Application

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to undertake precision measurements across a range of frequencies on the full range of electrical/electronic equipment including a.c., d.c., analogue, digital and microwave equipment.

Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

What You'll Learn

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

identifying and interpreting measurement requirements from specifications, including sketches and job instructions, schematics, diagrams and technical manuals

selecting appropriate measuring equipment to achieve the required outcome

checking the accuracy of the selected measuring equipment where appropriate

setting up measuring equipment where appropriate

obtaining measurements and making appropriate connections in a safe and effective manner, interpreting results and recording measurements, as required

storing and maintaining measuring equipment, including undertaking routine care according to manufacturer’s specifications or SOPs.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

specifications of the circuitry and/or components to be tested

specifications of precision electrical/electronic measuring devices

application of a range of precision electrical/electronic measuring devices

procedures/techniques for obtaining and setting a range of electrical/electronic measurements

units of measurement used in conjunction with precision electrical/electronic measurement

specifications of the equipment to be set

tools and equipment to be used in setting precision electrical/electronic measuring devices

adjustments and procedures that can be made to a range of precision electrical/electronic measuring devices

procedures for storing precision electrical/electronic measuring devices.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in performing precision electrical/electronic measurement at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
