About the DS3800HLEA1C1B

The GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA1C1B features a modular connector for attachment to a drive and retention levers to hold the board in the drive. The GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA1C1B 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. The capacitors and resistors are not configurable components of the board and they are embedded on the surface of the board. They are designed to provide a specific function used during processing. They work without any operator intervention. However, the capacitors require some consideration if the board is removed by a qualified servicer.

The drive is powered by high-voltage current that powers the powerful motor and the boards, including the GE Logic Element Board DS3800HLEA1C1B. During normal operation the high-voltage current is temporarily stored in the capacitors. The capacitors release the current and repeat the cyclical multiple times. If the board is removed the capacitor might retain some high-voltage current even if the board is removed from all power sources. This puts the servicer at a high risk of injury from electric shock or burn. A simple method exists to force the high-voltage current in the capacitors to exit and leave the capacitors harmless. After power is removed from the board, wait 30 seconds and the current will exit the capacitors without servicer intervention.
