Registering equipment#

When you install a new device at a customer site (heat pump, ceiling heater, AC unit, lighting sensor, …), you should register it in the customer’s equipment list. This pays off in:

  • Warranty handling — when a fault comes up in 2 years, any installer can see which device, from which supplier, when installed.
  • Service history — for each device, all tasks involving it are shown.
  • Contract customers — the office reports the equipment in the registry.

Registering from a product line#

The easiest path: you’ve already added a product line to the task (e.g. a Nibe F-series heat pump). From there:

  1. Task’s Products tab.
  2. Tap the product line → detail modal opens.
  3. In the modal: “Register as equipment” button.
  4. Sub-modal:
    • Install date — defaults to today
    • Serial number — required
    • Warranty expires — defaulted from the product category (office defines wholesaler warranty terms in the background)
    • Location note — optional (“Technical room”, “Sauna”, “Front yard”)
  5. Save → the equipment appears in the customer’s equipment list and the task’s Equipment tab.
**Any product line can be registered as equipment** — not only those pre-flagged. Older versions had an `is_equipment` flag that restricted this, but now the installer can decide on site (e.g. "this heating cable is more important than expected, let's register it").

Registering directly to a customer (no product line)#

If on a service visit you find a previously installed device that’s not in the registry:

  1. Open the task.
  2. Equipment tab → "+ Add equipment" button.
  3. Find or create a new product (if it’s not in the LVISnet catalogue, ask the office — worth adding).
  4. Fill in serial number, install date, location.
  5. Save.

Existing registered equipment#

The task’s Equipment tab shows all of the customer’s devices. Tap one to see:

  • Serial number, model, manufacturer
  • Install date + installer name
  • Warranty status — green (valid) / grey (expired)
  • Service history — all tasks where this device was involved

Warranty matters#

When doing a service visit to a warranty-valid device:

  • Tick the “Warranty visit” flag on the task.
  • The office bills the warranty vendor (heat pump manufacturer, wholesaler) rather than the end customer.

Troubleshooting#

Can’t find a device I installed a week ago
Check you were on the right customer — equipment goes to the customer whose task it was registered in. If the customer changed during installation, ask the office — they can move it.
Can’t find the serial number on the device
Common locations: rear panel, underside, right side, inside (hatch open). If nowhere, take a photo of the type plate and note the model instead of the serial. The office can fill in later.
Same device appears twice in the list
Possible duplicate — serial number is the unifying field but sometimes a second entry happens before the serial is known. Ask the office to clean up.
