Description
🔹 Product Description
The GE DS3800HLND1C1C is a Network Control Board for the GE Mark IV Speedtronic turbine control system. It belongs to the DS3800HLND network controller family and provides board-level network control and communication functions within the Mark IV architecture. The board features a modular connector and retention levers for rack installation, along with three red front-visible indicator LEDs, eight jumper positions, and an EPROM module. It also includes one 40-pin connector and one 20-pin connector for ribbon-cable connections. The 1C1C hardware revision should be matched carefully with the existing board when replacing a legacy Mark IV controller.
