EHC413: Advanced
Electrified Hardware Drawings
Online, Instructor-Led
Course | 28 Hours | 28 CEPs
Description
This ADVANCED
course builds upon what is learned in EHC403. We Recommend attending EHC403,
and COR133, or Similar Industry Training prior to attending this course. Students should be experienced with working with
electrified hardware products.
One of the most important steps in detailing today's
projects is creating the low voltage wiring drawings / diagrams and related
documentation for door openings with electrified hardware. In this course you
will use a computer drawing program (Libre Office Draw is Suggested *) to create more advanced drawings incorporating components
used in access control systems and intercoms, in addition to integrating with
other systems such as burglar alarms, fire alarm systems and telephone entry
systems. This course will teach you how to use correct industry recognized
symbols and drawing techniques to help you communicate the project's
requirements more effectively with the electrician, installer/technician, and
systems integrators. Emphasis will be placed on meeting code requirements in
accordance with the IBC. This course will help prepare the student to reach a
level of difficulty of drawings commensurate with that required to be
successful when writing the EHC Certification Exam.
The
drawings completed in this course will be used in the subsequent EHC423 class
to complete assignments to wire up and program the systems designed in EHC413.
You will Expand your ability to:
- Create advanced
elevation drawings.
- Create advanced
point-to-point drawings.
- Create system drawings showing how components tie into access
control and centrally powered systems where required.
- Create logic diagrams to aid in design of openings.
Please note: This course is not designed to provide
students with in-depth software knowledge.
*
DHI recommends the use of Libre Office Draw as free software, but if you
are already very familiar with a different software package such as VISIO, to
create Elevation and Point–to-point drawings, you are welcome to use it for the
class. Please note instructors may not be able to help you with software issues
using a program other than Libre Office Draw.
All
assignments will be completed in class and students will receive one-on-one
attention from the instructors.
