GE Mark V DS200TCEBG1ABC

Technical Parameters

Manufacturer: GE
Series: Mark V / Mark VIe
Channels: 16 differential
Input Range: -10 mV to +100 mV (Type J/K/T/E)
Cold Junction: Single onboard standard sensor
Isolation: 1500V AC
Accuracy: ±0.12% at 25°C, ±0.20% across full temperature range
Sampling: 5 Hz sequential
Temp Range: -25°C to +60°C (operating), -40°C to +85°C (storage)
Mounting: VME rack
Suffix “G1ABC”: Basic accuracy (0.12%) + G1 wiring + “ABC” coating package (typically indicates a specific conformal coating formulation or combination – often enhanced acrylic or silicone blend with improved moisture/chemical resistance over standard, but not full PTFE or military-grade)

Key Features

Standard accuracy – ±0.12% for general-purpose temperature monitoring
Specialized “ABC” coating – enhanced conformal coating offering improved moisture and mild chemical resistance compared to standard acrylic, suitable for moderately harsh environments
G1 wiring configuration – standard channel-to-terminal mapping matching most GE cabinets
Basic self-diagnostics – open-circuit and short-circuit detection per channel
Simple swap – no firmware changes required in most Mark V systems
LED status per channel + board health
Backward compatible with Mark V and Mark VIe (hot-swap only on VIe Rev D+)

Applications

Coastal power plants with moderate salt exposure – where standard coating may not be sufficient but full military-grade is unnecessary
Industrial environments with occasional chemical fumes – moderate protection against mild corrosives
High-humidity indoor installations – where moisture resistance is a priority
Paper and pulp mills – moderate chemical and moisture protection
Food processing plants – where cleaning chemicals are used but not aggressively

Comparison with Competitors

Selection Tips

Choose the DS200TCEBG1ABC if you need moderate environmental protection (better than standard acrylic but not PTFE or military-grade) with basic accuracy in a G1 cabinet
For standard environments, the DS200TCEBG1 is more economical
For severe chemical exposure, consider the DS200TCEAG1BTF (PTFE) or DS200TCEAG1BJE (military-grade)
For high accuracy needs with the same coating, upgrade to the DS200TCEAG1B with the ABC coating (if available)
Verify the exact coating specification – “ABC” may indicate specific GE internal coating codes; confirm with your supplier
Source refurbished units with coating inspection verification

Precautions

ESD sensitive – use wrist strap
Power down for Mark V removal (no hot-swap)
Torque terminals to 0.5 N·m max
Do not exceed -25°C to +60°C operating range
Avoid damaging the coating – scratches compromise protection
Do not use aggressive solvents for cleaning – the “ABC” coating may be vulnerable to acetone or MEK; use isopropyl alcohol only
Calibrate every 24 months – accuracy spec depends on valid calibration
Ground shields only at the board end
Verify thermocouple type – hardware optimized for J/K (T/E reduces accuracy to ±0.20%)
Label clearly – mark board and slot as “G1ABC – ENHANCED COATING” to ensure proper handling
