Introduction to Intermediate Course
• Intermediate has more frequencies.
• Note the exceptions on power limits, and geography
• Some are ERP limited freqs
• Not all are 50W
• Provided in the exam, remember to use it.

Safety
• Soldering
Keep soldering iron in stand to avoid contact with skin when not in use.
Make sure soldering is done in well ventilated areas. Avoid breathing infumes as they can cause breathing problems particularly to asthmatics.
Eye protection MUST be worn to avoid solder splashing into your eyes.
![Page 8: Intermediate Course 23/08/2014. This week.. Introduction to Intermediate Course Safety Soldering Construction of Simple DC Circuit.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bc252550346af588b4ba6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Safety
• Use of hand tools.
Work in tidy area, away from body to avoid injury.
Handle tools with care. They can cut face or hands if used incorrectly.
Secure any items if you are to saw, drill or file them. Items can spin when drilled orslip/move while being worked on which can cause injury.
When using a drill ensure the chuck key is removed before using it, else it may fly off!
![Page 9: Intermediate Course 23/08/2014. This week.. Introduction to Intermediate Course Safety Soldering Construction of Simple DC Circuit.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bc252550346af588b4ba6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Safety
• Use of hand tools. Cont…
When drilling protective eye wear MUST be worn to avoid swarf from hitting your eyes.
Use a centre punch when drilling to help prevent the drill slipping when making the hole.
Bench mounted drills are safer to use than hand drills due to them, allows you to keepHands well away from danger area. Also gives more control. (Still need to wear eyewearAnd remove chuck).

Safety
• Working at heights
When working from ladders you MUST have a ratio of 1:4. Example. Ladder in image is 1m away from the wall and 4m high.
Make sure when using a ladder that it is;1. Secured at the top or held by an adult at the bottom to avoid slipping2. Do not over reach, you don’t want to fall off.3. Hard hats should be worn when working at height or around others working at height4. If you are going to need tools while working at height its best to wear a tool belt or another tool carrying device. Also prevents objects falling.

Safety
• ElectricityTake note of overhead cables when using ladders and putting up antennas. Eithercan either cause arcing or come into contact with cables and will result in a dangerous shock
Use the correct fuse. Remember Current = Power / Volts, where Volts is 230v. Example 120watt PSU – 120/230 = 0.5 Amps
Residual Current Devices (RCD) gives you better protection then just using conventional fuses.RCDs will detect currents to earth of about 30mA where as a fuse will only blow at several ampsAnd only when there is a short circuit. (Live to Neutral or Live to Earth)
Remember if you are to work on equipment which has large or high voltage capacitors you need to dischargeThem first, as they can store dangerous electric charges.

Safety
• RF
The main health effect of exposure to electromagnetic radiation is heating of body tissue.
Guidance on safe levels of RF radiation is available from government and international bodies (HPA – Health Protection Agency and ICNIRP- International Committee on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection)
DO NOT look down a microwave frequency waveguide or to stand close to or in front of high-gain antennas as they may be in use. Your eyes are vulnerable to heating. The focus of the waveguideOf a microwave enhances the heating effect to a smaller area of the body.

Soldering• What is soldering?
Soldering is a method of joining metal wires and components using a hot soldering iron to melt the solder
Solder contains flux which is to help the solder flow and to prevent a layerOf oxide forming on the areas being joined.
Not all metals are easy to solder. Tin, copper, and brass solder well, whereAs aluminium and stainless steel require special techniques. This usually willNot be a problem when building circuits or soldering PL259s for example.
You should always keep the soldering iron tip clean. This is to remove oxide.To prevent oxide and to help the heat conduction, the iron tip should be“tinned”. This is why you should tin wires before soldering them onto connections.
![Page 14: Intermediate Course 23/08/2014. This week.. Introduction to Intermediate Course Safety Soldering Construction of Simple DC Circuit.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bc252550346af588b4ba6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SolderingWhen making solder joints they should be made reasonable quickly to avoid damage to components. Leaving the iron on the joint too long can cause “cold/dry” solder joints.
