Defining equipment inspection aspects

Associate aspects with equipment or categories. For example, specify a category of vans or a particular van, and then associate it with the inspection aspect of measuring tire tread.

To define equipment inspection aspects:

Open the Monitored Equipment form.
Select the equipment, equipment class, or equipment category for which to enter inspection aspect information, and then click the Aspects tab.

Min. Extreme—Enter the minimum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect.
Min. Critical—Enter the lowest possible value for the aspect.
Min. Tolerance—Enter the minimum percentage of critical value for the aspect.
Min. Std. WO—Enter a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
Min. PM—Enter a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the minimum critical value is reached.
Max. Extreme—Enter the maximum extreme value beyond the operating specifications for the aspect.
Max. Critical—Enter the highest possible value for the aspect.
Max. Tolerance—Enter the maximum percentage of critical value for the aspect.
Max. Std. WO—Enter a standard work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
Max. PM—Enter a preventive maintenance work order to restore normal operating conditions when the maximum critical value is reached.
Click Submit.
