Phillips screwdriver 13 Step 1. Power o< your HVAC system Before doing anything else, power o[ your system. If your HVAC equipment doesn’t have a master switch, go to your circuit breaker box and turn o[ the breaker. Verify that the equipment is o[ by attempting to adjust the temperature with the existing thermostat. Power off your system 14 Step 2. Remove old thermostat If you don’t have an existing thermostat, skip to step 3. Remove the cover from your old thermostat. Most snap o[ easily but some may be attached by screws. Warning! If your old thermostat has 110/120V wires connected to the thermostat, it is a high voltage system and is not compatible with your ecobee 3 . Rc Rh G Y W C 110/120V ! 15 Look at the wires coming out of the wall. Take a picture for reference. Be careful not to let any wires fall back into the wall! Tip: Leave the wires attached to the base until you are ready to install your ecobee 3 . Rc Rh G Y W C C R Y W G Using the old thermostat base as a guide, label each wire coming out of the wall with the provided stickers. Discard any jumper wires between Rh, Rc, or R. Your ecobee 3 does not need them. They are jumpered automatically. When done, remove the old thermostat base by unscrewing it from the wall. 16 Step 3. Install Power Extender Kit (PEK) If you have a wire labelled “C” or “common”, skip this step. Warning: If you are not comfortable with working with your HVAC wiring, contact ecobee customer support or hire a professional installer. Some thermostats do not have a C?wire. The C?wire is used to provide power to the thermostat. In this case, the PEK can use the existing wires to power your thermostat. The PEK requires your system to have the following wires: • 4 wires: W, Y, G, and R (or R C or RH) • 3 wires: Y, G, and R (or RC or RH) 1. Make sure that your HVAC equipment is o[. 2.

Request for Confidentiality Date: __April 22, 2014______ Subject: Confidentiality Request for: ______WR9EBSTATZBE3______ Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, the applicant requests that a part of the subject FCC application be held confidential. Type of Confidentiality Requested Exhibit Short Term Permanent Block Diagrams Short Term External Photos Short Term Permanent* 1 Internal Photos Short Term Permanent Operation Description/Theory of Operation Short Term Permanent Parts List & Placement/BOM Short Term Permanent Tune-Up Procedure Short Term Permanent Schematics Short Term Test Setup Photos Short Term Permanent* User’s Manual *Note: ______(Insert Explanation as Necessary)______ ______Ecobee Inc_____ has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of ___180 2 ___ days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, By: __________________________ ____Kashif Ahmed________ 1 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.” 2 - Please refer to http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-Standard-Confidentiality.pdf for complete details.

This helps protect human exposure to excessive RF fields. Limit(s) and Method The limits, as defined FCC 1.1310 Table 1 (B) limits for general public exposure was applied. The limits for the frequency ranges 300 MHz to 1.5 GHz and 1.5 GHz to 100 GHz was applied. The limits are f/1500 mW/ cm 2 and 1.0 mW/ cm 2 respectively. The distance used for calculations was 20 cm, as this is the minimum distance an operator will be from the EUT during normal operation, as stated by the manufacturer. Results The EUT passed the requirements. The worst case calculated power density was 0.02 mW/cm 2 , this is significantly under the 1.0 mW/cm 2 requirement. Calculations 15.247 Device Method 1 (conducted power) Internal antenna P d = (P t *G) / (4*pi*R 2 ) Where Pt = 18.68 dBm or 73.79 mW as per Peak power conducted output Where G = 2.1 dBi, or numerically 1.62 Where R = 20 cm P d = (73.79 mW * 1.62) / (4 * pi * 20cm 2 ) P d = 73.79 mW / 5026 cm 2 P d = 0.024 mW/cm 2 Client Ecobee Inc Product Athena Standard(s) RSS 210 Issue 8:2010 / FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15:2014 Page 2 of 2 Report issue date: 5/8/2014 GEMC File #: GEMC-FCC-21842R1 15.249 Device Method 2 (EIRP) PCB antenna P d = EIRP / (4*pi*R 2 ) Where EIRP = equivalent isotropic radiated power Where R = 20 cm EIRP = E(dBuV/m) – 95.2 EIRP = 93.1 -95.2 EIRP = -2.1 dBm or 0.61 mW P d = 0.61 mW / ( 4 * pi * 20cm 2 ) P d = 0.61 mW / 5026 cm 2 P d = 0.00012 mW/cm 2 The limit for 927 MHz is (927/1500) = 0.618 mW/cm 2 The power density for Zigbee module is 0.0284 mW/cm 2 The sum of ratios for each transmitter is (P d (WIFI)/Limit(WIFI)) + (P d (903 MHz TX)/Limit) + (P d (Zigbee)/Limit) (0.024/1.0) + (0.00012/0.618) + (0.0284/1.0) = 0.053 The MPE requirement for collocated antennas are that the sum of ratios should be less than 1. The EUT meets the antenna collocation MPE requirements.
