II. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING LO 3.1 Prepare tools/equipment and materials needed for
COMPETENCIES (MELCs) the installation of telephone terminal cabinet in line with job requirement
III. CONTENT/CORE CONTENT Identify different tools used in installing telephone terminal cabinets.

IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: Day 1 40-60 minutes)

In this lesson the students are expected to identify different tools used in installing telephone terminal cabinets and how to properly use it.

The cabinet according to the Philippine Electrical Code must have doors and are thus distinguished from large boxes with covers consisting of plates
attached with screws and bolts. Generally, inside terminal rooms are preferred. This allows access to power to telephone equipment. Cabinets that
should be used must be approved by the authorities prior to installation. One isolated 20 Amp breaker circuit extended to the plywood backboard
inside the cabinet must be provided. All accesses have handles to accommodate a padlock.

Provisions of Installing Telephone Terminal Cabinet

The Cabinet, according to the Philippine Electrical Code must have doors and are thus distinguished from large boxes with covers consisting of plates
attached with screws and bolts.

The Philippine Electrical Code requires that all boxes used to enclose operating apparatus, i.e., Apparatus having moving parts or requiring inspection
or attention.

Telephone Terminal Wall Cabinet Specifications

1. Generally, inside terminal rooms are preferred. This allows access to power the telephone equipment. With the
engineering approval wall, Cabinets are acceptable for buildings less than 20,000 square feet with external mounted
SRP power cabinets. If power is provided in an inside terminal room, Saddleback will collocate with them.
2. Sun West Engineering, Inc. MPOP-09604808 cabinet is the only one approved by Saddleback Communications
engineering. Other cabinets may be used but must be approved prior to installation.
3. An area 8’ in front of the cabinet must be kept clear for technician access.
4. One isolated 20 Amp breaker circuit is extended to plywood backboard inside the cabinet to be provided.
5. One #6 insulated copper wire terminated at the main power service panel ground bus bar at one end and the other
end terminated on a suitable bus bar located on the left side of the cabinet near the splice compartment is to be
provided.
6. All accesses have handles to accommodate a padlock.
7. Two 4” conduits equipped with calibrated mule tape are provided for Saddleback Communications facilities. Both
enter on the left side of the cabinet. Point off feed locations will be provided by Saddleback Engineering.
8. A maximum of three foot radius 90 degree bends are allowed in each pulling section. DepEd. (n.d.). CBLM TLE EIM (7th. ed. ed.)

A. Make sure that you are familiar with the proper use of each tool and how to use each tool appropriately in a given task. Skilled use of tools and
equipment makes the job less difficult and ensures that tasks are performed properly and safely.
A. Below are some procedures in installing a telephone terminal cabinet. Write the tool/s or equipment needed for each procedure.

PROCEDURE TOOL TO BE USED

Determining the size of the workpiece

Installing mounting screws in the upper and lower flanges on the

right and left side of the cabinet.
Checking the vertical and horizontal alignment of the cabinet.
Connecting of conductor pipe lines

B. Demonstrate the proper use of at least 5 tools or material used in telephone terminal cabinet installation. Video yourself while doing this activity.
You can be creative on your video; you may insert sounds and effects as well as texts to emphasize important information.

⮚ Upload your video in your class Facebook page or directly send a message to your teacher.
⮚ The video must be at least 5 minutes.
⮚ Refer to the rubrics below.
F. Assimilation (Time Frame: Day 20-30mins)
For every job, there is the right tool. Make sure that you are familiar with the correct use of each tool and that the correct tool is used for the current
task. Skilled use of tools and equipment makes the job less difficult and ensures that tasks are performed properly and safely.
It is also important that we know the classification of each tool. Classification helps bring together similar devices and co ncepts, even when different
terms have been used to describe them.
A. Classify each tool according to their use.
