About the DS3800HLCA1E1E
General Electric created the DS3800HLCA1E1E PCB to integrate into their Speedtronic/Mark IV control system for gas and steam turbines. The Mark IV can be used for fuel and air emissions control, for sequencing the turbine fuel for start-up, for monitoring auxiliary and control functions, and to warn against adverse operating conditions.
The DS3800HLCA1E1E works within the Mark IV system as an I/O control board. It aligns easily via alignment marks on its top edge (letters A to J plus triangle marks.) It is factory drilled at all corners.
The DS3800HLCA1E1E has two toggle switches, one marked 'test,' that is 0.4 max (A4627P5, with three right angled prongs into the board) and another marked 'reset' that is also 0.4 max (A4627PII, with six right-angled prongs into the board.) There are one red LED test light and three adjustable jumper switches.
The DS3800HLCA1E1E is designed with programmable interfaces, EPROMs, DIPs, and oscillators (more than 35 total.) It has three resistor networks and four potentiometers. There are twelve labeled TP test points attached to the board.
The DS3800HLCA1E1E has a female AMD connector marked 218A4553-1 located along one short edge of the board. Resistors on the DS3800HLCA1E1E are typically ceramic metal film. Capacitors are small and have been placed at equal intervals along and through the board.
Technical support for all Mark IV components including the DS3800HLCA1E1E was originally provided by General Electric. GE publications such as manuals and data sheets will aid in proper installation and maintenance.
