1 INTRODUCTION The DSE 5210 autostart module has been designed to allow the OEM to meet most of the industry’s complex specifications. It has been primarily designed to allow the user to start and stop the generator, and if required, transfer the load to the generator either manually (via external push-buttons) or automatically.
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 3 OPERATION The following description details the sequences followed by a module containing the standard ‘factory configuration’. Always refer to your configuration source for the exact sequences and timers observed by any particular module in the field.

DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency 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 5200 series configuration software).
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 3.2 MANUAL OPERATION NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, the LCD will display the icon. When in panel lock, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 4 PROTECTIONS The module will indicate that an alarm has occurred in several ways; The LCD display will indicate a ‘common alarm’ either : (warning) or (shutdown) If appropriate, the LCD display or LED indicators will display the appropriate alarm icon i.e.
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 4.1 WARNINGS Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the operation of the generator system, they serve to draw the operators attention to an undesirable condition.
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE if the module detects that the engine coolant temperature has exceeded the high engine temperature pre-alarm setting level after the Safety On timer has expired, a warning will occur.
DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual 4.4 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 alarm, the LCD will display:- (flashing).

DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual GENERATOR HIGH FREQUENCY if the module detects a generator output frequency in excess of the pre- set trip a shutdown is initiated. icon will illuminate. Generator High Frequency is not delayed, it is an immediate shutdown.
That is to say if the generator load level exceeds the trip point by 10%, a warning alarm will occur while the overload condition exists. If the load level does not drop to normal levels within one hour, the set is stopped, the 5210 module displaying either shutdown alarm or electrical trip alarm depending upon module configuration. Additionally, the icon will illuminate.
DSE have produced the ‘insert card creator’ software, shipped with the DSE Software CD to ease the production of text and logo insert cards to suit your application.

DSE Model 5210 Automatic Start Engine Management and Instrumentation System Operators Manual NOTE: - The timers are numbered to enable them to be identified when in configuration mode. Some numbers are reserved so do not appear in the list. In the following example timer number 2 (‘Start delay’ from the above list) is currently set to 5.0 seconds.
One such instance is correction for daylight saving. NOTE:- The 5210 controller maintains the current date/time so long as it connected to a DC supply within the operating range. Disconnection of the supply will result in the date/time being frozen until the module’s power is reapplied.
