Install mobile telecommunications in motor vehicles

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to fit radio transceivers and cellular mobile phone handsets with powered docking cradles and to install peripheral components such as external antenna, microphone, loudspeaker, mobile data terminals and global positioning systems (GPS) in domestic, commercial or industrial motor vehicles.

It applies to individuals working as installers and technicians who liaise with clients to determine all technical requirements and interpret all regulatory and legislative requirements appropriately.

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)

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes

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

1. Plan for installation of mobile telecommunications in motor vehicles

1.1 Obtain relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards and follow work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for given work

1.2 Obtain mobile telecommunications equipment and manufacturer's installation documentation

1.3 Determine critical automotive electrical systems that need to be considered during installation process to prevent any damage to vehicle system

1.4 Verify installation requirements from client and advise client of issues affecting performance

1.5 Obtain tools and test equipment required for safe work practices

2. Install mobile equipment

2.1 Attach primary mobile telecommunications equipment to vehicle using fixing and fastening hardware, clear of air bag deployment and according to client, vehicle and equipment manufacturer and WHS requirements

2.2 Wire primary mobile telecommunications equipment to vehicle electrical system using industry wiring practices without impacting on other electrical systems

2.3 Attach and wire peripheral mobile telecommunications equipment and components of installation to client’s and manufacturer's requirements

2.4 Replace any existing fittings or vehicle components removed during installation and restore to original condition

2.5 Test completed installation to verify that operation of critical automotive electrical systems have not been affected, and rectify if required

3. Complete installation

3.1 Restore vehicle and worksite to client's satisfaction by disposing of waste materials according to environmental requirements

3.2 Note and document any damage that may have occurred during installation and report according to enterprise procedures

3.3 Instruct client on operation of installed equipment

3.4 Complete all administrative tasks and file according to enterprise requirements

Evidence of the ability to:

obtain installation parameters and compliance requirements in preparation for installation

install cable loom, wiring mobile and peripheral equipment

test the equipment to verify correct installation and operation.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline customer service principles, particularly dealing with clients face to face

discuss electrical fundamentals

summarise electromagnetic radiation (EMR)

discuss enterprise or service-specific knowledge of products and services supplied

outline objectives and methods of training for product use for client education

summarise work health and safety (WHS) principles and enterprise-specific job safety analysis (JSA) requirements

provide an overview of mobile radio and cellular radio product range and connection methods

summarise pre-installation enterprise-specific requirements

explain the following aspects of radio frequency (RF):

principles

safety

theory

explain return path technology

discuss telephony principles to support return path awareness

summarise test set ups for final testing

outline vehicle electrical, electronics and computer-managed systems.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – radio frequency networks field of work and include access to:

vehicles and sites at which installation may be conducted

testing equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
