DS200UDSAG1

Product Description

The GE Excitation Board DS200UDSAG1 features one 1 80196 microprocessor and several erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules. The GE Excitation Board DS200UDSAG1 also is populated with 21 4-character displays and 32 LEDs.  

The board is also populated with several capacitors that during normal processing, do not require any special consideration. The capacitors store high-voltage current  and release in when needed for operation of the board. However, when a servicer is performing the maintenance procedure on the drive or if the board is being replaced, you must observe special guidelines concerning any board that is populated with capacitors. When power is removed from the drive, prior to removing the board, the capacitors might have high-voltage current residing in them. This could easily cause injury to the servicer. It might result in electric shock or burns. It could also lead to damage to components if the high-voltage current accidently enters the components. After 30 seconds the high-voltage current exits the capacitors and the board is then safe to touch. For this reason, wait 30 seconds before you begin the replacement procedure.

The board must be installed in a location that enables the drive operator to view the LEDs and the 4-character displays. For that reason, before you remove the old board note where it is installed and install the replacement board in the same place. The board is 8.5 by 11-inches in size and has 1 hole in each corner for screws that secure the board in the rack. When you remove the old board save the screws and use them again to install the replacement board.
