Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Use electro-measuring devices to measure variables
   • Appropriate device or equipment and setting is selected to obtain required measurement.
   • Appropriate connections are made to obtain required measurement according to standard operating procedure.
   • Readings are obtained and interpreted correctly and conversion is made where necessary into the required units of measurement.
2. Maintain electro devices
   • Routine care and storage of devices is undertaken to manufacturer's specifications or standard operating procedures.

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in setting and using electromeasuring devices obtaining and interpreting specified electrical measurements selecting appropriate measuring devices performing arithmetic operations required to convert measurements into appropriate units of measurement maintaining and storing electromeasuring devices reading and interpreting information on standard operating procedures

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of terminology and concepts relating to electricalelectronic measurement the selection of different measuring devices for particular applications within the scope of this unit specifications of selected electromeasuring devices the application of the settings on each electromeasuring device the procedures for obtaining electricalelectronic measurements procedures for connecting electromeasuring devices to circuitry the correct scale for each setting on the electromeasuring device the scale factor to be applied to readings taken from the electromeasuring device the units applying to electrical and electronic measurements maintenance and storage requirements for a range of electromeasuring devices that devices can impact on the circuit condition relevant StateTerritory or Commonwealth legislative and regulatory requirements industry standards NOHSC guidelines and code of practice hazards and control measures associated with electricalelectronic measurement safe work practices and procedures use and application of personal protective equipment

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform electricalelectronic measurement
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with electricalelectronic measurement or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Appropriate device or equipment	Analogue/digital multi meters, clip-on meter, oscilloscopes, potentiometers determined according to the type of measurement being taken
Routine care	Zero and linear adjustments, inspection, check for serviceability and safe operation
