1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
1.1 MANUAL MODE OPERATION
To initiate a start sequence in MANUAL, turn the key to the position. To start the set, press the

button. Preheating will begin, indicated by the LED.

NOTE:- There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation. Starting will commence as
soon as the start button is pressed.

The Fuel Solenoid is energised, then the Starter Motor is engaged.

The engine is cranked for a 10-second period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt
then the starter motor is disengaged for a 10-second period. Should this sequence continue
beyond the 3 starting attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start fault
will be illuminated.

When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the
Alternator output.

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated (which is fixed at 10
seconds), allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine Temperature, Under-speed and Charge Fail to
stabilise without triggering the fault.

Selecting STOP de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.

1.2 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION
To initiate a start sequence in AUTO, turn the key to the position.
The start sequence is initiated when the remote start input is activated.

After a fixed 5 second start delay, Preheating will occur (fixed at 10s) , indicated by the LED.
the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then one second later, the Starter Motor is engaged.

The engine is cranked for a 10-second period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt
then the starter motor is disengaged for a 10-second rest period. Should this sequence continue
beyond the 3 starting attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and
Fail to Start fault will be illuminated.

When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the
Alternator output..

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed and Charge Fail to stabilise without triggering the fault.

On removal of the Remote Start signal the Stop delay timer is initiated. Once this timer has
expired the Fuel Solenoid is de-energised, bringing the generator to a stop.

1.3 WARNINGS
Warnings are used to warn the operator of an impending fault

BATTERY CHARGE FAILURE, if the module does not detect a voltage from the warning light
terminal on the auxiliary charge alternator, the icon will illuminate.

1.4 SHUTDOWNS
Shutdowns are latching and stop the Generator. The alarm must be cleared, and the fault removed
to reset the module. In the event of a shutdown the appropriate LED will be illuminated

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 ‘delayed alarms’, as the oil pressure will be low with
the engine at rest).

FAIL TO START, if the engine does not fire after the pre-set 3 attempts at starting, a shutdown will
be initiated.
The icon will illuminate.

LOW OIL PRESSURE, if the module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low
oil pressure switch after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown will occur.
The icon will illuminate.

HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE if the module detects that the engine coolant temperature has
exceeded the high engine temperature switch after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown
will occur.
The icon will illuminate.

OVERSPEED, if the engine speed exceeds the pre-set trip (14% above the nominal frequency) a
shutdown is initiated. Overspeed is not delayed, it is an immediate shutdown.
The icon will illuminate.

NOTE:- During the start-up sequence the overspeed trip level is extended to 24%
above the normal frequency for the duration of the safety timer to allow an extra trip level
margin. This is used to prevent nuisance tripping on start-up.

UNDERSPEED, if the engine speed falls below 20Hz (fixed) after the Safety On timer has expired,
a shutdown is initiated.
The icon will flash.

NOTE:- The icon is used to indicate both underspeed and overspeed. A flashing
icon indicates underspeed. A steady icon indicates overspeed.

5 SOLID STATE OUTPUTS
DSE’s utilisation of Solid State Outputs gives many advantages, the main points being:
No Moving Parts
Fully Overload / Short Circuit Protected.
Smaller dimensions hence lighter, thinner and cheaper than conventional relays.
Less power required making them far more reliable.

The main difference from conventional outputs is that solid state outputs switch to negative (–ve)
when active. This type of output is normally used with an automotive or plug in relay.
