(fixed generator output). Alternatively, the 5510 can be used to parallel with other DSE 5510 load sharing controllers. Up to 16 sets can be connected in paralleling and load share as a standalone (prime power) system. Additionally they can parallel with the mains supply (when used in conjunction with DSE 5560).
DSE Model 5510 Autostart Control and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 2.1 CLARIFICATION OF NOTATION USED WITHIN THIS PUBLICATION. Highlights an essential element of a procedure to ensure correctness. NOTE: Indicates a procedure or practice which, if not strictly observed, could result CAUTION!: in damage or destruction of equipment.
3 OPERATION 3.1 CONTROL Control of the DSE 5510 module is via push buttons mounted on the front of the module with STOP/RESET, MANUAL, AUTO, ALARM MUTE/LAMP TEST and START functions. For normal operation these are the only controls which need to be operated. The smaller push buttons are used to access further information such as engine instruments and load switching.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN Bus, compatible ECU’s will receive the start command via CAN Bus. Refer to the Manual CAN and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004 for more information on utilising DSE modules with electronically controlled engines.

DSE Model 5510 Autostart Control and Instrumentation System Operators Manual When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency measured from the alternator output. Alternatively, a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel housing can be used for speed detection (This is selected by PC using the 5xxx series configuration software).
