About the DS3800HIOA1C1E
This DS3800HIOA1C1E printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally manufactured for the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, as was discussed above in our brief product description for your convenience. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800HIOA1C1E printed circuit board product offering belongs to has to be described as an obsolete legacy General Electric product series normally, as its original production was discontinued due to a manufacturer-identified functional series-wide obsolescence at some point in the many years beyond its initial Mark IV Series rollout. While generally obsolete, the Mark IV series containing this DS3800HIOA1C1E printed circuit board product offering here is something of an attractive General Electric product series on its greater automated industrial promotional marketplace, given the fact that it is additionally considered one of the final-developed General Electric Mark product series to make use of the brand's patented Speedtronic control system technology across a broad range of Mark Series printed circuit board products. The Speedtronic control system technology seen in this DS3800HIOA1C1E PCB and its greater Mark IV Series was first released for the initial Mark I Turbine Control System Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Input Isolator Board DS3800HIOA1C1E features a hole in each corner for installing the board with screws. The GE Input Isolator Board DS3800HIOA1C1E also is populated with a microprocessor and multiple erasable programmable read-only (EPROM) modules. The board has 1 34-pin connector that is accessible from the edge of the board. It also is populated with test points. If the board is not operating at full capacity first inspect the fuses. Replace any that are blown. If too much power is present in the circuit or other unusual activity occurs, the fuse will blow to protect the circuit. This removes power from the circuit and the function provided by the circuit will be lost. Another source of information is to use the test points which are located on the surface of the board. They are available for use by a qualified servicer to test the function of the board. Each test point is associated with a circuit on the board. With use of a properly calibrated testing device, the servicer can check the health of a circuit. The servicer must have knowledge of the board circuitry and the proper safety precautions. In some cases, a board can be repaired and installed in the drive. The testing can only be performed when the board is removed from the drive. The board must be placed on static protective material. This might be a mat designed for the purpose or on a flattened static protect bag.
In terms of its installation and replacement strategy, it can be assumed that this particular DS3800HIOA1C1E printed circuit board product offering does not utilize any VME Rack Installation Assembly, as was indicated by its base printed circuit board's lack of a standard VME Rack Installation metal faceplate as is typical with these styles of General Electric products. This theory is reinforced as each individual corner of this DS3800HIOA1C1E product's base printed circuit board has been factory-drilled and insulated for convenient and safe installation purposes. Given this DS3800HIOA1C1E product's Mark IV Legacy Series attribution and its concurrent lack of originally-relevant instructional manual materials online, the DS3800HIOA1C1E functional product number itself can be treated as a decent source of DS3800HIOA1C1E Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various DS3800HIOA1C1E Board details in a series of functionally-significant naming segments. For starters, this DS3800HIOA1C1E functional product number begins with an inclusion of the dual-functional DS3800 series naming segment responsible for this DS3800HIOA1C1E device's classification both as a domestically-manufactured product and as a circuit board with a standard Mark IV Series assembly style. Some of the other relevant classifications for the DS3800HIOA1C1E Board revealed in this manner include its:
- HIOA functional product abbreviation
- Group one Mark IV Series product grouping
