Description
This unit covers maintaining/servicing analog/digital electronic equipment.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Undertake maintenance checks and routine tests
- 1.1. Electronic equipment, functions are determined and understood by reference to circuit diagrams, equipment manuals and/or consultation with equipment operator where appropriate.
- 1.2. Equipment built-in test functions are run and results are recorded to standard operating procedures where appropriate.
- 1.3. Built-in faults/status display is noted and recorded to standard operating procedures.
- 1.4. Equipment/sub-assemblies, components, connections, terminations etc. are checked visually and with correct and appropriate test equipment and techniques.
- 1.5. Faulty components are removed and replaced where appropriate.
- 1.6. All results are checked for compliance with manufacturers' requirements or specification, and results are recorded to standard operating procedures.
2. Maintain and/or service electronic equipment
- 2.1. Where appropriate, sub-assemblies are isolated according to standard operating procedures.
- 2.2. Electronic equipment/sub-assemblies are adjusted to specifications, manufacturers' requirements and/or standard operating procedures using correct and appropriate techniques, tools and test equipment.
3. Return electronic equipment to service
- 3.1. Equipment/sub-assemblies are returned into service utilising correct and appropriate techniques and procedures.
- 3.2. Equipment/sub-assemblies are checked for operational compliance to specifications and/or manufacturers' requirements, and documentation requirements are carried out to standard operating procedures.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Electronic equipment
Amplifiers, analogue/digital hardware, communication, consumer audio/video, electronic appliances, scanning systems, security/fire systems, power supplies and test equipment etc.
Components
Discrete component, circuit boards, connectors, plug-in items, power supplies and the like
Test equipment
Includes the use of voltmeters, ammeters, cathode ray oscilloscopes, frequency counters, continuity testers etc.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to maintain/service analog/digital electronic equipment. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with maintaining/servicing analog/digital electronic equipment, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
