13 COMMISSIONING
13.1.1 PRE-COMMISSIONING
Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-
10.1. The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating compatible with
the system. Check all mechanical parts are fitted correctly and that all electrical connections (including
earths) are sound.
10.2. The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
10.3. The Emergency Stop input is wired to an external normally closed switch connected to DC positive.
NOTE:- If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link this input to the DC Positive. The module
will not operate unless either the Emergency Stop is fitted correctly OR terminal 3 is connected to DC
positive.
10.4. Make all checks on the engine and alternator as detailed by their respective manufacturer
documentation.
10.5. Check all other parts in the system according to the manufacturer documentation.
10.6. Thoroughly review the configuration of the DSE controller and check that all parameters meet the
requirements of your system.
10.7. To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent the engine from starting
(disable the operation of the fuel solenoid). After a visual inspection to ensure it is safe to proceed,
connect the battery supply. Select “MANUAL” and then press “START” the unit start sequence will
commence.
10.8. The starter will engage and operate for the pre-set crank period. After the starter motor has attempted
to start the engine for the pre-set number of attempts, the LCD will display ‘Failed to start. Select the
STOP/RESET position to reset the unit.
10.9. Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Select “MANUAL” and then press
“START”. This time the engine will start and the starter motor will disengage automatically. If not then
check the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and the fuel solenoid is operating. The engine
will now run up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is present, check the alarm condition for validity,
and check input wiring. The engine will continue to run for an indefinite period. At this time to view the
engine and alternator parameters - refer to the ‘Description of Controls’ section of this manual.
10.10. Fully commission the engine/alternator and any other parts in the system as detailed in the respective
manufacturer documentation. This includes load bank testing, load acceptance, breaker control and
more.
10.11. When building a synchronising system, follow the DSE “4 Steps To Synchronising” as detailed elsewhere
in this document before attempting to parallel the set with another supply.
10.12. Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event logging
functions. For details of this procedure see section entitled Front Panel Configuration – Editing the date
and time.
10.13. If despite repeated checking of the connections between the 8600 series controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the factory
