About the IC3600QIXA1
The IC3600QIXA1 is what is known as a jumper connection circuit board. This part is a type of PCB, or printed circuit board. The IC2600QIXA1 is one of many components in the Mark I-II series produced by GE (General Electric). The Mark I was the first system created for the Speedtronic Mark turbine control series. Mark I was created in 1967 and introduced to the commercial market in 1969. The next system, Mark II, was first introduced in 1973.
The Mark systems can control processes in all gas turbines, including equipment used in utility, pipeline, marine, and combined process cycles. The Mark series automate startup and shutdown, operates turbines reliably, ensures good performance and long life, and can adapt to a variety of turbine processes. The Mark I and Mark II systems automate functions like load and speed control, the injection of gas and water, troubleshooting, and the safety of both the turbine equipment and people who operate them. These systems were designed to handle all kinds of liquid fuels. A line of twenty (20) metal prongs can be found located close to the top of the IC3600QIXA1 board. These prongs are grouped together in collections of five each which are lined up in a row. Each of these groups is identified at the top of the PCB in yellow print. Another line of large metal prongs can be seen along the bottom edge of the IC3600QIXA1. These prongs are aligned in a long row which stretches along the length of the PCB. The prongs are also identifiable by numbers in yellow writing. The two rows of metal prongs are connected by a series of white wires.
