Product Description
The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1N1K is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1N1K also is populated with 3 red indicator LEDs and 1 amber LED which are visible from the front of the board. The board also is populated with a microprocessor, erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules, and a 34-pin connector. It also is populated with 2 50-pin connectors.
The red indicator LEDs are a useful indicator of the health of the GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1N1K. The operator can see the red indicator LEDs while power is applied to the drive and the drive is in operation. The red indicator LEDs are each associated with a circuit on the board. Each circuit performs a function. When a red indicator LED is lit, the circuit is experiencing a fault and the function has stopped operating on the board.
A standard first step to resolve the issue is to power off the drive, open the retention levers, and remove the board from the modular connector. Then, connect the board to the connector, close the levers, and restart the drive.
When the GE Microprocessor Board DS3800HMPK1N1K is first powered on to start processing, the board performs some basic diagnostic tests before starting. This is to verify that the board is functional. When the amber LED is lit, the board has passed the basic diagnostic tests and is functional. The amber LED also indicates that power is applied to the board.
