Product Description

The GE Contactor Pilot Board DS200CPCAG1 features one 12-pin connector, and two 2-pin connectors. It also features four terminal blocks to connect a maximum of twelve signal wires. The terminal blocks require some special consideration when you are replacing the board. Each terminal block can accommodate a maximum of three signal wires. And when you remove them it is vital that you install them in the right location on the new board. Attach to each wire a sticker, tape, or note with the terminal block identifier for the terminal the wire is attached to. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw that secures the wire in the terminal. However, don’t remove the screw.

When you are ready to reattach the wires, use a screwdriver to open the terminal block opening enough so the wires can fit inside. Press the wire into the terminal and tighten the screw over the wire. Use the identifier to know which terminal to attach the wire to. Make sure the wires are not liable to come loose but don’t tighten them so that the wires are damaged or the terminal screws are damaged.

The board is also populated with a 24VDC socket power relay. When you are inserting the board into the drive cabinet and maneuvering it into position, make sure the relay doesn’t hit any metal structures or other components in the drive. The relay is a large component on the board and is sensitive to rough treatment and might be damaged.
