DS3800NHVK1A1A | New Surplus GE Turbine Control Board

Description

Product Introduction

The DS3800NHVK1A1A is an enhanced version of the high-voltage kontrol interface board—the NHVK with improved diagnostics. The suffix tells the story: the first “1” indicates a hardware revision with improved isolation and output driver protection. The “A” specifies the standard configuration. The second “1” adds enhanced diagnostic features (configuration verification, output monitoring). The final “A” is the standard environmental package (no conformal coating). This board was designed for installations where better diagnostic feedback was needed for high-voltage kontrol applications.

The enhanced diagnostics verify the board’s configuration and provide detailed status reporting on the control outputs. Compare this to the base DS3800NHVK (standard diagnostics). The 1A1A gives you the same basic functionality with better diagnostic feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the difference between the NHVK1A1A and the base NHVK?
The 1A1A adds enhanced diagnostics—configuration verification, output monitoring, and error logging. The base NHVK has basic link status only. The output monitoring gives you visibility into the health of each control output.

What’s the “Output Status” LED?
The Output Status LED indicates the health of the control output drivers. The board monitors output current and voltage. Green means all outputs are functioning correctly. Red means an output fault—check the actuator or valve wiring.

Do I need to upgrade my DMP firmware for the enhanced diagnostics?
The enhanced diagnostics require DMP firmware v3.0 or later. Older firmware won’t recognize the diagnostic registers. We can provide the firmware EPROMs if you need them.

What’s the voltage rating of this board?
The voltage rating depends on the specific configuration. Check the board’s label or your system documentation for the exact voltage rating.

Can I hot-swap this board?
No. Mark IV backplanes are not hot-swappable. Power down the cabinet, lock out the breaker, and wait 60 seconds before removing or installing the board.

What’s your warranty and lead time?
We stock the NHVK1A1A in limited quantities. Lead time is 1-2 business days. We offer a 1-year warranty. We test every board with a 24-hour burn-in and a diagnostic verification. The test report is included.

Is this board compatible with the Mark VIe?
No. This board is for Mark IV systems only. The backplane architecture is different.
