DS200SDCIG2AEB

Product Description

The GE DC Power Supply and Instrumentation Board DS200SDCIG2AEB serves as an interface to DC2000 drives. The DS200SDCIG2AEB is a static-sensitive device and care must be taken when touching, maintaining, and installing the device. Static electricity can accumulate on the board through the air, persons touching the device, and when the device comes in contact with other device and structures. The static electricity can damage sensitive components on the board and lead the board to being unuseable.

If you plan to maintain the board, place the board on a flat clean surface and wear a grounding strap before touching the board. The grounding strap will prevent static electricity from accumulating.

Walking and touching items can cause static electricity to accumulate so it is best practice to not move too much before you work with the board.  When you do handle the board only hold it by the edges and never touch the solder points or the components. Just before you are ready to install it remove it from the package and touch it to a unpainted metal surface to drain off any static.  Only then is it safe to install the replacement board.

If you have to put down the board after removing it from the bag, only place it on top of the empty static-protective bag.

The capacitors on the DS200SDCIG2AEB can store high-voltage current even after the current is removed, so it is important to test the board for current before you touch it, so as to prevent electrical burns and shocks.
