About the DS3800NFCD1K1D
This DS3800NFCD1K1D printed circuit board product offering from General Electric was originally designed and manufactured specifically for placement in the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, as delegated in the various instructional manual materials made available to the manuals tab above dependent on general market availability. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this specific DS3800NFCD1K1D printed circuit board product offering belongs to is rather self-explanatory generally, as its specific applications exist in gas and steam turbine control and management system settings. With this being the case, the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series containing this DS3800NFCD1K1D component product was not yet developed to encompass alternative energy-geared wind turbine automated drive assembly applications, and is additionally considered an obsolete GE product series as a whole as it is truthfully a legacy product series discontinued for manufacture due to a company-identified series-wide functional obsolescence at some point following its initial General Electric design and release.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1K1D features 1 hole in each corner for attaching with screws the board to the drive interior. The board is populated with 4 standoffs for attaching a daughter card. The daughter card provides additional processing, connectors, and features. The board is populated with multiple transistor-transistor logic devices. The GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1K1D is also populated with 13 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber indicator LED. The board also has 1 socket for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) modules. The board is also populated with multiple jumpers and 2 34-pin connectors. Given this DS3800NFCD1K1D printed circuit board product offering's initial attribution to the Mark IV Turbine Control System Legacy Series, it is not followed online by any great amount of originally-designed instructional manual materials. With this being the case, the DS3800NFCD1K1D functional product number itself can be considered a decent source of DS3800NFCD1K1D Board hardware component and component specification information, as it codes for many of these details through a selection of GE-developed functional naming segments. For example, the DS3800NFCD1K1D functional product number here begins with the dual-functional DS3800 series tag indirectly describing this DS3800NFCD1K1D PCB's domestic location of original manufacture and its normal Mark IV Series assembly. Some of the other hardware details revealed in the DS3800NFCD1K1D functional product number include this NFCD-abbreviated PCB's:
- NFCD functional product acronym
- Group one Mark IV Series product grouping
A daughter card attached to the GE Firing Circuit Board DS3800NFCD1K1D has jumpers embedded on it. The jumper IDs are prefixed with the letter J and suffixed with the letter F. The middle position is a number that varies for all jumpers. Some of the jumper IDs are J5F, J3F, and J6F. The installation instructions provided with the daughter card describe how the jumper positions change the card configuration. Also on the card are 3 potentiometers. The potentiometers have numbered dials that you can use to make an adjustment. The potentiometers have IDs and also descriptive labels. Ammeter, Volt, and Logic are the labels used to describe the potentiometers. To make the adjustments, have on hand a fully calibrated testing device with probes that are in good working condition. Do not use the probes if they have worn or missing insulation. When the adjustments are complete record the settings and keep them with the other important information about the daughter card.
