in the PM list of figure 3.14 and in PM reports.
@
Value Unit - Applies to all time related PM
types and to total feed length. For time related
items, select Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or
Years. For total feed length, select feet or

This value will be in the units selected in the
“Value Unit” box.

button and the maintenance item will be added.
3.7.2 Editing a Preventive Maintenance Item
To edit a PM item, select “Preventive Maint”
from the “Configure” menu as seen in figure 3.1. A
sub-menu with “By Machine” and “By Die” will
appear. Select the desired sub-menu and a dialog
similar to figure 3.13 should appear. This dialog
shows a list of all machines or dies depending on the
menu selection. Select the machine or die for which
a PM item is to be configured and hit the “Select”
button. A dialog similar to figure 3.14 should
appear. Select a PM item to edit and hit the
“Change PM Item” button. The dialog of figure
3.15 should appear. The limit and value units are
the only information that can be changed in this
dialog. If a PM item needs to be renamed, it must
be deleted and re-added with the new name (this is
to keep the database consistent when tracking PM
history).
