The Series 600 Training System, Model EB-607, provides a wide variety of competency-based modules, including simulator tasks.

The training system teaches the concepts, maintenance procedures and troubleshooting techniques needed to maintain and repair today's automotive electrical power systems.

The Electrical Power training system is designed for students who have completed the Degem Electrical Concepts training system covering basic electrical/electronic concepts and measurement techniques.

Description

The Training System consists of a training simulator, courseware package and computer. The Training Simulator presents a pictorial of the emissions control system of a modern automobile. The EFE, EGR and Air Management System are displayed in a clear, understandable format. Test points are provided for electric checks with the student-proof digital multimeter. A vacuum pump and meter allow students to evaluate and troubleshoot the system while in the experiment and troubleshooting modes. Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxides and NOx emissions are monitored under different engine conditions and loads.

The Courseware Package includes a student lab manual, instructor’s manual and user's guide. The Lab Manual, used in conjunction with the training simulator provides a complete course of study for emission control systems. The student is taken from basic concepts learned through system experiments, to complex troubleshooting exercises using typical troubleshooting flowcharts. The Instructor's Manual provides guidance in the effective use of the training system. Complete experiment results, answers to questions and troubleshooting flowcharts are also included.

A pictorial on the student panel shows the air and fuel management system and the controls used to minimize emission levels and optimize the air/fuel ratio. Components, connectors, vacuum lines and electrical systems within the system are clearly and realistically portrayed to maximize training effectiveness.

Experiment Mode

The Degem competency-based curriculum package includes a student lab manual with experiments that include an objective, procedure, technical discussion, lab worksheets, troubleshooting flow charts, questions and a summary.

1. The experiments cover the following areas:

2. Internal combustion engine

3. Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxides and NOx emissions

4. Measurements of emissions

5. Stoichiometric air/fuel ratio

6. Early fuel evaporation

7. Idle air control

8. Evaporative emission control

9. Exhaust-gas re-circulation

10. Manifold air injection

11. Three-way catalytic converter

12. Fuel control

13. Air preheat systems

Troubleshooting Mode

The Emission Control Training System allows the instructor to insert malfunctions with an ease and versatility unavailable on actual equipment or mock-ups.

With the touch of a button, the instructor can implant malfunctions into the electrical, mechanical and vacuum
components and lines. The training systems focus on logical troubleshooting skills, a necessity for today's fast-paced and competitive job market.

Twenty-five malfunction conditions can be simulated and entered either singly or in paired combinations.

The malfunctions are divided into the following categories:

• Engine faults

• Sensor faults

• Control faults

• Computer faults

• Assembly faults

Tracking students Performance

The Degem training system provides the capability to track student activities. The selected experiment's elapsed time and the replace/repair attempts are tracked by the computer. The student’s name, activities, date and class can be displayed on the monitor and printed on the optional printer to provide a permanent record of the student's performance.
