Add Meters to Service

This procedure should be used to link additional scheduling meters to service definitions. These additional meters allow the service definition to be scheduled according to more than one unit of measure, for example running hours and calendar time. Up to four meters can be linked to a service definition.

This results in additional meters linked to service definitions.

Before You Start

Before adding meters to service definitions, the following prerequisites must be met:

The service definition must be defined in 'Service. Open' (MOS300).
The meter must be defined in 'Meter. Open' (MMS051).
The meter must exist against the equipment in Items. Open panel J (MMS001/J).

Follow These Steps

Follow the steps below to link additional scheduling meters to service definitions.

In 'Service. Open' (MOS300), highlight the service definition.
Specify option 18, Maintenance Limits. This option can also be called from 'Maintenance Limits. Open' (MOS311).
Select sorting order 1.
Select panel E and enter the new meter you want to link. Note: this meter must already exist. Press New.
Enter the Repeat Interval meter if required. Press Enter to save.
The same process can be used to automatically change the repeat interval at a certain value or point in time. In this case, along with the meter a version and threshold is also entered. The threshold is the point at which the new repeat interval is to be activated, ie after 52 weeks carry out the inspection at 8 weekly cycles.
