SPECIFICATIONS

Part Number: DS3800HRTA
Manufacturer: General Electric
Series: Mark IV
Product type: Pulse Rate Input Card
Availability: In Stock
Country of Manufacture: United States (USA)

Functional Description

DS3800HRTA is a Pulse Rate Input Card developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. It converts pulse rates into meaningful data such as speed, flow rate, or position. Often supports multiple input channels for monitoring several pulse signals simultaneously.

Features

• Memory Components: The card includes EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) for data storage and program execution. EEPROMs come pre-programmed for immediate use, while EPROMs can be updated via a small circular port on the top of the device. This design feature also helps differentiate between the two memory types.
• Indicator LEDs: The card is equipped with four small red LEDs that provide visual feedback by lighting up when an electrical current flows through them. These LEDs are essential for diagnostics and status monitoring.
• Connectivity: It features two male ports and one female port for interfacing with other circuit boards. These ports facilitate seamless integration within the control system.
• Mounting Points: Four contact points for secure installation within a system. These points ensure stability and reliability in various operational conditions.
• Component Labeling: All components on the board are clearly labeled with alphanumeric codes to aid in identification and troubleshooting.

Product Attributes

• Input Frequency Range: Supports pulse frequencies from a few Hertz (Hz) to several kilohertz (kHz), accommodating diverse applications.
• Voltage Compatibility: Accepts different signal levels, such as TTL (5V), 24V industrial standard, or even AC-coupled signals, ensuring adaptability to various sensors.
• Isolation: Electrical isolation between input channels and system circuitry to protect against voltage spikes and noise interference.
• Data Output: Offers outputs in digital or analog formats, or directly interfaces with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control systems (DCS).
