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.
To initiate a start sequence in MANUAL, press the pushbutton. When the controller is in the manual mode
(indicated by an LED indicator beside the button), pressing the START (I) button will initiate the start sequence.
NOTE:- There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation.
If the pre-heat output option is selected this timer is then initiated, and the auxiliary output selected is energised.
After the above delay the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then the Starter Motor is engaged.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the
starter motor is disengaged for the pre-set rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of
attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and
Fail to Start
fault will be displayed accompanied by a flashing shutdown indicator.
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). Rising oil pressure can also be used to disconnect
the starter motor, however it cannot be used for underspeed or overspeed detection.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the
fault.
Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise before it can
be loaded.
The generator will run off load, unless a Remote Start signal is applied, and if Load Transfer has been selected
as a control source, the appropriate auxiliary output selected will activate.
If the Remote Start signal is removed, the generator will continue to run On load until the Auto mode is selected.
The Remote Stop Delay Timer will time out, the load is then disconnected. The generator will then run off load
allowing the engine a cooling down period.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
