Amatrol Portable Pneumatics Troubleshooting Learning System

This system delivers value in two key ways: first, it provides essential training for learners and professionals who perform maintenance, installation, and troubleshooting on pneumatic systems used in automation, packaging, pharmaceutical, chemical, and other industries. Second, it incorporates industry-standard valves, switches, and gauges into a compact, portable format that can be set up on a classroom table, shop desk, or nearly any space where training is needed.

The 990-PTB1 includes directional and flow control valves, limit switches, a programmable logic controller, and Amatrol’s FaultPro electronic fault insertion software. With these industrial components, learners can practice troubleshooting across key areas such as air preparation, pneumatic actuators, vacuum systems, and complete pneumatic circuits—all in a portable solution that maintains the depth and quality of Amatrol’s training systems.

Practice Hands-On Pneumatic Troubleshooting

The 990-PTB1 features four directional control valves, two double-acting cylinders, six flow control valves, a vacuum gauge, pressure gauge, multimeter, and a Siemens S7-1200 PLC, all within a portable trainer. These components allow learners to develop critical troubleshooting skills, including in-circuit testing of filters, cylinders, flow control valves, and quick exhaust valves. Exercises also cover diagnosing issues such as low or high pressure, actuator sequence errors, and actuator speed faults.

Comprehensive Troubleshooting Curriculum in a Stunning Multimedia Format

The 990-PTB1 comes with a complete curriculum covering pneumatic troubleshooting topics such as lubricator failure, rotary actuator operation, vacuum switch failure, and zero-pressure troubleshooting. Delivered in an interactive multimedia format, the curriculum includes 3D graphics, animations, audio narration, quizzes, and activities—keeping learners engaged while reinforcing essential troubleshooting concepts.

FaultPro: A World-Class Troubleshooting Teaching Tool

Unique to Amatrol, the FaultPro system allows instructors to insert more than 30 electronic faults into the trainer. Learners progress through guided procedures to develop systematic troubleshooting skills, then apply their knowledge by resolving randomly inserted faults. This approach builds the confidence and problem-solving ability needed for real-world technical challenges.

The 990-PTB1: Mobile, Durable, Compact Learning System

Housed in a rugged ABS plastic case with wheels and a handle, the 990-PTB1 is designed for mobility and durability. The cover removes quickly, enabling the trainer to sit upright on a table for immediate use in any training environment. Its compact design ensures easy storage and transport without sacrificing functionality.

Student Reference Guide

A Student Reference Guide derived from the system's interactive eLearning provides learners with the technical content covered throughout the training objectives. The guide gives students a convenient reference for reviewing pneumatic troubleshooting concepts, procedures, components, and diagnostic techniques during training and after completing the course.
