Functional Description

DS3800NRTA is an RTD Conditioning Board designed and developed by GE. It is part of Mark IV control system. An RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) Conditioning Board is a component used to interface with RTDs, which are sensors that measure temperature based on the change in electrical resistance of a material with temperature. The conditioning board is responsible for processing the raw signal from the RTD and converting it into a usable output, typically a voltage or digital signal, for further analysis or control.

Features

• The primary function is to condition the signal from RTD sensors, converting them into readable signals for the Mark IV control system. This is vital for precise temperature monitoring and control in systems.
• Extractor clips are inserted into two corners, enabling easy installation and removal of the board without causing damage to its components or the surrounding system.
• Equipped with a right-angled, female 218A4553-1 A/mp 102041-1 connector for seamless electrical connection to other components of the Mark IV control system. This connector ensures a secure, stable interface for transmitting temperature data.
• Ensures accurate temperature readings by conditioning RTD signals, allowing for effective temperature monitoring in various industrial systems.
• The extractor clips at two corners facilitate easy installation and removal, while the right-angled connector allows for better space management within the control panel.
• By providing stable and accurate temperature data, helps ensure smooth operation of critical machinery, preventing overheating or malfunction.
• Use diagnostic equipment to verify the accuracy of the RTD signal conditioning. Ensure that the output is within expected temperature ranges.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is DS3800NRTA?
It is an RTD Conditioning Board designed and developed by GE.

How does an RTD sensor work?
An RTD sensor measures temperature by detecting changes in electrical resistance. As temperature increases, the resistance of the RTD material (usually platinum) increases in a predictable manner.

Why is signal conditioning needed for RTDs?
RTD signals are usually low-level and require amplification, filtering, and linearization to be converted into accurate temperature readings. The conditioning board ensures that the signal is clean, amplified, and correctly translated into usable data.
