Defining equipment inspection conditions

Specify conditions to meet before inspecting a piece of equipment. For example, conditions for a boiler inspection might include blocking all inlet and outlet valves, cutting the fires from the burners approximately 8 hours prior to the inspection, and cooling the inside of the boiler for 24 hours.

To define equipment inspection conditions:

  1. Open the Monitored Equipment form.
  2. Select the equipment, profile, or equipment category for which to define equipment inspection conditions, and then click the Point Conditions tab.
  3. Click Add Point Condition. The system automatically populates Origin.
  4. Point—Enter the point with which to associate the inspection condition and Point Type. The system automatically populates the point description.
  5. Condition—Enter the inspection condition. The system automatically populates the condition description.
  6. Aspect—Enter the aspect with which to associate the inspection condition as necessary.
    Note: Do not enter an Aspect when the Condition applies to the Point, regardless of what aspect is being measured.
  7. Click Submit.
    Note: You cannot remove point conditions records that are indirectly associated with the monitored data object.

    You cannot create a new point condition with the same combination of Point, Point Type, and Aspect as an existing point condition.
