PREPARING AND INTERPRETING
TECHNICAL DRAWING
Before starting with this module, let us find out what you already know
about Preparing and Interpreting Technical Drawing (PITD). Follow and answer
the activity below.
Directions: Identify the following computer symbols below. Select the words of
the correct answer inside the box. Write your answer in your CSS
activity notebook.

What’s New
What can you say about the sign in the picture below? Do you still want
to touch on that thing? How about if there was no sign appeared on and
accidentally you hold on it? What should you do? Now let us know how
important the symbol in dealing with the danger is. Just like using the computer,
you need to know some symbols to be aware of what was it means.

What is It
Computer Symbols
General Symbols
11. A symbol with a series of boxes and jagged lines with boxes in
the corners like that shown here is a QR Code and used to
store information for scanning. For example, you could scan the
QR code shown here to open the Computer Hope web page. Similar
markings could also be a matrix code or a barcode.
17. The fire symbol can have many different meanings when
used on a computer, software program, or an Internet web
page. The first meaning is that the item is hot and could mean
that it is critical, important, or popular and should be looked at
first. In some e-mail programs and services, the fire symbol represents junk,
and is a location where all spam and other junk e-mails are stored.
Directions: Match Column A with Column B. Write only the letter of the correct
answer in your CSS activity sheets.
Column A Column B
1. Represent a trademark. a.
c.
3. Represent a registered mark.

Component References
Components in a circuit should always have references, also
called reference designators, used to identify the components in the circuit. This
allows the components to easily be referenced in text or a component list. A
battery may have the reference designator "BAT" and a light bulb may have a
reference "L".
Because there could be more than one battery or light bulb in a circuit,
reference designators will usually always end with a number, e.g. BAT1 and L1
as shown in the circuit below. A second light bulb in the circuit would then have
the reference designator L2.

Parallel Circuit Example
In the circuit below, two light bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery
power source. It can be seen that the top terminals of the two light bulbs are
connected and to the positive terminal of the battery. We know this because the
three terminals or connection points have a node where they intersect.
The bottom terminals of the bulbs are connected and the negative
terminal of the battery because the second node shows these connections.

Common Electrical/Electronic Circuit Symbols
A potentiometer is used to
control the voltage flow and has
three contacts. Have
applications in changing a
mechanical angle change to an
Potentiometer Circuit electrical parameter.
Potentiometer Symbol Abbreviated as ‘POT’.
Capacitor is a device that is
used to store electrical energy.
It consists of two metals plates
that are separated by a
dielectric. It is applicable as a
filter, that is, to block DC
signals and allow AC signals.
Capacitor Capacitor Circuit Symbol Abbreviated with the letter ‘C’.
The working of
a phototransistor is similar to
that of a bipolar transistor with
a difference that it converts
light into its corresponding
current. The phototransistor
can also act as a photodiode if
Phototransistor Circuit the emitter is not connected.
Phototransistor Symbol
A galvanometer is used to
measure very small currents in
the order of 1 milli ampere or
Galvanometer Circuit less.
Galvanometer Symbol
An oscilloscope is used to
measure the voltage and time
period of signals along with
Oscilloscope Circuit their shape display.

Additional Activities
Congratulations! Job well done! Now you have prior knowledge of the
different circuit symbols you are also able to draw on it. This time we will make
a circuit diagram in actual application. Below is the picture of the AC - DC
converter circuit diagram. Your task is to perform actual wiring on the
components based on the circuit diagram. Don't worry because all the
components for this activity will be provided by your teacher. And during the
actual performance, your teacher will always be there to help you.
