Course Description: |
|
This course is designed for those needing training in basic electronics design and repair. Sending modules off for simple repairs can be costly for both the repair and downtime. Students who attend this class will also learn cost effective methods for simple equipment changes such as delaying events, adding indicator lights, or options for controlling equipment remotely. |
