Operation 6 OPERATION NOTE: The following descriptions detail 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. 6.1 QUICKSTART GUIDE This section provides a quick start guide to the module’s operation.
Operation 6.1.2 STOPPING THE ENGINE Select Stop/Reset mode. The generator is stopped. NOTE: For further details, see the section entitled ‘OPERATION’ elsewhere in this manual.
Oil pressure sensor must indicate low oil pressure • When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE Configuration Suite PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receive the start command via CAN and transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made.
Operation 6.3.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and isn’t just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down period, the set returns on load. If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is removed from the generator to the mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
Protected Start Mode setting in the DSE Configuration Suite Software NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-172 DSE45xx Configuration Software Manual. 6.4.2 STARTING SEQUENCE NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
Operation 6.4.3 ENGINE RUNNING Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine Running icon is displayed In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator unless a ‘loading request’ is made. A loading request can come from a number of sources. Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start On Load or Auxiliary •...
