---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit covers preparing for the termination and connection of specialist cables. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to the connection of specialist cables including, but not confined to:mineral insulate cables (MIMS)steel wire armoured cables (SWA) other sheathed cables such as piloted cables, composite screened cables, braided cablescable installations requiring specialised glands, fittings and enclosuresTermination and connection requires particular techniques, and, in some cases testing. All testing is undertaken on completed circuits where not connected to main supply using appropriate methods e.g. continuity and resistance checks. Special fittings must be used for each type of specialist cable. Cables may require the use of bending tools and techniques which do not cause damage. Compounds such as resins may be required for sealing purposes. Most types of specialist cables are designed to either exclude or minimise the ingress of gas or liquids, or to minimise the danger of flash.For termination and connection of signal and data cables, Unit MEM18063B (Terminate signal and data cables) should be selected.For termination and connection of standard electrical wiring/cable, refer to Unit MEM10002B (Terminate and connect electrical wiring)Band: AUnit Weight: 3 | ||

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
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 terminate and connect specialist cables including, but not confined to: mineral insulate cables (MIMS); steel wire armoured cables (SWA); other sheathed cables such as piloted cables; composite screened cables, braided cables; and cable installations requiring specialised glands, fittings and enclosures. 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 terminating and connecting specialist cables 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, supervisor's 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. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: checking cables and materials for condition and conformance to specifications obtaining and interpreting appropriate documentation making terminations/connections to specification, manufacturer and regulatory requirements testing cabling, connections and terminations marking, tagging and labelling cables, wires, conductors and connections entering information onto documentation related to termination and connection of specialist cables applying measurement skills needed to meet the requirements of this unit |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: work site procedures and relevant statutory requirements safety hazards associated with the termination and connection of cables, and the work environment statutory requirements associated with the termination and connection of specialist cables specifications for specialist cables and materials requirements for approval to work wiring support and/or protection requirements specifications of wiring support and/or protection requirements applicable statutory requirements reading and interpreting relevant drawings, instructions and reference documents manufacturer requirements testing methods for specialist cables including continuity and resistance testing marking, tagging and labelling requirements for cables, wires, conductors and connections data to be recorded/reported and the frequency of recording/reporting. the impact of the site and location variables may have on termination and connection use and application of personal protective equipment |
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. | |
Documentation | Short record of termination or test results |
Tested | Continuity and resistance testing |
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.
