Provide solutions to extra-low voltage (ELV) electro-pneumatic control systems and drives

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide solutions to extra-low voltage (ELV) electro-pneumatic elements operating at ELV and variable speed drives.

It includes working safely, establishing required control functions, checking device installation, entering instruction into programmable devices, following workplace instruction and procedures and completing documentation.

Electrical connections referred to in this unit are confined to pre-assembled plug and socket sets. This unit does not cover competencies for installation and connection of electrical wiring.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.).

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, skills and knowledge described in this unit require a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

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

No other 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)
