INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-1
Pre-testing and Testing Electronic Components/Products
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to apply the
proper pre-testing and testing procedures in handling Electronic
Components/Products.
Pre-testing Electronic Products

It can be challenging to advertise an electric device. A great idea, an excellent
engineer (or team), and extensive planning are necessary. Pre-testing is, of course, a
component of this planning. The reasons for this are clear; even if your product just
contains a 5mA current, an accident could still shock the consumer and could even
induce severe involuntary reactions. Selling a heavy-duty item is a little more evident in
that case. Extreme discomfort, respiratory arrest, and even death can result with
shocks of 50 mA, while shocks of more than 1000 mA can stop the heart's rhythmic
beating and increase the likelihood of death.
Safety Testing
Electrical devices must undergo safety testing at the moment of manufacture,
long before the consumer has access to it. Electrical product manufacturers have a
responsibility to make sure that the user won't experience any voltage or current shock
hazards.
Common Methods of Pre-testing

 AC and DC Hipot test
 Leakage current test (earth, enclosure and patient)
 Insulation resistance tests
 Ground bond tests
AC and Hipot test

- When working on electrical equipment, safety is of the utmost
importance, so testing is necessary to make sure that systems are
operating as intended and have not been harmed. Insulation quality on
electrical equipment is typically assessed using AC and DC hipot testing,
which can reveal whether systems are running smoothly or are prone to
power outages and shut downs.
- Using specialized testers that measure leakage currents with high
voltage, AC hipot tests are carried out. Leakage readings are useful for
figuring out the direction of the current flow since cables function as
capacitors. Contrarily, DC hipot testing uses a high voltage current to

Group 6 Revision #
assess the resistance of the cable insulation. This reading shows that the
insulation is weak and defective if there is an increase in the current. DC
hipot tests are not always used by engineers and technicians because
they sometimes result in damage to older cables. Therefore, it is advised
to use new cables rather than old ones when performing DC hipot
testing.
Leakage Current Test
1. Direct Test
- A meter made specifically for determining leakage currents is employed, and
direct measurement offers a high degree of precision. By connecting the meter
in series with the grounding connection of the target device, the current flowing
in the ground conductor is measured.
- The most common tool used to measure leakage current is the leakage current
clamp meter. They function similarly to clamp meters, which are used to
measure load currents, although they produce noticeably superior results
when calculating currents of less than 5 mA. Clamp meters typically wouldn't
detect such minute currents. The value of the current reading is determined by
the strength of the alternating electromagnetic field present around the
conductor after the clamp meter's jaws have been placed around a conducting
rod or wire. The magnetic field around conductors such as a wire armor cable,
a single core cable, a water pipe, etc. will be identified by the clamp meter. the
three live conductors in a three-phase circuit, or the paired neutral and phase
conductors in a single-phase circuit.
Insulation Resistance Test

- The insulation resistance test is an electrical test that measures insulation
resistance in Ohms using a certain kind and level of voltage (500V d.c. for low
voltage installations, i.e.: 230V).
- The insulation between two conductive elements is evaluated based on the
observed resistance. The ideal result would be infinite resistance, but as no
insulator is flawless, the higher the reading, the better.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
Sequence in Doing Insulation Resistance Test
- To perform the tests needed, you will need an Insulation Resistance Tester or
a multifunctional tester such as the Megger 1553.
1. Choose the necessary circuit, then remove the live conductors from the
distribution board for that circuit (the earth conductor can stay)
2. The Insulation Tester's test leads should be connected, one to the Line conductor
and the other to the Neutral conductor. Press and hold the TEST button while
setting the tester to the necessary voltage. The tester will then display a value in
Ohms or, if it is out of range, something like this: >299 MΩ.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
3. Use one of the test leads on the Line conductor and the other on the Earth
conductor to run the test once more.
4. Put one of the test leads on the Neutral conductor and the other on the Earth
conductor to run the test once more.
5. That's all there is to it; compare all test results to the BS7671 minimum permitted
value (1MΩ for a 230V a.c. circuit). Further research is required if any of the
figures are lower.

Group 6 Revision #
Ground Bond Tests
- Only electrical equipment with a protection Class I can be subjected to the
ground bond test. The protective conductor resistance is being tested here to
make sure it doesn't go above a limit value set forth in the standards. The
purpose of this test is to find out whether any leakage currents that may exist
in the DUT are correctly discharged to the ground. A high contact voltage may
be present for the user on the device's metallic components if the connection
is improper; in this case, the contact current would pass through the user and
to the ground.
- The fact that the insulation inside a device may degrade while it is in use is
another factor in the significance of the ground bond test. This procedure can
take a long time and result in a short circuit between the device's casing and
live wires. The housing gets electrified through this short circuit, and in the
worst-case scenario, even under mains voltage. In this scenario, the ground
bond conductor protects the user by creating a short circuit against earth. The
resulting short circuit is safely discharged to earth by a working ground bond
system.

Testing Electronic Product
Since electronics are so important to modern society—from information

processing, telecommunication, and signal processing, to the creation and dissemination
of the exact gadget you're reading this article on—we all own some kind of electronic
equipment.
Electronics and the parts that make them up have a significant impact on our
lives, so when they are made and put on the market, they must pass rigorous tests for
functional, legal, and safety reasons. The life cycle of an electronic product can also
exhibit this since they can gradually deteriorate over time, resulting in failures, poor
performance, and safety concerns.
How Do I Begin Testing Electronics?
When it comes to electronic devices and equipment, there are many different testing
tools available, all of which are made to assure the best performance and safety in every
setting, from residential homes to commercial warehouses.
This manual will not only explain the necessity of doing electronics testing but will also
assist you in gaining expertise in the following areas:
⚫ Phases of electronics testing

⚫ Equipment needed for electronics testing
⚫ Different types of electronic tests
⚫ Strategies for testing electronics
What is the purpose of electronic testing equipment?
The following list includes the most typical uses for electrical testing apparatus:
⚫ During the research and development (R&D) stage, the circuit's performance is
examined, as are any potential flaws.
⚫ During production testing, flaws at the component level, flawed circuits,
overloaded connections, and high resistances are found.
⚫ Evaluating the electrical device's overall performance and comparing it to the
design requirements
⚫ Verification of fundamental electronic properties such capacitance, conductance,
resistance, voltage, and current. This might be useful for both the device's initial
design and ongoing maintenance (if a measurement instrument).
Before distribution and use, the testing of electronics is divided into stages. This is done
to identify and fix any potential issues, allowing the product to function at its best.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
The proper electronics testing procedures must be carried out at each stage of the
product life cycle if you design or produce any type of electronic equipment, including:
⚫ R&D testing of a proof of concept

⚫ Design - testing a finalized design against specification
⚫ Manufacturing or production test of each unit produced or samples thereof
⚫ Installation and commissioning testing for specialized equipment
⚫ Periodic calibration - if measurement instrumentation
⚫ Troubleshooting - when equipment fails
⚫ Periodic safety testing of hardware
Certification Testing
The DUT (Device Under Test) will be usable after the corresponding phases have been
successfully finished. However, it is also vital to highlight that electronic devices must
continue to be maintained per manufacturer specifications, per regulation, and in
conformity with regulatory norms.
Equipment Needed for Electronics Testing
Now that you understand why and when it is necessary to test electronic equipment, it is
crucial to understand how to do so as well as the different types of testing tools available.
The key testing tools needed at various product life cycle stages, from small-scale
component testing to large-scale production testing, will be covered in this guide.
Components Testing
In order to ensure that the electronic device is constructed as safely as possible

before being integrated in a product, testing electrical components is unquestionably
necessary. Manufacturers cannot thoroughly test each and every component that comes
off the production line due to the millions of electronic components that are produced
annually. Statistical process control and random sampling, which put particular emphasis
on four areas, ensure that the components are produced in accordance with the
necessary requirements.
⚫ Prior to being integrated to a PCB assembly (PCBA), components that would fail
early in their product life are discovered using stress screening and highly
accelerated life testing (HALT) (HASS). This may entail burn-in testing, electrical
stress testing, and vibration and shock testing.
⚫ Electrical testing makes that a PCBA complies with fundamental electrical criteria as
well as that the components fulfill the rated electrical parameters. At a
minimum, automated testing tools may inspect the final PCBA and the bare PCB
for electrical connectivity. For this stage to be completed, the designer must
provide the manufacturer with test data.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
⚫ Reliability testing is performed on PCBA’s and batches of components to assess
how well they can tolerate high mechanical stresses or environmental conditions.
⚫ Once a prototype is constructed, test engineers often carry out functional testing,
during which the system is tested in accordance with the set performance
standards. If the board malfunctions in this scenario, the individual components
are only tested, and the root cause must be identified as one specific component.
Common Components Testing Equipment
Common component testing equipment includes:
⚫ Component and IC testers – Integrated Circuit (IC) testers are battery-powered

portable devices ideal for testing components such as batteries, diodes, LEDs,
SCRs, and transistors. They can measure parameters such as voltage,
resistance, capacitance, continuity and more
⚫ Decade Boxes – used to substitute standard value components in a circuit,
decade boxes consist of a series of resistors, capacitors, and inductors to
replicate different electrical values. They allow the accuracy of test equipment to
be verified before use, as well as being used for troubleshooting purposes
⚫ Ohmmeters – Ohmmeters are used to measure the electrical resistance and
continuity of an electrical circuit and its components. By passing a small current
through the sample, the instrument can measure the resistance by the voltage
drop that is produced when the current passes through said sample.

Group 6 Revision #
Electronics Test Equipment
Depending on the application, a variety of different test equipment items are

needed to thoroughly test an electronics circuit. This will guarantee that the DUT is
powered appropriately, fed representative signals, and that outputs are evaluated in
accordance with the specification. By being able to observe (and maybe decode signals
within) any component of the circuit, the test engineer will also be better able to
comprehend how the entire circuit is functioning.High-speed production testing can be
facilitated by these devices being remotely controlled and operated by test scripts.
Typical test tools for use at different stages of a design's life include:
Bench Power Supplies - To generate accurate and fully

controllable DC supply at the
required voltage and current.
Oscilloscopes - Capture, process, display and analyse

detailed information about electronic
signal wave forms.

Industrial Electronics Troubleshooting Equipment and Techniques
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to identify the
equipment and techniques/approaches used in troubleshooting electronic components.
Introduction to Electronics Troubleshooting Techniques

The technician needs to have a solid understanding of communication circuits and
concepts due to the growing complexity of electronic communications equipment. The
technician must be quick to isolate problematic parts and fix the damaged circuit in
order to be a successful troubleshooter. Understanding how a circuit could breakdown
is essential for quick repair processes.
Basic Troubleshooting Test Equipment
1. Digital Mulltimeter (DMM)

- is a test tool used to measure two or more electrical values—principally
voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). It is a standard
diagnostic tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries.
The testing capabilities of single-task meters, such as the voltmeter (for

measuring volts), ammeter (for measuring amps), and ohmmeter, are combined
in digital multimeters (ohms). They frequently come with a number of extra
specialized features or cutting-edge alternatives. Therefore, technicians with
certain requirements might look for a model that is tailored to their requirements.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
Components of Multimeter
1. Display - Where measurement readouts can be viewed.
2. Buttons - For selecting various functions; the options vary by
model.
3. Dial (or rotary switch) - For selecting primary measurement
values (volts, amps, ohms).
4. Input jacks - Where test leads are inserted.
2. Broadband Oscilloscope (Dual Case)

- To simultaneously measure the electrical activity of two or more
channels, a dual trace oscilloscope is required. This makes it possible
to see the patterns being noticed more clearly. Additionally, it is
crucial for confirming the precision of measurements.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
3. Signal Generators (Audio and RF)
Radio Frequency (RF) Signal Generators

- To produce persistent wave tones, radio frequency (RF) signal
generators are used. In numerous applications, including mechanical,
telecommunications, and industrial, these are used to test collectors,
test frameworks, and parts. They are employed in a variety of
applications, including mechanical, telecommunications, industrial,
and testing receivers, test systems, and component. Generators of
radio frequency (RF) signals range in frequency from a few kHz to 6
GHz.
Audio Signal Generators

- Audio signal generators produce signals that are audible, or
commonly between 20 Hz and 20 KHz. It is used to verify the
measurements of distortion and frequency response in an audio
system. With a comparatively simple circuit and an audio signal
generator, even very low distortion may be monitored. Harmonic
distortion is at extremely low levels. In electronic laboratories, these
generators can be used in a variety of ways. The term "synthesizer"
refers to those generators that produce musical audio waves through
complex processes.

4. Test Probes and Clips Leads
Troubleshooting using Senses

1. Look
- for discolored or charred components that might indicate
overheating.
2. Smell
- some components, especially transformers, that emit
characteristic odors when overheated.
3. Feel
- for hot components. Wiggle components to find broken
connections.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
4. Listen
- for “frying” noises that indicate a component is about to
fail.
Troubleshooting Plans/Strategies
1. Symptoms As Clues to Faulty Stage

- Using this method, an electronic device's circuit function is linked to a
specific defect. For instance, if a service technician observed a
white horizontal line on the TV screen of a set that was brought in for
repair, he or she would likely link this symptom to the vertical output
section. That part of the TV set would be the first to undergo
troubleshooting. As you get more skilled at troubleshooting, you'll
begin to link particular circuit operations to specific symptoms.
2. Signal Tracing and Signal Injection

- A test signal is provided at a circuit's input by a process known as
signal injection, and the circuit's output is then checked for the test
signal by listening for an audible tone or by looking for the test
signal. An RF signal modified with an audible frequency typically
makes up this test signal. Repeat the test in the following stage if the
signal at the circuit's output is sound. Checking for the typical output
signal from a stage is what signal tracing, as shown in the diagram
below, actually entails. These pulses can be detected using an
oscilloscope. To find out whether output signals are present,
however, there is additional test gear that is available. Signal tracing
involves looking for the anticipated signal at a stage's output. The
following stage in line is examined if the signal is present. The
absence of the output signal comes before the stage of malfunction.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
3. Voltage And Resistance Measurement
- Measurements are made of voltage and resistance in relation to
chassis ground. Measurements are taken at specified locations in the
circuit, and the results are compared to those in the equipment's
service manual using a DMM (digital multimeter). The values are
printed directly on the schematic diagram in service manuals or
provided as voltage and resistance charts for the equipment. Once
the issue has been confined to a particular component of the
equipment, voltage and resistance tests are carried out to isolate the
problematic parts. Keep in mind that resistance measurements are
performed on circuits that are powered off.
4. Substitution
- Swapping a component that is known to be good for one that is
suspected of being defective is another approach frequently
employed to troubleshoot electronic circuits. Here, a word of caution
is in order: the replacement operation could result in harm to the good
component. Avoid developing the practice of randomly replacing
parts. This approach performs best when the failure has been
focused on a particular component.

JOB SHEET LO1.1-3
Title : Using an oscilloscope
Performance Objective: It is intended for someone with little to no expertise with

electronics or oscilloscopes and will teach you through the fundamentals of using
an oscilloscope.
Supplies : Oscilloscope
Equipment : Oscilloscope
Steps/Procedure:
Step 1: Controls Overview
All oscilloscopes have some basic controls in common, be sure you can identify
these controls on your oscilloscope:
Step 2: Setup
Turn on your oscilloscope. If nothing is plugged into the oscilloscope you should
be able to see a flat line, this means that the voltage of the input is not changing over
time. If you see a line that is not flat, try disconnecting the probe from the oscilloscope. If
the screen is blank try the following (remember all oscilloscopes are a little different,
don't worry about pressing buttons if you're not sure, you won't break anything):
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
Step 3: Connect to Oscillating Signal
For this next step you will need a steady signal of constant frequency. If you have
a waveform generator you can use that, set it to a pulse or square wave with 2.5V
amplitude at 500Hz.
Generating waveform
Step 4: Set Trigger

Once you connect to your signal, you should see the flat line turn into a waveform
of some kind. Adjust your time/div so that you can see separation between the
oscillations, adjust the volts/div and vertical position so that the waveform oscillates
within the limits of the screen.
Step 5: Scale
Adjust volts/div, time/div, and vertical position until you frame the wave on the
oscilloscope screen as shown in the first image above.
Step 6: Measure Amplitude

The amplitude of the wave is the difference between the height of the peaks of a
wave and the wave's equilibrium (the value which the wave is oscillating around). In this
case I've centered the wave to oscillate around the center horizontal grid line.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
Step 7: Measure Frequency
The frequency of a wave is the number of times per second that a wave repeats its
shape. We cannot directly measure the frequency on the oscilloscope, but we can
measure a closely related parameter called period; the period of a wave is the amount of
time it takes to complete one full cycle.
Step 8: Advanced Oscilloscope: AC/DC/Ground Coupling

You may have noticed the AC and DC coupling option on your oscilloscope by now.
Generally you will use AC coupling when you are looking at an AC signal and DC coupling
for DC signals.
Step 9: Advanced Oscilloscope: Dual Channel Measurements

If your oscilloscope has multiple channels, you can look at multiple inputs at the
same time. This is especially useful for looking at changes in a signal as it moves through
your circuit.
Step 10: Advanced Oscilloscope: X-Y Mode

In the introduction I mentioned that usually oscilloscope curves show the
relationship between voltage and time. There are occasions where it is useful to compare
the voltage of one signal verses another. This is especially useful for plotting I-V curves
for diodes and other components.

Industrial Electronics Components
Learning Objective:
electronics components and products used involved in Industrial Electronics Servicing.
Types of Industrial Electronics Components
1. Resistors
- One of the more contemporary devices you'll see in an integrated circuit is a

resistor. The device, which resists the progression of flow, is an electrical
passive two-terminal device, as the name suggests. One of the most important
contemporary electrical components used in electronic circuits. In light of the
opposition's opinions and force assessments, the resistors are examined.
Ohms, the units used for estimation, have the electronic symbol Ω, while ohms
are the actual units used in measurement. It's a good idea to use resistors to
regulate the circuit's current and voltage.
Three Main Functions of Resistors are:

o Dividing voltage
o Resistor-capacitor network
o Managing the current flow

Reading Resistor Color Codes
- Three or Four Band Resistors
o The resistance value in ohms' first two digits is always indicated by the
first two bands. The third band on a resistor with three or four bands
stands for the multiplier. To put it simply, this multiplier will move the
decimal point so that your number can range from mega ohms to
milliohms and wherever in between. Tolerance is represented by the
fourth color band. Remember that the default tolerance is 20% if this
band is absent and you are looking at a three-band resistor.
- Five or Six Band Resistors

o High-precision resistors include an additional color band to denote a
third significant digit. If your resistor has five or six color bands, the third
band, together with bands one and two, becomes this extra digit. The
fourth color band becomes the multiplier and the fifth band becomes the
tolerance while the rest moves to the right. A six-band resistor is
essentially a five-band resistor with an extra ring denoting the
temperature coefficient (ppm/K) standard or dependability. The
resistance value changes by 0.1% for every 10°C increase in
temperature while using brown, the most popular sixth band color.

2. Capacitors
- The second-most often used component in electronic circuits, behind resistors,

is probably capacitors. Although capacitors resemble batteries, they provide a
variety of roles in a circuit, such as blocking direct current while allowing the
exchanging current to smooth out or pass the output from a power supply. In
addition, they are used for force stream and voltage adjustment in electric
force transmission frameworks.
Types of Capacitors
 Fixed Capacitor
- One of the most common types of capacitors is the fixed capacitor. The values
of their capacitance are fixed.

Group 6 Revision #
Types of Fixed Capacitors
 Ceramic Capacitors
- Ceramic capacitors are one of the more
well-known varieties of capacitor. Due to
their reasonable pricing and
dependability, this capacitor type can be
used in a variety of applications,
including audio and RF. Values for
ceramic capacitors range from a few
picofarads to 0.1 microfarads. Although
their loss factor varies depending on the
system's dielectric, overall, the figure is
still regarded as being particularly low.
 Electrolytic Capacitors
- For low-frequency uses like audio
coupling and power supplies, this
polarized capacitor type works
excellently. They are able to offer high
capacitance values, which are often
exceeding 1 μF.
 Film and Paper Capacitors

- To meet different needs, various film
capacitors, including metalized polyester
and polystyrene film capacitors, have
been developed. The polystyrene film
capacitors are one of the more affordable
types of capacitors with a frequency
response that is only limited to a few
hundred kHz. For applications that call
for it, they also offer a close tolerance
capacitor. Although the polyester film
capacitor's tolerance of 5% or 10% is thought to be low, the good
news is that it is also affordable. The metalized polyester film
capacitor is created from an unmetallized polyester film capacitor.
Due to their thin electrodes and consequent ability to fit into a
relatively smaller package, they are significantly smaller than typical
polyester film capacitors.

 Super Capacitor
- Supercap or ultra-capacitor are other names for
the super capacitor. This capacitor, which
delivers very high amounts of capacitance said
to be up to several thousand Farads, is another
common form of capacitor. They are popular in
systems that need a memory hold-up supply as
well as in automotive applications.
 Glass Capacitor
- The name of this capacitor comes
from the glass used as the dielectric.
Due to their little loss, they perform at
high levels. Glass capacitors can
handle large RF currents as well.
Glass capacitors are among the
costliest capacitors on the market due
to their design and application.
 Variable Capacitor
- These ones, on the contrary, have adjustable capacitance values

(these values are tunable.)

3. Diodes
- Diodes are two-terminal devices that, in a sense, allow the electric

flow to stream in a single direction The anode and cathode terminals
are the two parts that make up every diode.
- The majority of the materials used in industrial electronic components
are vacuum tubes or semiconductor diodes. However, today silicon, a
semiconductor material, is used to manufacture the great majority of
Diodes. Diodes have clear uses throughout industries, despite being
one of the most straightforward modern electrical components in an
electronic circuit.

Diode Applications in Industry:
 AC to DC transformation
 Bypass diodes
 Voltage spike assurance
 Signal demodulation
 Reverse current assurance
4. Transistors
- Since they are arguably the most crucial components of an electronic

circuit, transistors have revolutionized the hardware industry. It is a
three-terminal device, and in order for the other two terminals, the
producer and gatherer, to handle the current flowing across them, a
voltage must be given to one of the terminals, such as the base
terminal. Transistors are frequently used as speakers and exchange
devices. Silicon is typically the substance used in semiconductors
since it is both more temperature-tolerant and less expensive to
produce.
Applications of Transistors
 Transistors in portable hearing aids
 Transistors in PCs and calculators
 Darlington transistors
 IGBT and MOSFET transistors

5. Inductors
- Inductors, also known as reactors, are two-terminal circuit segments

that are not active. The device stores energy in its magnetic field and
releases it into the circuit as needed. A wire loop wrapped around a
simple center—which could be a magnet or air—is what makes up an
inductor.
- When the current flows through the inductor, an attractive field is
produced. It was discovered that when two inductors are placed near
to one another without making contact, the attractive field created by
the major inductor affects the second inductor.
Applications of Inductors
 Filters in tuned circuits
 Inductors as gags
 Ferrite beads
 Inductors in proximity sensors
 Induction motors
 Transformers
 Energy storage

6. Integrated Circuits
- The main purpose of integrated circuits is to increase the functionality

of electronic devices while reducing the size and cost of their
assembly. The complexity of integrated circuits has increased as
technology has advanced, which is the reason why consumer
electronics like PCs, smartphones, workstations, and other devices
are constantly getting better.
7. Relays
- A relay is nothing more than an electromagnetic switch that can be

used to electronically or electromechanically close and open circuits.
All you need to work a hand-off is a reasonably little current. To
handle low flows in a control circuit, relays are used.
Applications of Relay:

Troubleshooting, Repair and Maintenance of Industrial
Components
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to know how to do
basic troubleshooting, repair and maintenance of industrial components.
A comprehensive manual for industrial equipment repair, maintenance, and

troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is a type of problem resolution that is frequently used to fix

broken components or operations on a machine or a system. In order to address an
issue and get the product or process back in operation, a logical, methodical search for
the problem's source is required. It takes troubleshooting to find the symptoms.
Maintenance
Technically speaking, maintenance in industrial, commercial, and residential

installations refers to functional inspections, servicing, repairing, or replacing necessary
devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure, and supporting utilities.
Repair
To repair anything is to make it whole again by mending it or fixing it. Mend or fix
What is maintenance troubleshooting?
System failures are an unavoidable reality. Whether it's a conveyor belt or an

industrial drill, we've all encountered a piece of machinery that is dysfunctional, broken,
or operating strangely for no apparent reason. It may even be downright annoying.
When the issue is not immediately apparent, maintenance troubleshooting is the

technique used to figure out what is wrong with these defective parts and systems. When
troubleshooting maintenance issues, a systematic four-step process is typically used:
identify the issue, formulate a solution, test the solution, and fix the issue. Before a
resolution is reached, steps one through three are frequently repeated several times.

Group 6 Revision #
Why does maintenance troubleshooting matter?
The sole purpose of maintenance troubleshooting is to address unexpected

equipment failure. There wouldn't be a need for troubleshooting if assets never
malfunctioned without showing obvious indicators of impending breakdown. However, we
are aware that is not the case.
Failure of machinery doesn't always occur in a predictable way. The likelihood of

unplanned downtime can be decreased by maintenance teams using condition-based
maintenance and preventative maintenance. But you can never completely get rid of it.
What you can do is set up procedures to minimize failure as much as possible, and when
it does happen, rectify it as fast as you can. Strong maintenance troubleshooting
approaches are useful in this situation.
Humans will always have a part in maintenance because troubleshooting is a

necessary component. Technology for maintenance just makes troubleshooting
considerably more effective; it does not completely replace the requirement for human
intervention. Poor troubleshooting can result in time spent looking for information, a
significant loss of production, a dangerous working environment, and more failures over
time. In other words, having some knowledge of maintenance troubleshooting methods
could mean the difference between a maintenance program with an enormous backlog
and one that is stable.
Maintenance troubleshooting tips
The following are just a few ways your operation can improve its troubleshooting
techniques to conquer chaos and take control of its maintenance.
1. Quantify asset performance and understand how to use the results
- It certainly goes without saying, but the better qualified you'll be to identify a problem,
the better you'll know an asset. When you've used an asset for a while, you can
usually tell when something isn't quite right. However, excellent troubleshooting goes
beyond simply being familiar with the typical speeds, noises, and smells of a given
equipment. Advanced reporting comes into play when it comes to knowing how to
analyze asset performance at a deeper level.
- Operators and technicians leave themselves with enormous knowledge gaps when
they only rely on their own prior expertise with a piece of equipment, which
negatively affects the maintenance troubleshooting process. It, for instance, gives
recency bias too much freedom to influence decision-making, which implies that
technicians are more likely to try the last solution that solved a certain issue rather
than looking further into the fundamental cause. Additionally, if maintenance
troubleshooting depends on the specialized knowledge of a small number of

11/18/22 Page 33 of

Group 6 Revision #
technicians, repairs will need to wait until those specific maintenance staff members
are available.
2. Create in-depth asset histories
- Information is the energy source of excellent maintenance troubleshooting. A solid

place to start a repair is by understanding how a certain asset has functioned and
failed for hundreds of others. Manuals are useful when putting troubleshooting
maintenance skills into practice because of this. Asset machine failure doesn't
always proceed as planned because every asset, facility, and operation is unique. A
dead end can be broken and a solution found much more quickly if you have
thorough notes on an asset's history.
- In a number of ways, having a thorough asset history can provide you an advantage
when troubleshooting maintenance issues. It provides a straightforward technique for
comparing symptoms of the current issue with components of prior issues. For
instance, a technician can check to verify if a machine handled a specific kind of
material or if any early failure indicators were found. A problem is more likely to
require the same treatment the more closely it resembles a previous circumstance.
This method of prioritizing solutions can result in fewer errors, less downtime, less
use of unneeded extra parts, and more.
3. Use root cause analysis and failure codes
- The first step in effective maintenance troubleshooting is getting rid of uncertainty

and temporary fixes. A winning formula involves rapidly identifying the problem's
source, effectively resolving it, and making sure it stays resolved. You can
accomplish this goal with the aid of failure codes and root cause analysis, among
other techniques. A maintenance troubleshooting method called root cause analysis
enables you to identify the cause of a malfunction. Asking "why" repeatedly will help
you identify the root of the issue. For example:
1. Why did the equipment fail?: Because a bearing wore out

2. Why did the bearing wear out?: Because a coupling was misaligned
3. Why was the coupling misaligned?: Because it was not serviced recently.
4. Why was the coupling not serviced?: Because maintenance was not
scheduled.
5. Why was maintenance not scheduled?: Because we weren’t sure how often
it should be scheduled.
4. Build detailed task lists
- Excellent maintenance troubleshooting calls for careful preparation and anticipation.

For technicians, clear processes serve as a road map for promptly identifying issues
and putting better solutions into action. Making thorough job lists is one method to
strengthen your planning and prevent future problems. This might also be included in
regular maintenance.
- A task list summarizes the various tasks that must be finished in order to accomplish
a bigger project. They make sure that when conducting inspections, audits, or PMs,

important processes are not overlooked. The bigger task might be, for instance,
performing a regular inspection of the defibrillators in your facility. Smaller activities,
such "Verify battery installation" and "Inspect external components for fractures," are
broken down into a list for this work.
5. Make additional information accessible
- Great maintenance troubleshooting procedures are frequently the product of great

information, as we've said before and will say again. But if getting to that knowledge
is challenging, you'll lose any advantages it might have. Because of this, it is
essential for your business to both build a sizable resource center and make it widely
accessible. This will improve your maintenance troubleshooting skills and hasten the
return of your assets to service in the event of unforeseen downtime.
- Starting with the components of an excellent information center Reports, asset
histories, failure codes, and task lists have all been discussed as crucial components
of troubleshooting techniques. Diagrams, standard operating procedures (SOPs),
training films, and manuals are a few additional crucial materials. All of these ought
to be listed and arranged according to asset. These tools can provide a solution that
might have been overlooked in the initial analysis if a technician runs into a dead end
during a troubleshooting procedure.
Tips for Keeping Up with Component Maintenance
1. Implement Preventive Measures
- Make careful to consult the component library at your firm to see what safeguards
should be put in place for each device. Does your business, for instance, using a lot
of iPads? To avoid damage on the job site, think about making an investment in
industrial-strength cases. Check out what works best for your business among the
many various types of electronics and security solutions available today. In the long
term, it might end up saving a ton of time and money.
2. Perform Software Updates
- Checking for updates on a regular basis helps guarantee that software-dependent

equipment continue to function properly and can help avoid security problems. Keep
up with the manufacturer for the most recent upgrades and updates; they might even
provide an email list that notifies you once a new update is available.
3. Set Up a Routine
- There's a reason why so many people these days rely solely on Google calendars.
They provide us with the necessary reminders and keep us on schedule for work,
events, and other things. Any platform that your company uses to schedule meetings
can also be used to schedule routine maintenance, whether that entails hiring a

contractor or delegating responsibility to your internal IT department. With the aid of
this routine, you can identify problems earlier, cut costs, and avert potentially fatal
accidents.
4. Clean All Devices
- To prevent damage, make sure to unplug all electrical equipment before cleaning.
After taking the necessary safety measures, it is crucial to properly clean all
electronics. Do you regularly use machinery in your business, for instance? If so, you
might think about utilizing the right equipment to clean the gadget completely and
lubricant supplies to keep the moving parts in good working order.
5. Store Properly
- Electronics must be properly preserved after use by staff members or customers in

order to prolong their lifespan. Organize all tools and gadgets according to their size
or use, then check to see if each one is still safe from danger. This keeps them
secure and fosters helpful organizing behaviors that make information accessible
when needed. Make sure all devices are stored in a cool, dry location away from
direct sunlight. Rationally molded hard cases can be an useful way to safely store
and ship electronics.
Why maintenance, repair and troubleshooting are important?
It first enables you to swiftly pinpoint and solve the immediate source of failure. It
also guides you to the root of the problem and a long-term fix. In the aforementioned
illustration, it is obvious that a better preventive maintenance program is needed to
enhance asset management and decrease unscheduled downtime. By ensuring that they
are in good operating condition, preventive maintenance serves to prevent failure of
parts, materials, and systems. Troubleshooting is a methodical process for identifying the
root of a problem in a computer system. Effective preventive maintenance reduces
failures. Repairing and maintaining what you already have makes you happier in the long
and short term and frees up money for more rewarding things. You can look back on the
experience of repairing with satisfaction and probably some pride.

Application of Work Safety Practices and Time Management
Learning Objective:
safety and Time management practices in the industry.
Application of work safety practices and time management

Industrial safety management helps you maintain the safety of everyone and
everything at your facility. Safety management helps you avoid unscheduled downtime
and legal liabilities, both of which cost you time and money.
The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) is the main regulatory
body that maintains and enforces the standard procedures and requirements for
ensuring industrial safety. Generally, if there is a question about safety, OSHA is part of
the answer.
Benefits of industrial safety management
No matter your industry, the objective of all industrial safety management is to

keep your work environment accident free. And being safe pays in more ways than one.
 First, you avoid the costs connected to onsite accidents, including insurance,
litigation and damage to reputation. An accident can end a career because
organizations need employees that generate value, not ones that cost their
money.

Group 6 Revision #
 Second, safety helps you avoid unscheduled downtime. Remember, as soon as
there’s an accident, everything stops. In a production setting, it can be your entire
line. In a warehouse, it can be the whole loading dock.
 Third, the right safety program can promote better overall performance. When
people in your facility can see that the organization running it cares about them, it
boosts morale. People want to feel their company cares about them, and
everything from having properly displayed signage to a fully stocked supply closet
of personal protective equipment shows that the company cares.
Industrial safety equipment
Type of industrial safety equipment varies by industry. But there is often a lot of
overlap. For example, most industries use personal protective equipment (PPE).
 Safety glasses protect the eyes when welding or using specific tools. Because
dust and debris can cause injuries, make sure they fit and protect the eyes
from the sides.
 Hearing protection using muffs or earplugs prevents hearing damage or loss
when exposed to extreme noise.
 Safety gloves are critical when working with chemicals, sharp objects, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures. Make sure the gloves fit to avoid burns or
lacerations.
 Face shields like safety glasses, employees should wear face shields to avoid
flying debris while using equipment.
 Safety shoes close-toed, non-slip shoes made from a thick material help
prevent slips, trips, and falls. They also protect against burns and lacerations.
In many industries, including for example oil and gas, many injuries are from
falling objects. Safety helmets protect the brain from falling tools and equipment.
Because head injuries are so often life changing or even fatal, people onsite need
to wear head protection even when just quickly passing through certain high-risk
areas.

Group 6 Revision #
 Deliver work on time
Allocating a finite time period to tasks help you complete them on time. It
also helps you to manage your workload in the most effective way. When you
have time-boxed tasks, your brain gets rewired to follow the structure and
accomplish those activities within the desired time-frame. Thus, you can easily
deliver work on time if you have managed your time well.
 Provide a better quality of work

As a dedicated employee, you are expected to provide work of certain
quality and standards. With the proper utilization of time and prioritization of
activities, one can easily provide a better quality of work. Prioritization helps you
focus on important tasks by keeping them in the highest priority which enables
you to work on them with full attention and focus. Hence, the quality of the work is
improved.
 More productivity and efficiency

It is no secret that effective time management skills make you more
productive and efficient as a working professional. These skills are helpful in
helping you finish tasks as early as possible without compromising on the quality
of work. Your overall productivity often goes for a toss when you’re working on
unimportant tasks but effective time management skills let you tick off tasks that
are both important and urgent on time.

Reassembling Procedures in Industrial Electronics
Learning Objective:
Functional testing is the main emphasis of the industrial components repair process at
Industrial Electronics. With system-specific test equipment, repairs of the highest caliber are
made and thoroughly evaluated. To accommodate the range of tests needed and for all repaired
objects, hundreds of different testing fixtures are used.
Advanced diagnostic tools are used to quickly pinpoint the root

problem. State-of-the-art equipment is available to replace high density
components for:
 Control Systems
A control system uses control loops to manage, command, direct, or govern the
behavior of other equipment or systems. It can range from a single thermostat-controlled
boiler in a single-family home to massive industrial control systems that are used to
manage whole production lines.
 Panel Controllers
Windows desktops, laptops, and tablets all have a single configuration area called
the Control Panel. Almost all operating system settings, including those for the keyboard
and mouse, passwords and users, networks, desktop backgrounds, noises, hardware,
application installation and removal, speech recognition, and parental controls, can be
changed with its assistance.
 HMI and Display Panels

Human-Machine Interface is one of the hottest topics in Industrial Automation. In
fact, it would appear that the future of this field lies right in the hands of this technology.
 Industrial PCs
An industrial PC is a computer intended for industrial purposes (production of
goods and services), with a form factor between a nettop and a server rack.

 Drives (Inverter and Servo)
An electronic inverter converts dc power to ac. Drives contain inverters to
generate the ac signals needed to drive a motor. So labeling something a servo inverter
really only refers to one of the electronic systems in a drive.
 Power Supply
A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical
load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to
the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load.
As a preventive maintenance measure, all components subject to high degradation with

age, such as electrolytic capacitors and NVRAM, are replaced. Great care is taken to retain
application programs and data parameters.
Routine Control system preventative maintenance is required to ensure any faults are
highlighted and rectified before they cause a break down.

Environmental Requirements
The authoritative reference, Environmental Requirements for Electromechanical
and Electrical Equipment, contains all of the background information, typical ranges,
information on recommended test specifications, case studies, and rules pertaining to
the environmental requirements on designers and manufacturers of electrical and
electromechanical equipment worldwide.
Before you install a system, your physical environment must meet certain
requirements. This includes verifying that adequate space is available and that
requirements for power and environmental conditions are met.
Safety notices
Use the following general safety information for all rack-mounted devices.
DANGER:
 Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack
system:
 Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if

mishandled.
 Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
 Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
 To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always
install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install
servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
 Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do

not place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.
 Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to
disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect
power during servicing.
 Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the
same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack
cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
 An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on
the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
CAUTION:
 Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will
exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your
rack-mounted devices.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
 Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air
flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air
flow through the unit.
 Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the

supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the
supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power
connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the
rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
 (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack
stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one
drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one
drawer at a time.
 (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for
servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the
drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become
unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
Important: In addition, remember:
 The rack design must support the total weight of the installed enclosures
and incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack from
tipping or being pushed over during installation or normal use.
 The rack must have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide
overcurrent protection for the enclosure and must not be overloaded by the
total number of enclosures installed. The electrical power consumption
rating that is shown on the nameplate should be observed.
 The electrical distribution system must provide a reliable ground for each
enclosure in the rack.

JOB SHEET LO1.1-3
Title : How to Use a Soldering Iron
Performance Objective: Soldering is the process of joining together metal parts,

and it entails using a metal referred to as solder to melt in the space between two
metal components. Once the solder cools and solidifies, it creates a permanent
connection between these parts.
Supplies : Soldering Iron
Equipment : Solder, soldering iron, exhaust fan, Soldering iron,

Cleaning sponge, Soldering iron holder, Safety goggles, wires, Two items
Steps/Procedure:
Step 1: Prepare Yourself To Solder

Before you can start soldering together two parts, the first thing to do is
confirming you’ve assembled all the appropriate tools.
Step 2: Connect Your Soldering Iron To Power

Once you’ve assembled and prepared your workstation, plug in your
soldering iron to power and give it time to heat up. This shouldn’t take so long,
and make sure not to touch it after it becomes very hot.
Step 3: Fasten The Items You’re Soldering

When soldering, it’s essential to make sure to have an excellent grip. You
should do this by using a frame or vice to ensure everything is appropriately
held in a suitable position.
Step 4: Clean The Soldering Iron’s Tip

After the tip of the soldering iron reaches the desired temperature, you
now need to clean it using a wet sponge. You can do this either using a separate
sponge or using the one found on the soldering base.
Step 5: Apply Flux

When carrying out soldering, it’s necessary to use flux, which helps
remove any oxides while you’re soldering. You need to make sure the melting
point of the flux is lower than that of the solder.
Step 6: Tin the Soldering Iron

Tinning your soldering iron is also a must learn when learning about the
steps to follow when using the soldering iron. This process involves coating the
tip of the soldering iron with a thin solder coat.
Date Document No.

Group 6 Revision #
Step 7: Join The Parts
You should get the two components that needed to be soldered together
using the solder. While doing this, you need to hold your soldering iron with the
dominant hand while the solder is on the other hand. Maintain this position for a
few seconds and then start sliding the solder below the soldering iron’s tip,
placing it in between the PCB.
Step 8: Assess The Joint

The solder joint should ideally look even and smooth plus with concave
sides. It should also look flat instead of looking similar to a raised ball. If the
solder connection doesn’t look anything like this, you’ll need to reheat and then
add more solder.
Step 9: Fixing Any Error and Desoldering

In case of any error, you shouldn’t be too critical of yourself since anyone
can make a mistake. The most common mistakes done include placing
something in an incorrect position or using excess solder.
