DSE Model 8620 AMF Controller Operators Manual

6.5.3 REMOTE START ON LOAD
This mode of operation is used to start the set in response to rising load levels on the mains supply (if
configured).
NOTE: - If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be
possible. Viewing the instruments and event log are NOT affected by panel lock. If panel lock is active
the Panel lock indicator (if configured) illuminates.
This mode is activated by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button will
illuminate to confirm this operation.
Should the load level on the mains supply exceed a pre-set level the module will initiate a start
sequence.
To allow for short duration load surges, the Start Delay timer is initiated. After this delay, if the pre-
heat output option is selected then the pre-heat timer is initiated and the corresponding auxiliary output
(if configured) will energise.
NOTE: - If the load level returns below the pre-set level during the Start Delay timer, the unit will
return to a stand-by state.
After the above delays, the Fuel Solenoid (or enable ECU output if configured) is energised, and then
one second later, the Starter Motor is engaged.
NOTE: - If the unit has been configured for CAN Bus, compatible ECU’s will receive the start command
via CAN Bus. Refer to the Manual CAN and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004 for more information on utilising
DSE modules with electronically controlled engines.
The engine is cranked for a pre-set time. 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.
Alarm
Shutdown
Fail to start
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at a pre-set frequency
measured 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 DSE configuration Suite software).
Rising oil pressure can also be used to disconnect the starter motor; however, it cannot be used for
underspeed or overspeed detection.
NOTE: - If the unit is configured for CAN Bus, speed sensing is via CAN Bus.
