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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to design a wiring system for premises | 1.1 Consult customer and visit worksite to determine immediate and future functional needs of the cabling system 1.2 Identify and document immediate and future location of cabling system customer interface elements, and seek confirmation from appropriate persons 1.3 Review technology used to deliver functional needs 1.4 Identify specific service provider requirements and requirements of applicable standards, codes and regulations |
2. Design a wiring system for premises | 2.1 Follow work health and safety (WHS) procedures when carrying out work 2.2 Transfer functional needs of customer to architectural plans 2.3 Determine size and location of home distributor, security system, carrier and carriage service facilities, antennas and switch boards 2.4 Identify cable pathways and cable support systems 2.5 Select appropriate cable types to meet functional needs 2.6 Develop cable identification method to aid installation |
3. Document cable wiring system design | 3.1 Document customer interface elements room by room 3.2 Document requirements for home distributor, security system, carrier and carriage service facilities, antennas and switch boards 3.3 Document testing and commissioning requirements 3.4 Specify user documentation required after completion of installation 3.5 Provide customer quote that includes a bill of materials and a project schedule |
Evidence of ability to:
capture customer functional needs for wiring system
apply industry standards, regulations and codes of practice when designing a wiring system for a customer
develop a detailed design in compliance with industry practices, including signal losses and/or expected measurements to be achieved at wall plates
document the design, including a bill of materials, schedule of work and associated costs and submit to customer.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify and describe cabling standards, regulations and codes applicable to cable design
determine building regulations that apply to installation of cabling systems
identify and describe codes of practice and Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) standards for home wiring
determine carrier network delivery systems used in single dwelling and multi-dwelling units for:
fibre
fixed wireless
satellite
twisted copper pair
subscription TV
evaluate cabling requirements of home technology applications taking into account:
the user needs including age and assisted living conditions
communications
digital home health
energy management
entertainment
intelligent light and power
security and safety
identify and describe testing and commissioning methods and determine performance requirements for home technologies
describe customer interface elements commonly considered when designing a wiring system
identify common service providers clients may specify
consider safety implications of the design for users
identify design parameters for cable selection and support system of a wiring system
identify documentation required when submitting a design to a customer.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications – Digital Reception Technology industry and include access to:
a contemporary dwelling design
a specification of a customer's functional requirements
current standards, codes of practice and regulations.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
