A unique fault insertion system is built
into the trainer for student instruction purposes and normally includes 5
faults. The system features a schematic 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. Activated faults are visible as the corresponding led illuminates on the
fault board. The LEDs can also be switched off thereby not allowing the student
