Description
All components are mounted on a 1/8" thick white panel covered with 1/8" clear lexan with
silk-screened labels. This panel and all components are mounted in a high-density, heavy-duty
case constructed from high density polyethylene, an extremely tough and resilient material
suited for everyday abuses. The case has a steel-cored-panel handle, heavy-duty separable
hinges, dust gasket, and locking latches. The case dimensions are: 39 1/2" long x 22 1/2" high
x 7 1/2" deep. The cover has the same dimensions as the case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much do I need to know about computers to run this system?
A: Very little. The software is Windows® based. All you need to do is read the screen, use the mouse
to highlight what you want to do and left click. Using the mouse will also move you from screen to
screen. The only other equipment requirement for the student will be to type their name.....SIMPLE!
Q: What will the student learn?
A: The main purpose is to learn logical troubleshooting techniques. The ICST uses circuit diagrams
and software emulation for five common control circuits.
Q: Do I have to plan out each session?
A: No, the ICST 3100 software can be run in the "Random" mode. This means the software will
randomly select the fault the student must troubleshoot.
Q: Can I use my own computer?
A: Any Windows 2000, XP or Vista

How It's Used
The ICST 3100 is the only computer interactive motor
control troubleshooting trainer that can track a
student's troubleshooting procedure and print out the
results.
To use the system, an instructor picks one or more of
the 152 faults from the Instructor's Guide and using the
menu driven software he/she builds a fault table for the
students troubleshooting session. Then, the instructor
enters in the table number and the time limit for the
session and turns the computer and trainer over to the
student.
From the screen, the student makes decisions to:
the correct answer. They use the screen to view the
voltage and resistance readings. Once they are
convinced they have the right answer, they will go
back to the "Student Selection Menu" and "Replace a
Component or Selection".
The student will repeat this procedure until the session
ends. The session can end in several different ways: the
student can finish troubleshooting all the faults in the
table; the time can run out; or they can choose "Quit
Session".
No matter how the session ends the instructor can get
a printout on the students performance. The ICST
3100 times and tracks every measurement the student
makes as well as every component they replace. This
will give the instructor insight on the student's
understanding of the circuit and troubleshooting
techniques.
Each individual fault has an evaluation page.
Using the "Fault Summary Page" the instructor can
evaluate the student's overall troubleshooting session.
This page summarizes all of the faults the student has
attempted.
