2 DESCRIPTION
This manual covers the operation of the configuration suite for 7200 and 7300 series modules. Separate manuals cover other DSE modules. The DSE7000 Series configuration suite allows the 7000 family of modules to be connected to a PC via USB A USB B cable. Once connected the various operating parameters within the module can be viewed or edited as required by the engineer. This software allows easy controlled access to these values and also has diagnostic monitoring facilities. The configuration suite should only be used by competent, qualified personnel, as changes to the operation of the module may have safety implications on the panel / generating set to which it is fitted. Access to critical operational sequences and settings for use by qualified engineers, may be barred by a security code set by the generator provider. The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the appropriate module documentation. This manual only details which settings are available and how they may be used. A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography elsewhere in this document).

Free entry boxes to allow the user to give the configuration file a description. Typically this is used to enter the job number, customer name, engineers name etc.
= Normal Operation, the safety on timer will be observed in full. This feature is useful if the module is to be used with some small engines where pre-mature termination of the delay timer can lead to overspeed alarms on start up. = The module will terminate the safety on timer once all monitored parameters have reached their normal settings. This feature is useful if the module is to be used as a standby controller as it allows the generator to start and go on load in the shortest possible time. NOTE: - Enabling Fast Loading is only recommended where steps have been taken to ensure rapid start up of the engine is possible. (For example when fitted with engine heaters, electronic governors etc.)
= The module will start with no audible indication = The module will give an audible warning during the pre-start sequence as an indicator that the set is about to run. This is often a sites specification requirement of AUTO mode operation. = Normal Operation, the warnings and pre-alarms will automatically reset once the triggering condition has cleared. = Warnings and pre-alarms latch when triggered. Resetting the alarm is performed by either an external reset applied to one of the inputs or, the Stop/Reset pushbutton must be operated (once the triggering condition has been cleared). =Normal operation =A configuration option which will allow the module to go into "sleep mode =Normal operation =Allows manual fuel pump control when the fuel level instrument page is being viewed. =Normal operation =Allows manual speed trim control when the engine speed is being viewed.

6.2.2
NOTE: - This feature is available only on DSE7000 Series modules, V2.2 and above. On previous version modules, the status screen is fixed. Configurable Status Screens allow the operator to design the status screen to match the requirements of the end user or application more closely. For instance it is possible to configure the module to show the factory set summary screen and then cycle the display to show instruments specified by the end user. This display cycling occurs with no user intervention. This is the page that appears automatically when the engine is running (either instrumentation or status)
These instruments are displayed one after the other when the set runs. If an entry is set to Not Used, or is not applicable, the entry is skipped over and not displayed.
6.2.3
EVENT LOG
NOTE: - This feature is available only on DSE7000 Series modules, V3.0 and above
6.3
APPLICATION
Allows selection of the Engine type being used (ie Conventional Diesel Engine, Gas Engine or Electronic Engine)
Configuration of the CAN data fail alarm, providing protection against the failure of the engine ECU data link.
Dual Mutual feature for a two set system, one set as standby should the master set fail.
6.3.1
Enhanced J1939
Where an instrument is not supported by the engine ECU, the instrument is not displayed. Alternative Engine Speed = The engine is instructed to run at its Nominal Speed as configured by the Engine Manufacturer. = The engine is instructed to run at its Alternative Speed as configured by the Engine Manufacturer. Modbus Engine Comms Port
NOTE: - This feature is available only on DSE7300 Series modules, V3.0 and above. RS485 Port : The modules RS485 port is used to communicate to the engine (when a Modbus engine type is selected. DSENet Port : The modules DSENet port is used to communicate to the engine (when a Modbus engine type is selected. This frees the RS485 port in case connection to BMS or other RS485 compatible equipment is required.
6.3.2
6.3.3
NOTE: - This feature is available only on DSE7300 Series modules, V2.0 and above. Application Options Dual Mutual Standby
Inactive The module operates as a standalone module Master The module operates as the Master in a Dual Mutual or Dual Mutual Standby system. Slave The module operates as the Slave in a Dual Mutual or Dual Mutual Standby system.
= No Load Balancing takes place. The master controller will always be master. = Load Balancing is enabled. Based upon the configuration of the load balancing time of the master controller, the engines will change over at regular intervals.
The master controller will run for the period of the Load Balancing Time. After this time, the master will call for the slave to run for the same duration. If the slave is not available, the master will continue to run.
6.3.3.1 OPERATION
If no mains supply is available (DSE7x10) or the mains supply has failed (DSE7x20), then the module configured as Master will start the generator set to power the load. If the Master module fails to start, or is unavailable due to maintenance, engine shutdown etc, the Slave module will start and take over from the Master to power the load. This operation depends upon the correct interconnection of the modules as follows. Configure a digital output of each module to Dual Mutual Standby. Use this output to drive an external slave relay. This relay should be normally open and close a battery negative signal to a digital input on the other DSE module. This DSE module should be configured to Dual Mutual Standby.
In case of set 1 failure, the output activates and energises the external relay RLY1 to call for the second set to start.
RLY1 contact closes a battery negative signal onto the input, instructing the set to start.
6.3.4
NOTE: - This feature is available only on DSE7300 Series modules, V2.0 and above. Auto voltage sensing instructs the controller to monitor the generators output during the safety delay timer. During this time, the controller identifies the nominal voltage, frequency and topology of the alternator output and selects the most appropriate alternative configuration to use. This is particularly useful where a generator is switched from 50Hz/60Hz or 120V/240V for example.
NOTE: - During the safety delay timer, the module factory set status page will display the L-N voltage, based upon the generator being 3 phase, 4 wire. This can lead to incorrect status display during the safety timer if Auto Voltage Sensing is enabled and the generator is not 3ph 4w. To prevent this, the status page can be customised to display other parameters if required (V2.2 modules or higher only). At the end of the safety timer, the correct voltages will be displayed.
Description = The module will operate as normal. = Auto voltage sensing is enabled. During the safety delay timer, the module attempts to measure the systems nominal voltage and frequency and determine the topology of the alternator wiring. At the end of the safety timer, the main and alternative configurations are analysed to see which one is most appropriate to suit the connected system and the module continues to operate, using the most appropriate configuration to provide protection.

NOTE:- This feature is available in module versions 4 and above. This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for Warning only, Protections Disabled, Run to Destruction, War mode or other similar wording. Options Enable Description = The module will operate as normal and provide engine shutdown if required. = Protections disabled function is activated. Operation depends upon the following configuration.
NOTE:-Writing a configuration to the controller that has Protections Disabled configured, results in a warning message appearing on the PC screen for the user to acknowledge before the controllers configuration is changed. This prevents inadvertent activation of the feature. Disable All Protections Never : The protections are not disabled Always : Protections are always overridden by the DSE controller. On Input : Protections are disabled whenever a configurable input set to Protections Disabled is activated If Disable All Protections is set to On Input, this selection allows configuration of an alarm to highlight that the protections have been disabled on the engine. Indication : Any output or LCD display indicator configured to Protections Disabled will be made active, however the internal alarm sound will not operate. Warning : Any output or LCD display indicator configured to Protections Disabled will be made active, and the internal alarm sound will operate. When protections are disabled, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator of this status.

6.4.7
Where a digital input is NOT configured as user configured, a selection can be made from a list of predefined functions. The selections are as follows: Under the scope of IEEE 37.2, function numbers can also be used to represent functions in microprocessor devices and software programs. Where the DSE input functions can be represented by IEEE 37.2, the function number is listed below. = Only applicable to DSE7220 / DSE7320 AMF Modules Function Description Alarm Mute This input is used to silence the audible alarm from an external source, such as a remote mute switch. Alarm Reset This input is used to reset any latched alarms from a remote location. It is also used to clear any latched warnings which may have occurred (if configured) without having to stop the generator. Alt Config 1-3 Select These inputs are used to instruct the DSE7300 Series module to follow DSE7300 Series V2.0.0 or above one of the alternative configuration settings instead of the main only configuration settings. Auto Restore Inhibit In the event of a remote start/mains failure, the generator will be IEEE 37.2 - 3 checking or instructed to start and take load. On removal of the remote start interlocking relay signal/mains return the module will continue to run the generator on load until the Auto Restore Inhibit input is removed. This input allows the controller to be fitted as part of a system where the restoration to mains is controlled remotely or by an automated system. Auto start Inhibit This input is used to provide an over-ride function to prevent the IEEE 37.2 - 3 checking or controller from starting the generator in the event of a remote interlocking relay start/mains out of limits condition occurring. If this input is active and a remote start signal/mains failure occurs the module will not give a start command to the generator. If this input signal is then removed, the controller will operate as if a remote start/mains failure has occurred, starting and loading the generator. This function can be used to give an AND function so that a generator will only be called to start if the mains fails and another condition exists which requires the generator to run. If the Auto start Inhibit signal becomes active once more it will be ignored until the module has returned the mains supply on load and shutdown. This input does not prevent starting of the engine in MANUAL or TEST modes. Auxiliary Mains Fail The module will monitor the incoming single or three phase supply for Over voltage, Under Voltage, Over Frequency or Under frequency. It may be required to monitor a different mains supply or some aspect of the incoming mains not monitored by the controller. If the devices providing this additional monitoring are connected to operate this input, the controller will operate as if the incoming mains supply has fallen outside of limits, the generator will be instructed to start and take the load. Removal of the input signal will cause the module to act if the mains has returned to within limits providing that the mains sensing also indicates that the mains is within limits. This input is used to give a Coolant Temperature High shutdown from a Coolant Temperature High switch digital normally open or closed switch. It allows coolant temperature protection using the switch and the analogue input can be used in parallel to give protection or configured to be used for indication only. Droop enable This input is used to switch the engine into droop mode on CAN engines that support this function. Dual Mutual Standby This input provides interface to another DSE7000 Series module to DSE7000 Series V2.0.0 or above achieve Dual Mutual or Dual Mutual Standby functionality. only This is described fully in the section entitled Module elsewhere in this manual.
Description For the French EJP (Effacement Jours de Pointe) tarrif system. This input is functionally identical to Remote Start Off Load. If this input is active, operation will be similar to the Remote Start on load function except that the generator will not be instructed to take the load. This function can be used where an engine only run is required e.g. for exercise. For the French EJP (Effacement Jours de Pointe) tarrif system. This input is functionally identical to Remote Start On Load. When in auto mode, the module will perform the start sequence and transfer load to the generator. If in Manual mode, the load will be transferred to the generator if the engine is already running, however in manual mode, this input will not generate start/stop requests of the engine. This input is used to provide feedback to allow the 7xxx to give true indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. It should be connected to the generator load switching device auxiliary contact. Action: Warning (Alarm only, No shutdown) This input is used to prevent the 7xxx from loading the generator. If the generator is already on load, activating this input will cause the 7xxx to unload the generator. Removing the input will allow the generator to be loaded again. NOTE: -This input only operates to control the generatorswitching device if the 7xxx load switching logic is attempting to load the generator. It will not control the generator-switching device when the mains supply is on load. This input is used to provide a means of disabling a scheduled run. This input is used to provide a test facility for the front panel indicators fitted to the 7xxx module. When the input is activated all LEDs should illuminate. This input is used to select the Main configuration when Alternative configurations are enabled. This input is used to provide feedback to allow the 7x20 to give true indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. It should be connected to the mains load switching device auxiliary contact. Incorrect application of this signal does not trigger an alarm condition, it is used solely for indication of the breaker status. This input is used to prevent the 7x20 from loading the mains supply. If the mains supply is already on load activating this input will cause the 7x20 to unload the mains supply. Removing the input will allow the mains to be loaded again. NOTE: -This input only operates to control the mains switching device if the 7x20 load switching logic is attempting to load the mains. It will not control the mains switching device when the generator is on load. Used to hold off transfer back to the mains after a mains failure and keep the generator on load. Transfer back to the mains supply is held off in Auto mode while the input is present. Typically, a key switch provides this input with spring return to closed functionality. A digital normally open or closed oil pressure switch gives this input. It allows oil pressure protection using the switch and the analogue input to be used in parallel to give protection or to be used for oil pressure indication only.
EJP2
DSE7000 Series V2.0.0 or above only
Lamp Test
DSE7000 Series configuration suite Function Panel Lock Description This input is used to provide security to the installation. If the External Panel lock input is active, the module will not respond to operation of the Mode select or start buttons. This allows the module to be placed into a specific mode (such as Auto) and then secured. The operation of the module is not affected and the operator will still be able to view the various instrumentation pages etc. (Front panel configuration access is still possible while the system lock is active).
NOTE: - External control sources (i.e. Simulate Start Button) are not affected by the external panel lock input and will continue to operate normally. Protection Disabled The system designer provides this switch (not DSE) so its location will vary depending upon manufacturer, however it normally takes the form of a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switch is operated. When active, and the module is suitably configured (see section entitled Application) this prevents the engine being stopped upon critical alarm (Sometimes called War Mode or Run to Destruction) If this input is active, operation will be similar to the Remote Start on load function except that the generator will not be instructed to take the load. This function can be used where an engine only run is required e.g. for exercise. When in auto mode, the module will perform the start sequence and transfer load to the generator. In Manual mode, the load will be transferred to the generator if the engine is already running, however in manual mode, this input will not generate start/stop requests of the engine. NOTE: - If a call to start is present when AUTO MODE is entered, the starting sequence will begin. Call to Start can come from a number of sources depending upon module type and configuration and includes (but is not limited to) : Remote start input present, Mains failure, Scheduled run, Auxiliary mains failure input present, Telemetry start signal from remote locations. This input mimics the operation of the Auto button and is used to provide a remotely located Auto mode push button. This input is used to provide a test facility for the front panel indicators fitted to the module. When the input is activated all LEDs should illuminate. The input also serves a second function, in that it also provides a mute signal to silence the audible alarm. The input is recognised by the module as though it was the Push button on the module itself being operated. This function is provided to override the modules internal monitoring function. If this input is active, the module will not respond to the state of the incoming AC mains supply. This input mimics the operation of the Manual button and is used to provide a remotely located Manual mode push button. This input mimics the operation of the Start button and is used to provide a remotely located start push button. This input mimics the operation of the Stop button and is used to provide a remotely located stop/reset push button. This input mimics the operation of the Test button and is used to provide a remotely located Test on load mode push button.
Simulate Manual Button Simulate Start Button Simulate Stop Button Simulate Test on load button
Description This input instructs the module to give a run at idle speed command to the engine either via an output configured to smoke limit or by data commands when used with supported electronic engines. Combined function input that instructs the module to enter STOP MODE and also perform the Panel Lock function. Once the input is active, the module will not respond to operation of the Mode select or start buttons. The operator will still be able to view the various instrumentation pages etc. (Front panel configuration access is still possible while the system lock is active). This input is used to transfer the load to the mains supply (AMF module) when running in MANUAL MODE or provide the Open Generator signal in a non AMF Module.) This input is used to transfer the load to the generator when running in MANUAL MODE

6.5.2
VIRTUAL LEDS
Allows configuration of status items. These items are not available for viewing on the module itself but can be seen in the SCADA section of the PC software, or read by third party systems (ie BMS or PLCs) using the Modbus protocol.
6.5.3
CONTROL LOGIC
Allows additional flexibility of output configuration by combining sources to create a new one. Three User Defined Controls are available that can be selected in the output source list for LEDs, Relay outputs or virtual LEDs. Imagine the schematic like a simple circuit with a battery and a bulb.
There are two switches (Output sources) in parallel to provide an OR function and one switch (Output source) in series to provide an AND function. When the conditions are satisfied, the bulb will illuminate (The User Defined Control will activate). Control blocks are processed in order (block 1, block 2 then block 3). This sequence repeats every 100mS. Careless setting of a control logic block can cause toggling of an output at a rate of 100mS on/off. This may shorten the life and/or cause damage to externally connected slave relays or other connected equipment.
An output configured to User Defined Control 1 will activate when the module is in Auto Mode AND when either Battery High Voltage OR Battery Low Voltage alarms are active Detailed description IF ( Battery High Voltage alarm is active OR the Battery Low Voltage alarm is active ) AND the module is in Auto Mode THEN the User Defined Control 1 is activated. Any output or LCD indicator configured to User Defined Control 1 will operate.
An output configured to User Defined Control 1 will activate when A Common Alarm occurs OR User defined control 1 is active so long as Digital Input A is inactive
Detailed description A warning alarm will cause User Defined Control 1 to become active if Digital Input A is not active. Subsequent resetting of the common warning (warning alarms are self resetting) will keep User Defined Control 1 active due to the loop around. The latch is reset by activating Digital Input A momentarily.
An output configured to User Defined Control 2 will activate when Alternative Config 1 OR 2 is selected
Detailed description IF Alternative config 1 is selected OR Alternative config 2 is selected THEN the User Defined Control 2 is activated. Any output or LCD indicator configured to User Defined Control 2 will operate.
An output configured to User Defined Control 3 will activate when Digital Input A AND B is selected
Detailed description IF Digital Input A Is active AND Digital Input B is active, THEN the User Defined Control 2 is activated. Any output or LCD indicator configured to User Defined Control 2 will operate.

START TIMERS
Click and drag to change the setting. Timers increment in steps of 1 second up to one minute, then in steps of 30 seconds up to 30 minutes, then in steps of 30 minutes thereafter (where allowed by the limits of the timer).
= Only available on DSE7220 / DSE7320 AMF Modules Description Timer Remote Start Off Load Remote Start On Load Mains fail Telemetry Start
Used to give a delay before starting in AUTO mode. This timer is activated upon the respective start command being issued. Typically this timer is applied to prevent starting upon fleeting remote start signals or short term mains failures. Note Modules versions before 5.x.x have only one Start Delay timer that applies to start commands from Remote start on/off load, mains failures and telemetry start requests.
Timer Mains Transient Delay Pre-heat Cranking time Crank rest time Smoke limit Smoke limit off
Description Used to delay the detection of mains failure. This is normally used to prevent short term transients or brownout conditions from being classified as a Mains Failure. Give a pre start time during which the Preheat output will become active (if configured) The length of each crank attempt The time between multiple crank attempts. The amount of time that the engine will be requested to run at idle speed upon starting. This is typically used to limit emissions at startup. This should be set to a little longer than the amout of time that the set takes to run up to rated speed after removal of the command to run at idle speed. If this time is too short, the set could be stopped due to underspeed failure. If the time is too long, underspeed protection is disabled until the Smoke limit time off time has expired. The amount of time at startup that the controller will ignore oil pressure, engine speed, alternator voltage and other delayed alarms. This is used to allow the engine to run up to speed before protections are activated. Allows for a temporary raising of the overspeed trip point at startup to prevent overspeed shutdown caused by slow acting speed governing systems. The amount of time that the set will run BEFORE being allowed to take load. This is used to warm the engine to prevent excessive wear.

= Only available on DSE7220 / DSE7320 AMF Modules Description Timer This timer has two functions Transfer time/ Load Delay
1: The time between the mains load switch being opened and the generator load switch being closed (and vice versa). 2. The time between the Load Shed Control outputs (if configured) being energised and the generator being placed on load (at startup). The amount of time that Breaker Close Pulse signals will be present when the request to close a breaker is given. The amount of time that Breaker Open Pulse signals will be present when the request to open a breaker is given. A delay, used in auto mode only, that allows for short term removal of the request to stop the set before action is taken. This is usually used to ensure the set remains on load before accepting that the start request has been removed. The amount of time that the set will be made to run OFF LOAD before being stopped. This is to allow the set to cool down and is particularly important for engines with turbo chargers. The amount of time the Energise to stop solenoid will be kept energised after the engine has come to rest. This is used to ensure the set has fully stopped before removal of the stop solenoid control signal. If the set is called to stop and is still running after the fail to stop delay, a Fail to Stop alarm is generated. Used to delay the generator under/over volts/frequency alarms. Typically this is used to prevent spurious shutdown alarms caused by large changes in load levels.

The Earth fault tripping curve is based upon EN 60255-3:1989 Type A. This is often referred to as a Normally Inverse tripping curve.
If the current exceeds the Trip level the Immediate Warning activates.
IDMT Alarm
IEEE 37.2 -51 AC time overcurrent relay (shutdown / electrical trip)
If the IDMT Alarm is enabled, the 7000 Series controller begins following the IDMT curve. If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the IDMT Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action). The higher the overload, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula :
T = t / ( ( IA / I T ) 1 ) 2
Where: T is the tripping time in seconds IA is the actual current of the most highly loaded line (L1 or L2 or L3) IT is the delayed over-current trip point t is the time multiplier setting and also represents the tripping time in seconds at twice full load (when IA / IT = 2).
Typical settings for the IDMT Alarm when used on a brushless alternator are :
t (time multiplier)
These settings provide for normal running of the generator up to 100% full load. If full load is surpassed, the Immediate Warning alarm is triggered, the set continues to run. The effect of an overload on the generator is that the alternator windings begin to overheat, the aim of the IDMT alarm is to prevent the windings being overload (heated) too much. The amount of time that the set can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is. See overleaf for details of the IDMT alarm factory settings and examples of different settings for the Time Multiplier (t). The IDMT alarm factory settings, allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour. If the set load is reduced, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled sufficiently. For further details on the Thermal damage curve of your alternator, you are referred to your alternator manufacturer.

If the Short Circuit alarm is enabled, the DSE7300 Series controller begins following the IDMT curve. If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action). The higher the Short Circuit, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula :
T = K x 0.14 / ( ( I / Is )0.02 -1 )
Where: T is the tripping time in seconds (accurate to +/- 5% or +/- 50ms (whichever is the greater)) K is the time multiplier setting I is the actual current measured Is is the trip setting value
Unbalanced loads cause negative sequence current in the alternator stator. These currents cause harmonics which can eventually lead to overheating and melting of the rotor. An unbalanced-load is, however, permissible within limits. For recommended settings you should contact your alternator manufacturer.

IEEE 37.2 -51 AC time overcurrent relay (shutdown / electrical trip)
If the IDMT Alarm is enabled, the 7000 Series controller begins following the IDMT curve. If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the IDMT Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action). The higher the overload, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula :
T = t / ( ( IA / I T ) 1 ) 2
Where: T is the tripping time in seconds IA is the actual current of the most highly loaded line (L1 or L2 or L3) IT is the delayed over-current trip point t is the time multiplier setting and also represents the tripping time in seconds at twice full load (when IA / IT = 2).
Typical settings for the IDMT Alarm when used on a brushless alternator are :
t (time multiplier)
These settings provide for normal use of the mains up to 100% full load. If full load is surpassed, the Immediate Warning alarm is triggered, the mains continues to power the load. The effect of an overload on the mains is that the supply cables and transformer windings begin to overheat, the aim of the IDMT alarm is to prevent them being overloaded (heated) too much. The amount of time that the cables can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is. See overleaf for details of the IDMT alarm factory settings and examples of different settings for the Time Multiplier (t). The IDMT alarm factory settings, allows for overload of the mains supply to the limits of typical supply cables whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour.

The number of starting attempts the module will make. If the module does not detect that the engine has fired before the end of the Cranking time, then the current start attempt is cancelled and the Crank Rest time takes place before the next crank attempt begins. If, after all configured start attempts, the engine is not detected as running, the Fail to Start shutdown alarm is generated. The engine is detected as running by checking all methods of Crank Disconnect. For further details, see the section entitled Crank Disconnect elsewhere in this document. If the speed sensing signal is lost during engine running, an alarm is generated : Shutdown: The generator is removed from load and the set is immediately stopped. Warning: The generator continues to run, however a warning alarm is raised.
To prevent spurious overspeed alarms at engine startup, the module includes configurable overspeed overshoot protection. This allows the engine speed to overshoot the Overspeed / Overfrequency setting during the starting process for a short time. Rather than inhibiting the Overspeed / Overfrequency alarms, the levels are temporarily raised by the Overspeed Overshoot % for the duration of the Overspeed Overshoot delay.

OTHER MODEMS When using modems not recommended by DSE first try either of the options shown above. If problems are still encountered, you should contact your modem supplier for further advice.
The module looks by default at the USB port for communications. When activity is detected on the RS232 or RS485 port, the module switches to look at the relevant port for further data. If no data activity is detected on the port for the duration of the master inactivity timer, it reverts to looking at the USB port. This should be set longer than the time between modbus polls from the master. The amount of time that is allowed to elapse between the alarm being registered and the controller dialling out with the fault.

8 ALARM TYPES
The protection included with the DSE control modules provides increasing levels of notification, depending upon the severity of the situation: Alarm type Indication Warning Description No audible alarm or common warning signal occurs. Indication alarms are only used to illuminate indicators or to activate outputs. Audible alarm and common alarm signal is generated. The set continues to run. Warning alarms are used to draw the operators attention to a minor issue or to a problem that may escalate to an Electrical Trip or Shutdown Alarm if left untreated. Audible alarm and common alarm signal is generated. The set is taken off load and the cooling timer begins, after which the set is stopped. Electrical Trip alarms are series issues that require the set to be taken off load. As the name implies, this is often electrical faults that occur after the load breaker. The set is allowed to cool before stopping. Audible alarm and common alarm signal is generated. The set is taken off load and immediately stopped. Shutdown alarms are serious issues that demand immediate stopping of the generator. For instance Emergency Stop or Overspeed alarms require immediate shutdown.
