Product Description
The GE RST Analog I/O Board DS200TCQAG1BGE contains four 34-pin connectors, two 40-pin connectors, and six jumpers. The board also has 6 LEDs. The 34-pin connectors and 40-pin connectors on the GE RST Analog I/O Board DS200TCQAG1BGE are attached to ribbon cables and they send and receive signals to the other boards and components in the drive. Because the cables carry control signals, you must be careful to route ribbon cables away from power cables and away from other components in the drive that contain high voltage. This can cause interference in the signals which might lead to intermittent problems. A good policy is to route the cables exactly as they were routed when the original board was installed.
When you connect or disconnect a ribbon cable you must follow guidelines to prevent damage to the cables. Be aware that the fine wires that comprise the ribbon cable are attached to the plastic connector on the end of the cable. Any stress on the cable might cause the connector to detach from the ribbon so care must be taken. When you disconnect the ribbon cable, use one hand to hold the plastic connector and with the other hand support the board. Pull the ribbon cable out of the board. To reconnect the ribbon cable, use one hand to hold the plastic connector and press the connector into the connector located on the board. Never disconnect it by pulling on the ribbon cable which puts stress on the fine wires.
