GUIDED MODEREAL CALLS · STEP BY STEP

New to this? Pick a real-world call below and get walked through it step by step, in plain English — no meter, no wiring math.

← LAB

Pick a call. Each one starts with the panel already showing a real condition — you'll read the display, go inspect the device, decide the fix, and confirm it clears. No meter, no wiring math — just the four panel buttons and your own judgment.

TIER 1 · BASIC OPERATION
Read the panel, work the four keys, handle what shows up. No fault to diagnose beyond what the display already tells you outright.
EXPLORE · LIVE
Every control explained with its NFPA 72 section. Put the demo building into alarm, work the keys, then find a NAC, SLC or battery fault with the meter on the BENCH tab.
GUIDED · LIVE (Sim-80)
Twenty-six real-world calls across five tiers — plain-English walkthroughs (Tiers 1/2/4/5) and meter-required field faults dealt straight into the real NAC/SLC benches (Tier 3). Sim-3030 Guided support is next.
EXAM · LIVE
A random hidden fault on the real NAC or SLC circuit, no hints, no fault tree — repair it, write your findings, and submit for a scored PASS/FAIL: Outcome, Accuracy, Safety, Efficiency and Time.
SIM-4K · LIVE (Explore)
The large-hospital panel: four separate ACK keys, the tally screen, a reset that refuses while an alarm is present, and now a NAC and an SLC/IDNet bench with a real meter — try them above. No menu tree or Guided walkthrough for this panel yet.
