Return fan command and status signals are mismatched
Objective/Method/Outcome
Objective: Determines if the return signals of the return air fan are matching
Method: Compares the Command and Status to check if the command and status signals are active at the same time, to find out the hours of fault.
Outcome: Trigger an insight if the hours of fault are greater than the acceptable hours of fault.
Description
Compares the status and command signals to determine if there is a mismatch.
This rule is part of the CopperTree Standard rule-set.
