2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8600 Series modules, part
of the DSEGenset® range of products.
The manual forms part of the product and should be kept for the entire life of the product. If the
product is passed or supplied to another party, ensure that this document is passed to them for
reference purposes.
This is not a controlled document. You will not be automatically informed of updates. Any future
updates of this document will be included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com
The DSE8620 module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator, and if
required, transfer the load to the generator either manually (via fascia mounted push-buttons) or
automatically. Utilising the inbuilt synchronising, volts matching and paralleling functions, the controller is
able to parallel with the mains supply for soft transfer of peak lopping. Synchronsing and Load Sharing
features are included within the controller, along with the necessary protections for such a system.
The DSE8620 has mains failure detection to enable the transfer of load to a generator and return back
upon restoration of the mains with added features to avoid transients of the supply.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSE8620 module monitors the engine, indicating the operational status and fault conditions,
automatically shutting down the engine and giving a true first up fault condition of an engine failure by a
COMMON AUDIBLE ALARM. The LCD display indicates the fault.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
• Text based LCD display (supporting multiple languages).
• True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring.
• Communications capability (RS485, RS232 or Ethernet)
• Engine parameter monitoring.
• Automatic sync capability
• Load control capability
• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
• Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.
• Direct connection to governor / AVR for synchronising and load sharing
• R.O.C.O.F. and Vector shift for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the mains supply.
Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational
sequences, timers and alarms. Additionally, the module’s integral fascia configuration editor allows
adjustment of a subset of this information.
A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via locking
plug and sockets.
Selective operational sequences, timers and alarm trips can be altered by the customer via a PC using
the DSE Configuration suite or via the integral front panel configuration editor.
Access to critical operational sequences and timers for use by qualified engineers, can be protected by
a security code. Module access can also be protected by PIN code. Selected parameters can be
changed from the module’s front panel.
The module is housed in a robust plastic case suitable for panel mounting. Connections to the module
are via locking plug and sockets.
