Product Description
This DS200FSAAG2ABA printed circuit board product offering was originally designed and manufactured for General Electric's Mark V Turbine Control System Series, as mentioned earlier. This DS200FSAAG2ABA PCB was developed to exist within the specific Mark V Series functional role as a Field Supply Gate Amplifier Board, although the original product of this specific Mark V Series functionality is the DS200FSAAG2A parent Field Supply Gate Amplifer Board missing all three of this DS200FSAAG2ABA device's three significant product revisions. As you may have been able to guess through analysis of its full extended series name, this DS200FSAAG2ABA printed circuit board or PCB for short's greater Mark V Series has specific applications in the management and control systems of compatible and popular wind, steam, and gas turbine automated drive assemblies. This DS200FSAAG2ABA product offering's greater Mark V Series has to be considered a now-obsolete General Electric legacy product series, as its manufacture has been discontinued due to obsolescence in the many years following its initial GE release. This DS200FSAAG2ABA PCB's Mark V Series, while a legacy product series, is still somewhat well-updated, as it is one of the final General Electric product series to make use of the Speedtronic control system technology first introduced with the rollout of the Mark I Series in the late 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As with any Mark V Series product offering made available to our new and reconditioned inventory here, this DS200FSAAG2ABA PCB's functionality is introduced with its internal assembly's acceptance of a specific series of functionality-enhancing hardware components. The GE Field Supply Amplifier Board DS200FSAAG2ABA features 5 jumpers, one 10-pin connector, and two fuses. It is also populated with multiple test points. Along with the 10-pin connector, the GE Field Supply Amplifier Board DS200FSAAG2ABA also is populated with four 2-pin connectors and so the board can be connected to multiple cables that must be disconnected and reconnected during the replacement. Luckily enough for the sakes of this DS200FSAAG2ABA product offering's personalized product page here, many of the aforementioned different styles of customizable hardware pieces in its normal Mark V Series assembly have been named in the DS200FSAAG2ABA original instructional manual attached above in the manuals tab for your convenience. As with any individual hardware components available to the assembly of this DS200FSAAG2ABA product, each of these pieces of hardware is accompanied by their own factory-printed nomenclature label. Some of this DS200FSAAG2ABA printed circuit board's customizable hardware includes:
- Two 30 A, 60 V fast-acting fuses
- Six total JP1-JP6-labeled Berg-type manually-moveable hardware jumpers
The jumpers in the assembly of this DS200FSAAG2ABA product offering have been factory-set to support the standard NRP default mode, although they are available to select for the NRP mode. This DS200FSAAG2ABA PCB's two total fuses are considered customizable as they can be mounted or dismounted with ease from this DS200FSAAG2ABA printed circuit board's manual-identified onboard fuse block. To avoid costly errors that might lead to increased downtime for the drive, and to make the replacement fast and easy, write on lengths of tape the identifier for the connector to which the cable is connected. Then, attach the tape to the cables. Only then should you disconnect the cables from the board. When you are ready to reconnect the cables, locate the connectors using the identifier and reconnect the cables. When you are disconnecting the cables follow some guidelines to prevent damage. Only grasp the cables by the connector end to remove it. If you pull from the cable portion it puts stress on the cable and might damage the cable by pulling out the wires. This is especially true of ribbon cables because the multiple wires are very fine and the connection from the ribbon to the connector is not well supported. When you reconnect them make sure the cables are fully seated in the connector so that all signals are able to pass through to the board. If a connector has retention clips to hold the board in place, make sure they are engaged.
