The engine must be commissioned as far as possible before this procedure is carried out, in particular the governor must be setup to produce stable speed control at 1500 RPM / 1800 RPM. Use DSE Configuration Suite PC Software to upload the factory default configuration to the AVR if required.
Page 21
Setup Procedure Using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software, select the appropriate Voltage Set Point. The Low Voltage Range (for 90 V to 300 V systems) or High Voltage Range (for 180 V to 600 V systems). This voltage refers to the voltage applied to the AVR’s L1, L2 (N) &...
Page 22
Setup Procedure Open Stability Configuration page that was previously selected by the DIP switches. Ensure the Proportional and Integral Preset Enable Preset Enable options are checked and set the Preset Range of both remains ‘checked’ to 100 %. This allows Proportional control via the module Pots.
Page 23
Setup Procedure Using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software, connect SCADA and select the Commissioning Screen display. Set the Proportional preset on the AVR to approximately 10. Set the Integral preset on the AVR between 1 and 2. Ensure the derivative value is 0, and the Output Duty Cycle is 100 % with the engine not running.
Ensure the previous section is completed fully. NOTE: Do not apply load to the set until instructed during the following procedure. NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-271 DSEA109 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
NOTE: Proceed below only when the generating set runs without the AVR tripping and when the feedback voltage reaches the set point and remains relatively stable. NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-271 DSEA109 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
Setup Procedure 4.3.2 PID CALIBRATION The following subsections details the procedure for calibrating the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative settings for optimal generator load acceptance and operation. Wherever possible, a load bank is to be used to ensure stable voltage control during different loading conditions. If a load bank is not available, the Voltage Set Point Step function is used to emulate load step changes.
Setup Procedure 4.3.2.3 DERIVATIVE NOTE: Proceed below only after setting both Proportional and Integral. NOTE: If an oscilloscope is not available, the voltmeter and SCADA screen are used solely. This does not show rapid oscillation of the voltage output and hence does not provide the optimum setup environment.
Page 28
Setup Procedure The AVR’s response to these Voltage Set Point Step changes indicate how well the current stability settings handle load changes, and what further adjustments may be required. Example oscilloscope traces of the AVR’s ‘transient response’ to Voltage Set Point Step changes are shown below: Voltage Set Point Steady State...
Setup Procedure 4.3.2.5 SOFT START RAMP Once the stability settings have been completed, the Soft Start Ramp values can be set. The Ramp Start Point value determines the percentage of the configured voltage Set Point at which the Soft Start Ramp takes effect. If a voltage spike at a value below the voltage Set Point is shown on start up, decrease this value.
Droop is optional. If required, a Current Transformer (CT) must be fitted in one of the alternator phases. The AVR must be configured correctly to match which phase the CT is fitted to, relative to the voltage settings. This is performed in the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. 4.3.3.1 USER CONFIGURED DROOP SETUP Set Droop (% of set point) to the desired level.
System drop-down menu. Pre-defined Droop CT AC System parameters automatically fix the Offset Angle to the correct value. DSE Configuration Suite PC Software shows the location that the droop CT MUST be fitted. Page 31 of 60 057-295 ISSUE: 1...
Setup Procedure 4.3.4 EXTERNAL BIAS SETTING NOTE: Proceed with External Bias Setting only after the AVR has been correctly stabilised by following the Stability Settings section first. 4.3.4.1 EXTERNAL POTENTIOMETER NOTE: The external potentiometer is designed for manual adjustment of the output voltage.
Setup Procedure 4.3.4.2 DC VOLTAGE INPUT NOTE: The DC Voltage Input is designed for automatic voltage matching or kvar sharing. For manual adjustment, use the External Potentiometer input instead. NOTE: Where both (External Potentiometer and DC Voltage Input) are used simultaneously, both inputs are summed to determine the output voltage.
Presets are the adjusters fitted on the AVR and may be disabled if end user adjustment is not required. When enabled, the range of the presets is configurable using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software to enable the generator assembler to limit user adjustment within a range suitable for the completed generator.
Setup Procedure 4.4.1.1 VOLTAGE PRESET If the voltage preset is required to be active, check the Preset Enable parameter in the configuration and set the Anticlockwise Limit of Preset and Clockwise Limit of Preset to give the desired control span. Write the configuration to the AVR.
4.4.3 ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS DIP switches are used to select between different configurations within the device. Each configuration is adjusted using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software to suit the application’s nominal Voltage and Frequency. DIP Switches 2, 3 & 4 selects one of six Configurations.
Setup Procedure 4.5 FINAL CHECK Start the generator set and check that it reaches the set voltage and is stable. Test with various step loads within the limits of the generator and check that the voltage is stable with good transient response. Increase to full load and check that the alternator output remains at the Set Point and is stable.

Operation 5.1.1 PRESETS It is possible to disable the operation of the preset using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software in conjunction with DSE815 Interface. In this instance, the value of the disabled preset is fixed by the PC Software. 5.1.1.1 VOLTAGE SET POINT The Setting for the alternators output voltage.

Where a continuous voltage is required, the use of a generator load share controller with active kvar sharing and voltage compensation is recommended. Such controllers include the DSE8xxx series of load share controllers. Contact DSE Technical Support for more information. To set the droop function for paralleling multiple generators: NOTE: If it is required that the generator output voltage droops to the nominal voltage, ensure that Voltage Setpoint is set higher than the nominal by the appropriate amount.
An Instantaneous Step can be enabled to reduce the voltage to a percentage of the nominal frequency as soon as the frequency falls below the Knee Point setting. After which the rate of reduction is configurable using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software between 0 % / Hz and 10% / Hz.
Operation 5.1.1.4 PROPORTIONAL NOTE: For more detailed information on the set up procedure for Proportional, see the section entitled Setup Procedure elsewhere in this document. Adjusts the Proportional gain of the AVR output control. Turning the preset clockwise raises the Proportional gain.

Operation 5.3 EXTERNAL AC VOLTAGE BIAS NOTE: Voltage adjust range is configured using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. For further details, refer to DSE Publication: 057-271 DSEA109 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. Two external bias inputs are provided to allow remote adjustment of the alternator output.
During start-up, the main generator output is monitored. If it fails to reach 70% of the Voltage Set Point, the Startup Trip alarm occurs. 6.2 LOSS OF FEEDBACK NOTE: Loss of Feedback Delay is configured using DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. For further details, refer to DSE Publication: 057-271 DSEA109 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
Fault Diagnosis 7 FAULT DIAGNOSIS Nature of Problem Suggestion The Status LED is flashing. See section entitled Status LED elsewhere in this document. The Status LED is not lit. The generator may be stopped and the communication lead (DSE815 interface is not connected). See section entitled Status LED elsewhere in this document.
In addition to the Configuration port, the DSEA109 features a CAN communication port. The CAN port is used for live operational communications between the DSEA109 and compatible DSE genset controllers, encompassing both the transmission of AVR data and the receipt of external commands where applicable.
