Meter value resets

You use the Meters application to reset one or more values relating to a meter. If a preventive maintenance is attached to a given meter, changing the current reading affects the reading at the next preventive maintenance.

Industries that use rotating equipment rely heavily on the ability to reset meter readings without losing historical information. When a rotating asset is sent out for repair, it might be replaced – requiring meter readings to be reset. When testing an asset, readings might need to be reset upon completion of testing. Changing cumulative readings does not affect preventive maintenance generation, since these values do not drive preventive maintenance. When a meter reading is updated, the Next Meter Reading field is also updated for all the meter-based preventive maintenance that is active against the asset.
