Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to use communication systems for on-track vehicle operations. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify system features
- 1.1 Available communication systems are identified
- 1.2 Features and control functions of each system are identified
- 1.3 Where relevant, battery and signal levels are monitored
- 1.4 Where relevant, channels are selected appropriate to the types of communication to be made
2 Communicate using communications technology
- 2.1 System checks are carried out to confirm communication system is operational in accordance with manufacturer instructions and organisational/network owner procedures
- 2.2 Communication system is operated safely in accordance with manufacturer instructions, workplace procedures and any regulatory requirements
- 2.3 Where relevant, channel selection is made appropriate for the location and type of communication
- 2.4 Appropriate protocols and procedures are followed when using communication systems
- 2.5 Received messages are interpreted and recorded, where required, in accordance with organisational/network owners procedures
3 Maintain communications equipment
- 3.1 Equipment is checked and maintained in working order in accordance with workplace procedures
- 3.2 Minor faults in communication systems are identified, diagnosed and repaired or reported in accordance with workplace procedures
4 Complete documentation
- 4.1 Appropriate records of communication are maintained in accordance with workplace procedures
