 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Is a symbolic drawing of a circuit showing how the components are
connected. The pictorial of a circuit appears close to an actual picture of
the circuit. Most importantly, the pictorial shows how each of the parts are
connected to each other. The schematic shows the same kind of
information but uses symbols that are more easily reproduced. The
advantages of using a schematic are that-the symbols used to represent each
component can be standardized. The schematic symbols used to represent
some of the most common components and parts used in computer
systems.

 LOGIC DIAGRAMS
These are standard logic symbols used in computer schematics. The Truth
Table shows the output condition of a given logic circuit for all the possible
combinations of input conditions.

LOGIC GATE
Has the ability to produce a predictable output for a given set of input conditions.

 SHOCK HAZARD
Factors affecting shock hazard. The danger from a
shock depends on three factors:
1. The voltage of the source.
2. The current the source can produce.
3. The path the current takes through your body.

Precautions Against Shock
1. Your safety always comes first. Do the job safely, even if this
requires more time and trouble.
2. Always turn off the equipment and unplug it before you
begin to work.
3. If you have to make tests while the equipment is operating,
turn the equipment on, make your tests carefully, and then turn
the equipment off again.

4. Be especially careful when working with those parts of the
equipment that carry high voltage. In monitors, especially
the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), beware of the high voltage at
the picture tube and in the horizontal circuits.
5. Don’t work when you’re tired or rushed.
6. Try to do the work with one hand, while keeping your
other in your pocket. This “one-hand rule” reduces the
chance that a current will flow through the main part of your
body.

 MONITOR and TELEVISION SETS
A small monochrome (Black and White) monitor might
require 12,000 volts for this. On a larger color monitor, or a
color television, the voltage could be as high as 35,000 volts.

1. VOM (Voltohmmilliammeter) - A VOM is battery powered and is used
with the current turned off. It's used to check continuity in a wire or
component and to measure the electrical current -- from 0 to 250 volts, AC
(alternating current, as in houses) or DC (direct current, as in batteries) --
flowing through the wire or component.

2. DVM (Digital Voltmeter) - A digital voltmeter (DVM) measures an unknown
input voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value and then displays the
voltage in numeric form. DVMs are usually designed around a special type of
analog-to-digital converter called an integrating converter.

3. VTM (Vacuum Tube Voltmeter) - The voltmeter which uses the vacuum tube
for amplifying the measured AC and DC voltage is known as the vacuum tube
voltmeter (VTM). The vacuum tube increases the sensitivity of the voltmeter
because of which it can detect the signal of very weak strength.

4. Digital Logic Probes – can give more information on the signals flowing
through these circuits.

5. Logic pulser – you may set the pulser to inject signals at the inputs of a device,
and then read the resulting pulses at the outputs with the logic probes.

6. Current tracers – the current tracer or “short detector” can detect the tiny
amounts of current that pass through a circuit board trace without making direct
contact with the trace itself.

7. Electronic thermometers – when IC’s and transistors fail, they often become
unusually hot. Professionals sometimes use electronic thermometers to detect
parts which have failed.

8. Transistor tester – this type of tester allows you to make an in-circuit test, without
removing the transistors from the circuit board. The tester indicates whether the transistor is
working and it also allows you to measure the “gain” or output of the parts.

9. Oscilloscopes – an oscilloscope or “scope” can give you a picture of a changing
electronic signal. The scope shows the changing value of a signal over a certain time
period. When the signal has a higher voltage, the display line moves upward on the
screen. A lower signal voltage moves the line down. The display moves from left to
right to show the passage of time.

10. IC test clips – the test clip is designed to fit over the IC pins. You can then
make your test connections easily at the top of the clip. A test clip of this type
allows you to make an in-circuit test of an IC. Standard IC test clips (also called
“DIP Clips”) come in sizes to fit 14, 16, 20 and 40-pin ICs.

11. Soldering irons – IC’s and transistors can easily be destroyed by overheating. For
this reason, you must choose carefully when you select a soldering iron for use with
digital circuits. The iron should deliver a limited amount of heat, quickly and
efficiently. Even if an iron is under powered, or the tip of the iron is dirty, the iron will
still produce enough heat to melt solder.

12. Hot air rework station -With a hot air blower, electronic components are
easily desoldered from circuit boards and metal parts simply heated and deformed
without the use of a soldering iron. The hot air heats up the soldering joint, warms
the solder and detaches the components

13. Sponges – this is a soldering accessory that is never overlooked by the
experienced technician. Always keep a damp sponge rear your soldering
station, and wipe the tip of the hot iron frequently while you’re soldering.
This will keep the tip clean and shiny for maximum heat transfer.

14. Heat sinks - A heat sink is a component that increases the heat flow away
from a hot device. It accomplishes this task by increasing the device's working
surface area and the amount of low-temperature fluid that moves across its
enlarged surface area.

15. Solder-removal tools - A desoldering pump, colloquially known as a
solder sucker, is a manually-operated device which is used to remove solder
from a printed circuit board.

16. IC removers and inserters - An IC extractor is a tool for safely and
quickly removing integrated circuits (ICs) from their sockets. The main
purpose of using this tool is to avoid bending the socket pins and to avoid
damage through electrostatic discharge (ESD).

screws with slotted heads. For screws with one straight diametral slot cut
across the head, standard screwdrivers with flat blade tips and in a variety of
sizes are used.

21. Special wrenches - Wrenches are made in various shapes and sizes and
are used for gripping, fastening, turning, tightening and loosening things like
pipes, pipe fittings, and nuts and bolts. There are basically two major kinds of
wrenches: Pipe wrenches used in plumbing for gripping round (cylindrical)
things.

22. Dental mirrors - Mirrors reverse the direction of the image in an equal
yet opposite angle from which the light shines upon it. This allows the viewer
to see themselves or objects behind them, or even objects that are at an angle
from them but out of their field of view, such as around a corner.
