UEEEC0063 Solve fundamental electronic communications system problems

Modification History

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

Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to solve fundamental electronic communications system problems. It includes ascertaining correct operation of communications system and solving fundamental system problems as met in engineering support work functions. It also includes working safely, applying problem-solving techniques, using a range of measuring devices, and providing solutions derived from measurements to predictable problems in an electronic communications system. Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
