Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Instrumentation systemsinclude the following:

those made up of more than one interdependent component controlling and processing multiple inputs and/or outputs

Tasks are undertaken include one (1) or more of the following:

workshop/site

laboratory environments

Correct operational function determination includes the operational function of one (1) or more of the following:

systems

equipment

components

associated equipment

Systems, components, equipment and associated items include one (1) or more of the following:

electrical

electronic

mechanical

fluid power

Equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

process machines

temperature control systems

sterilisation units

water cooling/filtration systems

equipment utilising mechanical, pneumatic/electro-pneumatic or electronic (analog/digital) principles

associated instruments measuring variables including level, pressure light, flow, current, resistance, voltage, density and temperature

Components include one (1) or more of the following:

sensors

transmitters

converters

indicators

analysers

controllers

transducers

power supplies

removable circuit boards

sensor units associated with determining/controlling density, level, flow, temperature and composition of a range of materials

Test equipmentincludes one (1) or more of the following:

system calibrators

manometers

dead weight testers

wheatstone bridge

potentiometers

frequency/signal generators

logic probes

other associated equipment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
