Communications equipment mechanic

Training as a communications equipment mechanic has not been possible since January 12, 1987. It has since been reorganized several times and was comparable to that of the electromechanical . The current successor professions are: Electronics technician for devices and systems and systems IT specialist . The BKZ of the Federal Employment Agency, which is still run today, is 3144 with a specialization from 01 to 04 at the end of the BKZ.

Activities and tasks

The work of a communications equipment mechanic primarily affects the field of electronics and entertainment electronics as well as telecommunications technology. The tasks include building the housing for special devices and wiring the components according to the circuit diagram. In addition to construction, maintenance and repair work, he also carries out functional tests. It can be used in both industrial production, electronic and communications components such. B. to radio relay systems or radio - or satellite transmission systems as well as in the craft z. B. install extensive car hi-fi systems or alarm reporting systems according to the circuit diagram.

Since the training content includes both metal, wood and plastic processing to measure as well as advanced metrological knowledge (handling the oscilloscope , calculating circuits for the use of operational amplifiers and independent error diagnosis, e.g. of signal systems ), communications equipment mechanics can be used in a variety of ways.

Access and training opportunities

As a rule, the entry requirement was a secondary school leaving certificate. Since the job was intended as the first stage in the three-part electromechanical training, further training to become an information electronics technician or technician or industrial foreman for electrical engineering followed on request .
