Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Repairing faults in television receivers must include at least the following:

• two predictable faults in cathode ray tube (CRT) television receivers

This unit replaces and is equivalent to UEENEEH119A Repair predictable faults in television receivers.

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

• applying methodical fault-finding techniques
• applying relevant risk identification, assessment, reporting and control requirements
• applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures
• applying sustainable energy principles and practices
• coordinating work with relevant person/s
• dealing effectively with unplanned events
• determining live testing/measurement requirements
• determining scope of repair work
• efficiently finding faults
• identifying and accessing materials, tools, apparatus and testing devices
• isolating circuits/machines/systems
• providing justification for the repairs
• replacing components without damage.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

• relevant industry standards, codes and regulations
• relevant manufacturer specifications
• relevant safe work method statements (SWMS)/job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes
• relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

• television receiver repair basics
• television scanning and deflection.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in suitable simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry
• resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to carrying out repairs of predictable faults in television receivers
• applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
