Introduction
2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8003 series display
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
DSE8003 display module is used in conjunction with DSE8XXX controller. The DSE8003 display is
NOT a standalone module.
The DSE8XXX 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 DSE8XXX 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 (via fascia mounted
push buttons) or automatically.
Synchronising and Load Sharing features are included within the controller, along with the necessary
protections for such a system.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSE8XXX 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 a COMMON AUDIBLE ALARM. The LCD display indicates the fault.
The powerful microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
enhanced features:
Text and image based colour 7 TFT LCD display (800 x 480 pixels)
True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring.
Engine parameter monitoring.
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.
Direct connection to governor / AVR for synchronising and load sharing
R.O.C.O.F. and Vector shift for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the mains supply.
Using a PC and the Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational sequences,
timers and alarms.
Additionally, the modules integral fascia configuration editor allows adjustment of a subset of this
information.
A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via
locking plug and sockets.

Specifications
As modem/routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a
complete guide to their use with the DSE8XXX. However it is possible to give a description of the
requirements in generic terms. For details of how to achieve the connection to your modem/router
you are referred to the supplier of your modem/router equipment.
The DSE8XXX makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the
Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE config suite software..
You must configure your modem/router to allow inbound traffic on this port. For more information you
are referred to your WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer.
It is also important to note that if the port assigned (setting from software Modbus Port Number) is
already in use on the LAN, the DSE8XXX cannot be used and another port must be used.
As the DSE8XXX makes its user interface available to standard web browsers, all communication
uses the chosen port. It is usual for a firewall to make the same port outgoing open for
communication.
Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as the modem/router
gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public external network") and a local (or
"internal private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent
an entire group of computers.
For our DSE8XXX application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP
address we need to access the site from an external (internet) location.
When requests reaches the modem/router, we want this passed to a virtual server for handling, in
our case this is the DSE8XXX module.
Result : Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set
within the configuration software on the LAN (DSE8XXX) for handling.
NOTE: Refer to DSE8XXX series Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-119) for further
details on configuring, monitoring and control.

3.5 SOUNDER
DSE8003 module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and electrical
trip alarms.
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this is achieved by using the DSE8003 running
editor to configure an auxiliary output for Audible Alarm
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the modules internal
sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate in parallel with each other.
Either signal will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.

Operation
7 OPERATION
The following description details the sequences followed by a module containing the standard factory
configuration.
Remember that if you have purchased a completed generator set or control panel from your supplier,
the modules configuration will probably have been changed by them to suit their particular
requirements.
Always refer to your configuration source for the exact sequences and timers observed by any
particular module in the field.
44
Operation
This section describes the stages of control of a DSE synchronising and load sharing
controller
The engine starts and runs off load. If the analogue governor output is being used, this output is at
the level configured by SW1 in the SCADA | GENERATOR | GOV / AVR section of the PC
configuration software.
During this time the DSE module makes no changes to the engine speed.
In a Multiset system, after the warming timer has expired, the controllers communicate with each
other to ensure that only one module closes its breaker to the dead bus, even in the case of bus
sensing failure (missing connections, broken fuse etc). This is achieved using a virtual key and is
totally transparent to the user.
If configured to Adjust to nominal (frequency/voltage) in the modules configuration file, sets running
on load, but not in parallel, will automatically adjust the generator to produce the voltage and
frequency set as nominal in the modules configuration (Generator volts / frequency alarms page)
7.2.4 SYNCHRONISING
If the bus is measured as being live, the DSE module adjusts the generator voltage to be within the
Check sync RMS voltage window, and adjusts the engine speed to make the output frequency a little
higher than the existing generator bus. How much higher the frequency is, is set by the Slip
Frequency, on the SCADA page of the DSE configuration software.
The phase of the supplies is shown on the modules synchrosocope display and when the two
supplies are within the phase check window, the breaker is closed in parallel with the other supply.
During parallel operation, the modules communicate with each other to maintain an equal load share
as a percentage of the sets capacity. Additionally, the modules will also adjust the output of the sets
to produce the voltage and frequency set as nominal in the modules configuration (Generator volts /
frequency alarms page). It is important that each module in the system has the same settings for
both nominal voltage and nominal frequency.
45
Operation
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
In STOP mode, the module will immediately remove the generator from load (if necessary) before
stopping the engine if it is already running. No cooling run is provided for this operation. Where a
cooling run is required, switch to MANUAL mode and open the breaker manually. Allow the set to
cool off load, before pressing the STOP button to stop the engine.
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 or CANbus ECU (depending upon
module variant).
Generator frequency must be zero.
Oil pressure switch must be closed to indicate low oil pressure (MPU version only)
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 will be reset when STOP mode is entered.
The engine will not be started when in STOP mode. If remote start signals are given, the input is
ignored until AUTO mode is entered.
When configured to do so, when left in STOP mode for five minutes with no presses of the fascia
buttons, the module enters low power mode. To wake the module, press the button or any other
fascia control button.
46
Operation
NOTE: Depending upon system design, the ECU may be powered or unpowered when the
module is in STOP mode. ECU override is only applicable if the ECU is unpowered when in
STOP mode.
When the ECU is powered down (as is normal when in STOP mode), it is not possible to read the
diagnostic trouble codes or instrumentation. Additionally, it is not possible to use the engine
manufacturers configuration tools.
As the ECU is usually unpowered when the engine is not running, it must be turned on manually as
follows:
This is also useful if the engine manufacturers tools need to be connected to the engine, for instance
to configure the engine as the ECU needs to be powered up to perform this operation.
47
Operation
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
In STOP mode, the module will immediately remove the bus from load (if necessary) before
requesting the set(s) to stop if already running.
Any latched alarms that have been cleared will be reset when STOP mode is entered.
The engines will not be started by the DSE8X60 when in STOP mode. If remote start signals are
given, the input is ignored until AUTO mode is entered.
NOTE: The STOP mode button is not applicable to the DSE8680 thus is disabled.
48
Operation
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Activate auto mode by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this
action.
Auto mode will allow the generator(s) to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required
with no user intervention.
In auto mode, the bus-tie breaker will not close until Close Bus input is active
If either side of the common bus is dead, the bus-tie breaker is closed.
If either side of the common bus is measured to be a live bus, synchronising takes place before the
breaker is closed.
Once the bus-tie breaker is closed, it will not automatically open until the Close Bus input has been
de-activated
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to open/close bus (DSE8680
controller only)
Detection of mains failure (DSE8X60 controller only)
Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load or remote
start off load.
Request from DSE8X60 mains controller or from another DSE8X10 autostart controller over
the MSC link.
Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.
Instruction from external remote telemetry devices using the RS232 or RS485 interface.
To allow for false start requests such as mains brownouts, the start delay timer begins. There are
individual start delay timers for each of the different start request types.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit will return 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 will be cranked.
49
Operation
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECUs will receive the start
command via CAN.
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 begins. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to
Start.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the main alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel (Selected by PC using the 8XXX series configuration software).
Additionally, the module can be configured such that rising oil pressure or charge alternator voltage
will disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed using these values).
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
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.
DSE8X60 waits until the set(s) have started before further action is taken,
Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, begins, allowing the engine to stabilise
before accepting the load.
If the common bus is measured to be dead bus, the load breaker is closed.
If the bus is measured to be live bus, synchronising takes place before the breaker is closed.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
As the load increases and decreases, the DSE8XXX series module (may (depending upon
configuration) add dummy loads or remove non-essential loads. This is configured as part of the
Load Shedding and Dummy Load control settings in the DSE Configuration Suite Software.
See section entitled Dummy Load / Load Shedding elsewhere in this document for further details.
Additionally, when configured as part of a MultiSet package, the generator may be automatically
started and stopped depending upon load requirements.
If in doubt, consult your system supplier for details of how your particular system has been
configured.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
50
Operation
Once the bus is available, the Warm Up timer, if selected, begins, allowing the generator bus to
stabilise before accepting the load.
If the mains supply is not bus available, the load breaker is closed.
If the mains is available, synchronising takes place before the breaker is closed.
As the load increases and decreases, the DSE8X60 series module (may (depending upon
configuration) instruct the sets to automatically started and stop depending upon load requirements.
If in doubt, consult your system supplier for details of how your particular system has been
configured.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and is not just a short-term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down
period, the set(bus) will return on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is ramped off the
generator(bus), the breaker is opened and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set(s) to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is
particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
If the set(bus) is called to return to load before the cooling timer has expired, the Engine Running
operation is again followed.
After the cooling timer has expired, the set(s) is(are) stopped.
51
Operation
NOTE: If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Activate Manual mode by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms
this action.
Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set(s) manually, and if required change the
state of the load switching devices.
When in manual mode, the bus-tie breaker will not close automatically
To close the bus-tie breaker, press the button
If either side of the common bus is dead, the bus-tie breaker is closed.
If either side of the common bus is measured to be a live bus, synchronising takes place before the
breaker is closed.
Once the bus-tie breaker has been closed it will not be automatically opened unless the close/open
bus-tier breaker button has been pressed.
52
Operation
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECUs will receive the start
command via CAN.
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 will be terminated and the display shows Fail to

Additionally, the module can be configured such that rising oil pressure or charge alternator voltage
will disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed using these values).
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
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.
In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator(bus) unless a loading request is made.
A loading request can come from a number of sources:
Pressing the Close generator button.
Request from another DSE8X10 controller or DSE8X60 mains controller over the MSC link.
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.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine.
If the common bus is measured to be dead bus, the load breaker is closed.
If the bus is measured to be live bus, synchronising takes place before the breaker is closed.

8 PROTECTIONS
When an alarm is present, the Audible Alarm will sound and a marker is displayed next to the mute
button.
The Alarm popup box is colour coded to indicate the level of the alarm.
56
Protections
NOTE: Protections Disabled function is not applicable to the DSE8X60 and DSE8680
controller
User configuration of the DSE8X10 controlelr is possible to prevent Shutdown / Electrical Trip alarms
from stopping the engine.
Under such conditions, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator
of this status.
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.
When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature
either permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. 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.
The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. 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.
The module operation is unaffected by the Protections Disabled feature. See sections
entitled Indications and Warnings elsewhere in this document.
NOTE: The EMERGENCY STOP input and shutdown alarm continues to operate even
when Protections Disabled has been activated.
The alarm is displayed on the screen as detailed in the section entitled Shutdown alarms
elsewhere in this document.
The set continues to run.
The load switch maintains its current position (it is not opened if already closed)
Shutdown Blocked also appears on the LCD screen to inform the operator that the
Protections Disabled feature has blocked the shutdown of the engine under the normally
critical fault.
The shutdown alarm is logged by the controllers Event Log (if configured to log shutdown
alarms) and logs that the Shutdown was prevented.

Protections
8.2 WARNINGS
Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the operation of the generator system,
they serve to draw the operators attention to an undesirable condition.
In the event of an alarm the LCD will jump to the alarms page, and display all active warnings and
shutdowns.
By default, warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed. However enabling
all warnings are latched will cause warning alarms to latch until reset manually. This is enabled
using the 8XXX series configuration suite in conjunction with a compatible PC.
Not applicable to DSE8X60 controller : If the module is configured for, CAN and receives an error
message from the engine control unit, Can ECU Warning is shown on the modules display and a
warning alarm is generated.
NOTE: High Current Alarm is not applicable to DSE8X60 and DSE8680 controller
GENERATOR HIGH CURRENT, if the module detects a generator output current in excess of the
pre-set trip a warning alarm initiates. The module shows Alarm Warning High Current. If this high
current condition continues for an excess period, then the alarm escalates to a shutdown condition.
For further details of the high current alarm, please see High Current Shutdown Alarm.
By default, High Current Warning Alarm is self-resetting when the overcurrent condition is removed.
However enabling all warnings are latched will cause the alarm to latch until reset manually. This is
enabled using the 8XXX series configuration suite in conjunction with a compatible PC.
8.4 SHUTDOWNS
NOTE:Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See
the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.
Shutdowns are latching alarms and stop the Generator. Clear the alarm and remove the fault then
press Stop/Reset to reset the module.
NOTE: The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the alarm
condition remains, it will not be 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 will be low with
the engine at rest).
58
Protections
NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See
the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.
Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the
electrical trip condition the module will de-energise the Close Generator Output to remove the load
from the generator. Once this has occurred the module will start the Cooling timer and allow 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 stop the Generator. Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset
to reset the module.
