  • Page 69: Operation

    6 OPERATION 6.1 CONTROL Control of the DSE8620 module is via push buttons mounted on the front of the module with STOP/RESET, MANUAL, TEST, AUTO, ALARM MUTE 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 mains voltage or to change the state of the load switching devices when in manual mode.

  • Page 70: Control Push-Buttons

    DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual 6.2 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS STOP/RESET This push-button places the module into its Stop/reset mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and this push-button is operated, the module will automatically instruct the generator contactor/breaker to unload the generator.
  • Page 71 DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual Test This button places the module into its ‘Test’ mode. This allows an on load test of the generator. Once in Test mode the module will respond to the start button, start the engine, and run on load.

  • Page 72: Dummy Load / Load Shedding Control

    DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual 6.3 DUMMY LOAD / LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on the generator is kept to a nominal amount. If the load is low, ‘dummy loads’ (typically static load banks) can be introduced to ensure the engine is not too lightly loaded.

  • Page 73: Stop Mode

    DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual 6.4 STOP MODE STOP mode is activated by pressing the button. In STOP mode, the module will remove the generator from load (if necessary) before stopping the engine if it is already running. If the engine does not stop when requested, the FAIL TO STOP alarm is activated (subject to the setting of the Fail to Stop timer).

  • Page 82 DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual The generator will run off load unless: 1. The mains supply fails, 2. A Remote Start on load signal is applied, or an on-load run is configured in the scheduler. 3. The Close Generator button is pressed. If any of the above signals are received, the generator is synchronised and paralleled with the mains supply (if available).
