Troubleshooting and Repairing Instruments and Equipment
1. Receiving oral and/or written assignments. 2. Securing and using applicable schematics, procedures, equipment manuals, other technical documents. 3. Calibrating instruments and equipment. 4. Aligning and balancing component parts and circuitry. 5. Disassembling instruments and equipment, as needed, using hand tools. 6. Inspecting components for defects. 7. Removing, testing, repairing or replacing at the pc board, electronic component, or mechanical level such elements as: analog, digital, transistors, LED’s, integrated circuits, motors, power supplies, relays, solenoids, limit switches, logic controllers, sensors, styli, drives, resistors, capacitors. Being aware of static electricity damage to integrated circuits 8. Using hand tools and equipment such as: soldering irons, air pencils, taps and dies, mini-lathe, drill press, surface lapping tools, wrist grounding strap. 9. Reassembling instruments and equipment. 10. Recalibrating instruments and equipment. 11. Updating schematics and technical data when circuitry or system has been changed or modified. 12. Recording work done by entering data into computer and by affixing label to equipment. 13. Recognizing when repair is too sophisticated to be done in-house. Recognizing when repair is too costly to be feasible. 14. Training others in proper operation of all metrology equipment. 15. Performing preventive maintenance on test apparatus and peripheral equipment. Maintaining and analyzing history of maintenance.
