Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform preventative maintenance on process control analysers; complete fault documentation; plan corrective action; repair, replace, overhaul, calibrate and test; re-install and recommission process control analysers and applies to the use of electrical and electronic test equipment for transmission and signal measurement.Central to the task is the interpretation of electrical and electronic circuit diagrams and the interpretation of calibration and analysis data and procedures in accordance with manufacturers' data sheets. Where soldering of components is required to advanced or military specifications, where the reliability of electrical connections is critical, or where surface mounted devices are being soldered/desoldered then unit MEM05002 Perform high reliability soldering and desoldering should also be selected. Where diagnosis and repair of electronic equipment is undertaken to component level then unit MEM18056 Diagnose and repair analog equipment and components and unit MEM18065 Diagnose and repair digital equipment and components, should also be selected as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 6
