Description:
Maintains and completes accurate filing and updating of all operational records including, but not limited to: tickets, stream sheets, strip charts, batch comparison forms, inventory accounting, meter calibrations, operations manuals, emergency response manuals, trouble reports and policies and procedures. May include special safety audits, manual edits and procedure writing
Operates the basic electric/electronic test equipment (DC power supplies, milliamp calibrators, millivolt calibrators, multimeters, signal sources, function generators, oscilloscopes, decade boxes, Wheatstone bridges, impedance testers and frequency generators); calibration procedures for electric and electronic transmitters, controllers and control valve actuators; bench repair of various electric and electronic instruments and components (circuit boards, power supplies, relays, receiver and transmitter elements). Inspects and replaces power cords and distribution cables. Locates and replaces faulty resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, IC units and printed circuit (PC) boards. Uses appropriate test equipment, soldering techniques, wire wrap techniques, hand tools, component and wire identification documentation.
Recognizes and understands definitions and abbreviations used in electrical, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic instrumentation technologies.
Applies terms, definitions, and concepts from mechanics, electricity, heat and chemistry (Solutions may involve simple formulas for figuring flash point, specific gravity, and expansion rate.)
Reads schematics and wiring diagrams. Understands calibration sheets, instrument specification sheets and installation details. Recognizes standard symbols
Understands and recognizes electrical and electronic units of measurement such as volts, amps, watts, ohms, hertz, farads, etc.; basic components (batteries, voltage sources, current sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors and integrated circuits)
Applies the principles of pneumatics as used in industrial instrumentation. Understand the terminology (PSIG, PSIA, supply air, instrument air, signal); components (links, levers, flapper or baffle, nozzle, relay, vents, filters); and pneumatic circuitry
Understands current-voltage-resistance relationships in direct current circuits. Apply Ohm’s Law and current-voltage-impedance relationships in alternating current circuits
Understands basic trouble shooting methods for motors, contactors, transformers, relays, and lighting and cathodic protection. Recognizes power quality problems. Read and interpret wiring and ladder diagrams
Understands the types of pneumatic and electronic transmitters used in level measurement, the calibration of each and the test instruments used. Connect pneumatic and electronic level sensors and transducers for accurate calibration.
Installs and maintains truck loading, additive injection, and pipeline proving and control systems (where applicable)
Assists in emergency response activities as required
Assists with other required duties assigned
Performs Light vehicle maintenance
