Task B-10 Installs and services multiple variable computing devices

Task Descriptor

Instrumentation and control technicians must be able to install, maintain, diagnose and repair multiple variable computing devices to provide accurate measurements where a higher degree of accuracy is required.

Multiple variable computing devices are stand-alone systems or are integral to measuring devices, SCADA and control systems. They bring in multiple inputs and use these to perform calculations that compensate for variables such as temperature and pressure when calculating flow or level. There are some devices including flow computers that have many configuration parameters such as product composition and primary flow element specifications.
