Selection Recommendations
-
Choose the DS3800NHVD1C1B if:
-
Your fans operate on 220–250VDC high-voltage DC systems.
-
You want improved temperature accuracy (±1°C).
-
You need extended temperature range (-20°C to +65°C).
-
You do not require tachometer feedback.
-
-
Choose the DS3800NHVB if: Your fans operate on 110–125VDC systems.
-
Choose the base DS3800NHVD if: You need 250VDC capability without improved accuracy or extended temperature range.
Critical Precautions
-
ESD Protection: Always wear a grounded wrist strap.
-
Extreme High-Voltage Hazard: Switches 250VDC—lethal voltage present on output terminals. Observe all high-voltage safety procedures. Use wiring rated for ≥250VDC.
-
DC Polarity: Outputs are DC only—observe correct polarity.
-
Current Limitation: Rated at only 1A continuous. Verify fan current does not exceed this limit.
-
Inductive Load Derating: For inductive fan motors, derate to 0.75A or use external RC snubbers (rated for 250VDC).
-
No AC Connection: Do not connect AC loads.
-
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: Revision C firmware is compatible with Mark V CPU firmware v4.0 and above. For v3.x, the enhanced ADC accuracy may be partially disabled—confirm compatibility before purchasing.
