01What it is
Fire safety devices is the register of devices installed in objects. Each one has a kind, an inventory code, a location in the object, a manufacturer, a model, a serial number, a year of manufacture and an installation date. The kind cannot change after creation, because the schedule and parameters come from it.
A new device gets its activity schedule from the template of its kind. Each activity has its own interval, and the device is due at the earliest of them. An activity that has never been done is not scheduled: that is not an overdue item, just a missing point of reference.
Activities are not entered on the device card. They are entered in the object inspection report, and the device state follows from the report result.
- ACTIVITY DUE DATES
- Each activity with its own interval and due date.
- CODE LABEL
- A scan opens the card, history and due date.
- HISTORY FROM REPORTS
- Every entry is evidence of work done.
02What it is for
No due date slips
Tiles and filters show devices that are overdue and due in 30 days.
The card from the label
The technician scans the code on site and sees the last report and due date straight away.
Faults under control
Devices with a fault have their own tile and filter.
Evidence for the building manager
A history of report lines, each linked to its report.
03Main options
The device card has tabs: Overview, Schedule, History, Issues and Photos. The four used most often are described below.
Device details and code label
What you need to know before going to the site.
- Object, location, manufacturer, model and serial number
- Parameters of the device kind
- Code label to print and stick on
Activities with an interval and due date
Each activity has its own interval; the device is due at the earliest one.
- Activity, interval in months, last done and due date
- Add activity with an interval
- Last done outside the register, e.g. an overhaul before you took over
Report lines with this device
Entries appear once an object inspection report is closed.
- Activity date and report number
- Result: in order, fault or to be replaced
- Findings, with a link to the report
Faults and remarks from the field
Issues linked to this device, with a due date.
- Open issues of the device
- A due date on every issue
04Tasks step by step
- STEP 1Open Modules › Fire protection › Fire safety devices and choose Add device (or choose Add a device on the object card).
- STEP 2Choose the object and kind, enter the name, the inventory code and the location in the object, e.g. ground floor, corridor by the entrance.
- STEP 3Save. The activity schedule comes from the kind template.
- STEP 1On the device list choose Scan a code.
- STEP 2Turn on the camera and scan the label, or type the code printed under it.
- STEP 3The device card opens. The Overdue right now list shows what to take care of on site.
- STEP 1Open the device card and the Schedule tab.
- STEP 2In the activity enter the last date done outside the register. It counts when it is later than the reports.
- STEP 1On the device list, in the due date filter, choose Overdue or Within 30 days.
- STEP 2Narrow it down to an object or kind, then prepare an object inspection report.
