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.

Default Priority

High

Diagnosis

  1. Check if the equipment is manually overridden.
  2. Check interfacing relays.
  3. Check status sensors.

Message
