About the DS3820LT4A1C1A
DS3820LT4A1C1A GE LoadTrak IV Module: The DS3820LT4A1C1A is a GE LoadTrak IV Module designed to be a part of a Mark IV Speedtronic system. Mark IV systems are used to control gas and steam turbine systems, although this product series unfortunately does not extend to further alternative energy or wind-geared applications, as later Mark Suite product series such as the Mark VI and VIe Series tend to. Mark IV components are no longer manufactured but can be purchased through AX Control as new never-used liquidated surplus and refurbished used parts. The Mark IV Series that this DS3820LT4A1C1AD printed circuit board modular assembly product offering belongs to was likely discontinued for production due to a manufacturer-identified functional series-wide obsolescence at some point in one of the many years following its initial rollout. Due to a lack of instructional documentation online, it is unknown whether or not this DS3820LT4A1C1AD product makes use of GE's patented Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the Mark I Series.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3820LT4A1B1A is a multi-function protective module that offers overload/overtemperature, instantaneous overcurrent, jam, phase reversal, ground fault, bearing over temperature, and phase unbalance protection. The unit can measure all motor RTDs using the unit’s internal relay. It has an internal microprocessor that allows the end user to load motor data and trip values to use in the setting of other protective standards. There is a terminal board mounted at the back of the unit to allow for wiring to external components. The front panel of the DS3820LT4A1B1A is designed with a small display screen in its top quarter quadrant. This allows data to be displayed locally. The unit has two LED indicators, labeled IM OK and TRIP, along with five input buttons labeled Dec, Inc, Reset, Scan/Enter, and Select. The front panel is marked with the GE logo and with the LodTrak IV imprint. For more details regarding the use, setup, or installation of the DS3820LT4A1B1A, refer to GE publications GEA-10618 or GEH-5600.

This DS3820LT4A1C1AD printed circuit board product offering was originally manufactured for a General Electric Mark product series, which means that is is accompanied online by a standard lack of originally-devised instructional manual materials. With this being known, the DS3820LT4A1C1AD device does benefit from its General Electric manufacture as it is able to indirectly illustrate a number of more-general DS3820LT4A1C1AD Board hardware component and component specification details through hedged functional naming segments. The DS3820LT4A1C1AD functional product number actually begins with a dual-functional initial naming segment in the DS3820 series tag indirectly delegating this DS3820LT4A1C1AD product's special Mark IV Turbine Control System Series assembly as well as its domestic original manufacture location. This dual-functional naming component is followed through an instance of the LT4A1 functional product acronym that was specially developed to describe this DS3820LT4A1C1AD device's further placement in the Mark IV Series' LoadTrak IV subseries. The final C, A, and D, digits in this DS3820LT4A1C1AD device's functional product number should point to this DS3820LT4A1C1AD device's ownership of a C, A, and D-rated significant product revision.
