Product Description

The GE Firing Circuit Control Board DS200FCRLG1AFC features 27 bayonet-type connectors. It is also populated with 27 jumpers, 1 34-pin connector, and 1 9-pin connector. The jumpers on the GE Firing Circuit Control Board DS200FCRLG1AFC configure the firing signals transmitted from the connectors. For that reason they are important and you must consider them when you replace the board. Each jumper can cover 2 of 3 jumpers on the board. The jumper can cover pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3. Depending on which pins are covered the behavior of the board is changed.

When the board from the factory is shipped, the package includes an installation guide with a description of each of the jumpers. It describes how the configuration changes if pins 1 and 2 are covered or if pins 2 and 3 are covered. The jumpers are identified on the board with the two letter ID, JP followed by a number. Some examples of jumper IDs are  JP1, JP4, and JP9. The installer will confer with the engineers and operators to determine how the drive should be configured to best meet the needs of the site. Once configuration is complete, the drive will perform as needed during normal processing.

To replace the drive, one step is to review the jumper settings on the old board and move the jumpers on the replacement board to match. Some of the jumpers will remain in the default positions, which are the positions in which the jumper arrives from the factory. They are often the most common settings.
