Occupant returns to room and finds it
too hot or too cold.
During an Unoccupied period, the
EcoSmart system allows the
temperature in the room to drift away
from the occupants’ setpoint.
Telkonet’s RecoveryTime technology is
enabled to return the room to the
occupants’ setpoint within a time
defined in advance by the property
manager (this varies by property, but it
usually between 8 and 20 minutes).
Advise the occupant to wait 8 – 20
minutes. (This is the typical range of
defined recovery times requested by
customers in most installations.)
“Sensor Down” message appears on
thermostat.
One or more sensors have lost
association to the thermostat.
Dispatch M aintenance to the room. Re-
associate all sensors via procedures.
Replace the batteries in all sensors
within the room.
Evaluate the wiring between each
sensor and the thermostat.
Occupant reports HVAC shuts down
while they sleep.
Sensor is not accurately detecting
occupancy. This is typically seen in
deployments where the bed placement
within the room was changed after
installation, such that the pillow area
of the bed(s) is further than 10-15 feet
from the sensor.
Assess the room, sensor placement,
and bed location(s). Verify that the
sensor(s) are deployed in accordance
with the Recommended Best Practices.
Corrective strategies may include:
a.
M oving the sensor
b.
Adding an additional sensor to
accommodate the new room
layout
c.
Changing the room layout
d.
Adjusting Sensor settings
(contact Telkonet to discuss
options)
e.
Adjusting night delay (contact
Telkonet support for
assistance)
Occupant reports one mode
(heating/cooling) works but the other
does not.
Heat pump jumper is reversed or
changeover signal is backwards, or it
may be that the heat/cool jumpers are
reversed.
Correct jumper or changeover signal as
necessary.
