About the DS3800HS1C

The DS3800HS1C is a pulse rate input PCB, or printed circuit board, which was created by General Electric (GE). This product was designed as part of the Speedtronic Mark IV series. The Mark IV is in charge of automating turbines. Mark IV is a system in the Mark series, which has been used since the late 1960s. The Mark systems are based on technology which has been in development since the 1940s. Mark IV is in charge of automating all functions of a turbine, whether gas or steam. This system controls emissions, sequences fuel, and monitors turbine operations. The Mark IV contains a diagnostic system for troubleshooting which alerts the operator of any issues and helps the operator find a solution to the problem.

The DS3800HS1C is a pulse rate input circuit card. A pulse rate input is a class of input/output which is related to frequency, counting, and totalization applications. Pulse inputs can be used to count the rotations of a turbine’s flowmeter. The pulse input counts pulses. With an elapsed time measure, the frequency or pulse rate can be calculated using the pulse input. Pulses can make the voltage either more positive or more negative. A pulse input card calculates the voltage in a circuit and the pulse duration or pulse width.

All DS3800HS1Cs are shipped enclosed in packaging which gets rid of any static energy which might be accumulated during shipping. GE (General Electric) should be contacted for any potential technical support or troubleshooting needs.
