Input Constants

Name Data Type Default Value Description
Delay Numeric 120 The delay represents a span of time in minutes during which the sensor must be in a fault state before the rule starts to actually report that it is in a fault state. The intent of the delay is to reduce the level of alert noise by ensuring that the system does not alert until the fault condition has been in effect for some minimal interval of time.
Cooling Command Threshold Numeric 0
Discharge Air Temperature Error Threshold Numeric 4
Maximum Heating Command Threshold Numeric 100
Variance Threshold Numeric 1

3.1.82.1 - Single Zone AHU Has Insufficient Cooling Capacity

Summary

When the single zone temperature is greater than a maximum error allowed and the cooling has been commanded to maximum cooling.
