INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE
Learn to:
Interpret sensor types and wiring configurations
Identify sensor ranges and signal types
Calibrate transmitters and sensors
Use diagnostic methods & instruments to determine a faulted sensor
Describe basic, closed-loop control fundamentals
The intended outcome of this hands-on, level II course is a mobile equipment technician (Electronic Technician, Heavy Equipment Technician, Heavy Duty Mechanic) who can identify sensors, explain their function, wiring configuration, and signal type, and then conduct diagnostic tests.
Trainees will learn to work with digital sensors, 3-wire NPN and PNP sensors, 2-wire transmitters and to use multimeters, calibrators and scope meters. This course provides an introduction to process control where trainees learn how sensors and transmitters are used in a closed control loop. The concept of the process variable, setpoint and error along with range, span and scaling are covered for typical temperature, pressure and load cell instruments.
This 3-day course is taught with live, sensor training panels, computer simulations and through instructor guided, hands-on study of components and instruments.
Ideal for maintainers of oilfield service equipment, construction and mining equipment of all types, forestry machines, warehouse and shipping terminal equipment, railway & civic maintenance machinery.
