manufacturers

25
What principle does an LCD screen use to operate?
uses the principle of polarized light to put images on a screen
26
How does an LED emit light?
emits light when it's connected in a forward biased circuit
27
How does a vacuum fluorescent display emit light?
in a way similar to a cathode ray tube
28
what are the 3 main info data bus configuration standards used in off-road equipment?
J1708, J1587, J1939
29
What must you be aware of when servicing electronic panels?
wear a ground strap to prevent static electricity disconnect main power before welding use a high impedance DMM do not rip on electrical harnesses
30
why should you not leave any gauges face down for long periods of time?
because the fluid inside will leak out
31
how will a gauge react if it has lost its fluid from leaking?
it will exhibit erratic dial movement
32
high resistances will cause voltage drops. voltage drops that occur in equipment lighting systems will cause lamps to:
illuminate dimly
33
_____ or _____ warning devices signal the operator of a potential problem or hazardous condition coercing various machine operating conditions
audible, visual
34
Any change in unit electrical system voltage will affect the bi-metal gauge readings and cause them to be inaccurate. a small _______ ______ is used to maintain the system voltage and provide accurate gauge readings
voltage regulator
35
what allows the units electronic control modules to communicate with each other?
an information data bus
