• Page 3: Revision 4 includes the FCC RF Exposure statement and the Canadian RF Exposure statement.
• Page 4: Intended audience includes installers and facilities engineers. Aida thermostats are wired to the HVAC system and feature six relays for climate adjustment. They are considered smart due to occupancy sensors that enhance their functionality. The Telkonet thermostat learns and adapts to heating and cooling patterns of each room. It adjusts based on factors like sunlight exposure throughout the day. The thermostat also learns occupant schedules and enters energy-saving mode when unoccupied. During unoccupied periods, it reduces HVAC operation to save energy costs. Telkonet Recovery Time™ technology ensures quick return to setpoint when the room is occupied. The thermostats are available in various configurations for different applications. They are suitable for hotels, classrooms, military residence halls, and other commercial spaces.
• Page 5: Aida can accept associations with up to 32 total Telkonet and other compatible wireless devices, such as occupancy sensors and door contacts. Contact your dedicated Telkonet Project Manager if you have any installation questions. Contact the Telkonet Support Center based on your support subscription plan.

Operation with non-approved equipment is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons.
• Page 6: Canadian compliance statement outlines that the device contains licence-exempt transmitters/receivers compliant with Canadian regulations. Operation is subject to conditions that the device may not cause interference and must accept any interference. The Canadian RF exposure statement indicates that the equipment complies with radiation exposure limits for uncontrolled environments and should be installed at least 20 cm from the radiator and the body. The product is intended for outlet box mounting and utilizes relays as load-controlling elements. It does not include GCFI functionality, which is required for systems controlling in-floor radiant electric heat. The product has a marked off position but can only open one pole of the load supply circuit. It is limited to controlling loads with only one ungrounded supply pole (120 or 277 V ac circuits). In the off position, the ungrounded pole is opened when the thermostat is turned off. The product is not suitable for safety or limiting applications. It is also not suitable for plenum applications or installations.
• Page 7: Chapter 2: Installation High voltage installation option Low voltage installation option (30 V or greater) There are 3 options. Select based on code and desired look. There is only one installation option: Drywall mount; no conduit required; no JBox adapter plate required. JBox with vertical mud ring mount requires adapter plate as shown in figure 3. JBox with horizontal mud ring mount.
• Page 8: Required equipment includes various tools and components necessary for installation. Anchors, screws, and backplate are essential for mounting. A drill, electrical tape, and screwdrivers are required for assembly. A JBox may be needed depending on the installation type. A level and screw terminal block are included in the package. Additional items like a voltmeter and wire harnesses may be applicable. Wire nuts and a wire stripper are also necessary for electrical connections. Chapter 2 focuses on installation procedures.
• Page 9: The Aida features a passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor, so where you install it is important. If you install it in an out-of-the-way area where it cannot sense occupancy, the heat or air conditioning will be more likely to shut off or drift while the room is occupied. Be sure to install the Aida within view of the bed as shown below.
• Page 10: Mounting considerations include positioning based on occupant movement. If occupants will likely be stationary, position within 0-9 feet of their expected location. For occasional movement, position within 18 feet of their expected location. For regular movement, position within 25 feet of their expected location. The thermostat has a 140° wide horizontal viewing angle. If no door contacts or remote occupancy sensors are used, the thermostat should be located with 9 feet of the bed with an unobstructed view. Placement guidelines suggest pointing toward the main sleeping area if possible. Mount on the wall, not in the wall, ensuring proper airflow. Standard mounting height is 60 inches from the finished floor. Mount on an interior wall if possible.
• Page 11: Aida IOM Placement guidelines Avoid spinning fan blades Avoid direct sunlight Avoid heat registers Avoid heat and cold sources in walls
• Page 12: High voltage installation should only be performed by a qualified heating & air conditioning contractor or licensed electrician. Failure to understand and follow all instructions carefully before installing or operating this device could cause personal injury and/or property damage. All wiring must conform to local and national electrical ordinances and codes. Prior to installation or service, disconnect system’s electric power at main fuse or circuit breaker box. Ensure the JBox has been installed with a vertical single gang mud ring. Turn off power at the Aida or mounting location using a disconnect switch or breaker lockout/tag out on appropriate breaker panel. Test that power is off by using a voltmeter. Cap the LINE wire with a wire nut or electrical tape. Connect wires and harnesses as per the pinout tables in the Tables section. Class 2 and Non-Class 2 wiring must not be mixed within a junction box or conduit run.
• Page 13: Backplate openings A and B, separate high, low voltage wire. For variable output connections, see proportional valve control; analog output on page 20. Line up the hinges on the thermostat to the notches on the backplate. Press the top of the thermostat tightly against the backplate. Slowly lower the bottom side toward the wall, ensuring no wires are pinched. Return the electrical circuit to operation and remove all lockouts or tags from the circuit breaker. Verify the thermostat display is active. Test all components to ensure engagement of heat, cool, and all supported fan settings. Once the thermostat is snapped onto the back plate, insert the safety screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. Chapter 2: Installation.

Relay specifications include RLY1, RLY2, RLY3, RLY5, RLY7, and RLY8, each with specific terminal connections and ratings. RLY1 operates at 5A with voltage options of 125/250/277 V ac. RLY5 and RLY7 have ratings of 10A and 8A respectively, with voltage options of 125 V ac and 277 V ac. RLY8 is rated for 11A at 277 V ac and is the only output device for controlling fixed electric space heating equipment. Relay connections must maintain the same polarity, and specific notes outline wiring requirements and limitations. The total connected load for Relays 5, 7, and 8 should not exceed 16 Amps. Wiring must exit the enclosure at designated openings, with restrictions on mixing Class 2 and Non-Class 2 wiring. The chapter concludes with an installation section.
• Page 17: Installation - Low Voltage (Class 2) Always ensure power has been turned off before starting installation. Turn off power at the Aida mounting location using a disconnect switch or breaker lockout/tag out on appropriate breaker panel. Test that power is off by using a voltmeter. Remove the safety screw from the left side of the thermostat using the hex wrench. Separate the back plate from the thermostat: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently press the tab next to the screw hole to allow the thermostat to pop open. For drywall mounting instructions, see below. For JBox vertical installation instructions: See JBox Using Vertical Mud Ring Instructions on page 15. Drywall mounting instructions (low voltage) require four 50 lb. EZ-Lock anchors and screws. Strip the LINE wire back 0.25 inches. Cap the LINE wire with a wire nut or electrical tape. Verify the wiring now looks similar to the provided figure.
• Page 18: Connect wires and harnesses as per the tables. Verify each wire is secure by gently tugging on it. Hold backplate against wall at appropriate height and level-mark your holes. Use appropriate drill for anchor and insert anchors into holes. Screw backplate to the wall and into the anchors, then re-check that it is still level. Screw the wires to the screw terminal block. Strip the LINE wire back 0.25 inches and cap it with a wire nut or electrical tape. Determine which end of the adapter should be situated on top and which on the bottom. Mount the Aida mounting plate to the mud ring with two #6-32 1” screws. Feed wire harnesses through the applicable holes in the backplate, ensuring high and low voltage wires are separated.
• Page 19: Steps common to all low voltage installation methods include hooking the thermostat to the hinges on the backplate and lining up the hinges with the notches. Care should be taken when bringing the top down to avoid pinching wires or bending pins. After snapping the thermostat onto the back plate, a safety screw should be inserted using a Phillips head screwdriver. All lockouts or tags from the circuit breaker must be removed before returning the electrical circuit to operation. It is important to test all components to ensure functionality of heat, air conditioning, and fan settings. Refer to the North American UL Rating Schedule for Class 2 details. The European CE Rating Schedule for SELV is to be determined. Chapter 2 covers installation.
• Page 20: Chapter 3: Add Ons The Aida interconnects with the existing HVAC system via standard wiring conventions, using 24-277 V ac or 24 V dc voltage supplied by the HVAC system itself. The Aida allows for three different control voltages. Telkonet provides bare wire leads on all connectors, and it is up to the installer to connect these leads using an appropriate method. Wiring conventions follow industry standards, but the relay configuration is dynamic and can be modified at the factory or in the field. All Aida models have two inputs for temperature probes, which can be used for multiple purposes including HVAC discharge air temperature and supply water temperature. For temperature probes not using Telkonet provided external probes, a probe with a Beta R0 must match specific requirements. All models have 2 CT inputs commonly used for monitoring or alerting on fan motors, compressors, or other equipment with excessive load. The CT inputs must be used with a compatible CT and sized appropriately for the load they will be connected to. Current Transformer (CT) approved models from Sentran Corp. are rated for various loads including 100, 50, 30, 20, and 10 A.
• Page 21: Preferred operating range is between 10 and 80% of rated load. Other models may be compatible: provide model number and specifications. If not sized correctly the CT may damage the thermostat. Chapter 3: Add Ons
