The best last stop before performing the measurement on a real vehicle. The insulation resistance box is one of our best examples of how Electude closes the gap between theory and practice. The insulation resistance box includes a prepared High Voltage cable as if it had been disassembled from the vehicle by a colleague, just a minute ago. The student has to check and assess the cable on insulation resistance using an insulation meter such as a Bosch FSA 050. Evaluating the High Voltage system on insulation is a necessary common measurement after repairs to a High Voltage system.

Offering the students the best guidance in their transfer from theory to daily tasks in a practical environment. That is what Electude had in mind when developing the courseware for the High Voltage Trainer. Students can experience fault behaviour on topics such as insulation resistance and potential equalisation in a completely safe set up.  New on the High Voltage Trainer is the diagnostic search mode, which provides the student of instant feedback on the Trainer when using one of our twenty e-learning guided fault-finding modules. Before performing those technical measurements, the Trainer must be de-energized, just as if it is a real vehicle. There is even a module for (technical) emergency service personal, they learn how a High Voltage system reacts in different situations and how to de-energize a High Voltage System.

Our Vernier Caliper Box teaches and then reinforces practical measurement skills. The package includes a ruler, a Vernier caliper and three measuring objects.

Students of all levels will benefit from our integrated online and hands-on learning solution for electric motors. Using four types of motors, students progress from learning component functions, to assembly of the motors, and ultimately, to application. Self-paced online lessons combine photo-realistic visuals, text and questions to help students identify different types of motors, their components and operation, plus how to use the training aid itself.  Tracking every keystroke, the system measures mastery of the content real-time, providing constant feedback to the student and instructor.  We’ve also included all the motors and generators critical to today’s automotive industry, with an operating range of 0 to 24V.

This tabletop unit teaches learners the properties of high voltage, use of high voltage components, vehicle shut down, identification of damaged cables, and activation of airbags in a collision. The practical activities included teach use of the training aid as well as identification of parts, connecting the power supply, identifying a torn cable, switching power off, measuring to ensure discharge, switching power back on, and identifying SRS deployment. Preliminary theory included covers working on hybrid vehicles, connecting, and disconnecting of high voltage vehicles. Equipment included: high voltage accessory set, power supply unit and TS10 cable.

This blended e-learning and mechanical trainer package introduces students to common speed sensor operation and diagnostics. Self-paced online lessons combine photo- realistic visuals -including a virtual oscilloscope, text, and questions – to guide learners in identifying and understanding resistors, signals, and modulation. Practical assignments teach the use of the MRE mechanical trainer itself, which consists of a magnetic ring and three MRE sensors found in typical vehicles. Students will practice measuring generated signals, interpreting deviations and diagnosing faults.

Electude’s self-paced online lessons combine photo-realistic visuals, text and questions to guide students to an understanding of basic relays and circuits, common faults and diagnostics. Tracking every keystroke, the system measures mastery of the content real-time, providing constant feedback to the student and instructor. Online lessons prepare the student for success in the use of the mechanical training aid and three circuits: basic, relay and electronic. Each circuit has multiple built-in failures activated by the rotary knob. Using the V-14 diagnostic method, students measure voltages, identifying the reason for faults.

Our hands-on automotive Bus Systems Basic training aid combined with state-of-the art e-learning solution takes students from the basics to an advanced level understanding of networked systems in modern vehicles. Photo-realistic 3D graphics with brief overview text and assessment questions engage students with discovery-based learning about parallel communications, CAN bus systems, serial communications, transmission lines, network configuration and testing, and measuring with oscilloscopes.

Electude’s lesson modules teach the basics of circuits and actuators and their purpose in a modern vehicle.  Using the actuator training aid and matching Electude activity modules, guide students as they practice connecting components using the included wiring set. Students become familiar with and build various circuits, and perform relevant measurement on actuators and/or semi-conductors step-by-step, reinforcing their understanding of the operation of circuits and their components.

A comprehensive blended learning experience that teaches the basics of sensors as well as the use of the training aid and hands-on activities. Students follow Electude lessons in order to build and perform measurements on a variety of circuits and sensors. It provides all the needed components including a corresponding wiring set allowing components to be connected.

Students learn the most important parts of automotive lighting systems with the combination of Electude e-learning and the Proline CAN-BUS lighting training aid panel. While the modules teach the basics of CAN-BUS and lighting, the training aid uses bridge plugs with measuring tape to enable individual line sections to be checked, including each switch, pin on the control unit (break out box), output component, and bus section.
