Backpack
(ETW-3567)
The ETW-3567 Backpack coupled with any 3000 or 5000 series trainer form a
teaching combination unparalleled in versatility, expandability and
convenience - and tough enough to withstand the rigors of classroom use.
The
Backpack allows the use of pre-wired experiment boards so that your students
won't use valuable lab time breadboarding - they'll spend their time
learning.
The
Backpack features three power supplies and a built-in digital voltmeter. The
voltmeter enables your students to do many of their experiments on a trainer
without additional test instruments.
________________________________________________________________
Experimentation with live circuits is an essential ingredient in an
electronics training program. These Heathkit Electronics Trainers enable the
student to get the hands-on, real-circuit experience that they will need to
master the many aspects of electronics.
These
trainers are built to withstand years of classroom use. Connector blocks are
recessed for extra durability. The power supplies are protected against
short circuits and overloads. The breadboard are removable, so more than one
student can work with a single trainer at the same time.
