This fundamental electronic principles training course gives a practical understanding of electronics and is vital for everyone involved in the repair, maintenance and commissioning of all electronic security systems. As part of the practical exercises, you will build a basic series and parallel circuit, then using a multimeter you will learn how to correctly measure Current, Voltage and Resistance.

What will you learn?

• Ohm’s Law
• Electronic Symbols and components
• Recognising resistor colour codes – Practical exercise
• Voltage
• Alternating and Direct current (AC/DC)
• Resistance
• Using the multimeter to measure voltage, current and resistance – Practical exercise
• Practical work with series and parallel circuits
• Calculating Power (Watts)
• Batteries and Power supplies
• Regulated and unregulated power supplies
• Safety Devices
• Transformers
• Health and safety
