Introduction

Watch the example video on how to draw schematics.

 

 

Instructions

Watch the lab example video, and then perform the lab.

 

 

  1. Follow the guidelines on the Lab Expectations page.
  2. Print off the drawing template found at the start of this module. (If you cannot print the drawing, draw the template on a piece of paper.)
  3. Write your initials in the "Drawn By:" section of the template drawing.
  4. Write the date in the "Date:" section of the template drawing.
  5. Write the lab number in the "Drawing #" section of the template drawing.
  6. Write the title of the lab in the title section of the template drawing.
  7. Legibly draw up the following schematic using the drawing template and drawing legend. (Note: Refer to AMAR-1200-01 - AC Amps Measurement.pdf and AMAR-1200-02 - DC Amps Measurement.pdf found in previous modules for examples on how to properly draw a schematic.)
  8. Draw AC input to 24 VAC transformer. (Just like you have seen in previous labs. This is where the 120 volt plug comes into the transformer.)
  9. Draw all circuit breakers in the system.
  10. Draw a 3-way switch in series with a light bulb on the NC contact.
  11. Then using the same 3-way switch, draw in a buzzer on the NO contact.
  12. Label all wires with the appropriate color.
  13. Wire up the circuit per your drawing.
  14. Show that the circuit works.
  15. Measure the voltage into the light circuit.
  16. Measure the amps into the light circuit.
  17. Calculate the power in the light circuit.
