Document equipment installation requirements

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to document requirements for installing equipment in areas such as lighting, audio and vision for productions in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.

At this level, individuals are expected to use some discretion and judgement and they operate under broad supervision within an established framework of plans and procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare to document installation requirements

1.1 Discuss technical installation requirements with relevant personnel to determine types of working documents required

1.2 Clarify own level of responsibility in documenting equipment installation requirements

1.3 Check version control information on plans, drawings and specifications to ensure use of current documents

1.4 Analyse material and seek clarification on issues as required

1.5 Check plans and specifications for compliance with relevant regulatory requirements

2. Complete documentation

2.1 Calculate or estimate length and number of cable and multicore runs required

2.2 Refine accuracy of estimates by taking measurements in venues or on location as required

2.3 Calculate weight of each section of rigged equipment and check weight calculations against weight-bearing capacity of rigging points and support structures

2.4 Calculate power requirements, component loadings and perform other calculations relevant to the type of installation

2.5 Determine patching and routing requirements

3. Finalise documentation requirements

3.1 Bring calculations with unsatisfactory results or compliance concerns to attention of supervisor

3.2 Use calculations and estimates to prepare and submit working documents within agreed timeframes

3.3 Seek feedback on quality of working documents from relevant personnel and note areas for future improvement

Evidence of the ability to:

create working documents to support the installation of technical equipment in area of specialisation on at least two occasions

correctly interpret plans and specifications related to the installation of technical equipment when creating working documents

work collaboratively.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.

To complete the unit requirements the individual must:

describe the main features of plans and drawings used in the process of installing audio, lighting or vision system equipment

describe how scale measurements are used in plans

explain commonly used symbols and abbreviations found in plans, drawings and specifications related to the installation of technical equipment

explain how basic formulas apply when documenting equipment installation requirements.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to plans and specifications in relation to lighting, audio or vision system requirements.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
