Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes specialist work which is carried out independently within own area of responsibility.

This unit covers the process of installing wiring enclosures, cable support systems, cables and accessories in electrical systems of 36 volts or less and defines the standard required to: plan, design and carry out installation of wiring enclosures, cable support systems, cables and accessories in electrical systems of 36 volts or less; undertake checks that the system conforms to requirements and operates effectively; read labels and signage to differentiate between extra low voltage and other electrical systems; size cables and wires to suit calculated load; check and notify completed installation activities; follow enterprise OHS procedures and safely work with extra low voltage systems.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

testing equipment and procedures

OHS guidelines for installing extra low voltage wiring.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Types of low voltage wiring systems may include:

36 volts or less.

Applications include:

milking equipment systems such as pulsation systems

in irrigation systems between controllers and system components such as solenoid valves

in domestic garden lighting systems.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Installation is planned and prepared to ensure OHS policies and procedures are followed, and the work is appropriately sequenced according to requirements. 
Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others on the work site. 
Cables and wires are sized to suit calculated load. 
Wiring system components are checked against job requirements. 
Accessories are obtained according to established procedures and to comply with organisational and task requirements. 
Location in which specific items of accessories, apparatus and circuits are to be installed is determined from job requirements. 
Materials necessary to complete the work are obtained according to established procedures and checked against the job requirement. 
Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out the installation work are obtained, following established procedures they are checked for correct operation and safety. 
Preparatory work is checked to ensure that it complies with requirements and no unnecessary damage has occurred. 
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policies and procedures for installing electrical wiring systems are followed. 
Wiring systems are installed to meet requirements, without damage or distortion to the surrounding environment or services. 
Accessories are terminated and wires are connected as required to solenoids and controllers, according to manufacturer and enterprise requirements. 
Unplanned events or conditions are responded to using established procedures. 
Approval is obtained from appropriate personnel according to established procedures before any contingencies are implemented. 
On-going checks of the quality of the work are undertaken according to established procedures. 
Final checks are undertaken to ensure the installed wiring systems conforms to requirements.
