The Labtech Electrical Practical Training Board System is designed to realistically simulate the electrical system on an automobile. The unit consists of a number of modular demonstration panels, which are mounted on a wheeled stand that contains a power source and component connecting cables. The trainer features a wide range of modules covering automotive electrical systems, Ignition systems, Cranking/starting system, Charging systems, Fuel Systems, Engine management systems and Car accessories systems for normal car and heavy vehicles such as trucks. Real original automotive parts as commonly used in automobile typically produced by the major car or component manufacturers are used where required.
This system can be used in the classroom as a demonstration unit to show students various types of wiring and to familiarize them with typical car electrical systems. Also it can be used as a trainer with the student performing actual wiring exercises with the various components. Special on board test points are provided for the students to do electrical measurement on relevant signals and perform troubleshooting exercises. The trainer has a microprocessor based fault simulator system that can be connected to a Personal Computer to activate the faults and records the students answers for scoring purpose. The computer software also used to view the electrical circuit simulation in graphical form as well as accessing the training material and theory in CAI format.
