Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section

1. Identify sensors, transmitters and final control elements

1.1 Workplace requirements relevant to the use of sensors, transmitters and final control elements are identified with appropriate personnel

1.2 Instructions and work plans are identified and interpreted

1.3 Specifications from data sheets, circuit diagrams and engineering drawings are determined

1.4 Sensors, transmitters and final control elements are selected and prepared, and installation is planned and documented

2. Install sensors, transmitters and final control elements

2.1 Equipment is prepared for installation

2.2 Equipment is installed

2.3 Test is set up to determine correct calibration, operation and data feed

3. Maintain and diagnose faults with sensors, transmitters and final control elements

3.1 Preventative maintenance schedules are implemented

3.2 Periodic tests to ensure continued integrity of data are undertaken

3.3 Sample data is viewed periodically for obvious irregularities and unexplained aberrations

4. Complete fault documentation and plan corrective action

4.1 Operation of sensors, transmitters and final control elements is monitored and assessed against predetermined specifications and manufacturer’s technical data

4.2 Fault conditions are identified, localised and monitored

4.3 Faults are documented and reported to appropriate personnel

5. Restore equipment and finalise housekeeping

5.1 Equipment is recovered, and checked for serviceability and calibration

5.2 Serviceable equipment is returned to store for future use

5.3 Unserviceable equipment is sent for repair or disposal according to workplace procedures

5.4 Workplace documentation and test results are completed
