Description
GE DS3800HPRB Pulse Rate Input Module
Product Overview
The GE DS3800HPRB is a high-performance pulse rate input module engineered for industrial turbine control systems, specifically designed for GE’s Mark IV platform. As a critical component of the Mark IV architecture, this module converts pulse signals from sensors (e.g., speed probes, flow meters) into digital data for real-time monitoring and control in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy machinery applications. Its modular design and rugged construction make it ideal for harsh environments where reliability and precision are paramount 12.
Featuring 12 configurable jumpers and a trimmer resistor, the GE DS3800HPRB allows field technicians to adapt the module to diverse signal requirements, including varying pulse frequencies and voltage ranges. The board’s dual-sided modular connectors eliminate the need for external cabling, ensuring quick installation and reduced downtime. Built-in diagnostic indicators provide real-time status updates, enabling proactive maintenance and system optimization 115.
With compatibility across GE’s Mark IV systems, the GE DS3800HPRB integrates seamlessly with turbine control panels, PLCs, and distributed control systems (DCS). Its design prioritizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance and thermal stability, ensuring consistent performance in high-vibration environments typical of industrial settings 1216.
