Facilities engineers who will maintain Telkonet devices HAT IS Aida thermostats are like traditional thermostats in that they are wired to the HVAC system. They feature six relays, and the occupants interact with them to adjust room climate. Aida thermostats are different than traditional thermostats in that they are “smart”.
Aida IOM AXIMUM UMBER OF SSOCIATED EVICES Aida can accept associations with up to 32 total Telkonet and other compatible wire- less devices, such as occupancy sensors and door contacts. OW TO UPPORT URING NSTALLATION Contact your dedicated Telkonet Project Manager if you have any installation ques- tions.

OCATION LANNING 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.
