Features:
- Adds the last 46 contact inputs to the TCDA board in a Mark V LM digital core.
- Receives contact power through JY from the companion DTBA module.
- Uses JRR as the common expansion-bank signal connection to TCDA.
DS200DTBBG1A is the contact input expansion termination module for the Q11, Q21, and Q51 digital cores. It complements DTBA rather than duplicating the first input bank.
BJ1 through BJ5 isolate input groups from the 125 V DC source for testing. JRS and JRT are normally unused.
Contact-sense inversion is set in the TCDA I/O Configuration, allowing the logic state to follow the required failsafe convention.
Continued purchasing and documentation support for the General Electric DS200DTBBG1A Contact Input Expansion Termination Module remains available from Apter Power after manufacturer End-of-Life (EOL).

Last 46 contact inputs
- Expansion-bank assignment: DS200DTBBG1A carries the final 46 contact inputs associated with the TCDA board in the same digital core. These points follow the DTBA first bank in the controller input map.
- JRR boundary: JRR is the shared signal connection for the expansion bank. A full-bank loss should therefore be separated from a single terminal failure by checking JRR first.
- Channel alignment: Channel numbers, field conductors, and TCDA assignments must remain aligned when the expansion bank is reconnected.
JY contact-power source
- Upstream supply: Unlike DTBA, DS200DTBBG1A does not receive its 125 V DC contact power directly from TCPD. Its JY connector receives that supply from the companion DTBA board.
- Fault boundary: This arrangement creates a useful fault boundary: healthy DTBA points with a dead DTBB bank direct attention to the JY path and the DTBB side of the circuit.
- JRS/JRT boundary: JRS and JRT are normally unused and do not replace the JY operating supply connection.
BJ jumper behavior
- Expansion-bank isolation: BJ1 through BJ5 isolate groups of DTBB contact inputs from the 125 V DC source for testing. An open BJ group affects multiple points even when the field contacts and JRR cable are intact.
- Return position: Record the initial jumper map before a test and restore every group to its recorded position afterward.
- Residual point fault: If one point remains abnormal after the group supply is restored, test that field contact and conductor independently from the shared JRR path.
Separating wiring from configuration
- Fault layers: A missing physical state can originate at the field contact, the landed terminal, JY power, JRR connectivity, or the TCDA assignment. The pattern of affected points narrows the search.
- Logical reversal: An input that changes but appears logically reversed calls for review of the TCDA sense-inversion setting, not an immediate change to terminal polarity.
- Acceptance check: Validation is complete when every disturbed field contact produces the intended state at its mapped TCDA channel.
