TELECOMMUNICATIONS (5766)
790-473 – WIRELESS COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT REPAIR
(module 18)
DESCRIPTION OF TEST

1 GUIDELINES AND INFORMATION

The test assesses the ability to repair wireless communication equipment.

A Durrani Wireless communication equipment repair Page #14/17

As many students as possible can be evaluated at the same time based on the
organizational capabilities of the training centre.

The suggested duration is 2 hours.

2 TEST RULES

Each individual student will complete repair work of wireless communication equipment starting
from written guidelines, a known good repair, plans and a troubleshooting procedures as well
as the necessary equipment.

Required repairs must cover modules 16 on the installation of radiocommunication

equipment and module 17 repeater systems. The choice of repairs by the examiner will
have to take into account problems connected to the installation, as well as problems
connected to the failure of a component of the system.

The level of complexity of the failure should allow the student to apply a repair
procedure and to respects the diagnostic stages to find the source of the problem in a
reasonable amount of time.
The student will have to confirm to the examiner his diagnosis before carrying out
repair. The student will demonstrate that the equipment works properly after the
repair and note in his report the work done, also results of test performed.

3 EQUIPMENT

Wireless communication equipment.

Measuring Instruments

Technical documentation

Tools

Work Sheets (repair records, repair forms).

Safety equipment and appropriate means of access

4 SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Any breach of the safety instructions will result in the immediate cessation of the test.
