DSE Model 5510 Autostart Control and Instrumentation System Operators Manual
057-015 5510 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 11 07/07/09 AM 11
3.3 MANUAL OPERATION
Manual mode is used to allow the operator to control the operation of the generator, and to provide
fault finding and diagnostic testing of the various operations normally performed during Automatic
mode operation.
NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will
not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs
is NOT affected by panel
lock. If panel lock is active the Panel lock indicator (if configured) illuminates.
MANUAL, mode is selected by pressing the pushbutton. An LED besides the button will
illuminate to confirm this operation. When the START (I) button is operated, the module will initiate
the start sequence.
NOTE: - There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation.
If the pre-heat output option has been selected, this timer will be initiated and the auxiliary output
selected energised.
After the above delay, the Fuel Solenoid (or 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 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 5xxx 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.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN Bus, speed sensing is via CAN Bus.
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. Once the warm up timer has expired the generator is then
available to go on load and the Generator Available LED will illuminate on the front panel.
