About the DS3800HIOA1B1A

The GE Input Isolator Board DS3800HIOA1B1A features a hole in each corner for installing the board with screws. The GE Input Isolator Board DS3800HIOA1B1A also is populated with a microprocessor and multiple erasable programmable read-only (EPROM) modules. The board has 1 34-pin connector that is accessible from the edge of the board. It also is populated with test points.

Because the board is populated with components that are sensitive to heat, it is important that the drive is installed in a location that is not excessively hot. The drive is installed on a wall or other surface.

When you select a location for installation, check the wall on which you want to mount the drive. If the wall is hot you can take steps to reduce the heat. Inspect the room on the other side of the wall and if it has wall-mounted equipment that generates heat, consider removing the equipment from the wall.

You can also install a hood to remove the heat from the room. Place the hood above the equipment and it will remove excessive heat and dust from the room. Also consider installing free-standing fans or wall-mounted fans. Make sure you add enough fans to remove the heat from the equipment. Another option is to mount the drive in a room with a lower temperature and less heavy equipment.

The drive will automatically power off if the interior of the drive is too hot. This protects the components from damage and prevents a fire hazard. However, it also reduces productivity and increases service costs.
