Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop integrated digital reception system applications, topologies, devices and capabilities, and system programming methods. The unit also covers the use of diagnostic tools and documentation of developed systems.The skills and knowledge described in this unit do not require a licence to practice in the workplace. Practice in the workplace and during training are subject to work health and safety (WHS) regulations and codes of practice.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare to develop an integrated system
- 1.1 Determine types and location of loads and control devices from project specifications and customer requirements
- 1.2 Determine number of control bus networks and current requirements from load calculations for devices on the system
- 1.3 Determine appropriate placement of system devices to optimise bus network power and load parameters, and to maintain system stability
- 1.4 Develop an integrated system to comply with regulator, safety and manufacturer requirements
- 1.5 Document take-off of the number of devices and accessories required for the system using manufacturer's title and ID for each
- 1.6 Download required programming and diagnostic tools to a compatible PC and check for correct operation and safety
2. Program integrated system devices
- 2.1 Follow WHS risk control measures and procedures
- 2.2 Apply correct modes of programming to develop integrated system according to manufacturer's programming software instructions
- 2.3 Follow manufacturer's instructions and recommendations when programming system devices to project requirements
- 2.4 Program the parameters for operation of loads to project requirements and within manufacturer's designated range
- 2.5 Save and back up the programmed system database according to manufacturer instructions
3. Load and test integrated system
- 3.1 Follow WHS risk control work measures and procedures
- 3.2 Transfer database of integrated system program to the network
- 3.3 Test all functions of the integrated system for compliance with project requirements and manufacturer specifications
- 3.4 Use diagnostic tools to locate system faults, defects and anomalies
- 3.5 Correct defects and anomalies to comply with project requirements and manufacturer specifications
- 3.6 Provide copy of documentation of integrated system at handover to customer
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.
Customer may include:
consultant
individual customer
project manager
site manager
site supervisor.
Handover to customer may include:
demonstrating functionality
providing appropriate literature
training customer on equipment use.
Customer may include:

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
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
implement WHS procedures and practices when developing an integrated system
apply sustainable energy principles and practices when developing an integrated system
determine the types and location of loads and control devices
use load calculations to correctly determine the number of network and current requirements
place system devices appropriately in the system scheme
check programming and diagnostic tools
apply appropriate modes of programming to develop the integrated system
follow manufacturer instructions and recommendations in programming devices and setting load operating parameters
develop an integrated system to comply with regulator, safety and project requirements
download program to network successfully
use diagnostic tools to locate and correct system defects, faults and anomalies
document and back up an integrated system during the following stages of the project:
at preparation
at programming
at completion.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
a typical contemporary dwelling into which a digital system will be developed
availability of all functional requirements of a modern home
access to contemporary digital equipment
access to all current standards, codes and regulations.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate installing a digital reception system
direct observation of the candidate conducting signal measurement and adjusting for optimal performance
oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess knowledge of complex digital reception systems
oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess knowledge of test methods and performance requirements.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTTEN4229B Design, install and configure a customer smart technology network.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
