About the DS3800HLEA
This particular DS3800HLEA printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically with the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series in mind, as was revealed in the various DS3800HLEA instructional manual materials inserted above for your convenience. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is a rather self-explanatory General Electric Mark product series, as it exists with a restricted set of possible functional applications in the control and management systems of General Electric-accepting gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies. This is a notable yet fair downgrade when compared with the soon-to-come Mark VI Series' steam, gad, and wind turbine possible functional product applications. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series is not seen as an entirely undesirable General Electric Mark product series offering however, as it is still heralded as one of the brand's final-developed Mark product series to make use of the Speedtronic control system technology across a wide range of its different devices and components.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA features a modular connector for attachment to a drive and retention levers to hold the board in the drive. The GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA also is populated with 10 indicator LEDs that are viewable from the front of the board and 3 jumpers. The board is populated with resistors and capacitors. It also features air dividers to direct the airflow over the components. Another component on the board is a transistor to transistor logic (TTL) device. It serves as the interface logic between integrated circuits. While this DS3800HLEA product does not make use of any typically-developed Mark IV Series functional product number, it is most likely the actual originally-produced device of its specific Mark VI Series functionality, given the fact that its DS3800HLEA functional product number still does not make any use of a series grouping tag as is typical with Mark Series Suite products. This DS3800HLEA product offering has not been designed for insertion in General Electric's Mark Series Suite's VME Rack Mounting Assembly, given the fact that it does not make use of any metal installation faceplate on the side of its base printed circuit board.
The GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA is designed for easy installation in the drive. It is also easy to remove from the drive. This is helpful if the board must be replaced because the board is defective or has to be repaired or serviced. The design of the board also reduces the number of cables and power cables in the drive. Power cables can cause interference which can degrade the signals passed from board to board in the drive. Also, fewer cables allows for more free flowing air to cool the drive and prevent the buildup of heat. The modular connectors automatically align at the bottom of the board rack. Then, the installer presses the board into the rack and at the same time the modular connectors are pressed together. Press the retention levers down to lock the board. When you power on the drive, the 10 LEDs are lit briefly as a test to indicate if the LEDs are operational. Given the fact that this DS3800HLEA printed circuit board or PCB for short belongs to a now-obsolete legacy General Electric product series, it has not been accompanied online by any great amount of pertinent or originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, the DS3800HLEA functional product number can be described as a decent sufficient source of DS3800HLEA Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for these details through a series of General Electric-formulated functional naming segments. To demonstrate, the DS3800HLEA functional product number begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly responsible for describing this DS3800HLEA product's normal Mark IV Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location.
