Good to know: A piece of equipment

• Record a calibration from here: the next due date is worked out from the interval.
• A piece follows its equipment type for who calibrates it and how often. Give it its own value, with a reason, only where it really differs.
• Drag a certificate onto the page: press Analyze and it is read, matched to the piece it is about, and shown to you before anything is recorded.
• Move the piece to another location and its earlier places stay in its history.
• In MainteMakkal: Meters shows its running hours (or strokes, kilometres) and their latest readings. Anyone, operators too, adds a reading; a reading can’t be less than the last one. Planners add meters; a plan due by a meter adds its own.
