STATUS
The TeNOTE INSPECTION application enables to monitor the
inspection status of the product.
The preconditions of inspection status monitoring are a valid
TeNOTE ACCOUNT of the owner, registration of the product in
that account, and at least one performed rope inspection by means
of the TeNOTE Inspection.
The TeNOTE system evaluates the period of time and informs the user
(by an e-mail) about the approaching end of validity of the last
inspection. The system sends this message also to the inspection
engineer who performed the last inspection of the product. The message
is sent 30 days before the end of validity of the last inspection.
The TeNOTE Code is given on the rope tag only.
 
In case of loss/destruction of the rope tag with the TeNOTE Code it is
not possible to register the rope.
 
However, if the rope has been already registered and the rope owner
loses the TeNOTE Code, the Code may be regained by means of a
mobile application question as follows:
 connect your phone to the Internet
 activate the TeNOTE application
 read data from the rope chip
 press the selection key to get access to the Show TeNOTE Code
function
 after pressing you will see the valid TeNOTE Code of the rope on
the phone display
 
This service is useful when the rope owner changes or the rope is
registered to another TeNOTE account.
 
CAUTION: The TeNOTE Code can be ascertained only if the rope has
been registered to a TeNOTE account and the question is sent from a
phone connected to that account.
You may also use a QR Code for connection to the
application.
