Sequence of Operations
The auto-commissioning test does not require a flow sensor or an auxiliary temperature
sensor. If there is no flow sensor, the controller runs in pressure-dependent mode. An
auxiliary temperature sensor in the discharge air stream is required for testing of the fan
and the reheat. The fan and the reheat are not tested if the discharge air temperature
sensor is not present. The fan is not tested if there is no fan. Local reheat is tested, if it
is present. Remote reheat is not tested.
The sequence starts on receipt of an auto-commission command from the Tracer
Summit
™ BAS or the Rover™ service tool. The auto-commission command contains a
time/date stamp. No third party tool can start the auto-commissioning sequence. The
user then chooses to commission all VAV boxes or one VAV box.
The results of auto-commissioning are contained in a structured network variable called
rep
orted auto commissioning report. The controller places the time/date stamp in the
report. The structure is loaded with the default values for all of the fields when the auto-
commissioning test sequence starts. The the fields are updated with the results as the
sequence progresses. The data is held until the next auto-commissioning test.
If an auto-commission command is received in the middle of an auto-commissioning
cy
cle the auto-commissioning sequence restarts. If an auto-commission command is
received during calibration, calibration aborts and restarts after auto-commissioning
finishes. If an abort auto-commission command is received during the calibration portion
of the primary air valve test, it is honored after the air valve calibration finishes.
The mode field of reported unit status reports TE
ST when the controller is in the auto-
commissioning sequence.
