Miscellaneous Settings

Setting Description
Enable Background Adjustment to Gross PPM Enable this setting if you want to subtract the current Background PPM from the Gross PPM Reading before deciding whether a component is leaking.

If you want to make this Background adjustment, then use the next feature to specify what sort of components you want to do the adjustment on.
Adjust Background for… You must select between applying the Background Adjustment to ALL COMPONENTS or to apply the adjustment ONLY to components marked as NDE or CVS (this means that each component is marked as YES in the NDE or CVS property field).
Enable Simple Maintenance For prompting techs to perform Simple Maintenance when finding a leak. You may also want to go to Field Events and enable the Simple Maintenance Safety Checklist.
Require ReTest with Attempt This will prompt a ReTest after entering an Attempt in Chateau Mobile. This is designed to ensure a ReTest is performed, however, the tech still has the option to cancel the ReTest without performing, if necessary.
Enable Technician Sign Off

A feature for having techs sign off each day Method 21 is fully complied with before syncing up any inspection results.

 

Automatically close leaks with a first repair attempt and passing inspection Select this if you want the leak to close automatically whenever a first repair attempt and a passing inspection were performed after the latest failing inspection.
M21 FailSafe Selected to stop the tech before attempting to monitor a component with a phx that has not been calibrated.

Note: This feature will not prevent the use of a phx that was calibrated and failed the calibration confirmation. We are working on that.
Sort Tours by LUnit then Tag (not Route Sequence) Available for you to ignore the Route Sequence and sort the Tours by Tag number. This will be done on Tours checked out to Chateau Mobile as long as this option is enabled.
Chateau Mobile Non-Tour Tags Database Generation Policy The option to select whether you want the tags in the Area / LUnit which are NOT in the tour to be downloaded into Chateau Mobile so the tech can research components found outside their tour.

By downloading the (longer) list of tags in the LUnit, Chateau Mobile will also be able to help prevent the technician from adding duplicate tags. The downside is this can result in a lot of data in the handheld if your LUnits are large, or if the technician has tours from many LUnits in his handheld. So check out times will be slower and Chateau Mobile may also run slower if it’s more than several thousand non-tour components.

You can choose by component type which Non-Tour tags will be sent to Chateau Mobile, if this feature is enabled under Settings / Miscellaneous. This setting will default to exclude connectors. This will reduce the number of components being sent to Chateau Mobile, which will reduce check out times
Pre-Generate Non Tour Components Enables the instant transfer of non-tour tags to a handheld. Otherwise, Chateau will generate this list each night for the following day.

Pre-generation of non tour components is a method to decrease check out times. Every night Chateau will save the component properties into a streamlined data format so the check out times are faster. The downside is if someone edits one of those components the morning before the technician checks out, the change will not be sent to Chateau Mobile because the component properties were already pre-generated for those non-tour components.

This is a very rare event, but we want to be transparent about the process and possible downside.
