Add Meters to Service

Use this procedure to link additional scheduling meters to service definitions. These additional meters support scheduling of the service definition based on more than one unit of measure, for example, running hours and calendar time. You can link up to four meters to a service definition.

The result is additional meters linked to service definitions.

Before You Start

Before adding meters to service definitions, you must meet these prerequisites:

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

Follow These Steps

Add or maintain a maintenance limit

Start (MOS300).
Highlight the service revision to add or maintain, and select option 18='Maintenance Limits' to show 'Service. Connect Maintenance Limits' (MOS311).
Set panel sequence E and sorting order 1.
Select a meter to link to the service revision and a threshold (optional). Select New or Change to show the E panel.

The threshold value indicates the first occurrence of the service. The interval is different once the threshold is reached.

The same process is used to automatically change the repeat interval at a certain value or point in time. In this case, a version and a threshold are also specified along with the meter. The threshold is the point at which the new repeat interval is activated, for example, after 52 weeks, the inspection is carried out at eight weekly cycles.
Specify whether inventory time affects the limits, and whether the threshold value represents the lifetime limit for the maintenance object.

Set inventory maintenance to 2 to ensure correct calculation of maintenance intervals at all times.
Specify a repeat interval to indicate the frequency of the service.
Specify operational and economical tolerances. These fields are optional.

The operational tolerance indicates how much the service is exceeded.

Economical tolerance 2 indicates how much earlier the service is performed before it becomes uneconomical.

In combination with the field 'Reset next due date', the economical tolerance 2 is also used to control how early a service is performed without resetting the next due calculation.
Select the 'Reset next due date' check box to reset the start date for the next due calculation when the service is performed earlier than the economical tolerance date. The field is used only if Adjust code=0 on the service header and service history is approved.
Specify a sampling percentage and whether simulation is performed. This information is optional and normally not used.
