Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose electrical faults in recreational vehicles and report the outcomes to the customer and/or supervisor with recommendations about the next steps. Faults may require specialist or technical expertise.The unit includes diagnosing faults with electrical systems and equipment, but only those that are extra-low-voltage: not exceeding 50 V AC or 120V ripple-free DC, as defined in AS/NZS3000. The unit does not address diagnosing faults in mechanical components: propulsion, suspension, steering and braking systems.The unit applies to a person working in a recreational vehicle service and repair facility who undertakes routine tasks according to job instructions, plans/specifications and procedures and uses discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services and contingency measures. They work with a high degree of self-direction and limited supervision. They apply known solutions to routine problems and report non-routine problems according to procedures. They are responsible for their output and have limited responsibility for the output of others.No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
