Survey to plan

Site visit

Record what the site shows once, then carry the supply, headroom and shade observations into the checks that use them.

Choosing this as the current job saves its 5 pages on this device for use without a signal. While it is your current job, the status beside the button says whether they are saved now. App updates keep them saved until you clear the job.

Before you start

Have ready

  • • Main switch and meter labels as read on site
  • • Measured per-phase demand, if you took it
  • • Roof faces, obstructions and cable routes

Leave with

  • • Supply arrangement and the visible clue it rests on
  • • Main switch rating and spare ways as labelled
  • • Obstructions, shade window and route lengths

Stop condition: Record what is visible, labelled or measured. Do not infer a supply arrangement, rating or per-phase demand the site does not show; the survey record itself needs no equipment cover opened.
