Objective/Method/Outcome
Objective: Determines if the Mixed Air Temperature sensor is faulty.
Method: Checks if the sensor is faulty by monitoring the changes in the value of the sensor or if the temperature is out of range for more than the acceptable amount of time.
Outcome: Triggers an insight when it determines the sensor is faulty.
Description
Sensor validation rule: Check for unreliable readings in range and quality. This rule is part of the CopperTree Standard rule-set.
Diagnosis
- Verify sensor exists.
- Verify sensor has power.
- Verify reading in BMS.
- Replace if the sensor is broken.
Message
The mixed temperature sensor is reading outside reasonable range or is stuck on one value. This may negatively impact comfort or energy efficiency.
