- Gate B test points: 9
- Cell status monitor points: 12
- Three FPGAs – one for each SCR bridge phase
Fiber Optic Network Benefits
- No electrical interference on signals
- Run cables next to 3-phase power lines safely
- Longer distance than copper networks
- Add up to two repeaters to double cable length
- Adjust signal power for cable length
Installation Guide
- Keep board in protective bag until use – static damages it
- Check bend radius of fiber cables. Tight bends break fibers or weaken signals.
- Mount board in clean, dry cabinet
- Use proper grounding for the chassis
- Do not force connectors – align gently
Maintenance & Diagnostics
- 30 test points let you check signals easily
- LED indicators help spot faults quickly
- Replace board as a unit – no field repairs
- Keep spare board for critical systems
Compatibility Note
- Works only with LS2100 series drives
- Not backwards compatible with older GE drives
- Check your drive manual before ordering
- Revisions AMD, AKD, AHD, AFC are drop-in replacements
Environmental & Handling
- Static sensitivity: High – use ESD strap
- Temperature range: 0 to 50°C typical for industrial cabinets
- Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
- Keep away from conductive dust

5 Professional FAQs
- Can I use DS200FGPAG1A with an older Mark IV drive?
- No. This board is not backwards compatible. It only works with LS2100 series.
- What happens if I bend the fiber cable too tightly?
- Signal loss or permanent cable damage occurs. Keep bend radius within spec.
- How many repeaters can I add to extend fiber length?
- You can add up to two repeaters. This can double the total cable length.
- Do you have the manual GEI-100223 with this board?
- Please contact us for manual availability. We can include a digital copy.
- What is the typical lifespan of this board?
- 10+ years in clean industrial environments. Static damage is the main failure risk.
Selection Guide – Pick the Right Gate Pulse Board
- Step 1 – Check your drive series: DS200FGPAG1A fits LS2100 only. Do not buy for other series.
- Step 2 – Count your fiber ports needed: This board has 15 ports. For smaller systems, consider DS200FGPAG1 with fewer ports.
- Step 3 – Match revision: Revisions AMD, AKD, AHD, AFC all work. Newer revisions include minor fixes.
- Step 4 – Verify supply voltage: Board needs 120 VRMS input. Check your cabinet power before install.
- Pro tip: Always use a grounded ESD strap when handling this board. One static shock can destroy the FPGAs.
