Trainees will –

• talk through and discuss what BMS is, where it is used and how it works.
• Discuss the most common items of plant that are controlled/monitored by a BMS
• be shown how to determine whether the cabling to above devices is ELV, LV, screened etc.
• be explained what the devices do, and for what purpose, and where they should be installed in the pipework, ductwork etc.
• be shown various control cables, how to strip and prepare them for termination
• be taught about pipework to understand how to identify the correct BMS device to connect

This session will be split between the classroom and the plant room. Trainees will have the opportunity to strip and prepare several cables that are used frequently in a BMS installation, including CAT5e, Belden and Def Standard

Trainees will-

• look through different panel drawings created for the plantroom downstairs.
• understand what is expected of them, as the installer
• Understand what a safety circuit is and how it works
• be taught to recognise which type of cable can be used for each control device
• be shown, and have the opportunity to open different accessories that would be wired on a BMS installation
• Open up the BMS panel downstairs to learn about the internal devices and connections
• Walk through many different devices on a BMS installation to understand what they do, and where they should be installed

This session will be split between the classroom and the plant room

Trainees will-

• be taught what an AHU is, how it works, and different variations of them
• be shown the most common devices that are fitted to an AHU
• understand the role of each device, and where it should be fitted
• be briefed on the most common abbreviations used in the BMS industry
• be expected to identify items in the plantroom, and give examples of cables that could be used to terminate them
• be able to explain where different devices should be installed throughout an installation, and in an AHU

This session will be split between the classroom and the plant room. Trainees will be able to open an AHU to help their understanding of them. Installed devices are able to be opened, examined, and re-terminated to allow them to learn.
