Functional Description

DS3800NTIA is a Tachometer interface board designed and developed by GE. It is part of Mark IV control system. It provides the essential link between the tachometer and the Mark IV system, ensuring precise speed measurement data is communicated for real-time control. This helps maintain optimal turbine performance.

Features

• Equipped with a single amber LED that provides a visual indication of the board's operational status. The amber LED helps with troubleshooting by signaling specific system conditions, such as a potential fault or operational mode.
• The board features eight TP test points, which are used for diagnostics and testing. These test points help measure electrical signals, voltage, and other parameters, providing essential data for maintenance and troubleshooting.
• The board is designed as a Normal Assembly, meaning it is built to standard specifications for use in typical Mark IV control systems.
• Two retention clips are included with the board to ensure it is securely mounted within its designated slot in the control system. These clips help prevent the board from coming loose during operation and maintain stable connections, which is vital for reliable data communication.

Installation and Maintenance

• Secure the board in its designated slot within the control system. Attach the retention clips to ensure the board stays firmly in place during operation. Connect the tachometer and other relevant components according to system requirements.
• Monitor the LED for any changes in color or behavior, indicating potential issues. Periodically use the test points to measure voltages and signals for accuracy. Ensure that the retention clips and board connections remain intact during operation.
• If the amber LED does not light up or indicates an error, check the wiring and connections for issues. Use the test points to verify electrical signals and troubleshoot faults related to tachometer readings.
