When you plan to install the GE Dual Communications Control Board DS3800HCMA1A1B in a drive, it is important that the location of the drive installation meets some basic standards that ensure the health and safety of the operators and also ensures the reliability and availability of the drive.
The drive must be installed in a location that is free of dust, dirt, and harsh chemicals in the air. This can harm the electronic components and the powerful moving parts, including the motor. If a problems exists with dusty, dirty, or airborne chemicals, a remedy is to install a hood over the drive. This draws the air away from the drive and replaces it with clean air. Air filters can clean the air of dust, dirt, and chemicals also.
Another requirement concerns the electrical cabling at the site. First, emergency shut offs are required for all electrical power sources. If an emergency is in progress, the shut offs can be activated to quickly remove all power from the drive. This can reduce the opportunity for serious electric shock or burns. It can also reduce the risk of fire or smoke damage.
