Enter and verify programs for fire protection systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to enter and verify programs for fire protection systems.

It includes programming fire protection systems that include multiple connected detection, warning and fire control devices and remote monitoring. It also includes working safely, using fire protection industry standards and protocols, entering system instructions, testing functionality of fire protection components and system operation, and documenting activities.

Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation.

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.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

apply sustainable energy principles and practices

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (WHS/OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures

correcting programming anomalies

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

entering functions and parameters correctly

identifying non-compliance conditions of device installation

performing program backups, version controls and documentation

testing and verifying device operation

understanding required operating functions and parameters.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

fire protection systems programming methods

input devices, including conventional alarm zones, analogue or analogue addressable fire detectors, flow switch connections or switch connections

logic times, including software programs that control the operation of non-latching detectors and timer periods before operation of fire system suppression systems

output devices, including shutdown signal, door or system release controls and solenoid valve controls

program backup, version control and documentation requirements

program loading methods and relevant information technology

program testing methods

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures

system interface controls, including verify signals to remote control and indicating equipment, building monitoring systems, paging system and colour graphics

system variables, including standard software functions that operate smoke detector controls, dual zone alarm configurations, alarm and fault global functions

vender programming codes and functions, including:

input/output (I/O) instructions

variables

timers

limitations of vender software.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in suitable simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to entering and verifying programs for fire protection systems

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Entering and verifying programs for fire protection systems must include at least the following:

two types of microprocessor fire protection control and indicating equipment with:

at least 50 input devices

at least 20 output devices

at least 1 system interface control

at least 2 logic timers

system variables

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.
