Comparison
| Feature | DS3800HS1C | DS3800HPCA | DS3800HPBC | DS3800HMPK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs | 16 digital | 32 digital | 16 digital | 8 analog |
| Outputs | None | None | 8 digital | None |
| Voltage | 24/125V selectable | 24/125V selectable | 24/125V selectable | N/A |
| Type | Digital input | Digital input | Digital I/O | Analog input |
| Best For | Standard monitoring | High‑density monitoring | On/off control | Temperature |
Note: The DS3800HS1C is functionally similar to the DS3800HPCA series but with lower channel density (16 vs 32). The suffix “1C” may indicate a specific I/O configuration. Verify compatibility with your Mark V system before use.
Selection
| Scenario | Choice |
|---|---|
| Standard input monitoring (16 inputs) | DS3800HS1C – 16 inputs, no outputs. |
| High‑density input monitoring (32 inputs) | Use DS3800HPCA or DS3800HRCA. |
| Inputs + outputs required | Use DS3800HPBC (16 in / 8 out) or DS3800HPBD (32 in / 16 out). |
| Digital control (24V only) | Use DS3800HP1B. |
| Temperature monitoring | Use DS3800HMPK series. |
| TMR | Three identical HS1C modules. |
| Non‑GE | Do not use – VME only. |
Critical Precautions
-
Authenticate – Check GE hologram, serial number.
-
ESD – Wear grounded wrist strap.
-
Backplane – Verify +5V, +15V, -15V before insertion.
-
Voltage Selection – Verify field voltage (24V or 125V) matches module configuration.
-
Wiring – Use shielded cable; maintain separation from AC power.
-
Torque – 0.5‑0.6 Nm.
-
Temp – Keep rack <70°C.
-
Firmware – Factory‑programmed; cannot be field‑updated.
-
Sourcing – Obsolete; source refurbished from certified GE repair centers.
Final Summary
The General Electric DS3800HS1C is a standard‑density digital input module for GE Speedtronic systems, offering 16 optically isolated inputs with selectable 24V or 125V DC field power. It is ideal for monitoring limit switches, pushbuttons, and alarm contacts where outputs are not required. For high‑density input monitoring, use DS3800HPCA or DS3800HRCA. For applications requiring both inputs and outputs, use DS3800HPBC or DS3800HPBD. For temperature monitoring, choose DS3800HMPK. Source from certified repair centers.
