Meter Readings

Last updated 10 months ago

Meter readings allow you to track the reading of one or more meters in an asset. An example of a meter is the odometer, which Loopit sets as the default primary meter.

Types of meter reads

There are three primary ways a meter reading can be recorded against an asset;

  1. Automatic reading from a telematic connection

  2. Manual reading entered by an operator

  3. Inspections

Automatic reading from a telematic connection

When a device is connected and attached to the asset within Loopit we will take automatic readings from the device and enter a meter reading automatically. Learn more about .

Manual reading entered by an operator

To record a meter reading navigate to the asset. From the asset page click the "+" icon quick action menu and select "Meter Reading".

A manual meter reading cannot be a lower value than the last meter reading entry.

Configuring unit of measure for the primary meter

As the primary meter is the odometer you can configure the unit of measure to be either miles (mi) or kilometers (km).

Changing the unit of measure

Once a unit of measure has been set any readings will be recorded as if they were that unit of measure. If you proceed to update the unit of measure, for example from miles to kilometers, Loopit will not convert the previous readings.
