FOREWORD

The Government of India has set an ambitious target of imparting skills to 30 crores people, one out of every
four Indians, by 2020 to help them secure jobs as part of the National Skills Development Policy. Industrial
Training Institutes (ITIs) play a vital role in this process especially in terms of providing skilled manpower.
Keeping this in mind, and for providing the current industry relevant skill training to Trainees, ITI syllabus
has been recently updated with the help of Mentor Councils comprising various stakeholder's viz. Industries,
Entrepreneurs, Academicians and representatives from ITIs.

The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI), Chennai has now come up with instructional material to
suit the revised curriculum for Instrument Mechanic - 1st Year (Volume II of II) - Trade Practical-
NSQF Level - 5 in Electronics and hardware Sector under Yearly Pattern. The NSQF Level - 5 Trade
Practical will help the trainees to get an international equivalency standard where their skill proficiency
and competency will be duly recognized across the globe and this will also increase the scope of
recognition of prior learning. NSQF Level - 5 trainees will also get the opportunities to promote life long
learning and skill development. I have no doubt that with NSQF Level - 5 the trainers and trainees of ITIs,
and all stakeholders will derive maximum benefits from these IMPs and that NIMI's effort will go a long way
in improving the quality of Vocational training in the country.

The Executive Director & Staff of NIMI and members of Media Development Committee deserve appreciation
for their contribution in bringing out this publication.

PREFACE
The National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI) was established in 1986 at Chennai by then Directorate
General of Employment and Training (D.G.E & T), Ministry of Labour and Employment, (now under Directorate
General of Training, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship) Government of India, with technical
assistance from the Govt. of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prime objective of this institute is to
develop and provide instructional materials for various trades as per the prescribed syllabus under the
Craftsman and Apprenticeship Training Schemes.

The instructional materials are created keeping in mind, the main objective of Vocational Training under
NCVT/NAC in India, which is to help an individual to master skills to do a job. The instructional materials are
generated in the form of Instructional Media Packages (IMPs). An IMP consists of Theory book, Practical
book, Test and Assignment book, Instructor Guide, Audio Visual Aid (Wall charts and Transparencies) and
other support materials.

The trade practical book consists of series of exercises to be completed by the trainees in the workshop.
These exercises are designed to ensure that all the skills in the prescribed syllabus are covered. The trade
theory book provides related theoretical knowledge required to enable the trainee to do a job. The test and
assignments will enable the instructor to give assignments for the evaluation of the performance of a trainee.
The wall charts and transparencies are unique, as they not only help the instructor to effectively present a
topic but also help him to assess the trainee's understanding. The instructor guide enables the instructor to
plan his schedule of instruction, plan the raw material requirements, day to day lessons and demonstrations.

IMPs also deals with the complex skills required to be developed for effective team work. Necessary care
has also been taken to include important skill areas of allied trades as prescribed in the syllabus.

The availability of a complete Instructional Media Package in an institute helps both the trainer and
management to impart effective training.

The IMPs are the outcome of collective efforts of the staff members of NIMI and the members of the Media
Development Committees specially drawn from Public and Private sector industries, various training institutes
under the Directorate General of Training (DGT), Government and Private ITIs.

NIMI would like to take this opportunity to convey sincere thanks to the Directors of Employment & Training
of various State Governments, Training Departments of Industries both in the Public and Private sectors,
Officers of DGT and DGT field institutes, proof readers, individual media developers and coordinators, but for
whose active support NIMI would not have been able to bring out this materials.

INTRODUCTION
TRADE PRACTICAL

The trade practical manual is intended to be used in practical workshop. It consists of a series of practical
exercises to be completed by the trainees during the course. These exercises are designed to ensure that all
the skills in compliance with NSQF LEVEL - 5 syllabus are covered.

The manual is divided into Sixteen modules.

The skill training in the shop floor is planned through a series of practical exercises centered around some
practical project. However, there are few instances where the individual exercise does not form a part of project.

While developing the practical manual, a sincere effort was made to prepare each exercise which will be easy to
understand and carry out even by below average trainee. However the development team accept that there is a
scope for further improvement. NIMI looks forward to the suggestions from the experienced training faculty for
improving the manual.

Module 1 Semi conductor, Transistors and power supply circuit 150


Module 2 Oscillators 25
Module 3 Operational amplifier 50
Module 4 Logic circuits 100
Module 5 A/D and D/A converters 25
Module 6 Digital meters & CRO 50
Module 7 Computers 75
Module 8 Microprocessor 8085 50

The trade theory has to be taught and learnt along with the corresponding exercise contained in the manual on
trade practical. The indications about the corresponding practical exercises are given in every sheet of this
manual.

It will be preferable to teach/learn trade theory connected to each exercise at least one class before performing
the related skills in the shop floor. The trade theory is to be treated as an integrated part of each exercise.

The material is not for the purpose of self-learning and should be considered as supplementary to class room
instruction.

TRADE THEORY

The manual of trade theory consists of theoretical information for the Course of the Instrument Mechanic Trade
Practical NSQF Level - 5 in Electronics & Hardware. The contents are sequenced according to the practical
exercise contained in NSQF LEVEL - 5 syllabus on Trade Theory attempt has been made to relate the theoretical
aspects with the skill covered in each exercise to the extent possible. This correlation is maintained to help the
trainees to develop the perceptional capabilities for performing the skills.

e) The light bulb keeps cycling ( continuously ON and
OFF). This could indicate problem in the SMPS
area and it can also mean the OPTO IC is sending
an Error signal to the primary circuit of power supply
through opto isolator IC causing the power supply
to cycle.

Inside the IC74163


There are two separate enable inputs, ENT and ENP, setting either of these inputs to logic 0 stops counting
asynchronously. Ripple Carry Output (RCO) is normally at logic 0 and goes to logic 1 when counter reaches
its highest count i.e., '1111'. It is used in cascading multiple 74163 ICs. Load is an active, low input which
allows the count on 'ABCD' to reflect on 'QAQBQCQD' at active clock edges. CLR is also an active low input
which clears counter as asynchronously to '0000'.

5 Connect the Pin No.3 to Pin No.6 of DPM for proper

9 Note down the actual and indicated current readings
and record in Table-1.
Calculation
• All digital panel meters, the full scale deflection are
200 mV full- scale.
• For the measurement of 1 Amps current through DPM,
correct power rating of the shunt resistor can be de-
termined by using the Ohm’s Law power formula.
2 The shunt resistor is placed in series with the applied P (Power) = V (Voltage) x I (Current)
current which causes a voltage deop to occur across P = Vmax x Imax = (0.200) x (1.0) = 0.1 Watt
the shunt.
• So we should use a 1/2 watt 1% resistor to be safe.
3 The shunt value depends on the maximum current flow
that will be encountered. For relatively small current
values (below 1 Amp) a 0.1 ohm shunt resistor is ad-
equate. This value will minimise any loading in the
circuit but will procedure a reasonable reading on the
DPM. If higher current levels will be encountered, 0.01
ohm or lower value should be used.
