Steps involved in navigating equipment charts:
Navigate to the buildings tab and select the building you want to work with. Since we are going to talk about RTUs and AC units first, select one of these units that you want to examine, for example AC 3 in our case.
Now, click on the charts tab at the top of the screen. The first chart shown will always be of the indoor temperature for that day which is a thermostat chart type.
On the top right of the screen you can adjust the time period that this chart covers. The day, week, and month work as their name says and they have the ability to be changed by selecting the calendar icon to the right. On the other hand, the custom option allows you to input any start and end date desired.
You can also change the type of metric the chart displays. Typically, the indoor temperature and set point options are the most popular. Indoor temperature simply shows the fluctuation of the temperature inside throughout the day. The set point option shows both the heating and cooling set points and if the indoor temperature is reaching a level that passes either of these. Other options such as indoor humidity, indoor outdoor temperature, and more can be selected using the dropdown.
You also have the ability to see charts for the supply and return sensors from the dropdown on the left, but this is mainly done if there is a suspected problem with one of the sensors.
We will now move to looking at refrigeration charts with the example of a walk in cooler. In terms of changing the time period this chart measures, it behaves exactly the same as discussed before. One difference is that there is only one dropdown, which displays different chart metrics. For refrigeration, temperature and humidity are typically the most important though the other options can be viewed as well.
The temperature chart displays the temperature in the walk in cooler, while the humidity chart displays the humidity inside the cooler as well. You are now ready to look at charts for your own equipment!
