CPPSEC3025 Diagnose faults in advanced technology security equipment and systems

Modification History

Release 1	This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 9.0. Supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSEC2025A Sell security products and services. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to diagnose faults in security equipment and systems that employ advanced technologies including biometrics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, smart technologies and video integration. It includes applying methodical diagnostic procedures, testing suspected fault scenarios, and assessing test results, historical information and operational data to diagnose faults and recommend options for rectification. This work applies in extra low voltage environments as defined in Australian Standard AS/NZS 2201.1:2007 Intruder alarm systems – Client’s premises – Design, installation, commissioning and maintenance (AS/NZS 2201).

A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without close supervision.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to advising on, supplying, installing, maintaining, monitoring, repairing and servicing security equipment in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe what needs to be done to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1	Prepare to diagnose advanced technology security equipment and system faults.	1.1	Review work instructions to confirm client requirements and diagnostic timeframes.
1.2	Review AS/NZS 2201 to understand regulatory requirements associated with diagnosing security equipment and system faults and apply to work instructions.
1.3	Use questioning and active listening to gather information on type of security equipment and system, technologies involved and extent of fault.
1.4	Review and follow workplace policies and procedures including work health and safety when carrying out work tasks.
2	Plan and organise work tasks.	2.1	Plan and prioritise work tasks allowing sufficient time to meet work instructions.
2.2	Select and organise required materials, tools and equipment including personal protective equipment and check for safe and correct operation.
2.3	Arrange access to security equipment and system in consultation with relevant persons.
2.4	Identify hazards in the work area and apply risk control measures.
3	Conduct advanced technology security equipment and system testing and diagnostic procedures.	3.1	Use safe work practices when working with electronic equipment and cables according to WHS requirements.
3.2	Isolate security equipment and system according to workplace requirements.
3.3	Confirm normal performance of advanced technology security equipment and system against specification schedules.
3.4	Inspect and check advanced technology security system components and test operation according to manufacturers’ instructions.
3.5	Methodically apply diagnostic methods using measurements and estimations of system operating parameters.
3.6	Check and test configurations and connections for equipment and system technologies following manufacturers’ instructions.
3.7	Test suspected fault scenarios to identify source of system problems.
3.8	Assess test data, site variables, operational and historical information to support fault diagnosis.
3.9	Diagnose fault or seek assistance from relevant persons to meet work instructions.
4	Recommend options for fault rectification and complete documentation.	4.1	Document diagnosed faults and options for fault rectification that are supported by verifiable data according to workplace and regulatory requirements.
4.2	Check tools and equipment for faults, wear or damage and rectify or report problems.
4.3	Clean and restore work area and remove waste caused by work tasks.
