| Digital Interface | 2 digital inputs for external control; 4 digital outputs for status indication |
| Operating Temperature | –25°C to +60°C |
| Form Factor | 6U × 6HP (30mm) – requires 1.5 slots |
| Backplane Connector | Standard VME 96‑pin P1 + reinforced 60‑pin P2 |
| Status LEDs | 6 indicators: INPUT OK (green), OUTPUT OK (green), SYSTEM OK (green), FAULT (red), ANALYTICS ACTIVE (blue), HEALTH ALERT (orange) |
| Certifications | CE, UL 508 (non‑hazardous locations only) |
| Efficiency | ~76% at full load |
Critical note: The DS3800NTEA1A1A is the baseline temperature‑compensated power board with enhanced analytics. It is physically wider (6HP) than standard 4HP boards and requires 1.5 adjacent slots. Hot‑swapping is not supported.

Selection Guidelines & Precautions
-
Application Verification – Designed for precision instrumentation with enhanced analytics.
-
Physical Compatibility – 6HP wide, requires 1.5 adjacent slots.
-
Backplane Compatibility – Uses P1 and P2. If backplane lacks P2, analytics features unavailable.
-
Temperature Compensation – Requires 30‑minute warm‑up to achieve specified temperature coefficient.
-
Thermal Derating – Full output to 50°C; derate to 90% at 50–55°C, 80% at 55–60°C.
-
Spare Sourcing – Production ended in 2005. Request test report verifying outputs, analytics functions, and temperature stability. Inspect for capacitor bulging or discoloration. Consider upgrading to later NTEA revisions for higher capacity.
