This award-winning, electrical training program builds on the Basic Techniques program. Here, you will troubleshoot a complex control circuit consisting of numerous relays, switches, lights, and solenoids. You will need to use elementary wiring and connection wiring diagrams to troubleshoot 28 faults of varying difficulty. The program contains sections to describe how the circuit works as well as how to use the troubleshooting tools. The program evaluates the time and money spent to solve the fault, gneerates a score, and records all the steps performed to solve the fault. This can be used for later analysis of your troubleshooting approach.

Features

  • Highly realistic simulation - The simulation behaves as the real circuit would. You can remove wires, operate any controls, and the circuit will behave appropriately. This is a true simulation!
  • Realistic Tools. While using Troubleshooting - Basic Control Circuits you are able to perform virtually every operation used on real equipment including:
    • operating the circuit
    • locking out the circuit
    • taking voltage and resistance readings
    • opening connections
    • replacing components and wiring
    • using the observe feature you can even check for visual or other clues to the cause of the fault
  • A fully simulated door lock circuit is available to practice your troubleshooting skills.
  • Schematics and wiring diagrams can be viewed on screen or printed out to help you understand the circuit and eventually track down problem areas to solve faults.
  • A section is included to guide you through the troubleshooting process using three sample faults.
  • Twenty-eight faults are available to solve with various levels of difficulty. This electrical training program evaluates your performance by tracking time and dollars spent to repair the fault.

  • Fault packs are available to add even more faults to the program
  • An evaluation system determines your troubleshooting score and provides feedback on your troubleshooting approach.

  • An automatic reporting system is also included which generates various reports from summary reports to detailed fault attempt reports.
  • Adminstration tools and program guides are available for Instructors

  How the Circuit Works

This section describes how the electrical door lock circuit simulation works. Go to this section to see an animated tutorial of this circuit and learn how the circuit works. 
     
  Troubleshooting the Circuit

Here, animation and narration are used to show you how to operate the circuit and use the tools to troubleshoot faults.
     
  Guided Troubleshooting

This section guides you through the troubleshooting process on three typical faults. Here you can practice using the troubleshooting approach to answer a series of questions and repair faults on the electrical circuit simulation.
     
  Test Your Skill

Here you will troubleshoot and repair faults on the electrical circuit simulation. This program will evaluate your results based on the time and money spent to repair the fault. If your results meet the criteria set by the program, the fault will be marked complete. Otherwise you will have to try it again.
