Course Description

This unit covers fault finding and repairing analogue applications in electronic control systems. The unit encompasses safe working practices, interpreting diagrams and technical data, applying knowledge of analogue circuits and components to logical fault finding processes, implementing fault rectification, safety and functional testing and reporting work activities and outcomes.
Note.
Examples of analogue applications are power and differential amplifiers, integrators, comparators function generators precision rectifiers, active filters and the like.
 


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEI124A Fault find and repair analogue circuits and components in electronic control systems

Element:

1. Prepare to fault find and repair.

Performance Criteria:

1.1

OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood. 

1.2

Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.

1.3

Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel.

1.4

The extent of faults is determined from reports and other documentation and fro discussion with appropriate personnel

1.5

Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved on the work site

1.6

Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to diagnose faults are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked for correct operation and safety.

Element:

2. Fault find and repair.

Performance Criteria:

2.1

OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.

2.2

The need to test or measure live is determined in strict accordance with OHS requirements and when necessary conducted within established safety procedures

2.3

Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated where necessary in strict accordance OHS requirements and procedures

2.4

Logical diagnostic methods are applied to diagnose electronic control system apparatus faults employing measurements and estimations of system operating parameters referenced to system operational requirements.

2.5

Suspected fault scenarios are tested as being the cause(s) of system fault.

2.6

Cause of the fault is identified and appropriately competent persons are engaged to rectify the fault where it is outside the scope of the analogue circuits and components.

2.7

Faults in the electronic components of the system are rectified to raise apparatus and system to its operational standard.

2.8

System is tested to verify that the system operates as intended and to specified requirements
