Install, maintain and modify customer premises communications cabling: ACMA Restricted Rule

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Work within the constraints imposed by customer premises and ACMA regulatory environment

1.1. Prepare for restricted cabling work within the regulatory environment, cabling environment, cable type, cable identification, termination systems, earthing and protection, records and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards

1.2. Identify building infrastructure which places critical constraints on cabling

1.3. Develop strategies to manage other infrastructure in relation to cabling

1.4. Notify appropriate personnel of safety hazards at the cabling work site

2. Manage remote power feed

2.1. Identify and avoid the risks posed by contact with remote power feeding services when performing cabling activity

2.2. Make site safe by identifying remote power feeding services which operate at above telecommunications network voltage (TNV) inside customer premises

3. Install cables and protective earth wires

3.1. Install cables according to manufacturer's application specifications, including tension and bending stress requirements

3.2. Identify and avoid sources of possible damage to cable, including hot pipes, sharp edges and cable burn

3.3. Allow sufficient excess at cable ends to facilitate termination

3.4. Place and secure cable to maintain safety and interference segregation according to legislative and industry standards

3.5. Install cable ties with correct tension to prevent cable sheath damage or transmission impairment and trimmed flush to prevent risk of personal damage

3.6. Install underground cables to minimum depth of cover and segregation from hazardous electrical and other services according to AS/ACIF S009:200

3.7. Install underground cables excluding blown fibre tube systems to incorporate a blocking agent within the cable to prevent the ingress of water

3.8. Install aerial cables to minimum clearance, segregation from hazardous electrical and other services and minimum height requirements according to AS/ACIF S009:2006

3.9. Install over-voltage protection devices according to AS/ACIF S009:2006 to all cable pairs, where required, to suppress voltage surges and protect from earth potential rise (EPR) hazards and protectively earth the devices

3.10. Protect earth wire insulation against damage and segregate protective earths according to relevant legislative and industry standards

4. Terminate and test cables and earth wires

4.1. Remove cable sheath to allow for correct termination length and without damage to underlying conductors and their insulation

4.2. Install NTD terminating modules according to manufacturer's specifications and cable pairs neatly and sequentially fanned for termination

4.3. Terminate conductors according to recommended colour code sequence using appropriate termination tools in the manufacturer's specified manner

4.4. Earth cable shield, if applicable, to manufacturer's specifications, relevant industry codes of practice and AS/ACIF S009:2006

4.5. Conduct visual inspection to confirm termination colour code sequence has been followed prior to end-to-end testing of wire and pair termination integrity

4.6. Terminate earth wires with connectors recommended by manufacturers according to accepted industry codes of practice and AS/ACIF S009:2006

4.7. Maintain earth wire continuity throughout and observe interface requirements with electrical systems

4.8. Test earthing installation for continuity, insulation resistance and conductive resistance according to accepted industry standards including AS/ACIF S009:2006

4.9. Confirm compatibility of alterations with existing systems and test new work both in isolation and when integrated with existing systems

5. Inspect cable route to ensure correct separations

5.1. Inspect separations along the entirety of the cable route and rectify separations which do not comply with regulations

5.2. Install barriers to achieve separations where sufficient spatial separation cannot be met

6. Create records

6.1. Provide the client with a job sign-off, telecommunications cabling advice form, at the completion of each cabling task

6.2. Complete NTD record cards for the work undertaken

7. Monitor work activity

7.1. Supervise cablers not holding appropriate registration for the task to ensure cabling activity is according to legislative requirements for safety and network integrity including AS/ACIF S008:2006 and AS/ACIF S009:2006
