GETTING STARTED Welcome The ecobee Smart Si thermostat has been designed in partnership with HVAC contractors to ensure the installation process is simple and efficient. This step-by-step Installation Manual will walk you through all aspects of the installation. To ensure an on-going service relationship with your customers, please register all of your ecobee thermostats in your Contractor Portal.
Please read it carefully before beginning the installation. For information on how to operate the ecobee Smart Si thermostat, please see the Smart Si Thermostat User Manual. The Smart Si thermostat is designed to be mounted on the homeowner’s wall in a convenient location.
HVAC System Compatibility Information The Smart Si thermostat is designed to operate with low-voltage heating and cooling systems. It is not designed for use with line-voltage or millivolt heating and cooling systems. The Smart Si thermostat supports: Up to 2 heat and 2 cool stages on a conventional system.
Approvals This product was designed and built in accordance to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and contains no hazardous substances as defined by this directive. FCC Compliance Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
FCC ID: WR9EBSTAT IC: 7981A-EBSTAT Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ecobee Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Specifications Temperature ranges Heat: 45 to 79 °F (7 to 26 °C) Cool: 45 to 92 °F (14 to 33 °C) Display: 40 to 100 °F (5 to 37 °C)

In the kitchen or other areas of potentially high heat and/or humidity In an area that could restrict air flow To install the thermostat: 1. Gently separate the backplate from the thermostat. 2. Place the thermostat backplate on the wall. Make sure that any existing wires can be inserted through the opening for the wiring.
To connect the thermostat to the equipment: 1. Connect the wires as shown in the wiring diagrams. 2. Attach the Smart Si thermostat to the backplate. Ensure that the pins on the thermostat align with the terminal block on the backplate.

CONFIGURING THE SMART Si THERMOSTAT The first step after installing the Smart Si thermostat is to configure the settings for the various devices (such as a furnace or air conditioner) that are being connected. Equipment To configure the The Equipment settings let you configure the equipment settings: devices connected to the thermostat.

from running 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 to 65 °F (–17.8 to 18.3 °C) or can be completely disabled.
Heat Fan Control Configures the furnace fan to be controlled by the Smart Si thermostat or the HVAC system during heat cycles. Normally the HVAC system controls the fan during heat cycles.

Compressor Settings Min Cycle Off Time Configures the compressor off time between cycles. This ensures the compressor does not short cycle (which could affect the operating life of the system). This time is adjustable from 240–900 seconds. Min Outdoor Temp Configures the minimum outside air temperature at which the compressor will be disabled.
is adjustable form 0 to 3 °F (-17.5 to 26.5 °C) in 0.5°F (0.5°C) increments. Heat Dissipation Time The amount of time the fan will run after the heat set point has been reached and the call for heat has been turned off.

start in stage 1. As the stage 1 temperature delta is exceeded, the second stage will engage. Once the equipment has brought the current temperature back to within the heat or cool differential setting, stage 2 will disengage and stage 1 will remain running until the set point is meet.
Temp Correction Lets you program an offset between the real temperature at thermostat and the displayed temperature. If you find that the temperature where the thermostat is located does not represent the room temperature, change the offset to compensate for the difference. The correct temperature is adjustable from +/- 10°F in 0.5°F (0.3°C) increments.
Reset HVAC Equipment Settings You can quickly restore all HVAC equipment To reset the Smart Si settings on the Smart Si thermostat back to their thermostat: factory defaults. Any user setting (not related to From the Home screen, the equipment installed) will remain unchanged.
Configuring Reminders and Alerts To configure Reminders The Reminders and Alerts list displays the and Alerts reminders and alerts described below. From the Home screen, HVAC Service press MENU. The HVAC Service (maintenance) reminder Reminders and Select generates an alert telling the homeowner that Alerts.
Alerts The Smart Si thermostat can generate alerts if the temperature in the home goes over or under a pre- programmed level. This protects the home from damage due to freezing and/or excessive heat. This alert, along with optional technician contact information will be displayed on the screen.
