Series: Mark IV
Product type: Thermocouple Card
Availability: In Stock
Country of Manufacture: United States (USA)

Functional Description

DS3800NTCD is a Thermocouple Card designed and developed by GE. It is part of the Mark IV control system. These cards are designed to measure temperature by interpreting the voltage signals generated by thermocouples, which vary with temperature changes. They are commonly used in process control, automation, and data acquisition systems.

Features

• 17-pin male connector Designed for secure and stable electrical connections, allowing integration with other components within the system.
• 40-pin female connector Provides additional connection points, enabling the card to interface with multiple thermocouple inputs and external devices.
• Designed for durability and compactness, ensuring it withstands demanding industrial environments while minimizing the required installation space.
• Supports precise signal processing from thermocouples, translating raw temperature data into actionable insights for system monitoring and control.
• Supports various thermocouple types, such as Type K, J, T, E, N, S, R, or B.
• Provides multiple input channels for connecting multiple thermocouples simultaneously.
• Ensures accurate temperature readings by compensating for the temperature at the connection point of the thermocouple and the card.
• Includes advanced circuitry to minimize errors caused by noise or signal attenuation.
• Protects the system from electrical interference or potential damage caused by high voltages.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DS3800NTCD?
It is a Thermocouple Card designed and developed by GE.

What is cold junction compensation (CJC) in a thermocouple card?
CJC compensates for the temperature difference between the thermocouple’s hot junction (measuring end) and the cold junction (connection to the card). This ensures accurate temperature readings despite ambient temperature fluctuations.

How many channels do thermocouple cards typically support?
Thermocouple cards are available with various configurations, typically 4 to 32 channels, depending on the application’s requirements.
