Compliance Limits |
Depth
of solids and grease and a formula relating them to the total volume of the
Extractor can be configured for calculating Violations, and then Set as
Default limits for all newly created extractors. The
limits that can be set are: Depth of Grease, Depth of Solids, Amount of
Grease (percent grease), and a Custom or Calculated Amount of Grease. A
Compliance limit must be checked as “In Effect” for it to be used in determining
non-compliance. A trap can have a limit but if it is not checked, than it
will not be used in tracking compliance. A user can choose which, if any, of
the 4 limits are being used for compliance in the Extractors Detail. Compliance
Limits will be assigned to a new Extractor if “Default” units had previously
been created by using the Set As Default button in the Extractors Detail. |

Depth of Grease cannot exceed __ inches. |
The
limit in inches of Grease for this Extractor. |
|

The
user may also create a custom formula for calculating the Grease Amount
Limit. Access the Extractor Limit Formula

If neither of the 2 pre-built formulas meets your Authority’s exact needs, use the Extractor Limit Formula Builder to create a Grease Amount Limit formula that does.

Configure the Grease Limit formula in the Extractor Detail screen for that Extractor for that Industry using the Extractor Limit Formula Builder. The formula is used in a Trap Inspection event to calculate compliance for the Extractor depending upon the field results observed by the Inspector.
The formula must follow the format shown. The brackets are necessary. You can use the Available Database fields and the Math Operators.
[DepOfGrease], [DepOfWater], and [DepOfSolids], are entered by the Inspector into the Inspection Event.
[TrapDepth] and [TrapSize] come from the Extractor Details information.
