SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

1.

Practical purpose and value of the ISAT to the workplace

The task requires integrated application of competency, knowledge and skills including cutting, drilling, planning Vero board layout, fitting and soldering components to ultimately construct an a-stable multivibrator. The task should take place in a simulated or structured environment. The process requires compliance to safety regulations and appropriate housekeeping. 2. Scope of the ISAT

This ISAT cover topic 1 of Electronic Control and Digital Electronics. Subject Outcomes 1, 2 and 3 are covered in this task. Demonstrate safety procedures followed when soldering and desoldering on a PC board and on vero board. Demonstrate the manual dexterity needed to remove and replace a variety of components on a PC board. Show how to find any semi-conductors operational limits by using technical manuals. Interpret the data found in technical manuals. Show how to look up replacement parts in technical manuals Describe the uses, application and functioning of timing circuits. Describe the uses, application and functioning of filter circuits. Demonstrate the ability to design, construct and test timing, filter and oscillator circuits observing the appropriate safety precautions and using the appropriate test equipment.

INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS This practical application task tests the students ability to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the Electrical Infrastructure and Construction level 2. The work required of the student in this Integrated Summative Assessment Task (ISAT) is an important and compulsory component of the studies.

1. You are required to: 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Study the task carefully. Note the time allocations per task. Note the submission dates. Pay careful attention to the mark allocated per section and the total. Study the resources required. Note the elements of the Assessment Tool that will be used to evaluate your performance in each sub-task. This is to ensure that you prepare sufficiently for the conduct of the ISAT.

2. Description of the task

The student must construct a-stable multi vibrator as per specifications given. The task consists of six sub-tasks. 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 Safety, selection and use of hand and power tools Selection and use of electronic test equipment and computer aided program Identification of components and materials Soldering and layout of components Workmanship of the completed task Understanding of DC and AC circuit

3. Instructions for the task

SUB-TASK 1 Safety, selection and use of hand power tools

The planning stage will be assessed and be part of the ISAT marks. Select the tools that you will need to perform this task. Test the power machines for safety and check the extension cord if it is save to use. While you are working keep your surroundings clean and do not waste material unnecessarily. Use safety equipments only is it is necessary. After you have completed your task, clean-up and pack away all tools and equipments that you have used. SUB-TASK 2 Selection and use of electronic test equipment and computer aided program

Use the component catalogue and identify the five legs to be used . Place the OPAMP correctly on the Integrated Circuit (IC) tray. Cut the Vero board to prevent short circuits between the two sides of the IC. Make use of a computer aided program to draw the circuit and test the circuit to determine whether it will operate. Transfer this drawing to the attached diagram sheet. SUB-TASK 3 Identification of components and material

Use the DIAGRAM SHEET drawing and transfer components to the Vero board. Bend the legs of the components to suit the holes in the Vero board. Make sure that the components are installed in such a way that you can solder the legs of the components to the board.

NC (V) Electrical Infrastructure and Construction Level 2 2010 - 2012

SUB-TASK 4 Soldering and layout of components

Do not use too much solder when you solder the components to the board. Put the tip of the soldering iron to both the component and the Vero board to ensure enough heat on both. This will ensure that no hot connections occur. Do not keep the soldering iron too long at one place on the board; it will over heat and the conductor will part from the board. After you have soldered, cut the access of the legs of the components short and make your project tidy.

SUB-TASK 5 Workmanship of the completed task

Check for loose connection on the soldering of the components. Cut of excess legs of the components. Insert the IC correctly in the IC holder. Insert and connect the battery in the holder. Test the a-stable multi vibrator by switching on the toggle switch after you have put in the battery. The two LEDs will light up one after the other.

SUB-TASK 6 Understanding of DC and AC Circuit

After switching the power on and the OPAMP operates, take it to the assessor for assessment. If the OPAMP does not operate, apply fault finding techniques and solve the problem. Refer to the attached Data Sheet all the time.
