• Inspects meters, indicators, and gauges to detect abnormal fluctuations.
• Tests accuracy of flow meters, pressure gauges, temperature indicators, controllers, radiation counters or detectors, and other recording, indicating or controlling instruments to locate defective components in systems, using test equipment such as pressure gauges, mercury manometers, potentiometers, pulse and signal generators, oscilloscopes, transistor curve tracers, ammeters, voltmeters, and watt-meters.
• Traces out and tests electronic solid state and vacuum tube circuitry and components to locate defective parts in analog and digital, protection, or radiation monitoring systems, using test equipment, schematics, and maintenance manuals.
• Removes defective instruments from systems, decontaminates, disassembles, and cleans instruments, and replaces defective parts using hand tools.
• Reassembles instruments and re‑installs them in systems using hand tools.
• Lubricates instruments and replaces defective wiring and tubing.
• Calibrates readings on instruments according to standards and adjusts phasing to ensure accuracy of recording and indicating functions.
• Records calibrations, parts and components used, and inventory of parts on hand.
• Prepares schematic drawings, sketches and reports to reflect changes or alterations made in instruments.
• Observes and complies with all safety and project rules.
• Performs other duties as required.
