About the DS3820DIMA
The DS3820DIMA is part of General Electric’s Speedtronic Mark IV line. The gas and steam turbines are a fast way to provide energy and flexible fuel. A gas turbine builds pressure by using a combination of air and fuel in an internal combustion engine to create a mixture of gases to turn the turbine blades. A steam turbine uses a large boiler which is filled with water. The boiler is then heated to create large amounts of steam which then turns the blades of the turbine. The energy produced by the spinning turbine blades is then harnessed for other purposes. The DS3820DIMA has one large circular orange capacitor, two long blue capacitors. Capacitors are used to create an electrical field that holds extra energy for the DS3820DIMA to use later. The DS3820DIMA has six integrated circuits. The integrated circuits are split into two groups known as EPROM and EEPROM. An EPROM is an integrated circuit that holds the programming for the DS3820DIMA and is re-programmable as updates become available. The EEPROM is an integrated circuit that holds the programming for the DS3820DIMA and is not reprogrammable. The DS3820DIMA has small silver circular transistors and one large silver transistor. Transistors are used to amplify or change electronic signals and electrical power. The DS3820DIMA has over twenty-five resistors. Resistors are used to restrict the energy flow through the DS3820DIMA. The resistors have small colored rings around the outside. These rings are used to identify how much energy the resistors can withhold. The DS3820DIMA has a tall grey box that holds an additional circuit board. The DS3820DIMA has an auxiliary port that has a red square around the outside. The DS3820DIMA has a blue male terminal port and one large female terminal port.
** AX Control suggests referring to the original manufacturer's manual for all safety and installation methods. Technical support for the DS3820EPSA1A1A was initially provided by General Electric.
