1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE335 MKII module, part of
the DSEATS®range of products.
It is essential to keep this manual for the entire lifespan of the product. If the product is passed on or
supplied to another party, please ensure that this document is included for their reference.
This document is not considered a controlled document. Please note that updates to this document
are not automatically communicated. Any future updates to this document can be found on the DSE
website at www.deepseaelectronics.com.
The module has been designed to offer different levels of functionality on a shared platform. This
allows the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to have greater flexibility in selecting the
appropriate controller for a specific application.
The module has been designed to allow the operator to control the transfer of the load from Source 1
(S1) to Source 2 (S2), typically the mains supply and a standby generator either manually (via fascia
mounted pushbuttons) or automatically upon S1 failure. Additionally, if configured, the module can
automatically start and stop the generator set (S2) based on the status of S1.
The user also has the ability to monitor the system's operating parameters and view them on the LCD
display. This allows for the observation of power supplies and indicates the operational status and any
fault conditions of the module.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software allows alteration of selected operational sequences,
timers, alarms, and operational sequences. Additionally, the module’s integral front panel
configuration editor allows adjustment of this information.
Access to critical operational sequences and timers for use by qualified engineers, can be protected
by a security code. Module access can also be protected by PIN code. Selected parameters can be
changed from the module’s front panel.
The module is housed in a robust plastic case suitable for panel mounting. Connections to the module
are via locking plug and sockets.

NOTE: Details for 4 mm² cables are shown for reference only. The connectors on the DSE
modules are only suitable for cables up to 2.5 mm².
The VA burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5 VA. However, depending upon the type and length of
cabling between the CTs and the module, CTs with a greater VA rating than the module are required.
Example:
If 1.5 mm² cable is used and the
distance from the CT to the measuring
module is 20 m, then the burden of the
cable alone is approximately 15 VA.
As the burden of the DSE controller is
.5 VA, then a CT with a rating of at
least 15 VA + 0.5 VA = 15.5 VA must
be used. 0.5 VA, then a CT with a rating of at least 15 VA + 0.5 VA = 15.5 VA must be used. If 2.5
mm² cables are used over the same distance of 20 m, then the burden of the cable on the CT is
approximately 7 VA. CT’s required in this instance is at least 7.5 VA (7 + 0.5).
2.6.2 CT POLARITY
NOTE: Take care to ensure correct polarity of the CT primary as shown above. If in doubt,
check with the CT supplier.
Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the CTs. Incorrect CT orientation leads to negative kW
readings when the set is supplying power. Take note that paper stick-on labels on CTs that show the
orientation are often incorrectly placed on the CT (!). It is more reliable to use the labelling in the case
moulding as an indicator to orientation (if available).
To assess orientation, it is recommended to activate the source in island mode (if generator is
applicable) and gradually load the source to approximately 10% of the specified rating. It is important
to verify that the DSE module displays positive kilowatt (kW) readings for each of the three individual
phases.
TO SUPPLY TO LOAD
POLARITY OF CT PRIMARY
2.6.3 CT PHASING
Take particular care that the CTs are connected to the correct phases. For instance, ensure that the
CT on phase 1 is connected to the terminal on the DSE module intended for connection to the CT for
phase 1.
Additionally ensure that the voltage sensing for phase 1 is actually connected to generator phase 1.
Incorrect connection of the phases as described above results in incorrect power factor (PF)
measurements, which in turn results in incorrect kW measurements.
One way to check for this is to make use of a single-phase load. Place the load on each phase in turn,
run the generator and ensure the kW value appears in the correct phase. For instance if the load is
connected to phase 3, ensure the kW figure appears in phase 3 display and not in the display for
phase 1 or 2.
2.6.4 CT CLASS
Ensure the correct CT type is chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing overcurrent
protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level required to be protected against,
and at the accuracy level required.
For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P10 type) to maintain high accuracy while
the CT is measuring overload currents.
Alternatively, if the DSE module is solely utilizing the CT for instrumentation purposes, such as when
the current protection feature is deactivated or the controller is not equipped with it, measurement
class CTs are suitable for implementation. Again, bear in mind the accuracy required. The DSE
module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To maintain this accuracy fit
Class 0.5 or Class 1 CTs.
Check with the CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting the CTs.

NOTE: DSE stock 2 m (6.5 feet) USB type A to type B cable, DSE Part Number: 016-125.
Alternatively, they are purchased from any PC or IT store.
NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-367
DSE335 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
The USB B port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the controller.
Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then able to control the module, starting
or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.
Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
generator are available to be viewed or changed.
NOTE: The USB A port is not currently supported but is accessible in a future software
update.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 5 m (16 feet) the USB
connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which
is more suited to longer distance connections).
The RS485 port on the controller supports the MODBUS RTU protocol and is for connection to a
single MODBUS master device only.
The DSE MODBUS register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.
RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices) and
allows for connection to PCs, PLCs, and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2 km when using Belden
9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the
DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or
stopping the engine, selecting operating modes, etc.
The various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
engine are viewed or changed.
Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS485 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of
USB to RS485 convertors but is able to recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an
RS485 port.
NOTE: DSE recommend Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable for RS485 communication. This
is rated to a maximum cable length of 1.2 km. DSE Stock Belden 9841 cable, DSE Part Number:
016-030.

2.11 SOUNDER
NOTE: The unit does not come with an internal sounder, therefore an external sounder or
indicator must be installed if an audible indication is necessary.
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this is achieved by using the DSE Configuration
Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for Audible Alarm, and by configuring an auxiliary
input for Alarm Mute (if required).
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal
sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal Lamp Test / Alarm Mute button activate ‘in parallel’
with each other. Either signal mutes both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

The module is held into the panel fascia using the supplied fixing clips.
• Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until only the pointed end is protruding from
the clip.
• Insert the three ‘prongs’ of the fixing clip into the slots in the side of the module case.
• Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the module) ensuring all three prongs of
the clip are inside their allotted slots.
• Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they contact the panel fascia.
• Tighten the screws to a torque setting of 0.2 Nm to secure the module into the panel fascia.
Care must be taken not to over tighten the fixing clip screws.
Integral cable tie fixing points are included on the rear of the module’s case to aid wiring. This
additionally provides strain relief to the cable loom by removing the weight of the loom from the screw
connectors, thus reducing the chance of future connection failures.
Care is to be taken not to over tighten the cable tie (for instance with cable tie tools) to prevent the risk
of damage to the module case.
The supplied silicon gasket provides improved sealing between module and the panel fascia.
The gasket is fitted to the module before installation into the panel fascia. The sealing gasket has
locating holes for the locating pins on the plastic housing.
Take care to ensure the gasket is correctly fitted to the module to maintain the integrity of the seal.

The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes.
The log size has been increased in the module over past module updates and is always subject to
change. At the time of writing, the modules log is capable of storing the last 250 log entries.
Under default factory settings, the event log is configured to include all possible options; however, this
is configurable by the system designer using the DSE Configuration Suite software.
When the event log is full, any subsequent event overwrites the oldest entry. Hence, the event log
always contains the most recent events. The module logs the event type, along with the date and time
(or engine running hours if configured to do so).
To view the event log, repeatedly press the next page button until the LCD screen displays the
Event log :

5 OPERATION
NOTE: The following descriptions detail the sequences followed by a module containing
the standard ‘factory configuration’. Always refer to the configuration source for the exact
sequences and timers observed by any particular module in the field.
5.1.1 STARTING S2
…when S2 becomes
available, press the
S2 Breaker button to
transfer the load.
5.1.2 STOPPING S2
NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Start Inhibit Mode is activated by pressing the Start Inhibit Mode button.
The LED above the Start Inhibit Mode button illuminates to indicate Start Inhibit Mode
operation.
In Start Inhibit Mode , the module removes S2 or S1 from load (whichever is set as a priority)
and removes the start signal given to the generator controller (if S2 is configured as a generator and it
is running).
A S2 start request is initiated if it is set up as a generator regardless of S1's configuration. However,
there is no need for a Start Request for S1 if it is configured as a generator, as S1 functions as a
priority source and is anticipated to operate seamlessly without necessitating a start request.
If S2 is configured as a generator and it does not stop after the cooling down time, the Fail To Stop
alarm is activated (subject to the Fail To Stop timer being enabled and its duration). To detect the
generator (S2) is at rest the following must occur:
Any latched alarms that have been cleared are reset when Start Inhibit Mode is entered.
The standby source is not placed on load (or started if configured as a generator) when in Start
Inhibit Mode . If remote start signals are given, the input is ignored until Auto Mode is
entered.
NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
In Manual Mode , the module actives an output to give a start signal to an external generator
controller (if S2 is configured as a generator supply), and if required, change the state of the load
switching devices. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.
As soon as the Manual Mode button is pressed, the output to give a start signal to an external
generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a generator)
If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved loading voltage and frequency (if configured as a generator).
5.3.2 S2 AVAILABLE
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.
In Manual Mode , the load is not transferred to S2 unless a ‘loading request’ is made and the S2
supply is within limits (if configured as a mains supply) or achieve Loading Voltage and Loading
Frequency (if configured as a generator).
A loading request may originate from various sources.
• Pressing the Close/Open S2 button
• S1 supply out of limits
• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load
• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for ‘on load’ runs.
As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section entitled Error! Reference source not found. elsewhere in this document.
Once the load has been transferred to S2, it is not automatically transferred back to the S1 supply. To
manually transfer the load back to the mains either:
For further details of breaker control, see the section entitled Error! Reference source not found.
elsewhere in this document.
• Pressing the Start Inhibit Mode button to return to start inhibit mode.
• Pressing the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode.
NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
In Auto Mode mode, the module operates fully automatically, changing between the two supplies
in case of failure without user intervention. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.
To allow for ‘false’ start/load requests such as S1 brownouts, the Start Delay timer begins. There are
individual start delay timers for each of the different start/load request types.
When all start/load requests are removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by
state.
If a start/load request is still present at the end of the Start Delay timer, an output to give a start signal
to an external generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a generator).
If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured as a generator).
If a start/load request is currently in place but the starting sequence has not yet commenced, it is
possible that there is an active input configured for Auto Start Inhibit.
5.4.3 S2 AVAILABLE
In Auto Mode mode, the load is automatically transferred to S2 when it is within limits (if
configured as a mains supply) or achieve loading voltage and frequency (if configured as a
generator).
If a start/load request is detected but S2 fails to go on load, it is possible that there is an active input
configured for S2 Load Inhibit.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.
As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section entitled Error! Reference source not found. elsewhere in this document.
The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the start/load request has been permanently removed
and isn’t just a short term removal. In case another start request is made during the Return Delay (or
cooling down period when S2 is configured as a generator), the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the load is transferred back from
the S2 to the S1 supply, and the Cooling timer is initiated (when S2 is configured as a generator).
The Cooling timer allows S2 (when configured as a generator) to run off load and cool sufficiently
before the start signal to the external generator control unit is removed. This is particularly important
where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the Cooling timer has expired, the start signal given to the external generator controller is
removed..
NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Pressing the Mode button sets which of the three modes below to leave the controller in.
Activate by pressing the Mode button repeatedly until Test on Load is shown on the display, then
press the Tick button to confirm the change. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this
action.
The Test on Load mode starts S2 (if configured as a generator) and transfers the load to S2.
As soon as the Mode is selected and confirmed by pressing the Tick button is pressed, the
output to give a start signal to an external generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a
generator)
If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured as a generator).
5.5.1.2 S2 AVAILABLE
In Test on Load mode, the load is automatically transferred to S2 when it is within limits (if configured
as a mains supply) or had achieved loading voltage and frequency (if configured as a generator).
If a start/load request is detected but S2 fails to go on load, it is possible that there is an active input
configured for S2 Load Inhibit.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.
As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section Error! Reference source not found. elsewhere in this document.
• Pressing the Start Inhibit Mode button to return to Start Inhibit mode.
• Pressing the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode.
Activate by pressing the Mode button repeatedly until Test off Load is shown on the display, then
press the Tick button to confirm the change. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this
action.
The Test off Load mode only starts S2 (if configured as a generator) and leave it off load.
As soon as the Mode is selected and confirmed by pressing the Tick button is pressed, the
output to give a start signal to an external generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a
generator)
If the generator fails to start during the S2 Fail Delay timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured as a generator).
5.5.2.2 S2 AVAILABLE
In Test Off Load mode, the load is not transferred to S2 unless a ‘loading request’ is made and the S2
supply is within limits (if configured as a mains supply) or has achieved loading voltage and frequency
(if configured as a generator).
A loading request may originate from a number of sources.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.
As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section Error! Reference source not found. elsewhere in this document.
• Pressing the Start Inhibit Mode button to return to Start Inhibit mode.
• Pressing the Auto Mode button to return to Automatic mode.
Activate by pressing the Mode button repeatedly until Prohibit Return is shown on the display,
then press the Tick button to confirm the change. An LED indicator beside the button confirms
this action.
The Prohibit Return mode prevents the load being transfer back to the S1 from the S2 supply until the
module is instructed to do so.
To allow for ‘false’ start/load requests such as S1 brownouts, the Start Delay timer begins. There are
individual Start Delay timers for each of the different start/load request types.
When all start/load requests are removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by
state.
If a start/load request is still present at the end of the Start Delay timer, an output to give a start signal
to an external generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a generator).
If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured as a generator).
If a start/load request is present but the starting sequence has not begun, an input configured to ‘Auto
Start Inhibit’ may be active.
5.5.3.3 S2 AVAILABLE
In Prohibit Return mode, the load is automatically transferred to S2 when it is within limits (if
configured as a mains supply) or has achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured
as a generator).
If a start/load request is present but S2 does not go on load, an input configured to ‘S2 Load Inhibit’
may be active.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.
As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section Error! Reference source not found. elsewhere in this document.
If all start requests are removed the return delay commences. The status display shows “Waiting for
Manual Restore” after the return delay, and the load remains on the standby source.The user must
transfer the load back, either by changing to Auto mode (which causes the load to transfer and the
cooldown timer to start if the standby source is a generator) or changing to start inhibit mode (which
causes the load to transfer or immediately stop if the standby source is a generator).
In Return Inhibit mode, S2 continues to run on load even if S1 has return until either:
• Pressing the Start Inhibit Mode button to return to start inhibit mode.
• Pressing the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode.
5.6 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and
stopping the set. Up to 16 scheduled start/stop sequences may be configured in banks of 8 to either
repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle.
Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.
Example
• Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Start Inhibit Mode .
• Scheduled runs operate ONLY if the module is in Auto Mode with no Electrical Trip alarm
present.
• If the module is in Start Inhibit Mode or Manual Mode when a scheduled run begins,
S2 is not started (if configured as generator). However, if the module is moved into Auto
Mode during a scheduled run, S2 is called to start.
• Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input may be used to
inhibit a scheduled run.
• If S2 is Off Load in Auto Mode and a scheduled run configured to ‘Transfer to S2’
begins, S2 is placed On Load for the duration of the Schedule.
NOTE: When using Open Transition, it is recommended that digital inputs are configured
for S2 Closed Auxiliary and S1 Closed Auxiliary to provide additional interlock protection.
By default, the DSE module performs an open transition without check sync, with a pre-configured
transfer delay between opening one load switch and closing the other. When changing over from S1
to S2, the module requests that the S1 load switch opens. Once the S1 Closed Auxiliary indicates the
mains load switch has opened, the Transfer Time begins. After the Transfer Time expires, the module
attempts to close the S2 load switch. The operating philosophy is the same when going from S2 to S1
and the complete transition is shown below in the timing diagram.

NOTE: When using Open Transition, it is recommended that digital inputs are configured
for S2 Closed Auxiliary and S1 Closed Auxiliary to provide additional interlock protection.
NOTE: It is advised that the Return to Open Transition is enabled when Check Sync is
enabled. If Return to Open Transition is enabled, the module performs an open transition
without check sync if the supplies fail to drift into synchronism within the configured time. For
further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-367 DSE335 MKII
Configuration Software Manual.
It is possible to configure the DSE module to perform an open transition with check sync, with a pre-
configured transfer delay between opening one load switch and closing the other. When changing
over from S1 to S2, the module waits for the two supplies to become in sync (by passive or actively
synchronising depending on configuration). After the supplies become in sync, the module requests
that the S1 load switch opens. Once the S1 Closed Auxiliary indicates the S1 load switch has opened,
the Transfer Time begins. After the Transfer Time expires, the module attempts to close the S2 load
switch. The operating philosophy is the same when going from S2 to S1 and the complete transition is
shown below in the timing diagram.

NOTE: When using Closed Transition With Check Sync, digital inputs must be configured
for S2 Closed Auxiliary and S1 Closed Auxiliary.
NOTE: When using Closed Transition With Check Sync, mechanical interlock must not be
fitted. It is recommended that external electrical interlock provided but overridden using and
output configured as Interlock Override.
NOTE: It is advised that the Return to Open Transition is enabled when Check Sync is
enabled. If Return to Open Transition is enabled, the module performs an open transition
without check sync if the supplies fail to drift into synchronism within the configured time. For
further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-367 DSE335 MKII
Configuration Software Manual.
It is possible to configure the DSE module to perform a closed transition with check sync, with a pre-
configured parallel time when both load switches are closed. When changing over from S1 to S2, the
module waits for the two supplies to become in sync (by passive or actively synchronising depending
on configuration). After the supplies become in sync, the module requests that the S2 load switch
closes. Once the S2 Closed Auxiliary indicates the S2 load switch has closed, the Paralleling Time
begins. After the Paralleling Time expires, the module attempts to open the S1 load switch. The
operating philosophy is the same when going from S2 to S1 and the complete transition is shown in

When the Load Shed input is activated while S2 is closed the Open S2 output energises, it then de-
energises when the S2 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully opened, or after 1s
whichever occurs first.
When the Load Shed input is activated while S1 is closed the Open S1 output energises, it then de-
energises when the S1 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully opened, or after 1s
whichever occurs first.
When the Load shed input is de-energised the load is returned to the supply that was disconnected,
providing that supply is healthy.
The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps.
When S2 is selected as a generator source and is about to take load, the configured number of Load
Shedding Control Outputs at Start are energised. This allows certain none-essential loads to be
removed prior to the generator’s load switch being closed. This is used to ensure the initial loading of
the generator is kept to a minimum, below the Load Acceptance specification of the generator.
The generator is then placed on load. The Load Shedding Control scheme begins.
When the generator loading exceeds the Load Shedding Trip level the Trip Delay timer starts. If the
generator loading is still high when the timer expires, the first Load shedding Control output energises.
When the generator loading been above the trip level for the duration of the timer the ‘next’ Load
Shedding Control output energises and so on until all Load Shedding Control outputs are energised.
When the generator loading falls below the Load Shedding Return level, the Return Delay Time starts.
If the generator load remains below the Load Shedding Return level when the timer has expired, the
‘highest’ Load Shedding Control output de-energises. This process continues until all outputs have
been de-energised.
When the generator enters a stopping sequence for any reason, all the Load Shedding Control
outputs de-energise at the same time as the generator load switch is signalled to open.

6 PROTECTIONS
6.1 ALARMS
When an alarm is active, the LCD display jumps from the ‘Information page’ to display the Alarm Page
and the Common Alarm output if configured, activates.
The LCD displays multiple alarms E.g. “S1 Failure Warning”, “Fail to Stop Warning” and “Digital Input
A Electrical Trip”. These automatically scroll in the order that they occurred.
In the event of a warning alarm, the LCD displays the appropriate text. If an electrical trip then occurs,
the module again displays the appropriate text.
Example:-
1/2 Alarms
S1 Failed
Unlatched
Warning
2/2 Alarms
S1 Failed to Close
Start Inhibit: Failed to Close
Warning
6.2 INDICATIONS
Indications are non-critical and often status conditions. They do not appear on the LCD display of the
module as a text message in the Status, Event Log or Alarms pages. However, an output or LED
indicator is configured to draw the operator’s attention to the event.
Example:
Example
1/2 Alarm
S1 Failure
Latched
Warning
In the event of an alarm the LCD jumps to the alarms page and scroll through all active warnings and
alarms.
By default, warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed. However, enabling
All Warnings Are Latched causes warning alarms to latch until reset manually. This is enabled using
the DSE Configuration Suite in conjunction with a compatible PC.
Fault Description
Fault Description
Fail To Start S2 has not reached the configured limits or loading voltage and
frequency before the S2 Fail Delay timer has expired.
Fail To Stop The module has detected a condition that indicates that S2 is present
when it has been instructed to stop.
Loading Frequency Not Indicates that the S2 frequency is not above the configured loading
Reached frequency. S2 does not take load when the alarm is present after the
safety timer.
NOTE: The fault condition must be resolved before the alarm is allowed to be reset. If the
fault condition remains, it is not possible to reset the alarm (the exception to this is the
Coolant Temp High alarm and similar Active From Safety On alarms, as the coolant
temperature could be high with the engine at rest).
Electrical Trip Alarms are latching and unload S1 and S2 but in a controlled manner. On initiation of
the electrical trip condition the module de-activates the Close S1 Output and the Close S2 Output
to remove the load from the generator. Once this has occurred the module starts the Cooling Timer
and allows the engine to cool off-load before shutting down the engine. To restart the generator the
fault must be cleared, and the alarm reset.
Example
1/2 Alarms
Digital Input A
Latched
Electrical Trip
In the event of an alarm the LCD jumps to the alarms page and scrolls through all active alarms.
Electrical Trip Alarms are latching alarms and to remove the fault, press the Start Inhibit Mode
button on the module.
Fault Description

• Press the Start Inhibit Mode and Tick buttons together to enter the main configuration
editor.
NOTE: The PIN is not set by DSE when the module leaves the factory. If the module has a
PIN code set, the generator supplier has entered this. Contact the generator supplier if the
code is required. If the code has been ‘lost’ or ‘forgotten’, the module must be returned to the
DSE factory to have the PIN removed. A charge is made for this procedure. This procedure
cannot be performed away from the DSE factory.
NOTE: The PIN is automatically reset when the editor is exited (manually or automatically)
to ensure security.
• If a module security PIN has been set, the PIN request is then shown.
• Press the Tick button, the first ‘#’ changes to ‘0’. Press the Up or Down buttons to
adjust it to the correct value.
• Press the Right button when the first digit is correctly entered. The digit previously entered
now shows as ‘#’ for security.

8 COMMISSIONING
Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-
1. The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating
compatible with the system. Check all mechanical parts are fitted correctly and that all electrical
connections (including earths) are sound.
2. The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
3. To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent S2 from starting (if
configured as a generator by disconnecting the start output) and press the Manual mode
button. Check to see if the start signal energises.
4. Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event
logging functions.
5. Customers who are facing difficulties in obtaining desired operational results despite conducting
multiple checks on the connections between the controller and their respective system are
encouraged to contact DSE Technical Support for assistance.
6. Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence begins. After the pre-set time, the generator
is unloaded. The generator then runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then shutdown into its
standby mode.
7. Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event
logging functions.
