1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE7310 MKII & DSE7320
MKII 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. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of
this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com
The DSE73xx MKII 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 DSE73xx MKII 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 DSE7320 MKII 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 text LCD display.
The DSE73xx MKII 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 text LCD display.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite 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.

2 SPECIFICATION
2.1 OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Module Specification
DSE73xx MKII -30 ºC +70 ºC (-22 ºF +158 ºF )
Display Heater Variants -40 ºC +70 ºC (-40 ºF +158 ºF )
Description Specification
Range 0 V to 70 V DC (Maximum continuous operating voltage of 35 V DC)
Resolution 0.1 V
Accuracy 1 % full scale (±0.35 V)
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 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.
Labelled as Labelled as
p1, k or K p2, l or L
To Generator 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 over current
protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level required to protect against, and
at the accuracy level required.
For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P15 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 required. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To
maintain this accuracy, fit a Class 0.5 or Class 1 CT.

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.

lengths:
DSE Part number 020-012 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 2 ½” thread length
DSE Part number 020-013 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 4” thread length
Magnetic Pickup devices can often be ‘shared’ between two or more devices. For example, one
device can often supply the signal to both the DSE module and the engine governor. The possibility of
this depends upon the amount of current that the magnetic pickup can supply.

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: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & 7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
The USB 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 engine, selecting operating modes, etc.
Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the
engine are available to be viewed or changed.
NOTE: For direct connection an RS232 null modem (crossover) cable is required. This is
rated to a maximum cable length of 15 m.
The RS232 port on the controller supports the MODBUS RTU protocol and is for connection to a
single MODBUS master device only.
The MODBUS register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.
RS232 is for short distance communication (max 15m) and is typically used to connect the controller
to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.
The various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
engine are viewed or changed.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6 m (20 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).
Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS232 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of
USB to RS232 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an RS232
port.
NOTE: For GSM modems a SIM card is required, supplied by the GSM network provider:
For SMS only, a ‘normal’ voice SIM card is required. This enables the controller to send SMS
messages to designated mobile phones upon status and alarm conditions.
For a data connection to a PC running DSE Configuration Suite Software, a ‘special’ CSD
(Circuit Switched Data) SIM card is required that enables the modem to answer an incoming
data call. Many ‘pay as you go’ services do not provide a CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM
card.

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & 7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
NOTE: To connect two modules by RS232 for Dual Mutual Standby operation, a null
modem cable must be used.
The dual mutual system utilises the RS232 or RS485 hardware interface to allow multiple modules to
communicate to one another. The R232 port can be configured for connection to a modem or remote
monitoring equipment (i.e. Building Management System, PLC or PC RS232 port).
Using the RS232 port for dual mutual communication frees up the RS485 interface for connection to a
MODBUS engine or remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building Management System, PLC or PC
RS485 port).
While this is a very useful feature in some applications, the obvious drawback is that the RS232 port
is no longer available connection to a modem or remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building
Management System, PLC or PC RS232 port).
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.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6 m (20 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).
Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS485 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of
USB to RS485 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an

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.

DSE7310 MKII & 7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
The RS485 port can be configured for connection to Cummins MODBUS engines (Engines fitted with
Cummins GCS (G-Drive Control System)).
This leaves the DSENet® interface free for connection to expansion devices.
While this is a very useful feature in some applications, the obvious drawback is that the RS485
interface is no longer available connection or remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building Management
System, PLC or PC RS232 port) or dual mutual system.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243

NOTE: Screened 120 Ω impedance cable specified for use with CAN must be used for the
CAN link.
DSE stock and supply Belden cable 9841 which is a high quality 120 Ω impedance cable
suitable for CAN use (DSE part number 016-030)
The modules are fitted with a CAN interface as standard and are capable
of receiving engine data from engine ECU/ECMs compliant with the CAN
J1939 standard.
The ECU Port is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device and allows for
connection to CAN Scanner, PLC and CAN controllers (to name just a few devices). The operator is
then able to view the various operating parameters.

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & 7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
When the J1939-75 is enabled in the module’s configuration, the module’s AC measurements and
alarms are sent onto the CANbus using the ECU Port to be received by an external monitoring device.
There are two check boxes to enable each of the two parts of the interface as shown below, AC
measurement and AC related alarms. The module AC alarms are translated into J1939 DM1
diagnostic messages. There are no additional display screens visible on the module when these
options are selected.
The default CAN source address for additional J1939-75 messages is 44 however this may be
changed by the generator supplier.

NOTE: As a termination resistor is internally fitted to the controller, the controller must be
the ‘first’ unit on the DSENet® link. A termination resistor MUST be fitted to the ‘last’ unit on
the DSENet® link. For connection details, refer to section entitled Typical Wiring Diagram
elsewhere in this document.
NOTE: DSE recommend Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable for DSENet® communication.
This is rated to a maximum cable length of 1.2 km. DSE Stock Belden 9841 cable, DSE Part

As DSENet® utilises an RS485 hardware interface, this port can be configured for connection to
Cummins MODBUS engines (Engines fitted with Cummins GCS (G-Drive Control System)).
This leaves the RS485 interface free for connection to remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building
Management System, PLC or PC RS485 port).
While this is a very useful feature in some applications, the obvious drawback is that the DSENet®
interface is no longer available for connection to expansion devices.
2.11 SOUNDER
The module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, electrical trip and shutdown
alarms.
Description Specification
Sounder Level 64 db at 1 m
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be 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 number of logged Engine Hours and Number of Starts can be set/reset using the DSE
Configuration Suite PC software. Depending upon module configuration, this may have been PIN

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 make contact with the panel fascia.
Turn the screw a quarter of a turn to secure the module into the panel fascia. Care must be taken not
to over tighten the fixing clip screws.
Fixing clip
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,
reducing the chance of future connection failures.
Care must 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.
NOTE: For purchasing a silicon gasket from DSE, see the section entitled Maintenance,
Spares, Repair and Servicing elsewhere in this document.
The silicon gasket provides improved sealing between module and the panel fascia. The gasket is
fitted to the module before installation into the panel fascia. Take care to ensure the gasket is
correctly fitted to the module to maintain the integrity of the seal.

Icon Description
Stop / Reset Mode
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset Mode . This clears any
alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria has been removed. If the engine is
running and the module is put into Stop/Reset Mode , the module
automatically instructs the generator off load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes
inactive (if used on)) and place the mains on load (‘Close Mains Output’ becomes
active (DSE7320 MKII)). The fuel supply de-energises and the engine comes to a
standstill. Should any form of start signal be present when in
Stop/Reset Mode the generator remains at rest
Manual Mode
This button places the module into its Manual Mode . Once in
Manual Mode , the module responds to the Start button to start the
generator and run it off load.
To place the generator on load, use the Transfer to Generator button. The
module automatically instructs the changeover device to take the mains off load
(‘Close Mains Output’ becomes inactive (if used on DSE7320 MKII)) and place
the generator on load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes active (if used)). To
place the generator off load, use the Transfer to Mains or Open Generator
buttons. The module automatically instructs the changeover device to take the
generator off load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes inactive (if used on)) and
place the mains on load (‘Close Mains Output’ becomes active (DSE7320 MKII)).
Additional digital inputs can be assigned to perform these functions.
If the engine is running off-load in Manual Mode and on load signal becomes
active, the module automatically instructs the changeover device the changeover
device to take the mains off load (‘Close Mains Output’ becomes inactive (if used
on DSE7320 MKII)) and place the generator on load (‘Close Generator Output’
becomes active (if used)). Upon removal of the on load signal, the generator
remains on load until either selection of the Stop/Reset Mode or
Auto Mode .
Test Mode (DSE7320 MKII Only)
This button places the module into its Test Mode . Once in Test Mode , the
module responds to the Start button to start the generator.
Once the set has started and becomes available, it is automatically placed on load
(Close Mains Output becomes inactive (if used on DSE7320 MKII) and Close
Generator Output becomes active (if used)).
NOTE: For further details, see section entitled Operation elsewhere in this manual.
Icon Description
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 monitors
numerous start requests and when one has been made, the set is automatically
started. Once the generator is available, the mains is taken off load (‘Close Mains
Output’ becomes inactive (if used on DSE7320 MKII)) and the generator is placed
on load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes active (if used)).
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module starts the Return Delay Timer and
once expired, takes the generator off load (‘Close Generator Output’ becomes
inactive (if used on)) and place the mains on load (‘Close Mains Output’ becomes
active (DSE7320 MKII)). The generator then continues to run for the duration of the
Cooling Timer until it stops. The module then waits for the next start event.

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 or Previous Page buttons until the LCD
screen displays the Event Log page.
Warning
Press the Scroll Down button to view the next most recent event.
Continuing to press the Scroll Down button cycles through the past events after which, the
display shows the most recent alarm and the cycle begins again.
To exit the event log and return to viewing the instruments, press the Next or Previous Page

This section is included to give information about the RS232 serial port and external modem (if
connected).
The items displayed on this page change depending upon configuration of the module. Refer to the
system supplier for further details.
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS232 port to be enabled with no modem
connected, operating at 19200 baud, MODBUS slave address 10.
When the module is powered up, it sends ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is
important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the
module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the
modem does not ‘hang up’.
If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the
Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.
If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, once the modem is
dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings). Once the call is
established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.
If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.
NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the
modem to dial out to a PC.

Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator.
These are a useful troubleshooting tool.
In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an
ordinary telephone. There should be two rings, followed by the modem answering the call and then
‘squealing’. If this does not happen, check all modem connections and double check with the SIM
provider that it is a DATA SIM and can operate as a data modem. DATA is NOT the same as FAX or
GPRS and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
NOTE: In the case of GSM modems, it is important that a DATA ENABLED SIM is used.
This is often a different number than the ‘voice number’ and is often called Circuit Switched
Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
If the GSM modem is not purchased from DSE, ensure that it has been correctly set to operate at
9600 baud.
In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically reset
and initialisation is attempted once more:
In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display continuously
cycles between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and
attempts to communicate with it again, this continues until correct communication is established with
the modem. In this instance, check connections and verify the modem operation.

The modules operate as a MODBUS RTU slave device. In a MODBUS system, there is only one
Master, typically a PLC, HMI system or PC SCADA system.
This master requests for information from the MODBUS slave (The module) and may (in control
systems) also send request to change operating modes etc. Unless the Master makes a request, the
slave is ‘quiet’ on the data link.
The DSE MODBUS document containing register mappings inside the DSE module is available upon
request from [email protected]. Email the request along with the serial number of the DSE
module to ensure the correct information is sent.

mode. The
generator is stopped
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.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & DSE7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
In Stop/Reset Mode , the module removes the generator from load (if necessary) before stopping
the generator.
If the generator 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:
When the engine has stopped and the module is in the Stop/Reset Mode , 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 start signals are given, the input is
ignored until Auto Mode is entered.
If Immediate Mains Dropout is enabled and the module is in Stop/Reset Mode , the mains load
switch is opened and closed as appropriate when the mains fails or becomes available to take load.
When left in Stop/Reset Mode with no presses of the fascia buttons, no form of communication
active and configured for Power Save Mode, the module enters Power Save Mode. To ‘wake’ the
module, press any fascia control buttons.
Pressing the Start button in Stop/Reset Mode powers up the engine’s ECU but does not
start the engine. This can be used to check the status of the CAN communication and to prime the
fuel system.
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.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receives the start
command via CAN.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & DSE7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
Crank Rest Timer 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.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the AC alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel or from the CANbus link to the engine ECU depending on module
configuration.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the generator is available. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine and alternator.
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.
Once the generator has been placed on load, it is not automatically removed. To manually remove the
load either:
Press the Open Generator (DSE7310 MKII Only) or Transfer to Mains (DSE7320 MKII
Only) button
• 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.
In Manual Mode the set does not 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.
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.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receives the start
command via CAN.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & DSE7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
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.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the AC alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel or from the CANbus link to the engine ECU depending on module
configuration.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the generator is available. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine and alternator.
Once the generator has been placed on load, it is not automatically removed. To manually remove the
load either:
Press the Manual Mode button followed by the Open Generator (DSE7310 MKII Only) or
Transfer to Mains (DSE7320 MKII Only) button.
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE: If a digital input configured to external Panel Pock is active, changing module
modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by Panel Lock.
Auto Mode allows the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required
with no user intervention.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receive the start
command via CAN and transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-243
DSE7310 MKII & DSE7320 MKII Configuration Software Manual.
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.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be
derived from the AC alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel or from the CAN link to the engine ECU depending on module.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until the generator is available. This
prevents excessive wear on the engine and alternator.
The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and isn’t 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 transferred from the
generator to the mains supply and the Cooling Down timer is initiated.
The Cooling Down 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 Down timer has expired, the set is stopped.
5.6 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and
stopping the set or inhibiting the set from starting. Up to 16 scheduled (in two banks of 8)
start/stop/inhibiting start 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:
• Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Manual Mode waiting for a start
request.
• Activation of a Scheduled Run ‘On Load’ when the module is operating Off Load in Manual
Mode forces the set to run On Load.
• Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Test Mode waiting for a start
request.
• Scheduled runs operate only if the module is in Auto Mode with no Shutdown or
Electrical Trip alarm active.
• If the module is in Stop/Reset Mode or Manual 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 is 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.
The Dummy Load Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five dummy load steps. When
the set is first started, all configured Dummy Load Control outputs are de-energised. Once the
generator is placed onto load, the generator loading is monitored by the Dummy Load Control
scheme.
If the generator loading falls below the Dummy Load Control Trip setting (kW), the Dummy Load
Control Trip Delay begins. If the generator loading remains at this low level for the duration of the
timer, the first Dummy Load Control output is energised. This is used to energise external circuits to
switch in a resistive load bank.
The first dummy load has increased the generator loading. Again, the generator loading is monitored.
This continues until all configured Dummy Load Control outputs are energised.
When the generator loading rises above the Dummy Load Return level, the Dummy Load Return
Delay begins. If the generator loading remains at these levels after the completion of the timer, the
‘highest’ active Dummy Load Control output is de-energised. This continues until all Dummy Load
Control outputs have been de-energised.
When the generator enters a stopping sequence for any reason, all the Dummy Load Control outputs
de-energise at the same time as the generator load switch is signalled to open.
Example screen shot of Dummy Load Control setup in the DSE Configuration Suite
The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps.
When the generator is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at
Start will energise. 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 will start. 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.
Example screen shot of Load Shedding Control setup in the DSE Configuration Suite:
NOTE: Multiple SMS Control Commands CANNOT be sent in a single SMS message.

3 Cancel the SMS start request leaving the module in its current operating mode.
4 Put the module into the Stop/Reset Mode .
5 Put the module into the Auto Mode .
To send an SMS command, the user requires (if configured) the SMS Control Pin and the Control
Command Number. Only these numbers must be included in the SMS, the module does not respond
to any SMS with extra characters or missing PIN (if configured). Below is an example showing how to
start and run the generator on load by SMS message.
NOTE: There MUST be a space between the SMS PIN and the Control Command Number
SMS Message 1
0123 5 This SMS message places the module into the Auto Mode .
SMS Message 2
This SMS message will start generator and run it on load.
0123 2
SMS Message 3 This SMS message will remove the start and run command given by the
0123 3 previous SMS message and leave the module in the Auto Mode .
SMS Message 4
0123 4 This SMS message will place the module into the Stop/Reset Mode .
If the completed generator set or control panel has been purchased from a third party supplier, the
module’s configuration would have been changed by them to suit their particular requirements.
Always refer to the module’s configuration source for the exact sequences and timers observed by
any particular module in the field.
NOTE: In all operating modes, only one DSE7310 MKII is permitted to close its Generator
load switching device at any time.
NOTE: Mechanical and/or electrical interlocks between the load switches is required.
When using the two DSE7310 MKII modules, one on each generator, the Dual Mutual Standby
feature allows a priority generator to be backed up. The generators starting and stopping to achieve
this occurs automatically with no user intervention. Depending upon module configuration, the priority
changes between the generators based on engine hours or an internal dual mutual timer.
• Activation of a digital input that has been configured to Remote Start On Load:
o The Remote Start On Load signal (connected to a digital input on both modules)
controls the starting/stopping of both modules when they are in Auto Mode . In
this instance, the Highest Priority starts its generator. If the Highest Priority fails, it
instructs the Next Highest Priority to start and take the load using the digital
communications link.
o If the Highest Priority is running and the Remote Start Signal On Load signal is given
to the Next Highest Priority, the Next Highest Priority does not start its generator until
the Highest Priority generator fails.
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins. Starting requests are made from the
following sources:
• Activation of a digital input that has been configured to Remote Start On Load:
o The Remote Start On Load signal (connected to a digital input on both modules)
controls the starting/stopping of both modules when they are in Auto Mode . In
this instance, the generator with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual
Time starts. If all generators have the same number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual
Time, the highest Priority starts. If the generator with the lowest number of Engine
Hours or Dual Mutual Time fails, it instructs the next generator with the lowest
number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time to start and take the load using the
digital communications link.
o If a generator is running and the Remote Start Signal On Load signal is given to
another generator with a lower number Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time, it does
not start until the generator fails. If the running generator’s Engine Hours or Dual
Mutual Time is greater than another generator’s by the configured Duty Time, it
instructs the next generator with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual
Time to start and take the load using the digital communications link.
NOTE: In all operating modes, only one DSE7320 MKII is permitted to close a generator
load switching device at any time.
NOTE: In all operating modes, only one DSE7320 MKII is permitted to operate the mains
load switching device at any time.
NOTE: Mechanical and/or electrical interlocks between all the load switches is required.
When using the two DSE7320 MKII modules, one on each generator, the Dual Mutual Standby
feature allows a priority generator to be backed up whilst also backing up a mains supply. The
generators starting and stopping to achieve this occurs automatically with no user intervention. The
priority can be configured change between the generators based on engine hours or an internal dual
mutual timer. The DSE7320 MKII which controls the mains load switch is the one which has the
highest priority in that instant or whose generator is running on load.
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins. Starting requests are made from the
following sources:
• Activation of a digital input configured to Remote Start On Load or Mains Failure Detection:
o The Remote Start On Load signal (connected to a digital input on both modules) or
Mains Failure detection (loss of mains sensing on both modules) controls the
starting/stopping of both modules when they are in Auto Mode . In this instance,
the Highest Priority starts its generator. If the Highest Priority generator fails to start,
control is passed to the Next Highest Priority using the digital communications link.
The Next Highest Priority takes control of the mains load switch and starts its
generator. Once the generator is available, the load is then transferred.
o If the Highest Priority is running and the Remote Start Signal On Load signal or Mains
Failure detection occurs on the Next Highest Priority, the Next Highest Priority does
not attain control nor start its generator until the Highest Priority generator fails.
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins. Starting requests are made from the
following sources:
• Activation of a digital input configured to Remote Start On Load or Mains Failure Detection:
o The Remote Start On Load signal (connected to a digital input on both modules) or
Mains Failure detection (loss of mains sensing on both modules) controls the
starting/stopping of both modules when they are in Auto Mode . In this instance,
the module with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time starts its
generator. If the module with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time
generator fails to start, control is passed to the next generator with the lowest number
of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time using the digital communications link. The next
generator with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time takes control
of the mains load switch and starts its generator. Once the generator is available, the
load is then transferred.
o If the module with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual Time generator
is running and the Remote Start Signal On Load signal or Mains Failure detection
occurs on the next generator with the lowest number of Engine Hours or Dual Mutual
Time, it does not attain control or start its generator until module with the running
generator fails.
7 PROTECTIONS
7.1 ALARMS
When an alarm is active, the Internal Audible Alarm sounds and the Common Alarm output if
configured, activates.
The audible alarm is silenced by pressing the Alarm Mute / Lamp Test button.
The LCD display jumps from the ‘Information page’ to display the Alarm Page
The LCD displays multiple alarms such as “Coolant Temperature High”, “Emergency Stop” and “Low
Coolant Warning”. These automatically scroll in the order that they occurred or press the
In the event of an alarm, the LCD displays the appropriate text. If an additional alarm then occurs, the
module displays the appropriate text.
Example:
Warning Shutdown
User configuration is possible to prevent Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms from stopping the
generator. Under such conditions, Protections Disabled appears on the module display to inform the
operator. Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms still appear however, the operator is informed the
alarms are blocked.
Example:
1/1 Alarms
Oil Pressure Low
Shutdown Blocked
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
permanently active or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer provides
this switch (not DSE) so its location varies 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 controller’s configuration is changed. This
prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.
NOTE: For details on these code meanings, refer to the ECU instructions provided by the
engine manufacturer, or contact the engine manufacturer for further assistance.
NOTE: For further details on connection to electronic engines, refer to DSE Publication:
057-004 Electronic Engines And DSE Wiring

If the Immediate Warning is enabled, the controller generates a warning alarm as soon as the Trip
level is reached. The alarm automatically resets once the generator loading current falls below the
Trip level (unless All Warnings are latched is enabled). For further advice, consult the generator
supplier.
If the Over Current IDMT Alarm is enabled, the controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’ when the
current on any phase passes the Trip setting.
If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time, the IDMT Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electrical
Trip as selected in Action).
The larger the over circuit fault, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed
formula:
ݐ
ܶ= ଶ
ቀ − 1ቁ
ܫ
்ܫ
Where:
ܶ is the tripping time in seconds
ܫ is the actual measured current of the most highly loaded line (L1, L2 or L3)
்ܫ is the delayed trip point setting in current
ݐis the time multiplier setting and also represents the tripping time in seconds at twice full
ܫ
load (when ܫ
்
= 2).
The settings shown in the example below are a screen capture of the DSE factory settings, taken from
the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software for a brushless alternator.
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 and 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 alternator can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is.
The default settings as shown above allow for an overload of the alternator to the limits of the Typical
Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour or 200% overload is permitted for
36 seconds.
If the alternator load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second
overload condition may trip soon after the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled
sufficiently.
For further details on the Thermal Damage Curve of your alternator, refer to the alternator
manufacturer and generator supplier.

The default setting for the Over Current alarm allows for an overload of an alternator to the limits of
the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour or 200% overload is
permitted for 36 seconds. In an over current situation the alternator begins to overheat. The aim of the
Over Current IDMT Alarm is to prevent the windings being overload (heated) too much. The amount
of time that the alternator can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is.
The default setting for the Short Circuit alarm allows for an alternator to supply a high current caused
by a genuine short circuit or an inrush current of a motor/transformer. Whereby 300% overload is
permitted for 0.17 seconds or 600% overload is permitted for 0.06 seconds. In a short circuit situation
the alternator begins to overheat to the point the insulation breaks down, potentially causing a fire.
The aim of the Short Circuit IDMT Alarm is to prevent the insulation from melting due to excessive
heat. The amount of time that the alternator can be safely in a short circuit condition is governed by
the alternator’s construction.
The default setting for the Earth Fault alarm allows for an alternator to supply a fault current caused
by a high impedance short to earth or motor drives. Whereby 12% fault current is permitted for 3.83
second or 20% fault current is permitted for 1 second.

9 COMMISIONING
NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link the input to the DC Positive.
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 positive.
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 Mode button followed by the Start button the
unit start sequence commences.
The starter engages and operates 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 displays 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 Mode
button followed by the Start 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 is 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 runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop. The
generator should stay in the standby mode. If it does not, check that the Remote Start input is not
active.
Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence
commences and the engine runs up to operational speed. Once the generator is available the delayed
load outputs activate, the Generator accepts 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 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.
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 customer’s system,
satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then contact DSE Technical Support Department:
