Overview of the Automotive Central Locking and Alarm System Training Panel
The FXB-I19001 training panel is designed for theoretical instruction and practical training in automotive central door locking and alarm systems. Based on the architecture of a system used in the Volkswagen Passat B5, it enables trainees to identify the main components, understand their operation, and perform inspection, diagnostic, and troubleshooting exercises.
This training equipment is suitable for technical schools, secondary and higher vocational education institutions, and specialised centres providing training in automotive electrical and electronic systems and maintenance.
Features and Training Functions
1. Functional Central Locking and Alarm System
The panel incorporates an operational central locking and alarm system for studying the structure and operation of its main components. It reproduces the principal system functions, supporting hands-on learning through direct operation and observation.
2. Door Lock Control and Alarm Operation
Operating the key or locking switch allows all four vehicle doors to be locked or unlocked simultaneously.
When the alarm system is armed after the ignition key has been removed, the panel demonstrates the system's response when the alarm is triggered, including:
- Activation of the alarm siren.
- Flashing of the turn signal lights.
- Interruption of engine starting authorisation, according to the operation of the simulated system.
3. Training Panel with Explanatory Diagrams
The panel is constructed from aluminium-plastic composite board with a minimum thickness of 4 mm, providing good resistance to corrosion, impact, moisture, and dirt.
Its surface is treated to ensure the durability of the electrical and functional diagrams. The circuit diagrams and operating principle illustrations help trainees understand the interactions between components and compare theoretical diagrams with the actual system.
4. Test Points and Electrical Diagnostics
Test terminals are integrated into the panel to measure the main electrical signals of the central locking and alarm system components, including:
- Voltage.
- Current.
- Resistance.
- Frequency.
These test points facilitate circuit analysis, signal verification, and practical training in automotive electrical diagnostics.
5. Mobile Frame and Work Surface
The panel is mounted on a painted steel frame. It is equipped with castors and locking mechanisms to facilitate movement and provide stability during practical training sessions.
An integrated work surface allows users to place documents, accessories, and small measuring instruments required for training activities.
6. Power Supply and Protection
The training panel is powered by an external 220 V AC supply. An internal circuit converts this voltage to 12 V DC to operate the training system, eliminating the need for an automotive battery that requires recharging.
The power supply system incorporates short-circuit protection to help ensure safe operation of the panel.
7. Fault Simulation and Skills Assessment
The panel is equipped with an intelligent fault configuration and training assessment system. It allows instructors to simulate malfunctions and enables trainees to identify their causes and apply appropriate diagnostic procedures.
This feature supports hands-on learning, systematic fault analysis, and the assessment of technical skills.
