Advantages and Distinctive Features
-
Solid-State-Primary Hybrid Architecture: 8 solid-state DC outputs + 4 mechanical relays on a single board.
-
Fan-Dense Design: 8 SS outputs + 4 relay outputs with only 4 temperature inputs—optimized for single-zone cooling.
-
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 Cold-Junction Compensation (Revision B): Improved temperature measurement reliability.
-
Silent, Maintenance-Free Solid-State Outputs: Unlimited cycle life for DC fans.
-
Relay Auxiliary Outputs: 2500V galvanic isolation for AC/DC auxiliary loads.
-
Low EMI Emissions: Solid-state outputs minimize interference with sensitive cards.
Typical Application Fields
-
Fan-Dense Mixed Fan Cabinets: Where DC fans are primary with AC/DC auxiliary devices.
-
Unheated Shelters & Outdoor Enclosures: -20°C to +65°C range.

Selection Recommendations
-
Choose the DS3800NOCA1B1B if:
-
You need 8 solid-state DC outputs (2A) for main fans.
-
You also need 4 mechanical relay outputs (AC/DC) for auxiliary devices.
-
You want improved temperature accuracy (±1°C).
-
Your installation requires extended temperature range (-20°C to +65°C).
-
Your cabinet uses 4 temperature sensors for 12 total outputs (fan-dense configuration).
-
You do not require tachometer feedback.
-
-
Choose the DS3800NOAA if: You need tachometer feedback with the same hybrid outputs.
-
Choose the DS3800NMSA1B1A if: You need 8 thermocouple inputs with the same hybrid outputs.
Critical Precautions
-
ESD Protection: Always wear a grounded wrist strap.
-
DC Polarity (SS): Solid-state outputs are DC-only and polarity-sensitive—reverse polarity destroys the MOSFET.
-
SS Voltage Limit: Do not exceed 48VDC—AC voltages cause catastrophic failure.
-
High-Voltage/Current Hazard (Relay): Relay outputs switch 115VAC/3A—lethal. Use proper insulation.
-
Relay Inductive Derating: For inductive loads, derate from 3A to 2A or use RC snubbers.
-
Missing T/C Channels: Only 4 thermocouple inputs (channels 1–4). Channels 5–8 are physically absent.
-
No Tachometer Inputs: Do not connect speed sensors.
-
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 B 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.
