Product Description

The GE Firing Circuit Control Board DS200FCRRG1AKD features 1 terminal block  with terminals for 95 signal wires. It also contains 10 2-pin connectors, 2 ribbon cables, and a programmable logic device. The IDs of the 10 2-pin connectors begin with a numerical value and end with PL. The numbers are assigned in sequence and are printed on the surface of the board for easy reference by the installer or servicer. For example, some of the IDs are 1PL, 5PL, 12PL, and 15PL. Because of the number of 2-pin cables attached to the connectors, it is important to record where the cables are attached before you disconnect them. Mark on the cables the ID of the connector it is attached to before you disconnect it. Then, when you are prepared to connect the cables on the replacement board, the task is fast and accurate. If you connect the 2-pin cables to the wrong connectors, you might not realise the error until you attempt to start the drive. This leads to more down time for the drive and a loss of productivity for the drive and other related activities performed at the site.

To remove signal wires from the terminal block, have on a hand a narrow flat blade screwdriver. Loosen the retention screw and pull out the signal wire. Make sure the signal wire has about 0.5 inches of insulation removed from the end of the wire. Best practice is to have all the bare wire inserted into the terminal. However, if less than 0.5 inches of insulation is removed, the connection might not be made between the terminal and the signal wire.
