5.4 CONTROLS
Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for
which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and the module is in
Stop mode, the module will automatically instruct the changeover device to unload the
generator (‘Close Generator’ becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel supply de-energises and the
engine comes to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be present while operating in this
mode, a remote start will not occur.
Auto
This button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the module to control
the function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor the remote start input and
once a start request is made, the set will be automatically started and placed on load.
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the
generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer as necessary.
The module will then await the next start event. For further details, please see the more detailed
description of ‘Auto operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
Start
Pressing this button in auto mode will start the engine and run off load.
Pressing this button in STOP/RESET mode will turn on the CAN engine ECU (when
correctly configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU)

6.1 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION
NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the in
Activate auto mode by pressing the pushbutton. The icon is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operation if
no alarms are present.
Auto mode will allow the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with no
user intervention.
To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit will return to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the engine will
be cranked.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s will receive the start command via CAN.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration
after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts, the
start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged. Speed detection is factory configured to be derived from the
main alternator output frequency but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel
(Selected by PC using the 3000 series configuration software).
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or
overspeed).
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering
the fault.

If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.
The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and isn’t just a
short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down period, the set will return on
load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is removed from the generator to the
mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.
The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is particularly
important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the in
Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the
load switching devices. Module mode is active when the button is pressed.
To begin the starting sequence, press the button. If ‘protected start’ is disabled, the start sequence
begins immediately.
If ‘Protected Start’ is enabled , the icon is displayed to indicate Manual mode and the manual LED flashes. The
button must be pressed once more to begin the start sequence.
NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s will receive the start command via CAN.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration
after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts, the
start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to Start.

DSE Model 3000 Series Control & Instrumentation System Operators Manual
In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator unless a ‘loading request’ is made.
A loading request can come from a number of sources.
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 the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents excessive wear o
Once the load has been transferred to the generator, it will not be automatically removed. To manually transfer
the load back to the mains either:
Press the auto mode button to return to automatic mode. The set will observe all auto mode start
requests and stopping timers before beginning the Auto mode stopping sequence.
Press the stop button
De-activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load
7.1 WARNINGS
Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the operation of the generator system, they serve to
draw the operators attention to an undesirable condition.
Warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed. The icon will appear steady in the display.
7.2 SHUTDOWNS
Shutdowns are critical alarm conditions that stop the engine and draw the operator’s attention to an undesirable
condition.
Shutdown alarms are latching. The fault must be removed and the button pressed to reset the module. The
icon will appear flashing in the display.

10 COMMISSIONING
10.1.1 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
10.4. 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.
10.5. 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.
10.6. Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Select “MANUAL” and then press
“START”. This time the engine should start and the starter motor should disengage automatically. If not then
check that the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and that the fuel solenoid is operating. The
engine should now run up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is present, check the alarm condition for
validity, then check input wiring. The engine should continue to run for an indefinite period. It will be possible
at this time to view the engine and alternator parameters - refer to the ‘Description of Controls’ section of this
manual.
10.7. Select “AUTO” on the front panel, the engine will run for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop. The
generator should stay in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal present on the Remote
start input.
10.8. Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence will
commence and the engine will run up to operational speed. Once the generator is available a load transfer
will take place (if configured), the Generator will accept the load. If not, check the wiring to the Generator
Contactor Coil (if used). Check the Warming timer has timed out.
10.9. Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence will begin. After the pre-set time, the generator is
unloaded. The generator will then run for the pre-set cooling down period, then shutdown into its
standby mode.
10.10.If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the 3000 series controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the factory
for further advice on:-
Check that the oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating low oil pressure to
the controller. Depending upon configuration, the set will not start if oil
pressure is not low.
Pre-heat inoperative Check wiring to engine heater plugs. Check battery supply. Check
battery supply is present on the Pre-heat output of module. Check pre-
heat configuration is correct.
Starter motor inoperative Check wiring to starter solenoid. Check battery supply. Check battery supply
is present on the Starter output of module. Ensure that the Emergency Stop
input is at Positive. Ensure oil pressure switch or sensor is indicating the
“low oil pressure” state to the 3000 series controller.

When editing a configuration using the Front Panel Editor, be sure to press
the Save button to save the change before moving to another item or
exiting the Front Panel Editor.
Check that the output configuration is correct to drive the load switch
device and that all connections are correct.
Remember that the set will not take load in manual mode unless a remote
start on load input is present.
Inaccurate generator The 3000 series controller is true RMS measuring so gives more
measurements on accurate display when compared with an ‘average’ meter such as an
controller display analogue panel meter or some lower specified digital multimeters.
Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Ie Gen volts full
scale is 333V ph-n so accuracy is ±3.33V (1% of 333V).

14 DISPOSAL
14.1 WEEE (WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT)
Directive 2002/96/EC
If you use electrical and electronic equipment you must store, collect, treat, recycle and dispose of
WEEE separately from your other waste.
Exemption Note: Category 9. (Monitoring & Control Instruments) as defined in Annex 1B of the WEEE directive will
be exempt from the RoHS legislation. This was confirmed in the August 2005 UK´s Department of Trade and
Industry RoHS REGULATIONS Guide (Para 11).
Despite this exemption DSE has been carefully removing all non RoHS compliant components from our supply
chain and products.
When this is completed a Lead Free & RoHS compatible manufacturing process will be phased into DSE
production.
This is a process that is almost complete and is being phased through different product groups.
