Auto Electronics Trainer
Model Number: 700-10
Build introductory automotive electronic circuits and develop practical diagnostic skills.
Overview
This hands-on learning resource allows students to build a variety of introductory automotive electronic circuits using a range of on-board and carrier-mounted components. The unique design of the unit includes a heavy-duty casing with transparent protective cover. When in use, the cover folds back to provide an angled support for the workstation. With the cover closed, units become stackable for easy storage. The trainer includes access to digital curriculum materials including practical learning tasks, as well as theory support resources. Students are set tasks that encourage them to explore circuits practically, to help develop their understanding of electrical components, circuits and systems. They also develop diagnostic and fault-finding skills using real test equipment.
