Hello all,

I have a thermostat that's going to a cooling only box above an office
in an eleven story building that's reading a temperature of -327.68
degrees, and I'm pretty sure that's not quite right. Any idea what the
cause is, and what the fix might be?

Thanks

Sounds like it took an electrical spike and blew out the eprom

Seems that... as I recall... a 'no-count' at an analog input will give
you a number very similar....

A scaled but open 4-20 on a 8 bit processor, perhaps?

        It's a simple thermistor in a stock pre-configured VAV box
controller, I forget the specs offhand. I seem to recall it does that
-327 on open, and will show 999 on short. All depends on how the
point is mapped in software, of course - you could scale it any way
you want. So, 'open' is most likely, as you say.
