Advantages and Distinctive Features
-
Hybrid Output + Tachometer Feedback: Combines 8 high-voltage DC relay outputs (125VDC), 4 low-voltage solid-state outputs, AND 2 tachometer inputs on a single board.
-
Higher Relay Current (2A @ 125VDC): Supports more powerful 110–125VDC fans.
-
Improved Temperature Accuracy (16-bit ADC): ±1°C accuracy—double the precision of the base 12-bit (±2°C) model.
-
Extended Temperature Range: -20°C to +65°C supports moderately harsh environments.
-
Enhanced Tachometer Debounce Filtering (Revision B): Reduces false speed failure alarms.
-
Solid-State Auxiliary Outputs: Silent, maintenance-free switching for low-voltage fans or alarms.
Typical Application Fields
-
Safety-Critical 125VDC Cooling Systems: Where fan failure must be detected immediately.
-
High-Voltage Industrial Fan Systems: 110–125VDC exhaust fans with low-voltage auxiliary controls and speed monitoring.
-
Military & Naval Applications: 125VDC systems in shipboard environments.
-
Unheated Shelters & Outdoor Enclosures: -20°C to +65°C range.
-
Legacy Turbine Installations: Older systems using 125VDC fan motors.

Selection Recommendations
-
Choose the DS3800NHVH1B1B if:
-
You need 125VDC relay outputs with 2A current capacity for more powerful fans.
-
You also need low-voltage solid-state outputs (24–48VDC) for auxiliary fans or alarms.
-
You require tachometer feedback for fan speed verification.
-
You want improved temperature accuracy (±1°C) and enhanced tachometer filtering.
-
Your installation requires extended temperature range (-20°C to +65°C).
-
-
Choose the DS3800NHVF1B1A if: You need 250VDC relay outputs (1A) with the same hybrid + tachometer features.
-
Choose the DS3800NHVB if: You need 125VDC relay outputs (2A) without solid-state auxiliary outputs or tachometer feedback.
Critical Precautions
-
ESD Protection: Always wear a grounded wrist strap.
-
High-Voltage Hazard: Relay outputs switch 125VDC—lethal voltage present on terminals. Observe all high-voltage safety procedures. Use wiring rated for ≥125VDC.
-
DC Polarity (Relay): Relay outputs are DC only—observe correct polarity.
-
DC Polarity (SS): Solid-state outputs are DC-only and polarity-sensitive—reverse polarity destroys the MOSFET.
-
Tachometer Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair cable. The enhanced debounce filtering reduces noise sensitivity, but proper grounding is still essential.
-
Relay Current Limitation: Rated at 2A continuous @ 125VDC. Verify fan current does not exceed this limit.
-
SS Current Limitation: Rated at 2A continuous @ 24–48VDC.
-
Inductive Load Derating (Relay): Derate to 1.5A or use external RC snubbers (rated for 125VDC).
-
No AC Connection: Do not connect AC loads to either output type.
-
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—tachometer monitoring disabled in fallback mode.
-
Firmware Compatibility: Revision B firmware is compatible with Mark V CPU firmware v4.0 and above. For v3.x, the enhanced ADC accuracy and tachometer filtering may be partially disabled—confirm compatibility before purchasing.
