Introduction
2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE4610 & DSE4620
modules, part of the DSEGenset range of products.
The manual forms part of the product and should be kept for the entire life of the product. If the
product is passed or supplied to another party, ensure that this document is passed to them for
reference purposes.
This is not a controlled document. You will not be automatically informed of updates. Any future
updates of this document will be included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com
The DSE4xxx series is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common
platform. This allows the generator OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a
specific application.
The DSE46xx series module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator,
and if required, transfer the load to the generator either manually or automatically. Additionally, the
DSE4620 automatically starts and stops the generator set depending upon the status of the mains
(utility) supply.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSE46xx module monitors the engine, indicating the operational status and fault conditions,
automatically shutting down the engine and giving a true first up fault condition of an engine failure
by the LCD display.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
Icon based LCD display

True RMS Voltage
Current and Power monitoring (Not applicable to the DSE46xx-01 variant)
USB Communications
Engine parameter monitoring.
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
Magnetic Pickup Interface for engine speed measurement (optional).
Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational
sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the modules integral front panel
configuration editor allows adjustment of this information.
A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via
locking plug and sockets.
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 modules 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.

Specification
3.7.1 VA RATING OF THE CTS
The VA burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5VA. 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.
The distance between the CTs and the

measuring module should be
estimated and cross-referenced
against the chart opposite to find the
VA burden of the cable itself.
If the CTs are fitted within the

alternator top box, the star point
(common) of the CTs should be
connected to system ground (earth) as
close as possible to the CTs. This
minimises the length of cable used to
connect the CTs to the DSE module.
Example.
If 1.5mm cable is used and the
distance from the CT to the measuring
module is 20m, then the burden of the
cable alone is approximately 15VA. As
the burden of the DSE controller is
0.5VA, then a CT with a rating of at
least 15+0.5V = 15.5VA must be used.
If 2.5mm cables are used over the
same distance of 20m, then the
burden of the cable on the CT is
approximately 7VA. CTs required in
this instance is at least 7.5VA (7+0.5).
NOTE: Details for 4mm cables are shown for reference only. The connectors on the DSE
modules are only suitable for cables up to 2.5mm.

Specification
3.7.2 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 will lead 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 test orientation, run the generator in island mode (not in parallel with any other supply) and load
the generator to around 10% of the set rating. Ensure the DSE module shows positive kW for all
three individual phase readings.

TO GENERATOR TO LOAD
POLARITY OF CT PRIMARY
3.7.3 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 will result 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.
3.7.4 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 you wish to protect against, and
at the accuracy level you require.
For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P10 type) to maintain high accuracy while
the CT is measuring overload currents.
Conversely, if the DSE module is using the CT for instrumentation only (current protection is disabled
or not fitted to the controller), then measurement class CTs can be used. Again, bear in mind the
accuracy you require. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading.
To maintain this accuracy you should fit Class 0.5 or Class 1 CTs.
You should check with your CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting your CTs

The charge fail input is actually a combined input and output. Whenever the generator is required to
run, the terminal provides excitation current to the charge alternator field winding.
When the charge alternator is correctly charging the battery, the voltage of the terminal is close to
the plant battery supply voltage. In a failed charge situation, the voltage of this terminal is pulled
down to a low voltage. It is this drop in voltage that triggers the charge failure alarm. The level at
which this operates and whether this triggers a warning or shutdown alarm is configurable using the
DSE Configuration Suite Software.

NOTE: It is VERY important that terminal 10 (sensor common) is soundly connected to an

earth point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound
electrical connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an
earth connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a
SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point, to terminal 10 directly, and not
use this earth for other connections.
NOTE: If you use PTFE insulating tape on the sensor thread when using earth return
sensors, ensure you do not insulate the entire thread, as this will prevent the sensor body
from being earthed via the engine block.

Description Of Controls
5.1 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS
Icon Description
Stop / Reset Mode
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset Mode . This will clear any
alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine
is running and the module is put into Stop mode, the module will automatically
instruct the generator to unload (Close Generator and Delayed Load Output 1,
2, 3 & 4 become inactive (if used)). The fuel supply de-energises and the engine
comes to a standstill. Should any form of remote start signal be present while
operating in this mode, a start will not occur.
Auto Mode
This button places the module into its Auto Mode . This mode allows the
module to control the function of the generator automatically. The module will
monitor the remote start input and battery charge status and once a start request is
made, the set will be automatically started and placed on load (Close Generator
and Delayed Load Output 1, 2, 3 & 4 become active in order from lowest to
highest (if used)).
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will remove the load from the
generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer
as necessary (Close Generator and Delayed Load Output 1, 2, 3 & 4 become
inactive at once (if used)). The module will then await the next start event. For
further details, please see the more detailed description of Auto operation
elsewhere in this manual.
Manual / Start Mode
This button will start the engine and run off load. To place the generator on load,
digital inputs are required to be assigned to perform this function.
If the engine is running off-load in Manual/Start Mode button and a remote

start signal becomes present, the module will automatically instruct the
changeover device to place the generator on load (Close Generator and
Delayed Load Output 1, 2, 3 & 4 becomes active (if used)). Upon removal of the
Remote Start Signal, the generator remains on load until either selection of the
Stop/Reset Mode or Auto Mode .

5.2.7.2 ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARM ICONS
Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the
electrical trip condition the module de-energises all the Delayed Load Output and the Close Gen
Output outputs 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. The alarm must
be accepted and cleared, and the fault removed to reset the module.
Electrical trips are latching alarms and to remove the fault, press the Stop/Reset Mode button on
the module.
NOTE: The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the alarm
condition remains, it is not possible to reset the unit (The exception to this is the Low Oil
Pressure alarm and similar active from safety on alarms, as the oil pressure is low with the
engine at rest).

not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Stop/Reset Mode is activated by pressing the Stop/Reset Mode button.

The Stop/Reset icon is displayed to indicate Stop/Reset Mode operations.
In Stop/Reset Mode , the module removes the generator from load (if necessary) before stopping
the engine if it is already running.
If the engine does not stop when requested, the FAIL TO STOP alarm is activated (subject to the
setting of the Fail to Stop timer). To detect the engine at rest the following must occur :
Engine speed is zero as detected by the Magnetic Pickup.

Generator AC Voltage and Frequency must be zero.
Engine Charge Alternator Voltage must be zero.
Oil pressure sensor must indicate low oil pressure
When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE
Configuration Suite PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.
Any latched alarms that have been cleared are reset when Stop/Reset Mode is entered.
The engine is not started when in Stop/Reset Mode . If remote start signals are given, the input is
ignored until Auto Mode is entered.
When left in Stop/Reset Mode with no presses of the fascia buttons and configured for `Power
Save Mode`, the module enters Power Save Mode. To wake the module, press any fascia control
buttons or activate Digital Input A. The same is true for Deep Sleep Mode.

Operation
6.3 AUTOMATIC MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to external panel lock is active, changing module
modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Auto Mode is activated by pressing the Auto Mode button.

The Auto Mode icon is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operations if no alarms are present.
Auto mode allows the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with
no user intervention.
6.3.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins.

Starting requests can be from the following sources :
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start

Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.
6.3.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for false start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the
engine is cranked.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.
6.3.3 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine
Running icon is displayed.
The generator is placed on load if configured to do so.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
56
Operation
6.3.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and isnt just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down
period, the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is removed from the
generator to the mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is
particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the cooling timer has expired, the set is stopped.
57
Operation
6.4 MANUAL/START MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes is not
be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
6.4.1 WAITING IN MANUAL MODE
To begin the starting sequence, press the Manual/Start Mode button. If protected start is
disabled, the start sequence begins immediately.
If Protected Start is enabled, the Waiting in Manual Mode icon is displayed and the LED above
the Manual/Start Mode button flashes to indicate Waiting in Manual Mode.
The Manual/Start Mode button must be pressed once more to begin the start sequence.
Protected Start Mode setting in the

DSE Configuration Suite Software
6.4.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.
When the engine fires the starter motor is disengaged. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the main alternator output frequency.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect under
speed or over speed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High
Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise
without triggering the fault.
58
Operation
6.4.3 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine
Running icon is displayed.
In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator unless a loading request is made.
A loading request can come from a number of sources.
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start On Load or Auxiliary
Mains Fail.
Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for on load runs.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
Once the generator has been placed on load, it is not automatically removed. To manually remove
the load either:
Press the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode. The set observes all auto mode
start requests and stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping Sequence.
Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to remove load and stop the generator.
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Generator Load Inhibit.
6.4.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE
In manual/start mode the set will continue to run until either :
The Stop/Reset Mode button is pressed The delayed load outputs are de-activated
immediately and the set immediately stops.
The Auto Mode button is pressed. The set observes all auto mode start requests and
stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping Sequence.

Operation - Maintenance Alarm
6.5 MAINTENANCE ALARM

Depending upon module configuration one or more levels of engine maintenance alarm may occur
based upon a configurable schedule.
Example 1
Screen capture from DSE Configuration

Suite Software showing the configuration
of the Maintenance Alarm for Oil, Air
and Fuel.
When activated, the maintenance alarm

can be either a warning (set continues
to run) or shutdown (running the set is
not possible).
Resetting the maintenance alarm is

normally actioned by the site service
engineer after performing the required
maintenance.
The method of reset is either by:
Activating an input that has been

configured to Maintenance Reset
Alarm x, where x is the type of
maintenance alarm (Air, Fuel or Oil).
Pressing the maintenance reset

button in the DSE Configuration Suite, Maintenance section.
Pressing and holding the Stop/Reset Mode button for 10 seconds on the desired Maintenance
Alarm status page. This can be protected by a PIN number.

Operation - Scheduler
6.6 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and
stopping the set. Up to 8 scheduled start/stop sequences can be configured to repeat on a 7-day or
28-day cycle.
Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.
Example
Screen capture from DSE

Configuration Suite Software showing
the configuration of the Exercise
Scheduler.
In this example the set will start at

09:00 on Monday and run for 5 hours,
then start at 13:30 on Tuesday and
run for 30 minutes.
6.6.1 STOP MODE
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Stop/Reset Mode .
6.6.2 MANUAL/START MODE
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Manual/Start Mode waiting for a
manual start.
Activation of a Scheduled Run On Load when the module is operating OFF LOAD in
Manual/Start Mode will force the set to run ON LOAD.
6.6.3 AUTO MODE
Scheduled runs operate ONLY if the module is in Auto Mode with no Shutdown or
Electrical Trip alarm present.
If the module is in Stop/Reset Mode or Manual/Start Mode when a scheduled run
begins, the engine is not started. However, if the module is moved into Auto Mode during
a scheduled run, the engine will be called to start.
Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to
inhibit a scheduled run.
If the engine is running OFF LOAD in Auto Mode and a scheduled run configured to On
Load begins, the set is placed ON LOAD for the duration of the Schedule.

Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-
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.
The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
The Emergency Stop input is wired to an external normally closed switch connected to DC
negative.
NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link the input to the DC Negative or
disable the input. For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-
201 DSE46xx Configuration Software Manual.
To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent the engine from starting
(disable the operation of the fuel solenoid). After a visual inspection to ensure it is safe to
proceed, connect the battery supply. Press the Manual/Start Mode button the unit start
sequence will commence.
The starter will engage and operate for the pre-set crank period. After the starter motor has
attempted to start the engine for the pre-set number of attempts, the LCD will display Failed to
start. Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to reset the unit.
Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Press the Manual/Start
Mode button. This time the engine should start and the starter motor should disengage
automatically. If not then check that the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and that
the fuel solenoid is operating. The engine should now run up to operating speed. If not, and an
alarm is present, check the alarm condition for validity, then check input wiring. The engine
should continue to run for an indefinite period. It will be possible at this time to view the engine
and alternator parameters - refer to the Description of Controls section of this manual.
Press the Auto Mode button, the engine will run for the pre-set cooling down period, then
stop. The generator should stay in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal
present on the Remote start input.
Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence
will commence and the engine will run up to operational speed. Once the generator is available
the delayed load outputs will activate, the Generator will accept the load. If not, check the wiring
to the delayed load output contactors. Check the Warming timer has timed out.
Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence will begin. After the pre-set time, the
generator is unloaded. The generator will then run for the pre-set cooling down period, then
shutdown into its standby mode.
Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event
logging functions. For details of this procedure see section entitled Front Panel Configuration
If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the controller and the customers
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to the DSE

display
Check that the CTs are wired correctly with regards to the direction
of current flow (p1,p2 and s1,s2) and additionally ensure that CTs
are connected to the correct phase (errors will occur if CT1 is
connected to phase 2).
Remember to consider the power factor (kW = kVA x powerfactor).
The controller is true RMS measuring so gives more accurate

display when compared with an averaging meter such as an
analogue panel meter or some lower specified digital multimeters.
Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Generator

voltage full scale is 415V ph-N, accuracy is 4.15V (1% of 415V).

9.5 MISCELLANEOUS

Module appears to revert to When editing a configuration using the PC software it is vital that the
an earlier configuration configuration is first read from the controller before editing it. This
edited configuration must then be written back to the controller for
the changes to take effect.
When editing a configuration using the fascia editor, be sure to press

the the Auto Mode () button to save the change before moving
to another item or exiting the fascia editor
NOTE: The above fault finding is provided as a guide check-list only. As the module can
be configured to provide a wide range of different features, always refer to the source of your
module configuration if in doubt.
