Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare installation site
   • Site features are checked using appropriate measuring equipment.
   • Non-compliance with specification is reported to appropriate authority.
   • Modifications are undertaken with approval of appropriate authority.
   • Installation site and components are prepared.
2. Install marine engines/plant
   • All work is carried out safely, in accordance with site procedures and relevant Australian standards.
   • Engine/plant components and ancillary equipment are prepared for correct sequential installation.
   • Engine/plant is installed in accordance with manufacturer's site specifications.
   • Engine/plant is checked for conformance to specifications, and modifications/adjustments are undertaken to standard operating procedure.
   • Engine/plant is installed in accordance with specifications.
   • Site conditions are finalised in accordance with OHS requirements and standard procedures.
   • Documentation is completed to required specifications.
3. Test engine/plant systems and ancillary equipment
   • Work/test requirements for engine/plant and ancillary equipment are identified.
   • Engine/plant and ancillary equipment is tested for correct operation using instruments appropriate to the testing task.
   • Operational function is assessed and verified.
4. Collect data and localise fault conditions
   • Drawings/diagrams and operational specifications are used to identify and localise fault conditions.
   • Built-in fault indicators and error codes are examined and interpreted, and results are recorded to standard procedures.
   • Fault condition is localised to major component level.
5. Analyse and report test results
   • Test results are analysed/verified against operational specifications and localised faults are confirmed.
   • Potential and actual faults are reported according to standard procedures.
   • Corrective action is planned.
   • Action plan is recorded/documented.

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to install marine systems Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with installing marine systems or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Engine/plant components and ancillary equipment	Stabilisers may include electric, hydraulic or mechanically operated fin and/or tab types Steering systems may include hydraulic, cable and wire-operated units Fuel systems may include petrol and diesel supply operations
Instruments	Mechanical, pneumatic/electro-pneumatic, electronic (analog/digital) and associated instruments that measure variables such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, levels, lights, density or any other operational variable
