet
(including consultation) are subject to Professional Services charges at prevailing rates.
Regular Maintenance
Under normal conditions, a correctly deployed EcoSmart series will require no maintenance with the exception
of replacing the EcoAir and EcoSense batteries. The estimated battery life in an EcoAir is 2 years; in EcoSense
it is 4 years. Actual life will vary based on usage.
Procedure: Visual Inspection
1. Verify that components have not been tampered with, destroyed or stolen.
2. Verify that the components are securely mounted on their respective surfaces.
3. If applicable, verify that the AC power is being supplied to the HVAC system.
4. If units are hard-wired, verify that the power/data wiring between the EcoSmart VRF
Controller and the EcoAir are intact and connected.
5. Check for a Service icon on the EcoSmart VRF Controller display. This icon indicates loss of
association with one or more sensors.
6. If the icon appears, first check the batteries. Replace batteries if necessary.
7. If batteries are not the cause of the Service icon, re-associate all sensors per instructions in
the EcoSmart Firmware 2.x Device Association Guide.
Procedure: Functional Inspection
1. Observe whether the HVAC system is operating (e.g. drive cycle) after entering the room.
