Product Description
The GE Simplex Trip Board DS200TCTGG1AEC is populated with 21 plug-in relays. It also has 3 50-pin connectors and 2 12-pin connectors. The IDs assigned to the 50-pin connectors are JLY, JLX and JLZ. The IDs assigned to the 12-pin connectors are JN and JM. The GE Simplex Trip Board DS200TCTGG1AEC is also populated with 1 bayonet-type connector. The signal cable that connects to the bayonet-type connector contains 2 separate wires with metal bayonets on the ends. The installer inserts one wire into each connector and firmly presses it into the connector. When secure it clicks into the connector. To remove it, pull it out of the connector.
Ribbon cables connect to the 50-pin connectors. Because there are multiple 50-pin connectors, there is an opportunity to connect the 50-pin connectors incorrectly when you replace the board. Incorrect installation will prolong the time the drive is offline and possibly increase the downtime for the other equipment around the drive also. To avoid any delay, shut down the power to the drive and examine how the cables are connected to the board before you remove it. Create temporary labels from masking tape or other means and write down the ID of the connector the cable is connected to.
Inspect the replacement board and notice that it is populated with connectors with the same IDs. Plan to connect the cables to the same connectors on the replacement board. Even if the board has the connectors located in different positions, the board will function the same.
