Part 4 Lift Cabling Requirements

4.1 Description
Lift cabling work is defined in section 2.4 of the Rules and, in summary, is cabling work that is performed in relation to a lift. The customer cabling that is used connects to a cross connection point adjacent to the lift motor room and the lift control cubicle within the lift motor room. Lift cabling work may also include the installation of the travelling cable between the lift motor and the lift car.

Generally, this type of customer cabling is used to connect devices for telecommunications (phones), data for video, audio and alarms.

The range of application and critical cabling provider competency requirements for lift cabling work includes that specified for restricted cabling work; however the relevant information for restricted cabling work has not been duplicated below. Please refer to Part 2 for the relevant information.

Cabling work before the connection point adjacent to the lift motor room will require an open cabling provider registration.

     4.2 Key subject matter and practical experience areas for lift cabling work
Specified below are the subject matter and practical experience areas which a cabling provider must demonstrate basic knowledge of, or minimum competence in, to obtain a registration to perform lift cabling work.

Cabling environment:
       *   The lift machine/motor room; and
       *   The lift shaft including inside and outside the lift car and communications cabling of the lift travelling cables and connections.

Cable support systems:
       *   Conduit;
       *   Catenary wire;
       *   Simple cable tray runs;
       *   Open and closed ducts; and
       *   Travelling cable supports in accordance with the Wiring Rules.

Cable types:
       *   Copper twisted pair;
       *   Coaxial;
       *   Travelling cable flat and circular types complying with Australian Standards (eg. AS 1979:1993 Electric cables – Lifts – Flexible Travelling); and
       *   Data cabling within the condition of a lift registration.

Cable identification:
       *   Cable conductor identification codes
