Product Introduction
Protecting multi-million-dollar turbine and drive assets from catastrophic mechanical failure requires a highly reliable safety monitor, and the is engineered specifically for this critical role. Functioning as the Emergency Overspeed Board, this module continuously monitors the physical speed of the prime mover and evaluates flame detection signals.
Designed for deterministic safety responses, the processes real-time data against predefined thresholds. If the system exceeds safe rotational limits or detects a flame-out condition, the board instantly initiates a hardwired safety trip to shut down the drive or turbine. Built with a robust microprocessor, multiple PROM modules, and 30 configurable jumpers, it ensures precise integration into the Mark V safety architecture.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- Critical Safety Protection: Acts as the last line of defense against overspeed and flame-out conditions, preventing severe mechanical destruction and ensuring personnel safety.
- Configurable Hardware Architecture: Features 30 jumpers and 3 fuses, allowing field technicians to tailor the board’s trip logic and thresholds to specific turbine or drive configurations.
- Verified Functionality: Every undergoes a 24-hour live load test on a dedicated Mark V test rack before shipping, complete with a signed test report.
- Not Recommended For: Do not use this board as a standard I/O or control module. It is strictly a safety-critical trip monitor and must be paired with the correct Mark V system BOM.
- Stock Availability: Current inventory is factory-sealed new surplus with traceable lot numbers; typically ships within 48 hours of order confirmation.
- Warranty Backed: Includes a 1-year functional warranty covering manufacturing defects and DOA conditions, with no restocking fees for verified failures.

FAQ
Yes. All units in stock have passed our 24-hour live bench test and include a signed test report. We ship same-day for orders placed before 2 PM EST, so you’ll have tracking before end of day.
The is specifically designed for the Speedtronic Mark V ecosystem. Because it contains 30 jumpers and PROMs, you must verify that the jumper settings and firmware revisions match your existing system configuration before installation. Send us your system details, and we’ll confirm compatibility within 30 minutes.
How do I safely disconnect the bayonet connectors?
Critical Safety Warning: Never pull the cable to disconnect the bayonet connector, as this can damage the signal wires. Use one hand to grip the connector body and the other hand to hold the PCB firmly to prevent bending. Gently pull the connector straight out. Avoid letting the connector touch other board components to prevent scratching or bending.
Do I need to reconfigure the module after installation?
Yes. Because this board relies on physical jumpers and PROM modules, you must either transfer the PROMs and match the jumper settings from the legacy board, or ensure the new board’s factory configuration perfectly matches your Mark V BOM.
What if the module fails within the warranty period?
We offer a no-questions-asked replacement for any verified manufacturing defect. Ship the failed unit back with your RMA number, and we’ll send a replacement within 24 hours of receipt. We also provide a loaner program for critical turbine safety loops to minimize downtime.
Can this board handle high-interference environments?
Yes. The features conformal coating and robust isolation designed for harsh turbine environments. However, ensure the bayonet connectors are fully seated and locked, as vibration-induced connector oxidation is a common cause of intermittent false trips.
Is this a refurbished or new surplus unit?
This is New Original (New Surplus) – factory sealed, never installed, with full traceability to the original manufacturing lot. It is not refurbished, repaired, or pulled from a decommissioned system. We provide the original manufacturer’s lot code upon request for your quality records.
Quality Transparency SOP
- Incoming Verification: Source traceability confirmed via lot code; anti-counterfeit visual inspection; serial number cross-referenced with OEM records; accessories verified.
- Live Bench Test: Dedicated Mark V test rack; power-on self-check; overspeed threshold simulation; flame-out trip logic validation; 24-hour continuous load test; signed test report generated.
- Electrical Tests: Insulation resistance verified at 500V megger (>10 MΩ); ground continuity confirmed; fuse integrity validated.
- Firmware/Hardware Verification: PROM revision recorded; 30-jumper configuration backed up and documented.
- Final QC & Packaging: QC sign-off; anti-static seal applied; shock protection installed; QC Passed label affixed with date and inspector ID.
Test photos and video available upon request. We never claim “100% failure-free” – we provide verified, tested units with documented performance.
Technical Risk Avoidance
- Jumper/PROM Mismatch: Risk: Failure to trip during overspeed, or nuisance trips. Prevention: Verify the 30 jumpers and PROM revisions match the legacy board exactly. Field Note: We’ve seen turbines fail to trip because a replacement board had a single jumper set to the wrong position. Always map the jumpers.
- Connector Damage: Risk: Intermittent safety signals or broken pins. Prevention: Never pull by the cable; support the PCB when mating/unmating bayonet connectors. Field Note: A technician yanked the cable, tearing the signal wire inside the connector and causing a phantom overspeed fault. Handle with care.
- Backplane Seating: Risk: Safety communication failure. Prevention: Ensure the module is fully seated and locked onto the Mark V backplane. Field Note: A partially seated TCEA board caused the Mark V to register a “Board Missing” fault during vibration. Push firmly until the latch clicks.
- Blown Fuses: Risk: Board fails to execute a trip. Prevention: Verify the 3 onboard fuses are intact and correctly rated. Field Note: A previous short circuit blew a fuse, rendering the overspeed protection completely dead. Always check fuses during troubleshooting.
- ESD Damage: Risk: Silent microprocessor failure. Prevention: Use grounded wrist strap and anti-static mat during handling. Field Note: We’ve tested boards that passed power-on but had corrupted trip logic after 48 hours due to ESD. Handle with care.
