Objective/ Method/Outcome
Objective: Determines if the airflow sensor is faulty.
Method: Compares the recorded airflow to the 24-hour maximum and minimum to find if the airflow sensor is stuck on the same value or if the sensor constantly outside the acceptable range.
Outcome: This rule generates an insight.
Description
Sensor validation rule: Check for unreliable readings in range and quality. This rule is part of the CopperTree Standard rule-set.
Default Priority
Low
Diagnosis
- Verify sensor exists.
- Verify sensor has power.
- Verify reading in BMS.
- Replace if the sensor is broken.
Message
Airflow sensor is reading outside reasonable range or is stuck on one value. This may negatively impact comfort or energy efficiency.
