About the DS200ADGIH1AAA
This DS200ADGIH1AAA product offering from General ELectric is a
printed circuit board originally manufactured for the Mark V
Turbine Control System Series, as referenced to in the brief
product description above. The Mark V Series that this DS200ADGIH1AAA printed circuit board or
PCB for short belongs to, as you may have been able to guess based
on its full extended series name, has a series of specific
applications in the management and control systems in General
Electric-compatible steam and gas turbine automated drive
assemblies. The Mark V Series that features this DS200ADGIH1AAA device, while
pertaining to newer-developed turbine control applications, can
still be considered obsolete as a whole, as it is a legacy GE
product series discontinued for manufacture due to a
retailer-introduced functional series obsolescence in one of the
many years past its initial release. While obsolete generally, the Mark V was one of the
lastly-developed GE product series to make use of the patented
Speedtronic control system technology first seen in the roll-out of
the before Mark I Series in the mid to later 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications DS200ADGIH1AAA
As with any product offering made available to the Mark V Turbine
Control System Series, this DS200ADGIH1AAA device's intended
functionality is introduced with its normal Mark V Series
assembly's acceptance of a specialized series of hardware
components and component specifications. The GE Auxiliary Interface Board DS200ADGIH1AAA features one 40-pin
connector, 60 jumpers, and one 6-pin connector. The GE Auxiliary
Interface Board DS200ADGIH1AAA also is populated with multiple test
points. The board is 8 inches in width. DS200ADGIH1AAA is 6 inches in
length and it is designed to be installed in the board cabinet of
the drive. It has four screws and they align with a location on the
board rack for installation with screws. This DS200ADGIH1AAA
product offering, as explained before, belongs to a now-obsolete
legacy product series. Because of this, it is not surrounded by any
great wealth of originally-printed instructional manual materials
online. With this being the case, the DS200ADGIH1AAA functional
product number itself can be identified as a decent primary source
of DS200ADGIH1AAA Board hardware component and component
specification information; coding for specific details in a
designed collection of functional naming segments. For example, the DS200ADGIH1AAA functional product number contains
details including this PCB's normal Mark V Series assembly, its
conformal coating style, and its three-fold product revision table
including three seemingly-identical A-rated product revisions.
The test points in this DS200ADGIH1AAA device's assembly provide a
means to test the circuits on the board. However, only a qualified
servicer should test the board. The servicer must have testing
equipment that is calibrated and designed for the task. The controls must be set properly and the probes must be designed
for use with the tester. Place the board on a flat surface and have
a protective bag under the board. Also, the DS200ADGIH1AAA Board servicer must wear a wrist strap at
all times because of the risk of static. When the wrist strap is
properly installed, one end of the strap is attached to your wrist
and the other end is clipped to a metal leg of a workbench or desk.
It can be attached to other metal structures too. The static is
attracted to the metal ground and exits the board or your body. Another appropriate step to lessen the buildup of static is to
avoid moving around while holding the board in your hands. The
friction of walking causes the static to build up. This is
especially true during cool and dry weather conditions. If a wrist strap is not available, you can also touch the static
bag with the board inside it to a metal structure, like a chair or
metal desk leg.
