17
Q

If the eco is the control device for the backup light and warning beeper, where should the relay be grounded?

A

through the ecu

18
Q

what two signals can control the backup lamp circuit?

A

unit transmission switch or eco

19
Q

When the cab door is closed, what position is the door switch?

A

open position

20
Q

Benefits of using LED lights?

A

provides operators 10m of stopping distance

21
Q

How do DC motors operate?

A

use electricity and magnetism to produce rotary mechanical motion

22
Q

does a PM motor have electrical field coils?

23
Q

what is the only factor limiting a PM motors armature speed?

A

counter-electromotive forces generated in the armature

24
Q

Since the speed of a pm motor is constant, what can be used to slow the output?

A

a reduction gearbox

25
Why would you install fuses in both positive and negative leads of operator entertainment and communication circuits?
to prevent damaging the component and wiring if someone tried to crank the unit with the battery disconnect switch off
26
what is interference caused by?
electromagnetic energy aka static
27
how do you get rid of interference?
series coil or parallel connected capacitor
28
what are equipment tracking systems comprised of?
a satellite tracking component and a communication component
29
how does an air core gauge operate?
using coils winding around a ferrite core
30
what does a tachometer read?
displays unit engine speed in rpm
31
how is fuel level measured?
uses a sending unit in the fuel tank, includes a float and variable resistor
32
what is an anti-slosh module?
electronic filter that minimizes gauge pointer fluctuation when fuel sloshes around
33
why would a fuel level reading be inaccurate?
if fuel gauge sending unit does not have a proper electrical ground
34
characteristic of a negative temperature coefficient?
resistance low when hot resistance high when cold
35
characteristic of a positive temperature coefficient?
resistance low when cold resistance high when hot
36
