schematics, including identifying schematic symbols, signal flow, and operation of the

components and system;

2. adjust and test limit switches, pressure switches, float switches, and electronic

proximity sensors;

3. use a multimeter to measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit to

verify system operation and power levels;

4. select, install, and test fuses and circuit breakers;

5. install and test electrical relay control components in a control system;

6. install and test electro-fluid power components and circuits;

7. troubleshoot a solenoid-operated fluid power relay control circuit;

8. test and replace transformers;
