- Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at cabling worksite
- Manage remote power feed
- Install and modify cable support, earthing and termination infrastructure
- Install fixings and cable support structures of adequate strength safely and align with the environment according to manufacturer’s and customer’s specifications
- Secure catenary supports to building structure and tension where necessary to ensure cable weight can be carried in operating conditions with interference and safety segregation maintained including adherence to AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Install protective earthing of metal work to industry standards where required
- Inspect installed support structure to ensure cable will not be exposed to damage during installation and general operation
- Position terminating equipment and fixing to accepted industry codes of practice, AS/ACIF S009:2006 and customer requirements
- Inspect control cubicles, travelling cable supports, junction boxes, line isolator units, back-mount and outlet layout complying to manufacturer’s specifications and allow adequate work space for ease of access and avoid overlaying
- Segregate incoming and outgoing cables to ensure ease of access and avoid overlaying
- Install cables and earth wires
- Install a lift cable from LD to lift car socket
- 4.2 Install cables according to manufacturer's application specifications including tension and bending stress requirements
- Identify and avoid sources of possible damage to cable including hot pipes, sharp edges and cable burn
- Allow sufficient excess at cable ends to facilitate termination
- Place and secure cable to maintain safety and interference segregation according to legislative and industry standards
- Install cable ties with correct tension to prevent cable sheath damage or transmission impairment and trimmed flush to prevent risk of personal damage
- Install aerial cables supported by catenaries in external environment to meet minimum above ground clearances and clearances from hazardous electrical services according to AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Install and secure travelling cables to maintain safety and according to relevant legislative, industry and manufacturer’s standards
- Install local isolation units (LIU) as required by TS001 and AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Install over-voltage protection devices to all cable pairs, where required, to suppress voltage surges, with the devices protectively earthed, and according to AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Protect earth wire insulation against damage with protective earths segregated according to relevant industry and legislative standards
- Terminate and test cables and earth wires
- Remove cable sheath to allow for correct termination length and without damage to underlying conductors and their insulation
- Install terminating modules according to manufacturer’s specifications ensuring cable pairs are neatly and sequentially fanned for termination
- Terminate conductors according to recommended colour code sequence using appropriate termination tools in the manufacturer’s specified manner
- Earth cable shield, if applicable, to manufacturer’s specifications and relevant industry codes of practice, including AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Undertake visual inspection to confirm termination colour code sequence has been followed, prior to end to end testing of wire and pair termination integrity
- Terminate earth wires with connectors recommended by manufacturer according to relevant industry codes of practice including AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Maintain earth wire continuity throughout to meet interface requirements with electrical systems
- Test earthing installation for continuity, insulation resistance and conductive resistance according to relevant industry standards including AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Confirm compatibility of alterations with existing systems and test new work both in isolation and when integrated with existing systems
- Inspect cable route to ensure correct separations
- Evaluate earthing needs for cable systems on customer premises
- Label earthing systems
- Create or update cable plans and records
- Document installation details on record sheets and plans and store according to customer requirements
- 9.2 Label cable pairs clearly to provide accurate identification according to manufacturer's, industry and client standards
- Record cabling details in cable pair record books to provide an accurate record according to industry codes of practice and AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Complete telecommunications cabling advice (TCA) form
- Monitor work activity
