About the DS3860HAFA
The DS3860HAFA is a board component meant for use with the GE Mark IV Speedtronic system. The Mark IV was the first Speedtronic system to offer three identical sections (R/S/T) to carry out diagnostics and allow for two out of three voting. The MKIV can automatically take care of speed, temperature, sequencing, shutdown, and temperature control. The DS3860HAFA is no longer manufactured at GE plants, but it can be purchased through AX Control as new-used liquidated stock or as a reconditioned, fully tested used unit. The Mark IV Turbine Control System Series that this DS3860HAFA printed circuit board product belongs to has to be considered to exist as a functionally-obsolete legacy product series generally, as it was discontinued due to a series-wide functional series obsolescence at some point in the many years beyond its initial release. With this being the case, this DS3860HAFA device's Mark IV Series is still generally desirable on the greater automated industrial marketplace given its status as one of GE's final-developed Mark product series taking advantage of the patented Speedtronic control system technology mentioned above.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS3860HAFA is a type of Regulator board. Designed with a backplane connector on one short edge and extractor clips on the opposite leading edge, this rectangular board is heavily populated by a variety of components, including two additional right-angled cable connectors (both male,) TP test points, resistor network arrays, jumper switches, potentiometers, transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors. Capacitors are made from ceramic or electrolytic material. The board also has over twenty-five integrated circuits. Most components are marked with reference designators and may also be marked with other information such as their original manufacturer code. The surface of the board carries the GE logo, codes like CESS and 6BA03, and the board ID number. Technical support products (manuals, user guides) will provide a more in-depth look at information covered here. These products also provide step-by-step installation instructions and full information on proper handling. AX Control ships in-stock parts from our North Carolina warehouse daily, Monday through Friday. Order before three pm to ensure same-day shipping.
Given this DS3860HAFA printed circuit board product offering's initial classification within the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, a legacy General Electric product series, it is somewhat unsurprisingly not surrounded by a great amount of originally-printed instructional manual materials online. With this being the case, alternative methods of DS3860HAFA hardware component identification must be accessed, chiefly in the form of this DS3860HAFA PCB's DS3860HAFA functional product number that codes for a range of relevant DS3860HAFA Board specifications through its selection of General Electric-formulated functional naming segments. For instance, the DS3860HAFA functional product number is started off with a dual-functional naming segment in its DS3860 series tag responsible for delegating this DS3860HAFA printed circuit board's domestic location of original General Electric manufacture as well as its special modular style of Mark IV Series product assembly. This is of course not the only relevant hardware information retrievable from the entire DS3860HAFA functional product number however, as it also significantly makes mention of the HAFA functional product abbreviation created to exist as a convenient shorthand alternative to the DS3860HAFA extended functional product number itself. This DS3860HAFA device is available with warrantied protection upon an original purchase here.
