Chapter 11
medCheck Module
In this chapter you will find information about checklists—what they
are, how they are used, running them in the medTester 5000C, and
reporting test record data.
Tap Your medTester’s Potential
With the medCheck option installed in memory on your medTester 5000C,
you can tap into the medTester’s capability to become a total equipment
management solution. With medCheck your medTester 5000C can automate
electrical safety and performance testing for you. Using an Equipment
Management System (EMS) or Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS), on a personal computer, you can write preventive
maintenance checklists, download them to and execute them in your
medTester 5000C, and upload the test records to your EMS or CMMS.
Combining checklists, medCheck and your CMMS lets you develop your
overall equipment management system. In your CMMS, you set up accounts
and equipment records. Each piece of equipment in your inventory receives a
unique control number or asset ID. You then associate checklists (test
procedures) with your equipment’s control number, download the checklists
to your medTester, run your checklists of tests, and finally upload test record
data back to your CMMS. Whenever you have a piece of equipment without
an assigned control number (e.g. a new piece of equipment), you can execute
it and assign a valid or “temporary” control number that can be reassigned
following upload to your CMMS.
