Williams WPC test fixture
« on: August 23, 2013, 08:44:19 PM »
Hi guys some of you might like to see the progress on my home made WPC test fixture.

I can now test all switches, all coils ,all flashers and all of the lamp matrix.

  Hopefully this video works

How did I do it.  Man where do I start.

  Firstly I collected a full set of WPC boards the metal panel that holds the boards and a transformer (basically a whole machine)

  Then with plenty of help from Ken (Skybeaux) worked out the rest of what I needed by copying photos of his original unit.

  Then lots and lots of patience wiring everything up.

The lamp matrix and go are bulbs the coil and flasher outputs are Led and yes each output has its own load to simulate a coil  ^^^

Neat project. I've started on one of these many times, but never gotten quite that far.

Can you provide a bit more information on how you are load testing the coils? Maybe a schematic or photo?
