The situation

What has happened

Work order WO-26-3319 covers 34 end of life diaphragm meters on Route 88 in Noble Park, due for exchange next week. Each exchange means turning off the customer's supply, exchanging the meter, testing the installation for leaks and relighting appliances before you leave. Several of the properties have access notes on the route. At the same time the data logger at Merriwa Foods in Lara Industrial Park has not communicated for six days and the retailer is asking for the data. Marcus Liew wants the batch planned properly, every exchange recorded, and the logger fault raised and cleared within the three day target for a large industrial customer.

Your brief. Plan the exchange batch using the meter reading procedure and the relight rules, record the exchanges in the work order, and raise and clear the data logger fault so the retailer receives its data on time.

What to look for

Evidence guide

Check that each recorded exchange holds both meter numbers, a closing read, a leak test result and a relight confirmation, that the student knows a meter left off must be tagged and recorded, and that the logger fault sequence moves from communications to power to the logger itself. The retailer note must state the gap period clearly.

The student's evidence summary lists every record they created or changed in the systems named above, their notes and the tasks they ticked. Verify it against the deliverables and your own assessment tool.
