Pre-requisites
For a company to apply for extended data product warranty on a Clipsal Site the following must be completed:
- Completed “open cabler license” (industry training course with other training companies)
- Completed “structured cabling licence” (industry training course with other training companies)
- Completed the “Clipsal online twisted pairs course” (3 x 2 hour sessions online with VTI services for Clipsal SE) within the last 3 years
- Complete all testing and components according to the “Clipsal Quality Plan”
- Complete all testing using approved Fluke Tester (details provided in the VTI training sessions) and provide test results in original fluke testing file format, PDF copies for test results are not accepted.
VTI services have created a data software that analyses the Fluke data test file and checks all results for the integrity of data links test information.
Note:
Item 1 and 2 must have been completed prior to doing the twisted pairs course applying for a site warranty.
All data installers must be “industry qualified” prior to attending the Clipsal Twisted Pairs training.
A misconception with some installers is that our twisted pairs course is a data certification training, our course is an addendum to compliment existing data qualifications.
Item 3 (Clipsal / VTI twisted pairs course) details various topics relating to the Clipsal Quality plan that we have created, including what the attending installers need to do to meet our quality plan requirements for the extended warranty and which Fluke testers are accepted for site results testing.
Upon successful completion of the Clipsal twisted pairs course, attendees are given a clipsal quality plan that details all points required prior to applying for ‘clipsal data site warranty’.
