Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to develop an electrical integrated system
   • Types and locations of loads and control devices are determined from project specifications and customer requirements
2. Number of control bus networks and current requirements are determined from load calculations for devices
3. Appropriate placement of system devices in system scheme is determined from bus network power and load parameters whilst maintaining system stability
4. Integrated system is developed to comply with regulator safety and manufacturer specifications
5. Number of devices and accessories required for the system is documented using manufacturer title and identification (ID) for each component
6. Relevant programming and diagnostic tools are downloaded to compatible computer and checked for accurate operation and safety
7. Program integrated system devices
   • Hazards are identified, risks assessed and control measures implemented
8. Modes of programming are applied to developing the electrical integrated system in accordance with manufacturer and programming software instructions
9. Manufacturer instructions and recommendations are followed when programming system devices to project specifications
10. Parameters for operation of loads are programmed to project specifications within manufacturer designated range
11. Programmed system database is saved and backed up in accordance with manufacturer instructions
12. Load and test electrical integrated system
    • Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
13. Database of integrated system programs are transferred to the network in accordance with workplace procedures
