RTA Web - Alternate Meter Maintenance
An alternate meter may be another meter such as an engine or component hour meter OR it may represent items transported by this vehicle such as passengers, cases, boxes, tons, yards, and pallets. A total of 40 alternate meter types can be defined in the RTA system; up to four alternate meters can be defined per asset.
Alternate meters can be used to help determine when PM services are needed.
Prior to setting alternate meters at the asset level, the types of alternate meters that can be used in the software must be configured. This document will walk you through the process of defining the various alternate meters that can be used.
