Labtech color television trainers are based upon the world famous brand name products such as National/Panasonic, Sharp, JVC, Hitachi, Sony, etc. These trainers are specifically created to teach television operation, theory, repair and servicing. Special attention is given to fault diagnosis so as to facilitate the teaching of troubleshooting techniques. These trainers are ideal for use as stand-alone units or can be combined with our VCR trainers to make a complete VCR/TV training system. 

The TV is mounted on an attractive chassis, which allows all parts to be visible for inspection and servicing.  The circuit board features a plexiglas cover so as to protect the circuit board from dust and damage.   All control built-into the circuit boards are functional as well as the remote control.  Test points have been brought out to a special PCB which groups all test points together and clearly labels them to aid in the diagnostic and testing process.  This feature also reduces the risk of accidental damage to the TV main circuit board by locating the test points off the main board. The CRT is mounted in its original case, which has been modified so as to allow the rear of the tube to be easily accessible for student work.

The teaching program is designed to follow the service procedures as recommended by the manufacturer and uses the factory service manual in conjunction with student job sheets along with a test on television servicing and theory. Each trainer comes with complete courseware information as follows:

a)      factory service manual with detailed circuit board schematic diagram.

b)      student job sheets with fault guide and wiring diagram.

c)      general book on television servicing and theory.  

A unique fault insertion system is built into the trainer for student instruction purposes. The system features a schematic circuit block diagram silk-screened onto an integral fault board that utilizes LEDs to indicate the nature and location of the fault. The fault is activated by touching an electronic switch with a special teaching probe. Single or multiple faults may be introduced at any time. Faults may be visualized by use of the led lights or the LEDs may be switched off, thereby not allowing the student to know where the fault is. This feature is ideal for testing purposes.
