Description
Product Description
The GE IS200STAIH2A / IS200STAIH2ACB is a General Electric Mark VIe Simplex Analog Input Terminal Board designed for use with compatible GE analog I/O packs. The board provides the field termination and signal interface for analog instrumentation within the Mark VIe distributed I/O architecture. It supports 10 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, with the analog inputs accommodating 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire, and externally powered transmitters.
The board uses high-density plug-in terminal blocks and includes an onboard identification chip that allows the connected I/O pack to identify the terminal-board type for system diagnostics. The IS200STAIH2A is a simplex board and is documented for use with the IS220PAIC analog I/O pack family. GE documentation also identifies IS200STAIH2A as a compatible terminal-board accessory for IS220PAICH1A and IS220PAICH1B Mark VIe analog I/O packs.
The supplied eBay listing identifies the unit as Used, with the seller noting Clean and Tested and a 60-Day Warranty.

Troubleshooting & Safety
Troubleshooting
- Verify that the installed I/O pack is an appropriate IS220PAIC-family unit.
- Check all plug-in terminal connections for loose or damaged contacts.
- Verify transmitter wiring according to the selected 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire configuration.
- Check the analog-output jumper configuration before commissioning.
- Confirm that the I/O pack correctly identifies the STAI terminal board.
- Inspect the onboard ID chip and connector interface if the terminal board is not recognized.
- Compare the complete IS200STAIH2A / IS200STAIH2ACB marking with the original board before replacement.
Safety
- De-energize the applicable control and field circuits before installation or removal.
- Follow site lockout/tagout procedures.
- Use ESD protection when handling the PCB.
- Verify field-loop voltage before connecting transmitters.
- Do not change jumpers while the board is energized.
- Confirm analog signal polarity and terminal assignments before commissioning.
- For hazardous-location applications, verify the complete I/O pack and terminal-board combination against the applicable GE certification and installation requirements.
