INSTALLING THE
ECOBEE SYSTEM
Planning the Installation
Prior to installing the ecobee EMS, we recommend that
you consider the following:
Where is the ideal location to mount the
Equipment Interface?
On a relatively at surface
In an environment that does not exceed the
temperature or humidity level outlined in the
specification section of this manual.
In a location that is within the maximum wiring distance
of the HVAC equipment and the Thermostat.
How do I intend to power the ecobee Energy
Management System?
Does the HVAC system control board have enough
spare capacity to power this system?
Do I need to provide a 24Vac transformer?
Do I have access to a 120V electrical output to use the
optional 12Vdc power adapter?
Where is the optimum location for the Thermostat?
Within the maximum wiring distance to the
Equipment Interface.
Receiving good reception of WiFi signal (3 bars or
more) from the location.
If WiFi reception is sub-optimal, what will be
relocated, the Thermostat or WiFi router?
Do the temperature and humidity levels adequately
represent the area controlled by the HVAC system?
How is the WiFi and Internet connection congured in
this building?
Do I have access to the customer’s WiFi and/or
internet connection?
What information do I need to provide to the IT sta
to ensure the ecobee EMS can successfully connect to
their WiFi and/or internet connection?
Once you have planned your installation continue with
the installation instructions.
