| Nuances and Criterion Verified While Applying a Named Schedule

The system checks for a few nuances and criterion when one is trying to apply a named schedule to a zone. Only if all criterion are met will the system let the user apply the named schedule.

Following are the criterion that are verified while applying a Named Schedule. 

• The desired temperatures set for named schedule must be within the building's desired temperature limits.
• The Schedule duration set for named schedule, must be within the Building schedule duration limits.
• The deadbands(cooling and heating) for the named schedule, must be the same as the deadbands used for the module.

Even if only one of the criterion is not met, a warning window is displayed as shown below:

Desired Temperature Warning

In this case the named schedule applied is outside the desired temperature limits of the building, which results in the system preventing you from applying the named schedule.

You must go back and edit the named schedule to perform within the set building parameters for it to apply.

Deadband Warning

In this case, the cooling deadband for the named schedule not the same as that of the module; thus, the system does not allow you to apply the named schedule.

You must go back and edit the named schedule to perform within the set building parameters for it to apply.
