ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1

Prepare to enter operating instructions

1.1

Work supervisor and/or customers are consulted to determine functions of the device and relevant parameter/s

1.2

Tools, equipment and testing devices required to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety

1.3

Device installation is checked in accordance with job specifications and relevant industry standards

2

Enter operating instructions

2.1

Status of relevant function of the device is entered and parameters set in accordance with manufacturer specifications

2.2

Entered data is checked in accordance with workplace procedures and job specifications

2.3

Workplace procedures for referring unplanned events to supervisor for directions are followed

3

Test device operation and report

3.1

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:

correcting programming anomalies

dealing with unplanned events

entering functions and parameters correctly

entering operating instructions

identifying operating anomalies of device installation

identifying required operating functions and parameters

obtaining and checking tools, equipment and testing devices required to carry out work

preparing to enter operating instructions

verifying device operation

testing device operation and completing reports.

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:

operating principles at sub-system level

programming functions

relevant device functions and parameters

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant tools, equipment and testing devices

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures.

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 simulated suitable 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, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to setting up the wireless capabilities of communications and data storage devices

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

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

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 operating instructions must include at least two types of microprocessor equipped devices with built-in icon-based programmable functions of the following:
