Environmental conditioning unit testing
First Claim
1. An environmental conditioning unit test system, comprising:
- a multi-sub-system air-conditioning assembly including a plurality of sub-systems for conditioning an indoor environment, the multi-sub-system air-conditioning assembly including a control board having control circuitry for controlling the plurality of sub-systems, wherein the control board stores configuration information about the plurality of sub-systems, sensor information about at least one sensor for providing test data and test information for testing the plurality of sub-systems; and
a remote test communications device connected to the control board via a data communications link,wherein the control board is configured to automatically perform a configuration of tests for testing sub-systems of the multi-sub-system air-conditioning assembly using the configuration information, sensor information, and test information in response to a test request received from the remote test communications device, to test the sub-systems based on the configuration of the tests, and to transmit results of the tests to the remote test communications device.

Abstract
An air conditioning unit test system includes an a multi-sub-system air conditioning assembly including a plurality of sub-systems for conditioning an indoor environment. The a multi-sub-system air conditioning assembly includes a control board having control circuitry for controlling the plurality of sub-systems. The air conditioning unit test system includes a remote test communications device connected to the control board via a data communications link. The control board is configured to perform a configuration of tests for testing sub-systems of the multi-sub-system air conditioning assembly based on receiving a test request from the remote test communications device, to test the sub-systems based on the configuration of the tests, and to transmit results of the tests to the remote test communications device.

6. A control board of a multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit, comprising:
-
memory having stored therein configuration information of sub-systems of the multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit, sensor information about at least one sensor for providing test data and test information for testing the sub-systems; an input/output (I/O) module configured to receive a test initiation request and transmit test result information; and a processor configured to receive the test initiation request, and in response to receiving the test initiation request automatically access the configuration information, configure and initiate testing of the sub-systems of the multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit based on the configuration information, sensor information and test information, obtain the testing results from sensors monitoring the sub-systems, and transmit the test result information to the I/O module to output to an externally-connected device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a request to test a class of sub-systems of a multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit; accessing configuration information, sensor information, and test information of the multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit stored in a control board of the multi-sub-system environmental conditioning unit; generating tests to perform on the sub-systems within the requested class of sub-systems based on the configuration information, sensor information, and test information; conducting the tests on the sub-systems; generating test results data based on conducting the tests; and transmitting the test results data to an external device;
wherein accessing configuration information, generating tests to perform on the sub-systems, conducting the tests, and generating test results data occurs automatically in response to receiving the request to test a class of subsystems. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
