10) This relates to the competency standard unit as a whole providing the range of contexts and conditions to which the Performance Criteria apply. It allows for different work environments and situations that will affect performance. Inspection should be planned with the appropriate parties to determine access, conditions and work requirements. Equipment may refer to PLC’s, I/O modules, VDU’s, DCS equipment, communication devices, alarms, stabilised power units and uninterrupted power supply units. Materials may refer to insulation tapes, heat shrink, sleeving, spiral binding, cable ties, solder, sealants, lugs, connectors, terminal blocks, cable markers and identification labels. Components may include fuses/circuit breakers, timers, contactors, contacts, coils, relays, resistors, inductors, capacitors, bridge rectifiers, diodes, heat sinks, solenoids, overloads, plug in printed circuit boards, switches, plugs, cable and thermistors. Test and measurement instruments may include laptop computer, control system interface devices, multimeters, tong testers, insulation resistance/continuity tester, data loggers, overload injection tester, cathode ray oscilloscope, variac, hand held programmer, frequency generator, voltmeters and ammeters. Fault finding and diagnostic techniques may include linear approach, half split rule, sensory detection and insulation/continuity tests. Tests and operational checks may include correct air circulation, drainage, vibration, correct temperature, noise, pressure checks and leak detection. Work may be performed with equipment on line. Work completion details may include plant and maintenance records, job cards, check sheets and on device labelling updates. Work site environment may be affected by nearby plant or processes, e.g. heat, noise, dust, oil, water and chemical. Isolations can refer to electrical/mechanical or other associated processes. Generic terms are used throughout this Training Package for vocational standard shall be regarded as part of the Range Statement in which competency is demonstrated. The definition of these and other terms are given in Section 2.1 Preliminary Information and Glossaries. |
