Troubleshooting is one of the most important skills a student can learn. To do so requires intensive practice in a realistic setting and teacher analysis of each student’s methods. The 890-FTS1 gives teachers the ability to accomplish this in an effective manner, because it can automatically insert a wide array of faults throughout the training system and record student responses in a computer database. With this system, the teacher can work freely in the classroom, analyzing each student’s results and coaching them while other students are performing their troubleshooting exercises.

The 890-FTS1 can insert faults into electrical lines that carry full power to electric motors, as well as control-level signals, providing students with a more realistic troubleshooting experience. It contains heavy-duty industrial relays that are optically-isolated from the PC running the FaultPro software. The 890-FTS1 easily mounts to the rear frame of the 85-MT5 Electric Motor Control trainer and connects to the 85-MT5 components. A USB cable provides communication between the PC and the Fault Control Module.
