About the DS3800HXCA1D1D

GE created the DS3800HXCA1D1D PCB as a part of their Speedtronic Mark IV series. This system is designed for steam and gas turbine control, and has integrated chipsets with overlapping capabilities that will instantaneously take over the responsibilities of a PCB experiencing a failure. This allows the end user a chance to repair and/or replace the damaged PCB with little to no loss of up-time within the system as a whole.

The DS3800HXCA1D1D functions as a shift register board. The DS3800HXCA1D1D has multiple integrated circuits, including flip-flops(SN74LS20N,) DIPs(SN24S74N,) and EPROMs. It is designed with five resistor networks. These may be designed for the conversion of data either from digital to analog or vice versa, or for voltage division. The resistors on this PCB typically are ceramic covered metal film.

The DS3800HXCA1D1D has two female connectors, one on each end of the PCB. It has three test points, five LEDs (4 red and 1 amber,) a set of spare PTH (plated through holes,) and seven jumper switches. Five of the jumper switches are placed in a line close to one edge of the board. The other two jumpers are separate. J7 gives the choice of "5.5mHz" or "11mHz."

The DS3800HXCA1D1D is factory drilled. It has two clips populating two of these drill-outs. The board is labeled along one edge for alignment.

Installation guidelines for the DS3800HXCA1D1D have been printed in manuals and data sheets published by General Electric. Technical support for this component was provided by GE.
