Product Instructions

To ensure the reliable operation of the IS200SCLTH1ABB, adhere to the following procedures:

• Grounding: Proper grounding of the terminal board to the system common is essential to minimize signal noise and prevent ground loops.
• Shielding: Ensure that all analog signal cables are properly shielded and that the shields are terminated according to the Mark VI system grounding guidelines.
• Calibration: While the board itself is passive/conditioning, ensure that the connected I/O modules (such as the VAIC or VAMB) are calibrated via the GE Control Toolbox after installation.
• Handling: Use ESD-safe procedures at all times. Avoid touching the gold-plated connector pins to prevent contamination and oxidation.

Common Questions and Answers (Q&A)

Q: What is the purpose of the “ABB” suffix in the part number? A: The “ABB” represents the revision level. In GE’s nomenclature, this typically signifies a board that has undergone minor hardware improvements and features a “B” level conformal coating, making it more resistant to humidity and chemical exposure.

Q: Can this board be used with Simplex or TMR systems? A: Yes, the SCLT board is designed to support both Simplex and TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) configurations, though the wiring and number of boards required will vary based on the redundancy architecture.

Q: How do I identify a failure on the SCLT board? A: Since the SCLT is a termination board, failure is usually indicated by signal loss or “out of range” alarms on the HMI. Inspect the onboard fuses and check for physical damage to the terminal blocks or MOVs.
