module, you should be able to.
.
Pictorial Drawing
✓can serve to be most useful in providing a layout of
the location and placement of specific component
parts.
Voltage Measurement
✓usually taken by using a voltmeter or an
oscilloscope.Zero circuit reading by identify and open
circuit, why low voltage reading will indicate a shorted
component. Always connect voltmeter in parallel with a
circuit when measuring voltage.
Amperage Measurement
✓is usually taken when using ammeter or a "clamp" on
the ammeter.It indicates and locates common circuit
faults such as short, open and grounds.Always connect
the ammeter in series with the circuit when measuring
current.
Ohmmeter
✓ is used to measure the continuity resistance of
a circuit, resistance or component.It is valuable in
locating shorts,grounds and open circuits.Always
shut off the power before measuring resistance.
Substitution Technique
✓ simply Means replacing
suspected faculty components
with a known good
component.This method can
save valuable time and
frustration for the servicer.
Application of Heat
✓is a technique whereby the technician applies heat
to a suspected "thermal intermittent " component.
Freezing Technique
✓this technique uses cold air from a fan or a
chemical coloolant.
Signal/Tracing Injection
✓most often used in servicing radios.The technician
injects a signal into the malfuctioning receiver in
order to locate the specific inoperable (dead stage).
Bypassing
✓a technique that a technician may use
to locate a suspected problem .
Components Testers
✓an instrument used to test the quality
of the component.It includes a mega
ohm meter capacitor checker ,test
lamp,transistor/diode tester,tube tester
and others.
