If you undertake partial or parcentage testing in a larger site, you may wish to set the sequence for testing for all your components.
This will result in those devices being highlighted on the appropriate visit within the Component Test screen.
So for example if you have a site where you service 25% of the items on each of four visits, then you can allocate each component to one of service cycle - 1,2,3,4 or ALL.
For those items allocated to Service Cycle 1 then on visit 1 of 4 , the items will be highlighted to the engineer , on the second visit those in cycle 2 highlighted and so on.
This allows a level of traceability that will satisfy all UKAS standards ensuring your responsibilities have been undertaken in a way which is beyond any reproach in the event of any subsequent system failure.
In order to do this.
A : Firstly Add your items to The Components Tab within the Installations Module
B: Then set your components to a Test Sequence.
- Highlight the Components to set by selecting the row headers.
- Right mouse click and select Set Test Sequence
- At the drop down box select the test sequence that you wish these components to be highlighted in.
The number of test sequences displayed which can be selected will be deteremined by the contract in operation. So if a two service cycle exists for thei installation you would have 1, 2 and All and so on.
C: How the engineer marks these items as tested upon completion.
- Load the Engineer Web Application
- Complete the appointment as normal including test questions.
- Click on the Components Test button
- Complete the test results for all the components highlighted as due testing on this visit.
To note that the Grid selected should be pass / fail style Grid2 normally. Grid1 style allows circuit readings to be entred by zone and is more applicable to Intruder. This can be chanaged by the engineer through the drop down highlighted below in the Red box.
