Modification History

Release 1: New unit

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two (2) occasions and include:

following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices

obtaining and interpreting specifications system/circuit diagrams, system operation and control data records and identifying and inspecting system components for compliance with specifications

planning and undertaking sequential installation of fluid power systems and controls in accordance with manufacturer specifications and procedures

checking and adjusting control and system operation using appropriate test equipment ensuring that the sequence of operations conforms to specifications and operational requirements

recording/reporting any modifications/alterations to the system in accordance with SOPs

fault finding fluid power systems control circuits and controllers using fault-finding techniques and appropriate test equipment and identifying and localising components not conforming to operational specifications for repair/replacement

repairing/replacing faulty items after testing for compliance to specifications using appropriate tools, equipment and techniques

reassembling control components to meet specifications

verifying correct operation of system power control circuit and commission the fluid power system controls to specifications

initiating maintenance and/or service follow-up procedures and completing maintenance and/or service reports according to SOPs.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate the required knowledge for this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

system operational and control requirements and specifications

application of common fluid power system components and controllers

basic electronic concepts, including current/voltage/power and solenoid coils

pulse width modulation (PWM) and its function/application

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must:

have vocational competency in maintaining, diagnosing and rectifying fluid power controls in mobile equipment at least to the level being assessed with relevant industry knowledge and experience

satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015 or its replacement and comply with the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, its replacement or equivalent legislation covering VET regulation in a non-referring state/territory as the case requires

Where possible assessment must occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment that reflects realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications

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.
