First the principle, then the circuit
Each sensor is measured individually and then evaluated in the circuit—the NTC and PTC are each tested in both steps.
Art. No. 12 020 180 · TP-Lab
TP-Lab Sensors Trainer 4.0 All of the vehicle's sensor technologies in one place.
NTC and PTC, photoresistor and photodiode, potentiometer, pressure sensor, Piezo, hot-film sensor, inductive sensor, and Hall sensor—measured in 19 tasks, evaluated in a circuit, and tracked all the way to the signal waveform.

Why this trainer
What it does in the classroom.
Four points where the TP-Lab Sensors Trainer 4.0 differs from a diagram — you measure on the trainer, not on the drawing.
Signal shape instead of numerical value
Inductive sensors and Hall sensors output their information as signal waveforms—two tasks that lead precisely to the point where diagnostics begin without a fault memory.
The Transistor as a Link
NPN transistors as switches and amplifiers—the step from the sensor signal to a usable quantity.
Your existing equipment comes along
With TPGO, the courses are also compatible with your existing THEPRA devices—your existing equipment remains in use. Anyone who purchases a 4.0 device with TPGO today will also be able to use the older trainers in their facility.
Generation 4.0
From 20 component fields to 25.
The changes compared with the TP-Lab Sensor Trainer — point by point, straight from development.
- Terminal 30 and the 5 V rail with a self-resetting fuse
- G1 is omitted—the 5 V rail is now at the top
- S5 as a reed switch, activated by the magnet
- B3 Schmitt Trigger: analog-to-digital, with adjustable threshold
- B4 Resolver, manually rotatable
- P2 Indicator LED
- New sensor principles: Lidar, radar, ultrasonic, and MEMS —rotational rate
- R11 and R12 — NTC and PTC, now with LED and a temperature knob
- Three Hall effect sensors beneath the magnetic wheel, with a speed controller
- Omitted: second fuse, both shunts, potentiometer, transistor
On the front panel
21 component fields. 9 of them new.
Every field can be measured on its own and wired up freely. The 9 fields marked as new do not exist on the TP-Lab Sensor Trainer. Terminal 30 (12.5 V) · 5 V rail · Terminal 31

The course for the trainer.
On every screen.
The TP-Lab Sensor Trainer 4.0 comes with a complete course on TPGO. It runs in the browser — tablet, phone, computer. The tasks walk through the same measurements the apprentice takes on the trainer: first the assumption, then the series of readings, then the comparison.
