HOW TO USE THIS MODULE

Welcome to the module “Apply Quality Standard”. This module contains

training materials and activities for you to complete.

The unit of competency “Apply Quality Standard” contains the knowledge, skills
and attitudes required for Electrical Installation and Maintenance course
required to obtain the National Certificate (NC) level II

You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to

complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning outcome
there are Information Sheets, Job Sheets, Operation Sheets and Activity
Sheets. Do these activities on your own and answer the Self-Check at the end of
each learning activity.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

You may already have some basic knowledge and skills covered in this
module. If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular skill,
talk to him/her so you do not have to undergo the same training again. If you
have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings, show it
to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with and relevant to this
module, they become part of the evidence. You can present these for RPL. If you
are not sure about your competence skills, discuss this with your teacher.

After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your competence.
Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the
learning activities are designed for you to complete at your own pace.

In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may have
more than one learning activity.

This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency in

receiving and relaying information. This will be the source of information that
will enable you to acquire the knowledge and skills in Electrical Installation and
Maintenance NC II independently at your own pace with minimum supervision
from your teacher.

TECHNICAL TERM
fire Point is the temperature at which oil will burn if ignited.

Flash Point is the temperature at which oil gives off ignitable vapors. The flash
point is not necessarily a safe upper limit for oil because some decomposition
takes place below the flash point.

Hirano refers to the terms Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness,

Standardized Cleanup, and Discipline

Lubrication Additives is defined as many of the physical properties of various

oils and greases.

Pour Point is the lowest temperature at which oil will pour or flow and is most
critical in low temperature applications.

Sorting means to sort through everything in each work area

Viscosity Index indicates how viscosity varies with temperature, which can be
an important consideration in applications where operating temperatures very

identify and understand the types of manuals

Types of Manual

There are basically three types of manuals;

 Operation Manual is also called an owners manual, instruction

book, handbook or handuchen. This type of manuals has
information on how to safely use the machine. It usually includes
basic maintenance, safety information and specifications. This
manual is usually with the machine when it is packed and delivered.

 Parts Manual isalso called a parts book, parts catalogue, or spare
parts list. This is similarly used by the representative at your dealers
parts counter although most of these manuals are now in computer
database format. Parts manual have exploded views of all parts, their
relationship and location. Usually these manuals also include the
part number and a brief description.

 Service Manual is also called a shop, repair, workshop, technical

manual. Service manuals tell you how to repair the machine, remove
parts, rebuild and replace the machine. One may be very detailed
dealer manual while others are short or brief.

Sample service manual

Other Types of Manual:

 I & T Service Manual is made for tractors and have been published
since the early 1950’s and are still available today. I & T service
manual has the necessary specifications and the brief but terse
procedural data needed by a mechanic when repairing a tractor on
which he has no previous actual experience.

 Operation and Test Manual ismade by John Deere and this tells
you how to figure which component of the machine may be causing
the problem.

 Diagnostic manual is introduced/designed byJohn Deere.

Diagnostic manual helps the user to diagnose the problem.
Diagnostic manual usually contains electrical and hydraulic
schematic (fold outs). This manual rarely contains actual repair
information.

 Schematics manual is commonly produced by many companies.

This manual usually folds out plans/diagrams of electrical and/or
hydraulic systems. This manual show cables, pipes, hoses and
connectors and illustrate their colors, routing and sizes.

 SIGNS AND SYMBOLS COMMONLY USED IN MANUALS

Your power tool and its Owner’s Manual may contain "WARNING ICONS" (a
picture symbolintended to alert you to, and/or instruct you how to avoid, a
potentially hazardouscondition). Understanding and heeding these symbols will
help you operating your toolbetter and safer.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, do not to remove cover or back of the
unit for a reason, to avoid other possible
hazards.

This lightning flash arrowhead symbol

within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of un –
insulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute risk of electric
shock to a person.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instruction within
the literature accompanying the device.

The marking of products using lasers means

that the units have been classified as class
1 and is utilizing laser beams that are of
weaker class. There is no danger of
hazardous radiation outside the unit.

Invisible laser radiation occurs when opened

and interlock failed or defeated This warns
the user to avoid exposure from the laser
beam.

Learning objectives: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to
familiarize in storing different types of manuals

Familiarization of various features of construction power tools,

devices and equipment can be achieved using manuals. They need to be stored
properly to prevent damage. They must be taken care well while being used so
that they can still be accessed for future references. In storing manuals, the
following factors should be considered:

 The types of paper can be easily damaged by either heat or

moisture under the extreme temperature. Sudden change of
climate will create certain effect in the condition of the paper.
Below are sample characteristics of paper to be considered.

Water resistance Dissolving paper

 A damp environment causes paper to become softened. This

will produce mold that will contribute to the deterioration.
Extreme heat and insufficient air causes paper to become
brittle so that it will be weaker and easily torn.

Fire resistant paper
