In a tie-in project control of remotely operated valves can be handed over from operation to project and they will then be operated manually. These valves can be tracked by ValveTrack, but they follow a separate process.
These valves are marked with a "wifi" symbol:
A symbol with strike through indicates that the valve is currently manually operated
Adding a new valve
When adding a remotely capable valve you simply set the property to yes, tooltip will give you some more detail.
This also works with Import valves using the Excel template.
Switch of control from remote to manual using Logs
Switch of control is part of the valve operation and it is thus done in either the Logs section or through a plan in Planner. In either case change of control is documented through a log entry.
1. Navigate to the Logs section of a remotely operated valve
Here you can click on the Switch of control
2. Add the Switch of control
Here you can only select the "Remote -> Manual" option since this valve is already remotely operated
3. Add the final position
Then you also need to state the final position
4. Valve is now in manual mode
And all the normal options are available
Switch of control from remote to manual using Planner
Switch of control can also be part of a planned operation. It follows the same pattern as described in the Planner section. Highlights are:
1. Create a plan and add a valve
Add a remote capable valve and assign a planned operation
In this case a switch of control operation.
2. Then execute the plan
NOTE: since the selected valve is currently remotely operated you can only select Remote -> Manual:
