Advantages and Distinctive Features
-
Fan-Dense Design (8 outputs, 4 T/C inputs): Optimized for cabinets where 8 fans serve a single zone with only 4 temperature sensors.
-
Solid-State Outputs: Silent, maintenance-free switching with unlimited cycle life.
-
Low EMI Emissions: Ideal for cabinets with sensitive analog or communication cards.
-
Cost-Effective: One of the most affordable solid-state fan control boards in the Mark V lineup.
-
CPU-Dependent Operation: No onboard logic—simple and easy to troubleshoot.
Typical Application Fields
-
Fan-Dense Control Cabinets: Where 8 fans cool a single zone with 4 sensors.
-
Climate-Controlled Indoor Installations: 0°C to +60°C range.
-

Selection Recommendations
-
Choose the DS3800NISA if:
-
Your fans are DC-powered (24V or 48V) with current draw ≤2A.
-
Your cabinet uses 4 temperature sensors for 8 fan outputs.
-
You do not require tachometer feedback.
-
You have a climate-controlled environment (0°C to +60°C).
-
The Mark V CPU handles all control logic.
-
Critical Precautions
-
ESD Protection: Always wear a grounded wrist strap.
-
DC Polarity: Solid-state outputs are DC-only and polarity-sensitive. Reverse polarity destroys the output MOSFET.
-
Voltage Limit: Do not exceed 48VDC—AC voltages cause catastrophic failure.
-
Missing T/C Channels: Only 4 thermocouple inputs (channels 1–4). Channels 5–8 are physically absent.
-
No Hot-Swap: Always depower the rack before insertion/removal.
-
Slot Assignment: Install in slots 8–10 (auxiliary I/O).
-
CPU Dependency: If backplane communication is lost, the board defaults to 100% fan speed.
-
Firmware Compatibility: Compatible with all Mark V CPU firmware versions (v3.x and above).
