Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to locate, replace/repair faulty components in microprocessor-based equipment.It applies to situations in which the individual has sufficient information and access to microprocessor components to diagnose the functioning of elements within the microprocessor and requires an understanding of machine and assembly language and address and bus systems.Where diagnosis of analog components is required unit MEM18056 Diagnose and repair analog equipment and components should also be selected.Where routine fault finding within microprocessor systems is required unit MEM18057 Maintain/service analog/digital electronic equipment should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 6
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

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

digital hardware

sub-assemblies of systems

discrete equipment used in computer, communication, consumer audio/video, electronic appliances, scanning systems, security/fire systems, power supplies and test equipment

Fault-finding techniques include one (1) or more of the following:

signal injection

substitution

monitoring

measurement

heating/cooling

sound

visual

touch

smell

use of inbuilt software and hardware diagnostics

Test equipment includes one (1) or more of the following:

continuity testers

ammeters

voltmeters

cathode ray oscilloscopes

frequency counters

signal generators

digital probes

pulse generators

computer and computer software

data analysers

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

discrete component assemblies

individual components, including:

resistors

switching devices

capacitors

transformers

solenoids

tubes

semi-conductors

transistors

ICs

digital timers

gate arrays

transmitters

converters

microprocessors

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.
