About the DS3800HXCA1A1A

The DS3800HXCA1A1A is a printed circuit board manufactured by General Electric. It is a component in their Mark IV/Speedtronic system designed for gas and steam turbine control. This system has been created with integrated chipsets that overlap some abilities and will automatically take up the responsibilities of a damaged board in the case of an electronics failure. This allows the user time to repair or replace a damaged board with little to no downtime within the whole system.

The DS3800HXCA1A1A is designed as a shift register board, and has these specifications:

• It has five resistor networks. These may be for voltage division or for the conversion of data from analog to digital.

• It has seven jumper switches. Five of these sit in line with each other. J7 sits separately and allows the user to choose between 5.5 mHz and 11 mHz.

• It has three test points.

• It has spare plated through holes available in the upper right quadrant of the board.

• It is factory drilled.

• It has multiple integrated circuits including flip-flops like Motorola's SN74LS20N, and dual 4-pin DIPs like Texas Instruments' SN74S74N.

• It has five LEDs broken into two sets. There are three red LEDs at the lower corner of one short side; these are labeled "local," "bus," and "chan." On the upper corner of the same side there is one more red LED labeled "active," and an amber LED labeled "ImOk."

• It has two female connectors located on opposite sides of the board.

Installation guidelines for the DS3800HXCA1A1A can be found in General Electric publications such as data sheets and manuals. Technical support for the DS3800HXCA1A1A , including publications of this sort, was provided by GE.
