About the DS3800HITA1F1F
The DS3800HITA1F1F is a printed circuit board from GE. The DS3800HITA1F1F is designed as a component-part in a Speedtronic Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, which, as you may have guessed based off of its full extended series name alone, possesses its own series of specific applications in the management and control systems of General Electric-compatible gas and steam turbine automated drive assemblies; not yet accepting the full wind energy-geared functionality of the later Mark V Series and beyond. This DS3800HITA1E1E product's greater Mark IV Series, while pertinent to turbine applications specifically, is also lauded on its greater general automated industrial marketplace due to its status as one of General Electric's final-developed Mark product series to make use of the patented Speedtronic control system technology first seen with the rollout of the Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s. With this being the case, this DS3800HITA1E1E device's greater Mark IV Turbine Control System Series must be considered obsolete as a whole given the fact that it was discontinued for manufacture by General Electric due to a company-identified functional series-wide obsolescence.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The Mark IV was designed with intentional redundancies built between chipsets to increase reliability and to 'build in' a controlled failure/recovery system. This keeps downtime caused by electronics failure minimized and run-time maximized. The DS3800HITA1F1F has 34 integrated circuits, including EPROMs, DIP components, and oscillators. It has seven jumper switches that allow the user to choose between A/B, on, off, and short, long. The board is populated with multiple small capacitors as well as metal film resistors of differing values. The DS3800HITA1F1F has been factory drilled in all four corners. It has been marked for alignment using letters (A through J) and triangular markings along its top edge. The codes 6DA03 and 6BA06 appear along its bottom edge. The DS3800HITA1F1F has been designed with nine LEDs located along its upper right edge. Eight of these are numbered (0-7) and one is labeled 'Imok." The numbered LEDs are red, and the other LED is amber. There is a row of test points located below the LEDs. These are either numbered (1-7) or labeled: tp8-ox. tp9-va. tp10-vb. tp11-vc. tp12-out0. tp13-out1. tp14-out2. tp15-dcom. The DS3800HITA1F1F has 4 resistor network arrays. It has one long AMP connector (218A4553-1) along one edge. Technical support, including data sheets and manuals, for the DS3800HITA1F1F was originally provided by GE. These publications are excellent references for installation instructions and safety precautions.
This DS3800HITA1E1E modular assembly product offering from General Electric belongs to the Mark IV Turbine Control System Series, one of General Electric's now-discontinued legacy product series. This DS3800HITA1E1E device, given its now-obsolete legacy product series attribution, is not surrounded by any great depth of pertinent, originally-printed instructional manual materials. With this in mind, the DS3800HITA1E1E functional product number itself can be considered a decently-viable option in terms of DS3800HITA1E1E Board hardware component and component specification analysis, as it codes for many of these through a specially-developed consecutive series of functional naming portions. The first portion in the DS3800HITA1E1E functional product number is dual-functional, as the DS3800 series tag serves to describe both this DS3800HITA1E1E product's domestic location of original manufacture as well as its special modular assembly version. This is immediately followed in the DS3800HITA1E1E functional product number through an inclusion of the HITA functional product acronym, which was created specifically to exist as a convenient conversational and promotional placeholder for the DS3800HITA1E1E lengthy functional product number itself. This promotional element is followed in the DS3800HITA1E1E functional product number by a series of non-standard designations that unfortunately seem to carry no true definition in General Electric instructional manual materials uploaded online.
