2600 - ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE FAMILY

This job family includes occupations involved in the installation, repair, overhaul, fabrication, tuning, alignment, modification, calibration, and testing of electronic equipment and related devices such as radio, radar, loran, sonar, television, and other communications equipment; industrial controls; fire control, flight/landing control, bombing-navigation, and other integrated systems; and electronic computer systems and equipment.

Throughout the following information, an asterisk (*) stands for series with a published standard and a double asterisk (**) stands for series with a published flysheet.

Occupations in this family are:

2602 Electronic Measurement Equipment Mechanic *

This occupation includes jobs involved in maintenance, repair, calibration, and certification of electronic test, measurement, and reference equipment used for precise measurement of a variety of electrical and electronic values, quantities, and relationships such as voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and inductance. This equipment is also used to maintain and assure the functional accuracy and operational precision of industrial, experimental, airborne, marine, and ground electronic systems and equipment. This work requires a working knowledge and practical application of electronic principles and the ability to perform precise measurement of electrical and electronic values, quantities, and relationships. The work also requires skill in performing such processes as troubleshooting, repairing, modifying, overhauling, testing, installing, and calibrating a variety of measurement equipment, instruments, and consoles.

2604 Electronics Mechanic *

This occupation includes jobs involved in the assembly, fabrication, overhaul, installation, maintenance, and repair of various fixed, semifixed, ground, airborne, and marine electronic equipment such as radar, radio, cryptographic, sonar, navigational aids, and related devices. This work requires a knowledge of the practical application of operating electronic principles, the ability to determine malfunctions, and the skill to perform proper maintenance and repairs to a variety of electronic equipment.

2606 Electronic Industrial Controls Mechanic *

This occupation includes jobs involved in the installation, troubleshooting, repair, and calibration of electronic controls and indicating and recording systems used on industrial machinery or engines, or in aircraft engine and similar test facilities. Characteristically, this work requires a knowledge of electronics theory and circuits as applicable to power, timing, motion control, indicating devices, program timing controls, and pulse and counting mechanisms, as well as a knowledge of industrial equipment operation and process control.

2608 Electronic Digital Computer Mechanic

This occupation includes jobs involved in the repair, troubleshooting, calibration, and testing of electronic digital computer systems and their components and peripheral devices when used for scientific engineering or administrative computation and recordkeeping; includes repairing and maintaining computer subsystems/components of integrated aircraft and weapons control systems where the work does not require considering the interaction of the items worked on with the total integrated system. The work requires knowledge of the operating electronic principles and mechanics of the computer and auxiliary components, understanding of computer logic, and ability to use a variety of electronic test equipment.

2610 Electronic Integrated Systems Mechanic *

This occupation includes jobs involved in rebuilding, overhauling, installing, troubleshooting, repairing, modifying, calibrating, aligning, and maintaining integrated electronics, i.e., where the output of a number of sensor subsystems is integrated in a logic subsystem and the resultant used to modify the operation of the total system. Examples are: fire control, flight/landing control, bombing-navigation, and electronic warfare or multiple integrated electronic systems composed of several of these systems that are closely interrelated and interdependent. This work requires knowledge of electronics principles involved in a number of applications such as radar, data processing, and data displays as well as mechanical and hydraulic knowledge involved in operation of equipment such as control valves, gyros, turrets and mounts, and mechanical computing devices.
