Duration:

2 Days

Who is it for:

Staff involved in the maintenance or design of industrial and mobile hydraulic systems who require a knowledge and understanding of pump control systems.

Entry Requirements:

Candidates should have attended our Stage 1 Hydraulics training course and have a good understanding of modern hydraulic systems.

Course Aims:

To provide candidates with an appreciation of energy efficient control systems to meet a specification, enabling a more authoritative approach to be made when selecting pumps and associated control systems. To provide a better understanding to those involved in the commissioning and maintenance of such systems.

Course Outline:

• Health and performance monitoring
• Practical 'hands-on' (Setting up procedures)
• Open and closed loop applications

Leading to:

Certificate of attendance.

This course provides an excellent foundation for those wishing to gain a BFPA qualification.

Notes:

Practical demonstrations and "hands-on" experience, enabling candidates to build circuits and observe performance related to specific control systems will support the course.
