UV Disinfection Bank Lamp Hours

The UV disinfection bank check records lamp hours and intensity on the display that is already installed. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not change a dose or an intensity setpoint. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

The Procedure

The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

  1. Record lamp hours and intensity on the installed display
  2. Check sleeve condition at the allowed access. Bank offline only if operations released it
  3. Confirm the wiper, if fitted, is not seized
  4. Do not change a dose or an intensity setpoint here
  5. A low-intensity alarm is a finding for the site's UV procedure

Why This PM Exists

The UV disinfection bank check records lamp hours and intensity on the display that is already installed. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not change a dose or an intensity setpoint. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

What Skipping It Looks Like

Intensity sags, the setpoint drops with it, and the lamp hours never get written down. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not change a dose or an intensity setpoint.

Setting the interval

Monthly. A bank comes offline only when operations has released it. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
