Troubleshooting wiring faults is a critical skill if we want to keep systems operating and customers happy. In this course, students will learn a repeatable process they can use to find any open, short, reverse polarity, or ground fault.

Students will start by learning about the elementary physical forces that allow electricity to exist. Students will gain a clear understanding of current, voltage, and resistance. Building upon that knowledge, students will learn how circuits work and the different types of circuit faults.

After understanding basic circuit faults, students will learn how series and parallel control circuits (e.g., security, fire alarm, HVAC, SCADA, and other low voltage equipment control wiring) work, how these circuits get compromised, and how to find and fix the problem.

Students will learn how to use a multimeter and how to stay safe while doing so.

Most importantly, students will get repeated practice troubleshooting and diagnosing opens, shorts, reverse polarity, and ground faults on the FS-24-TBS Troubleshooting Station, which has 80 wiring segments between devices where faults can be introduced by the instructor.

This is an in-person course and incorporates animations, live interactive demos, a custom video game, and hands-on practice diagnosing wiring issues.

The Foundations course is a one-day training class, covering the basics. It also serves as the first day of the full Troubleshooting and Meter Skills class. Background and more details are available on the overview page.
