Must be a Starlink Mini (NOT a fixed location unit like a Gen 3 for example)

Power supply is either:

- AC Battery/Inverter unit (you may already have this for charging tools). This is the preferred option, simpler to charge on that mobile AC supply.

OR

- DC power bank meeting Starlink specifications + The USB-C to Barrel Jack Cable Accessory specifically for Starlink Mini. Power bank specifications: PD source with a minimum rating of 100W, 20V/5A (please note that Starlink Mini will not work with USB PD ratings of 65W or lower).

Coconut Wireless (Pradeep) stocks Starlink Minis and accessories: 997 9749 info@coconutwireless.technology. Pradeep, with commission the unit for you and do brief necessary training (including pausing the account when not in use to save you money). We highly recommend.

In 'Comms' '+ Add New' entry and select Update:

1. Subject or Brief Message: Enter just one or two sentences to share progress that day, for example, arrived at site or Q1 and Q2 wired or array completed, etc.
PURPOSE: keeps QC inspector and ITF up to date with the project.

2. Notes, Email Text or Image Description: Brief description of the image or video, as if you were doing a very short social media post.
3. Document or Image: Upload one image or video of the work or of general interest.
PURPOSE of points 2. and 3. Occasionally, these will be posted on ITF social media for the public and more importantly funders to see (Note, one of our funders is keen to see these type of posts - the funder is high potential for future funding - that means more work for you - so image uploading may prove more important than it seems).

WHAT TYPE OF IMAGES? For example, unloading equipment on arrival, trenching, a staff installing a sub board (include a smile :-), carrying a solar panel, installing a battery or inverter, a staff group shot when completed, perhaps a 20 second video of the head of school - 'how do you feel about the project', a quick video from your staff lead about the job complete, even an occasional sunrise or sunset. You get the idea! Whatever you think would be a good quick social media post that a funder would like to see, general and progress. Just one per day in the daily update (of course you can do a couple of updates in the day if things of interest you may wish to add).

REPORTING:
Add comment "Acknowledged" and make QC-Ready. BUT BE SURE TO DO IT DAILY.

INSPECTOR:

Waste is an important issue for ITF and where possible we avoid adding to the waste load in the communities. The policy for removal of existing small solar is evolving with stakeholders. At present the policy is as follows. Should there be any changes that make a material difference to your costs we agree on a contract variation.

Removal of small solar system equipment (panels, PCE, batteries etc) is the responsibility of the solar contractors.

Unless otherwise instructed (please check individual school instructions in the exhibits):

IF the old system/s has failed:

Disconnect the system and leave in a safe state.
Remove all wiring, switches, GPOs and sub boards. Includes removing wiring to/from PCE at point of entry/exit; and remove wiring to the panels (leave panel cables intact for reuse). This will make your wiring work easier and neater. Leave the panels, PCE and batteries in place.

In quarters:
IF the small system is functioning (providing reliable power for at least the day time), leave wiring in place and add new wiring beside it (solar contractors will remove the solar later).
IF a system has clearly failed remove wiring and PCE and leave in appropriate place agreed with school for removal by solar contractors.

In classrooms and other school buildings: Remove all the old wiring. Assure teachers that reliable 24 hour power will be connected soon.

In the office or staff rooms: If the small solar is viable and being used, leave the wiring in place and install new beside it.

Should there be disputes - contact ITF office.manager@itstime.org.au and we will resolve with the school.

REPORTING:
Add brief accurate notes for each building for example: Q1: cables and PCE removed; Hostel 2: system is delivering good power so left in place; etc
NOTE - please be accurate - there will be random physical site checks by inspectors to confirm details provided in all QC items. less

Waste is an important issue for ITF and where possible we avoid adding to the waste load in the communities - as much as is practical waste will be removed from site for reuse, recycling or best practice disposal. Note - paper and cardboard waste can be burned at the site, other waste to come off the site.

REPORTING:
At the completion of the job please indicate the number of the following removed from site. (No need to exact measure the meters of cable removed, but a reasonable estimate is required):
- Light fittings
- GPOs and switches
- Main boards and sub boards
- Pillar boxes
- Approximate total length (m) of cable removed (get a close estimate without laying out the cable and exactly measuring it)
The following are usually the responsibility of the solar contractor, but enter if needed:
- Number of batteries (excluding small device batteries)
- Approximate kgs of batteries
- Solar panels
- PCE units
Any revenue from reuse or recycled material is retained by the contractor - this does not require reporting.

Indicate where the waste is to be recycled or disposed of.
Upload images of the waste piles.
Upload an image of loaded waste leaving the island. less

1. All electrical wiring works have been verified and tested in accordance with section 8 of AS/NZS 3000.
2. A visual inspection has been done once work on general electrical installation was completed. As a minimum, the following visual checks have been done: visual inspection of all equipment installed at site, protection devices installed properly, pillar boxes installed properly, wiring system mechanical protection installed (where required), adequate support and fixing of the wiring system, no wiring or insulation damages, all connections properly terminated, no loose or hanging cables, conduits properly glued, weather-sealing (using sealants), verification of cables sizes to meet CCC and voltage drop requirements, earthing system checks (proper earthing, MEN connection, earth clip, etc), proper labelling done on sub-board and sub-circuits, etc.
3. The following tests have been done:
a. Continuity of the earthing system (measure earth resistance of the main earthing conductor, protective earthing conductors and bonding conductors)
b. Insulation resistance testing of circuits if testing equipment available on-site (testing at 500V DC and insulation resistance shall be greater than 1M ohm)
c. Polarity test (testing that active conductor connects active terminal, neutral conductor connects neutral terminal and earth conductor connects earth terminal).
d. Operation of RCDs/ELCBs - energise the the circuits with a generator (It is preferable the contractor brings a generator - if not use the school generator or otherwise supplied by the community at your arrangement with the school).
e. Using the generator, test all installed equipment.

Reporting:
Upload an image of checking continuity of the earthing system.
Upload Images/video of checks conducted. less

When the Main Board is installed we will adhere it the bottom right of the cabinet and provide you with an image (because it is likely that the Main Board will not be installed until after general electrical contractor has moved on).

If the main board is not yet in place, you may place it in an appropriate place in the PCE room.

No stickers are to be put on inverters or batteries (ITF will put large stickers there indicating contact, maintenance procedures and detailed instructions of the school's responsibilities to care for the system).
Note you are welcome to share the story on social media etc. but you must mention it is an Its Time Foundation and you are a chosen delivery partner.

1. Wiring to be laid underground based on the dimensions specified in Table 3.6 (AS/NZS 3000). If poured concrete of 75 mm on top then minimum 300mm depth of cover, if no surface covering then minimum 500mm depth of cover.
2. Wiring systems installed underground shall be identified by an orange marker tape (at approximately 50% of the depth of cover above the wiring system)
3. Wiring to be laid in heavy duty underground conduit (Cat A) or if medium duty conduit is used then mechanical protection is required on top of conduit (Cat B). Laying insulated and sheathed cables directly in the ground is not permitted.
4.The conduits joints to be properly glued to restrict any water entry into wiring.
5. Caution tape laid 200mm below the surface.
6. Underground cables rising vertically up to the building has been installed in medium duty conduit (UV stabilised) with an additional mechanical protection. Mechanical protection is either: square section steel cable cover OR 32mm x 1.5mm galvanised pipe - the first 100mm of the pipe should be in the ground, then 1700mm above ground, with 2 saddles to the wall.

NOTE: Trench Depth: Where standard depths (500mm with no surface covering or 300mm with 75mm concrete) cannot be achieved due to bedrock or reality of providing concrete, a minimum cover depth of 300mm will be acceptable provided the polymeric cable cover is used. Contractors to carry a 25m roll to site as contingency and kept for future job when not used. If larger need required, consult the QC inspector. When used upload image of polymeric cover and caution tape.

REPORTING:
Report this to QC-Ready when all reticulation is completed.
Add to comments: 'All works meet the listed requirements'.
Upload an image to show type of conduit used at the site (conduit markings shown).
Upload images of two of the trenches to show caution tape laid 200mm below the surface .
IF ideal depth was not achieved, provide detailed notes about the works required, including locations on a site sketch were depths was not achieved - take a picture of the sketch and upload it.

NOTE: random site inspections will sample check the above requirements. less

In locations where the ground prohibits penetrating earth electrodes to a depth of 1.2m, an alternative copper strip electrode method is to be installed. This method uses 25mm sq bare copper cable buried in a horizontal trench laid at a depth of 0.3-0.5m cover with a minimum horizontal length of 3m.

Contractors will need to modest provision some cable stock (most often not used and kept for future works)

REPORTING:
Upload images of each earthing system of the strip installation with depth shown (measuring tape in shot).
Upload of continuity test results for each earthing system.
Add comments describing the alternative method (strip) used.

All equipment will have entries under Section Name filter: 'Equip Specs' has links to datasheets, installation manuals etc. and where appropriate supplier's links to video demonstrations. Make to N/A those items not relevant to this project, otherwise keep as To Do until that component of the works is complete and then make to QC-Ready noting any variations for the installation guides.

REPORTING:
'Acknowledged' and change to QC-ready less

WARNING: Only upload genuine images of the actually item of work.
Inspectors will be alert to the reuse of images (cheating) from previous installations or buildings other than the one you are working on. Deliberately using incorrect images will comprise current contracts and future business opportunities for your organisation.

REPORTING
"Acknowledged" in the comments. less

It is probable that through the delivery of the project there will be changes to contacts at the school.

REPORTING:
Enter any changed contacts at the school (names, phone and emails) in the comments section. AND email a copy with school name to office.manager@itstime.org.au
IF no changes enter: "No Change to listed contacts" less

Read the Exhibit carefully. Some site specific items may not be covered in this standard QC items.

Put this item on Hold and as the job progresses add images and notes as needed until all requirements on the Exhibit are completed. Then make to QC-Ready.

REPORTING:
Uploading images, video and comments as needed so it is make it clear to the inspector that all additional or non-standard works are completed. less
