DS3800HVDB1K1G

Product Description

The GE Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1K1G 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 Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1K1G also is populated with 1 20-pin connector between the retention levers. The board is also populated with multiple electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) modules and 15 jumpers.

The EEPROM modules store the firmware and other code that controls the processing on the drive. After you receive the original board, development continues on the firmware and programming instructions to improve the drive processing. The code is updated with fixes to resolve known errors. It is also made more reliable and updated with new features and functions. However, the latest code must be loaded onto the modules in the drive. Only then can the drive benefit from the code updates.

The modules can be updated without having to remove them from the board. That is, they can be electronically updated. This means that the operator can always use the latest firmware updates. The operator can also ensure the drive has the latest programming code.

However, the modules must be removed when the board is replaced. If the board cannot be repaired due to a component or circuit board malfunction, the best option is to replace the GE Video Driver Board DS3800HVDB1K1G. The replacement board comes  without modules installed in the module socket. Removal of the modules does not require special tools. Only use a screwdriver to pry off the module. To install a module, place it over the socket and press it into position.
