|
Depth |
Enter the depth of the Extractor / Trap. This value must be numerical and decimals are okay. |
|
Depth Units |
Units for Measuring TRAP DEPTH. This is a User configurable setting in Event Administration, under the Configurations tab, the Global Configurations, the Trap Inspection Results section, “Default Grease / Water / Solids units”.

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.

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.
