Industrial Sensors

Course #111

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for master level electricians. The course will teach electricians the theory of industrial sensors and closed looped systems. Each student will wire a PNP and a NPN proximity switches to operate a solenoid. They will also trouble-shoot and find bugs that instructors will install into their panels. The students will be timed as they trouble-shoot and must find and correct the problem in less then 15 minutes. 

Approved CEU Credits:

3.0 Credits

Prerequisite:

The student should have a sound understanding of relay control circuits and motor starters with at least 3 years experience trouble-shooting relay controls. Course # 109, #101 and #115 is recommend if student has less then 3 years experience.
