About the DS3800HMPF
The DS3800HMPF is a microprocessor controller module from General Electric. This board was designed for use with the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series specifically. The Mark IV Series that this DS3800HMPF product was originally manufactured for has to de determined as existing with specific functional applications in the control and management systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies, as partially proven through its full extended series name. With this being the case, this DS3800HMPF product's Mark IV Turbine Control System must be considered a now-obsolete legacy product series, given the fact that its original manufacture was discontinued for manufacture by its original retailer due to a manufacturer-identified series-wide functional obsolescence in one of the many years beyond its primary original rollout.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3800HMPF is one of several available <RST> controller modules for the Mark IV. Controller modules like this one are designed to work in conjunction with two other controller boards in a triple-redundant application in conjunction with the system’s communicator. The DS3800HMPF is a rectangular circuit board that has been factory drilled at each board corner. Two of these factory holes are fitted with extractor clips to allow the board to be more easily inserted or extracted from place. The opposite board edge from these extractors is fitted with a long backplane connector, while the board edge with the extractors includes a right-angled connector, several jumper switches, and two LED indicators. One of these indicators is yellow and the other is red. Other board components on the DS3800HMPF include TP test points, resistor network arrays, resistors, capacitors, and a number of integrated circuits. The board also includes a vertical pin ribbon connector. This connector allows for communication between the DS3800HMPF and an optional auxiliary board that mounts to the front half of the circuit board. This optional board mounts in place using standoffs and screw mounts.
For additional information about the DS3800HMPF or any other board component from the Mark IV series, please refer to original documentation from General Electric like manuals or user guides. These will provide detailed information regarding the installation and maintenance of your part. Unfortunately for the sake of this DS3800HMPF personalized product page here, this DS3800HMPF device specifically isn't followed by any great amount of originally-pertinent instructional manual materials; likely a function of the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series' legacy GE product series status revealed in the introductory paragraph above. With this being the case, the DS3800HMPF functional product number itself can be introduced as a fine primary source of DS3800HMPF Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for various DS3800HMPF Board details in a series of functional naming components. For instance, the DS3800HMPF functional product number itself begins with a dual-functional naming segment in the DS3800 series tag delegating this DS3800HMPF product's normal Mark IV Series product grouping as well as its domestic original manufacture location. Some of the other relevant hardware details embedded in functional naming components of the DS3800HMPF functional product number include this DS3800HMPF device's HMPF functional product abbreviation.
