 Introduction

1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSEE100 module and is part
of the DSEControl® 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. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of
this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaelectronics.com

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

The DSEE100 module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the engine, manually
or automatically.

The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the text LCD display.

The DSEE100 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
the LCD display.

The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:

 Text based LCD display

 USB Communications
 Engine parameter monitoring.
 Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.

The DSE Configuration Suite PC 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.

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.

2.5.3 CHARGE FAIL INPUT

The charge fail input is actually a combined input and output. Whenever the engine is required to run,
the terminal provides excitation current to the charge alternator field winding.

When the charge alternator is correctly charging the battery, the voltage of the terminal is close to the
plant battery supply voltage. In a failed charge situation, the voltage of this terminal is pulled down to
a low voltage. It is this drop in voltage that triggers the Charge Failure alarm. The level at which this
operates and whether this triggers a warning or shutdown alarm is configurable using the DSE
Configuration Suite Software.

Description Specification
Minimum Voltage 0V
Maximum Voltage 35 V
Resolution 0.2 V
Accuracy ±1 % of full scale
Excitation Active circuit constant power output
Output Power 2.5 W nominal at 12 V and 24 V

3.2.2 ANALOGUE SENSOR INPUTS

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-267
DSEE100 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.

NOTE: It is VERY important that terminal 10 (sensor common) is connected to an earth

point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical
connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth
connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a
SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point, to terminal 10 directly, and not
use this earth for other connections.

NOTE: If PTFE insulating tape is used on the sensor thread when using earth return
sensors, ensure not to insulate the entire thread, as this prevents the sensor body from being
earthed via the engine block.

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

Starting requests can be from the following sources:

 Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.

 Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start.

 Description of Controls

5.3.2 STARTING SEQUENCE

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-267
DSEE100 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.

To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the Start Delay timer begins.

Should all start requests be removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit returns 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 is cranked.

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 is terminated and the display shows Fail to
Start .

The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel.

Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.

5.3.3 ENGINE RUNNING

If all start requests are removed, the Stopping Sequence begins.

5.3.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE

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 this time period, the
set continues running.

If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the stopping sequence is
initiated.

5.5 MAINTENANCE ALARMS

Depending upon module configuration one or more levels of engine maintenance alarm may occur
based upon a configurable schedule.

Example 1

Screen capture from DSE Configuration

Suite Software showing the configuration
of the Maintenance Alarm for Oil, Air and
Fuel.

When activated, the maintenance alarm

can be either a warning (set continues
to run) or shutdown (running the set is
not possible).

Resetting the maintenance alarm is

normally actioned by the site service
engineer after performing the required
maintenance.
The method of reset is either by:

 Activating an input that has been

configured to Maintenance Reset
Alarm x, where x is the type of
maintenance alarm (Air, Fuel or Oil).

 Pressing the maintenance reset

button in the DSE Configuration Suite, Maintenance section.

 Pressing and holding the Stop/Reset Mode button for 10 seconds on the desired Maintenance
Alarm status page. This can be protected by a PIN number.

5.6 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and
stopping the set. Up to 8 scheduled start/stop sequences can be configured to repeat on a 7-day or
28-day cycle.

Example

Screen capture from DSE Configuration

Suite Software showing the configuration of
the Exercise Scheduler.

In this example the set will start at 09:00 on

Monday and run for 5 hours, then start at
13:30 on Tuesday and run for 30 minutes.

5.6.1 STOP MODE

 Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Stop/Reset Mode .

5.6.2 MANUAL MODE

 Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Manual/Start Mode waiting for a start
request.

5.6.3 AUTO MODE

 Scheduled runs operate only if the module is in Auto Mode with no Shutdown alarm
active.

 If the module is in Stop/Reset Mode or Manual/Start Mode when a scheduled run

begins, the engine is not started. However, if the module is moved into Auto Mode
during a scheduled run, the engine is called to start.

 Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to
inhibit a scheduled run.

 Press the Auto Mode (), the first ‘#’ changes to ‘0’. Press the Up or Down buttons
to adjust it to the correct value.

 Press the Manual/Start Mode (+) buttons to move to the next digit. The digit previously
entered now shows as ‘#’ for security.

 Repeat this process for the other digits of the PIN number. Press the Stop/Reset Mode (-)
button to move back to adjust one of the previous digits.

 When the Auto Mode () button is pressed after editing the final PIN digit, the PIN is
checked for validity. If the number is not correct, the PIN must be re-entered.

 If the PIN has been successfully entered (or the module PIN has not been enabled), the editor is

NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link the input to the DC Negative or
disable the input. For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-267
DSEE100 Configuration Software Manual.

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.

 The Emergency Stop input is wired to an external normally closed switch connected to DC
negative.

 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. Press the Manual/Start Mode button, the unit start
sequence commences.

 The starter engages and operates 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 displays
Fail to Start . Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to reset the unit.

 Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Press the Manual/Start
Mode button. 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 is possible at this time to view the engine parameters -
refer to the ‘Description of Controls’ section of this manual.

 Press the Auto Mode button, the engine runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop.
The set should stay in the standby mode. If it does not, check that the Remote Start input is not
active.

 Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence
commences and the engine runs up to operational speed. Check the Warming timer has timed
out.

 Remove the remote start signal. The return delay timer begins. After the pre-set time, the set is
stopped.

 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.

 If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then contact DSE Technical Support
Department. E-mail: support@deepseaelectronics.com
