DSE8610 Control & Instrumentation System Operators Manual 2 INTRODUCTION This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8610 Series modules, part of the DSEPower® 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.

3.5.1 VA RATING OF THE CTS The VA burden of the DSE8610 module on the CTs is 0.5VA. However depending upon the type and length of cabling between the CTs and the DSE8610 module, CTs with a greater VA rating than the module are required.
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.

Specification 3.7 OUTPUTS Ten (10) digital outputs are fitted to the DSE8610 controller. Additional outputs are provided for by adding up to ten (10) external relay boards (DSE2157). This allows for up to 80 additional digital outputs. 3.7.1 OUTPUTS A & B Type Normally used for Fuel / Start outputs.
For momentary (pulsed) closing signals, use OUTPUT D, the normally open relay: Generator When the DSE module requires the breaker closed, the output energises (closing the internal relay) for the period of the Breaker Close Pulse timer after which the output is de-energised (opening the internal relay).

One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km when using Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the DSE8600 series module and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.
Specification 3.9.6 MSC The MSC (Multi System control) is used to communicate with other DSE modules in a system. The MSC is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 Generator controller and another 8 Mains / Bus tie devices giving a maximum of 40 units) The maximum distance is 250M using Belden 9841, 120ohm impedance screened twisted pair cable.

As modem/routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a complete guide to their use with the DSE8610. 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.

Protections 6 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 module’s 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.
If the loading remains at these levels after the completion of the timer, the ‘highest’ active Dummy Load Control output is de-energised.

The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the Mute button The LCD display will jump from the ‘Information page’ to display the Alarm Page Number of present alarms.
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.
Protections 8.2 INDICATIONS Indications are non-critical and often status conditions. They do not appear on the LCD of the module as a text message. However, an output or LED indicator can be configured to draw the operator’s attention to the event. Example Input configured for indication.
The level detected by the fuel level sensor is below the low fuel level setting. CAN ECU ERROR The engine ECU has detected a warning alarm and has informed the DSE module of this situation. The exact error is also indicated on the module’s display.
This is ‘logged’ by the module to allow DSE Technical Staff to check if the protections have been disabled on the module at any time. This feature is available from V4 onwards.
Protections 8.5 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.

Protections With typical settings as above, the tripping curve is followed as shown below. This allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour. If the set load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled sufficiently.
