ADEPT Communication Networks
Highlights
The ADEPT (Alexander Dennis Electrical Programmable Technology) architecture has been developed to ensure our buses remain at the forefront of design, bringing improved benefits to all operating systems. Trainees will learn how the new platform integrates communication networks and systems to efficiently operate the bus and display vital information and diagnostics on the new generation instrument cluster and network.
This course will explain how ADEPT works and how to identify components and their location. The course aims to simplify our communication networks, so that technicians of all levels will understand and be confident in their approach to fault finding and using the technical information provided in our Service Manuals.
This course is aimed at competent technicians involved in the maintenance and repair of Alexander Dennis buses, in particular electrical or diagnostic specialists. Trainees will be encouraged to develop their understanding by participating in practical exercises and discussion throughout the duration of the course.
