Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to construct and test basic electronic circuits using a small number of standard electronic components. It requires the learner to plan and prepare the task, select the correct equipment, construct and test electronic circuits, and check and store the electrical test equipment.
It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation to entering the automotive service and repair or automotive manufacturing industry.
The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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. Prepare to construct basic electronic circuit |
1.1 Safety and environmental requirements are sourced and interpreted 1.2 Task instruction is interpreted and electronic circuit to be worked on is identified 1.3 Manufacturer specifications and workplace procedures for electronic circuitry are sourced and interpreted 1.4 Potential hazards and risks associated with task are identified and reported to workplace supervisor |
2. Draw circuit diagrams and identify equipment and materials to construct electronic circuit |
2.1 Electronic circuit diagrams that accurately reflect the circuit specifications are drawn according to manufacturer specifications 2.2 Electronic components are depicted correctly in circuit diagram using standard symbols 2.3 Component and material requirements are identified from electronic circuit diagram and recorded |
3. Construct electronic circuit |
3.1 Tools, equipment and electronic components are sourced and selected according to manufacturer specifications and safety requirements 3.2 Component manufacturer installation and connection information is read, interpreted and applied 3.3 Circuit is constructed using electronic components according to manufacturer specifications and safety requirements |
4. Test electronic circuit |
4.1 Circuit fault testing equipment is identified and sourced according to workplace procedures, manufacturer specifications and safety requirements 4.2 Electronic circuit is tested according to workplace procedures, manufacturer specifications and safety requirements 4.3 Faults detected are corrected and circuit is re-tested to confirm their operation 4.4 Circuit testing procedures and outcomes are recorded |
5. Complete work processes |
5.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work meets task instruction and workplace standards, and that electronic circuit is constructed ready for use or storage 5.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected and stored according to environmental requirements and workplace procedures 5.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures, or tagged and reported where necessary 5.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures |
