 Introduction

1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE335 module version 4.2
and later, part of the DSEATS® range of products.
A separate document covers the DSE335 modules with firmware version prior to version 4.2.

The manual forms part of the product and must 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. Updates are not automatically informed. Any future updates of this
document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com

The module is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common platform. This
allows the OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a specific application.

The module has been designed to allow the operator to control the transfer of the load from Source 1
(S1) to Source 2 (S2), typically the mains supply and a standby generator either manually (via fascia
mounted push-buttons) or automatically upon S1 failure. Additionally if configured too, the module
automatically starts and stops the generator set (S2) depending upon the status of S1.

The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display to monitor
the supplies and indicating the operational status and fault conditions of the module.

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 or RS232)
• Multiple AC supply monitoring
• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.

Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational
sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the module’s integral front panel
configuration editor allows adjustment of this information.

A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via
locking plug and sockets.

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.

2.6.1 V A RATING OF THE CTS

NOTE: Details for 4 mm² cables are shown for reference only. The connectors on the DSE
modules are only suitable for cables up to 2.5 mm².

The V A burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5 V A. However depending upon the type and length of
cabling between the CTs and the module, CTs with a greater V A rating than the module are required.

The distance between the CTs and the

measuring module must be calculated
and cross-referenced against the chart
opposite to find the V A burden of the
cable itself.

If the CTs are fitted within the

alternator top box, the star point
(common) of the CTs must be
connected to system ground (earth) as
close as possible to the CTs. This
minimises the length of cable used to
connect the CTs to the DSE module.

Example.
If 1.5 mm² cable is used and the
distance from the CT to the measuring
module is 20 m, then the burden of the
cable alone is approximately 15 V A.
As the burden of the DSE controller is
0.5 V A, then a CT with a rating of at
least 15 + 0.5 V = 15.5 V A must be
used.
If 2.5 mm² cables are used over the
same distance of 20 m, then the
burden of the cable on the CT is
approximately 7 V A. CT’s required in
this instance is at least 7.5 V A
(7 + 0.5).

2.6.2 CT POLARITY

NOTE: Take care to ensure correct polarity of the CT primary as shown above. If in doubt,
check with the CT supplier.

Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the CTs. Incorrect CT orientation leads to negative kW
readings when the set is supplying power. Take note that paper stick-on labels on CTs that show the
orientation are often incorrectly placed on the CT (!). It is more reliable to use the labelling in the case
moulding as an indicator to orientation (if available).

To test orientation, run the generator in island mode (not in parallel with any other supply) and load
the generator to around 10% of the set rating. Ensure the DSE module shows positive kW for all three
individual phase readings.

TO GENERATOR TO LIGHTS

POLARITY OF CT PRIMARY

2.6.3 CT PHASING

Take particular care that the CTs are connected to the correct phases. For instance, ensure that the
CT on phase 1 is connected to the terminal on the DSE module intended for connection to the CT for
phase 1.

Additionally ensure that the voltage sensing for phase 1 is actually connected to generator phase 1.
Incorrect connection of the phases as described above results in incorrect power factor (PF)
measurements, which in turn results in incorrect kW measurements.

One way to check for this is to make use of a single-phase load. Place the load on each phase in turn,
run the generator and ensure the kW value appears in the correct phase. For instance if the load is
connected to phase 3, ensure the kW figure appears in phase 3 display and not in the display for
phase 1 or 2.

2.6.4 CT CLASS

Ensure the correct CT type is chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing overcurrent
protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level required to be protected against,
and at the accuracy level required.

For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P10 type) to maintain high accuracy while
the CT is measuring overload currents.

Conversely, if the DSE module is using the CT for instrumentation only (current protection is disabled
or not fitted to the controller) then measurement class CTs can be used. Again, bear in mind the
accuracy required. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To
maintain this accuracy fit Class 0.5 or Class 1 CTs.

Check with the CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting the CTs.

2.9.1 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE

2.9.1.1 USB CONNECTION

NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-237
DSE335 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.

The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the controller.
Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then able to control the module, starting
or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.

Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
generator are available to be viewed or changed.

To connect a module to a PC by USB, the following items are required:

• DSE335 Controller

• DSE Configuration Suite PC Software

(Supplied on configuration suite software CD or available from
www.deepseaplc.com).

• USB cable Type A to Type B.

(This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a USB
printer)

2.9.1.2 RS232

The RS232 port on the controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol.
The Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.

RS232 is for short distance communication (max 15m) and is typically used to connect the controller
to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.

Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS232 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of
USB to RS232 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an RS232
port.

2.9.1.3 RECOMMENDED PC RS232 SERIAL PORT ADD-ONS

Remember to check these parts are suitable for your PC. Consult your PC supplier for further advice.

2.9.1.4 RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL MODEMS

NOTE: For GSM modems a SIM card is required, supplied by your GSM network
provider

• Multitech Global Modem – MultiModem ZBA (PSTN)

DSE Part Number 020-252
(Contact DSE Sales for details of localisation kits for these modems)

• Sierra Fastrak Xtend GSM modem kit (PSU, Antenna and modem)*
DSE Part number 0830-001-01

• For SMS only, a ‘normal’ voice SIM card is required. This enables the controller to send SMS
messages to designated mobile phones upon status and alarm conditions.
• For a data connection to a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software, a ‘special’ CSD
(Circuit Switched Data) SIM card is required in order for the modem to answer an incoming
data call. Many ‘pay as you go’ services do not provide a CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM
card.

 Specifications

2.9.1.5 RS485

NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB
connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which
is more suited to longer distance connections).

The RS485 port on the series controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol.
The DSE Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.

RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices) and
allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).

One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km when using Belden
9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the
DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, selecting operating
modes, etc.
The various operating parameters (such as output volts, currents, etc.) of the remote ATS can be
viewed or changed.

2.9.2 DSENET® FOR EXPANSION MODULES

NOTE: As a termination resistor is internally fitted to the host controller, the host
controller must be the ‘first’ unit on the DSENet®. A termination resistor MUST be fitted to the
‘last’ unit on the DSENet®. For connection details, you are referred to the section entitled
‘typical wiring diagram’ elsewhere in this document.

DSENet® is the interconnection cable between the host controller and the expansion module(s) and
must not be connect to any device other than DSE equipment designed for connection to the
DSENet®

Description Specification
Cable type Two core screened twisted pair
Cable characteristic 120Ω
impedance
Recommended cable Belden 9841
Belden 9271
Maximum cable length 1200m (¾ mile) when using Belden 9841 or direct equivalent.
600m (666 yds) when using Belden 9271 or direct equivalent.
DSENet® topology “Daisy Chain” Bus with no stubs (spurs)
DSENet® termination 120Ω. Fitted internally to host controller. Must be fitted externally to the
‘last’ expansion module by the customer.
Maximum expansion Total 6 devices made up of DSE2130 (up to 2), DSE2157 (up to 2),
modules DSE2548 (up to 2)

This gives the possibility of :

Maximum 16 additional inputs (DSE2130)
Maximum 20 additional relay outputs (DSE2157)
Maximum 20 additional LED indicators (DSE2548)

2.10 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION

When an external alarm or indicator is required, this can be achieved by using the DSE Configuration
Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by configuring an auxiliary
input for “Alarm Mute” (if required).
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal
sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate ‘in parallel’ with each other.
Either signal mutes both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.

Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop / Reset mode. This clears any
alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If S2 is on
load and the module is placed into Stop mode, the module automatically instructs
the changeover device to unload the S2 source (Close S2 Output becomes
inactive (if used)). If S2 is configured for a generator, the start signal given to the
generator controller is also removed. If a Remote Start signal is present while
operating in this mode, the remote start does not occur.

Manual
This button places the module into its Manual mode to allow manual control of
the ATS functions. This starts S2 when configured as a generator, and runs it off
load.

For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Manual operation’

The items displayed on this page change depending upon configuration of the module. Refer to the
system supplier for further details.

Module Connected To an RS232 Telephone Modem

NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the
modem to dial out to a PC.

When the module is powered up, it sends ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is
important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the
module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the
modem does not ‘hang up’.

If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the
Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.

If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, once the modem is
dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings). Once the call is
established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.

If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.

Module Connected To an RS232 GSM Modem

NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the
modem to dial out to a PC.

NOTE: In the case of GSM modems, it is important that a DATA ENABLED SIM is used.
This is often a different number than the ‘voice number’ and is often called Circuit Switched
Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.

When the module is powered up, it sends ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is
important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the
module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the
modem does not ‘hang up’.

If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the

established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.

If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.

Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator.
These are a useful troubleshooting tool.

In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an
ordinary telephone. After two rings, the modem answers the call and then starts ‘squealing’. If this
does not happen, check all modem connections and double check with the SIM provider that it is a
DATA SIM and can operate as a data modem. DATA is NOT the same as FAX or GPRS and is often
called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.

Modem Initialisation Sequence

1) The modem attempts to communicate to the module

2) If the Modem and module communicate successfully:

3) In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically
reset and initialisation is attempted once more:

In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display continuously
cycles between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and
attempts to communicate with it again, this continues until correct communication is established
with the modem. In this instance, check connections and verify the modem operation.

4.5 OPERATION

NOTE: The following descriptions detail the sequences followed by a module containing
the standard ‘factory configuration’. Always refer to the configuration source for the exact
sequences and timers observed by any particular module in the field.

4.5.1 LOAD SWITCHING FUNCTIONALITY

NOTE: For comprehensive detail of the load switching functionality of each Breaker
Scheme, refer to DSE Publication: 057-237 DSE335 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.

The load switching functionality of the DSE335 is dependant on which Breaker Scheme the module is
currently configured to adhere to. A brief description of the operation of each scheme is detailed
below:

4.5.1.1 BREAKER SCHEME A

NOTE: S1 Closed Auxiliary and S2 Closed Auxiliary inputs do not affect the operation of
the load switching in Breaker Scheme A

Breaker Scheme A has been designed for use with contactors or ACB’s. When this scheme is
selected the DSE335 will always perfrom an open transition, with a pre-configured transfer delay
between opening one load switch, and closing the other. Breaker Scheme A is suitable for load
switching devices that require either pulsed or continuous close / open commands.

4.5.1.2 BREAKER SCHEME B

Breaker Scheme B has been designed primarily for use with rotary transfer switches with a very fast
changeover time. When this scheme is selected the DSE335 may be configured to perfrom either a
normal open transition, with a pre-configured transfer delay between opening one load switch, and
closing the other, or an open transition with Check Sync, in which the open and close commands are
sent to each load switch simultaneously. For the latter option, Check Sync must be enabled within the
DSE335. The module then proceeds to compare the phase angle and frequency difference between
the two supplies. A transfer is then only allowed when these values are within pre-defined limits.
Breaker Scheme B is suitable for a limited amount of load switching devices, all of which must be able
to accept pulse signal for opening and closing.

4.5.1.3 BREAKER SCHEME C

Breaker Scheme C has been designed for use with contactors or ACB’s. This scheme can be used for
open transition, open transition with Check Sync, or closed transition with Check Sync. The open
transition functionality of Breaker Scheme C is identical to that of Breaker Scheme A. The open
transition with Check Sync functionality is similar to that of Breaker Scheme B, but additionally
supports continuous signal open and close commands, and so is compatible with contactors and
ACB’s. The closed transition with Check Sync functionality allows for both load switching devices to
be closed, and thus both supplies in parallel, for the preconfigured Parallel Time. As soon as the
DSE335 detects the load switching device of the supply the load is being transferred to has closed,
the Parallel Time timer begins. Once this timer has expired, the DSE335 opens the load switching
device of the supply the load has been transferred from. If at any time during this process a load
switching device is detected to have not opened or closed as instructed, one or multiple alarms are
generated. At this point the DSE335 configures the load switching devices to ensure continued supply
of the site load where possible. Following such instances, load switch alarms may be cleared without
putting the DSE335 into Stop mode by pressing and holding the Mute button on the front of the
module for 5 seconds, or enabling a module input configured as Reset Breaker Alarms. Doing so only
resets these alarms, leaving any other latched or active alarms still present. Pressing the Stop button
when in Stop mode also clears the load switch alarms, along with any others present.

4.7 STOP/RESET

NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.

Stop mode is activated by pressing the button.

In Stop mode , the module removes S2 from load (if necessary) and removes the start signal
given to the generator controller (if S2 is configured as a generator and it is running).

If S2 is configured as a generator and it does not stop after the cooling down time, the Fail To Stop
alarm is activated (subject to if the Fail To Stop timer is enabled and its duration). To detect the
generator (S2) is at rest the following must occur:

• S2 Frequency must be zero

• S2 Voltage must be zero

Any latched alarms that have been cleared are reset when Stop mode is entered.

S2 is not placed on load (or started if configured as a generator) when in Stop mode . If remote
start signals are given, the input is ignored until Auto mode is entered.

controller (if S2 is configured as a generator supply), and if required, change the state of the load
switching devices. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.

4.8.1 STARTING SEQUENCE

NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.

As soon as the Manual mode button is pressed, the output to give a start signal to an external
generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a generator)

If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved loading voltage and frequency (if configured as a generator).

4.8.2 S2 AVAILABLE

NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.

In Manual mode, the load is not transferred to S2 unless a ‘loading request’ is made and the S2
supply is within limits (if configured as a mains supply) or achieve Loading Voltage and Loading
Frequency (if configured as a generator).
A loading request can come from a number of sources.

• Pressing the Close/Open S2 button

• S1 supply out of limits
• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load
• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for ‘on load’ runs.

As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section entitled Load Shedding elsewhere in this document for further details.

4.9 AUTOMATIC MODE

NOTE: If a digital input configured to Panel Lock is active, changing module modes is not
possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.

Auto mode is activated by pressing the button.

In Auto mode, the module operates fully automatically, changing between the two supplies in
case of failure without user intervention. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.

4.9.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE

If a starting/loading request is made, the starting sequence begins.

Starting/loading requests can be from the following sources:

• S1 supply out of limits

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load or remote
start off load.
• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.
• Instruction from external remote telemetry devices using the RS232 or RS485 interface

4.9.2 STARTING SEQUENCE

To allow for ‘false’ start/load requests such as S1 brownouts, the Start Delay timer begins. There are
individual start delay timers for each of the different start/load request types.

When all start/load requests are removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by
state.

If a start/load request is still present at the end of the Start Delay timer, an output to give a start signal
to an external generator controller is activated (if S2 is configured as a generator).

If the generator fails to start during the ‘S2 Fail Delay’ timer, an alarm appears on the display which
shows Fail to Start. S2 is seen as available once the supply is within limits (if configured as a mains
supply) or had achieved Loading Voltage and Loading Frequency (if configured as a generator).

If a start/load request is present but the starting sequence has not begun, an input configured to ‘Auto
Start Inhibit’ could be active.

 Description of Controls

4.9.3 S2 AVAILABLE

In Auto mode, the load is automatically transferred to S2 when it is within limits (if configured as a
mains supply) or achieve loading voltage and frequency (if configured as a generator).

If a start/load request is present but S2 does not go on load, an input configured to ‘S2 Load Inhibit’
could be active.

A loading request can come from a number of sources.

• S1 supply out of limits

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load
• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for ‘on load’ runs.

NOTE: The load transfer signal remains inactive until S2 is seen as available. This
prevents loading to a supply that has failed or is not yet available.

As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) remove non-
essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding control settings in the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.
See section entitled Load Shedding elsewhere in this document for further details.

If all start/load requests are removed, the stopping sequence begins.

4.9.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE

The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the start/load request has been permanently removed
and isn’t just a short term removal. In case another start request is made during the Return Delay (or
cooling down period when S2 is configured as a generator), the set returns on load.

If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the load is transferred back from
the S2 to the S1 supply and the Cooling timer is initiated (when S2 is configured as a generator).

The Cooling timer allows S2 (when configured as a generator) to run off load and cool sufficiently
before the start signal to the external generator control unit is removed. This is particularly important
where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.

After the Cooling timer has expired, the start signal given to the external generator controller is
removed..

4.11 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and
stopping the set. Up to 16 scheduled start/stop sequences can be configured in banks of 8 to either
repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle.
Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.

Example

Screen capture from DSE

Configuration Suite
Software showing the
configuration of the
Exercise Scheduler.

In this example the set

starts at 09:00 on the first
Monday of each month and
run for 5 hours, then start
at 13:30 on every Tuesday
and run for 30 minutes.

4.11.1 STOP MODE

• Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Stop mode.

4.11.2 MANUAL MODE

• Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Manual mode.

• Activation of a Scheduled Run ‘On Load’ when the module is operating Off Load in Manual
mode has no effect, the set continues to run Off Load

4.11.3 AUTO MODE

• Scheduled runs operate ONLY if the module is in Auto mode with no Electrical Trip alarm
present.
• If the module is in Stop or Manual mode when a scheduled run begins, S2 is not
started (if configured as generator). However, if the module is moved into Auto mode
during a scheduled run, S2 is called to start.
• Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to
inhibit a scheduled run.
• If S2 is Off Load in Auto mode and a scheduled run configured to ‘Transfer to S2’ begins,
S2 is placed On Load for the duration of the Schedule.

 Description of Controls

4.12 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on S2 is kept to a nominal
amount. Conversely as the load increases towards the maximum rating of the set, non-essential loads
can be shed to prevent overload of S2.

4.12.1 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

NOTE: Refer to DSE335 Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-237) for further details
on configuring, monitoring and control.

The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps.
When S2 is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at Startup
energises. This configurable setting allows (for instance) certain loads to be removed from S2 prior to
the set’s load switch being closed. This can be used to ensure the initial loading of the set is kept to a
minimum, below the Load Acceptance specification of S2.

S2 is then placed on load. The Load Shedding Control scheme begins.

When the load reaches the Load Shedding Trip level the Trip Delay timer starts. If S2 loading is still
high when the timer expires, the first Load shedding Control output energises. When the load has
been above the trip level for the duration of the timer the ‘next’ Load shedding Control output
energises and so on until all Load Shedding Control outputs are energised.

If at any time the load falls back below the Load Shedding Return level, the Return Time starts. If the
load remains below the return level when the timer has expired the ‘highest’ Load Shedding Control
output that has been energised is de-energised. This process continues until all outputs have been
de-energised.
When the set enters a stopping sequence for any reason the Load Shedding control’ outputs are de-
energised at the same time as the S2 load switch is signalled to open.

7 COMMISSIONING
Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-

• 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.

• The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.

• To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent S2 from starting (if
configured as a generator by disconnecting the start output) and press the Manual mode
button. Check to see if the start signal energises.

• 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.

• If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the
DSE Technical Support Department for further advice.

RS485 inoperative Check :
• Connection cable – Belden 9841 or equivalent
• 120 Ω termination resistors are correctly fitted
• Baud rate of controller and of master device are the same
• Slave ID of the controller is the same as configured in the
master device
RS232 connection to PC Check :
inoperative • RS232 maximum of 15 m is not exceeded
• Direct to PC connection requires a Crossover (NULL modem)
RS232 cable
• Baud rate of controller and of master device are the same
• Slave ID of the controller is the same as configured in the
master device
RS232 connection to GSM Check :

8.5 INSTRUMENTS

Symptom Possible Remedy

Inaccurate S1 & S2 Check that the CT primary, CT secondary and VT ratio settings are
measurements on controller correct for the application.
display
Check that the CTs are wired correctly with regards to the direction of
current flow (p1,p2 and s1,s2) and additionally ensure that CTs are
connected to the correct phase (errors occur if CT1 is connected to
phase 2).

Remember to consider the power factor. Ie (kW = kV A x powerfactor)

The controller is true RMS measuring so gives more accurate display

when compared with an ‘averaging’ meter such as an analogue panel
meter or some lower specified digital multimeters.

Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Ie S1 volts

full scale is 333 V ph-n so accuracy is ±3.33 V (1% of 333 V).

 Fault Finding

8.6 MISCELLANEOUS

NOTE: The above fault finding is provided as a guide check-list only. As the module can
be configured to provide a wide range of different features, always refer to the source of the
module configuration if in doubt.

Symptom Possible Remedy

Module appears to ‘revert’ to When editing a configuration using the PC software it is vital that the
an earlier configuration configuration is first ‘read’ from the controller before editing it. This
edited configuration must then be “written” back to the controller for
the changes to take effect.

When editing a configuration using the fascia editor, be sure to press

the Tick button to save the change before moving to another item
or exiting the fascia editor
