Techniques for diagnosing and troubleshooting issues

Learn how Motion Labs portable power distribution and fixed speed low voltage chain hoist control equipment works and how to repair it. Presentations provide in-depth theoretical training. Practical system demonstrations and hands-on simulated repairs with MLI equipment provide applied learning and experience in a controlled environment. We explain system design as well as the function and properties of circuits and components in the system. For chain hoist control, we break the system down into four main circuits and explain the function and properties of each circuit and all the components in the system.
