Historical alarm analysis
Turn long alarm exports into organized information you can actually work with. Review alarm activity, explore patterns, and spend less time sorting through individual records.
FAULTVOX / A PEAK SPARROW PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW · NOT YET COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLEYour building automation system collects valuable information every day. FaultVox turns historical alarm reports into a clearer picture of recurring problems, equipment activity, and the issues that deserve a closer look.
BAS alarm analysis software for the technicians and facilities teams who need to turn a long event list into a useful maintenance conversation.
THE CHALLENGE
A chronological alarm list tells you what happened. Seeing what keeps returning, which equipment is involved, and where to investigate takes a different kind of review.
Hundreds or thousands of records to work through in chronological order.
Recurring alarm sources scattered across long event lists.
Questions about which equipment deserves a closer look, without an obvious place to start.
Time spent organizing records manually before the real investigation begins.
Technical findings that need to make sense to directors and administrators.
MAKE MORE OF YOUR ALARM HISTORY
Bring alarm activity, recurring sources, and equipment history into a review that helps your team ask better questions and explain what it finds.
Turn long alarm exports into organized information you can actually work with. Review alarm activity, explore patterns, and spend less time sorting through individual records.
Find equipment and alarm sources that repeatedly appear in your history. Recognize patterns that might otherwise get buried in hundreds of event records.
See when alarms occurred, how often they returned, and how long they remained active when the records support reliable calculations.
Keep equipment information, maintenance notes, and related alarm history together, making it easier to investigate recurring problems over time.
Turn complicated alarm histories into understandable summaries for technicians, maintenance directors, and other decision-makers.
Work with your historical alarm information locally, without needing a continuous connection to your BAS or sending reports to a cloud analysis service.
WHO IT’S FOR
Investigate recurring equipment problems with alarm activity, maintenance notes, and equipment history together. Bring the underlying records into the conversation about what to check next.
See recurring issues more clearly, decide what deserves attention, and discuss the findings with technicians, staff, and administrators.
Make historical reports from the facilities you maintain easier to organize and examine. Build context for individual investigations and share that understanding across the maintenance team.
Make better use of the BAS reports you already have, with a practical, local-first approach to reviewing alarm history.
HOW IT WORKS
Start with the records your BAS already exports. Bring them into FaultVox, then follow the history from a broad overview to the equipment you want to investigate.
Export an alarm history in a compatible format. See the tested import format in Where development stands.
Import the report and review its alarm activity in one place.
Explore recurring sources, timelines, and equipment information. Use the summary views to explain what deserves a closer look.
PRODUCT VIEWS
FROM THE FIELD
FaultVox grew from a familiar challenge in facilities maintenance: building automation systems generate plenty of information, but turning that information into useful answers takes time.
Shaped by real-world HVAC and building automation maintenance experience, we’re developing practical tools to help technicians and maintenance teams make better use of the records they already have.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS
FaultVox is actively being developed and is not yet commercially available. The development preview already includes historical alarm analysis, recurring-source review, timelines and durations for records it can reliably match, equipment records, and summary views.
Tested today: Trane Tracer SC historical alarm CSV files. Some event types need additional interpretation, and findings depend on the quality and completeness of the imported records. Repeated notifications do not always mean separate failures; incomplete histories can prevent reliable duration calculations. Equipment matching and duplicate-profile handling are also being refined.
What’s next: the standalone Windows application and expanded reporting are being developed; additional manufacturer integrations are being developed or evaluated. Finished PDF and audience-specific reports are not yet verified as complete. Future capabilities will be announced as they are tested, without a promised release date or price.
FaultVox analyzes exported history. It does not provide live BAS monitoring, direct equipment control, or automatic diagnosis. Alarm durations do not by themselves establish equipment downtime. Findings help guide investigation and do not replace professional judgment or safety procedures.
