Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 2.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of ability to:

  • Comply with standards, regulations and work health and safety (WHS) procedures and practices when developing an integrated system
  • communicate with customers
  • determine the full scope of specifications for an integrated digital reception system
  • use calculations to correctly determine the number of network and current requirements
  • place system devices appropriately in system scheme
  • apply and check appropriate modes of programming and diagnostic tools in the design
  • program devices and set load operating parameters according to manufacturer specifications
  • use diagnostic tools to locate and correct system defects, faults and anomalies
  • document and backup system during appropriate stages of the project.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • describe the applications and advantages of integrated systems
  • identify the bus system cable type, polarity, length and acceptable topologies
  • describe the process of controlling digital system integration (DSI) and communicating with digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) electronic ballasts
  • identify factors that affect control bus stability, including number of units on a network, and current drawn by devices in relation to current output of power supplies
  • define the operating parameters of integrated systems and programming to an extent indicated by:
  • importance of project documentation and backup
  • importance of location of output and input devices and control bus power supplies
  • describe lighting dimmer capabilities and selection
  • determine the low voltage (LV) supply overcurrent and surge protection
  • describe multiple network connectivity
  • identify the software used for system and device programming, monitoring and control
  • explain system and device programming, encompassing:
  • addressing conventions for networks, devices, applications, output groups, types of control and outputs, which include ‘on’, ‘off’, a specific level, and over a specific time
  • PC programming tools and methods (programming includes configuring network database using addressing tools and objects, function objects, editing, altering and transferring the database to network)
  • identify and describe system fault-finding processes
  • determine the system components, encompassing:
