Introduction
2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8004 module, 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 DSE8004 is used in conjunction with DSE8xxx series of modules. The DSE8004 is NOT a
standalone module.
The DSE8xxx series is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common
platform. This allows the generator OEMs greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a
specific application.
The DSE8xxx series 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.
Synchronising and Load Sharing features are included within the modules, along with the necessary
protections for such a system. This provides forward sync, back sync (no break changeover) and
start/stop upon changing load levels.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSE8x10 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 microprocessor contained within the module allows for of a range of enhanced features
when connected to a supported module:
Text and image based colour 10.5 TFT LCD display (800 x 600 pixels)
True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring.
Engine parameter monitoring.
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.
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 SCADA Suite software allows alteration of graphical interface. Additionally,
the DSE8004 integral front panel configuration editor allows adjustment of connected modules.
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 modules 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.

Specification
3.7.1.2 RS232 PORT

NOTE: For direct connection an RS232 null modem (crossover) cable is required. This is
rated to a maximum cable length of 15 m (49 feet).
RS232 is for short distance communication of maximum 15 m (49 feet) and is typically used to
connect the DSE8004 to a single module for remote communications.
The various operating parameters (such as mains voltage, bus frequency, load kW, etc.) of the
system are available to be viewed.
3.7.1.3 RS485 PORT

NOTE: For a single module to module connection and distances up to 15 m (49 feet) the
RS232 connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485
(which is more suited to longer distance connections).
RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 20). One
advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification which is 1.2 km when using
Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the DSE8004 and
multiple modules.
3.7.1.3.1
CABLE SPECIFICATION
NOTE: DSE recommend Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable for RS485 communication.

3.7.1.4 ETHERNET PORT

NOTE: For a single module to module connection and distances up to 15 m (49 feet) the
RS232 connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to
Ethernet (which is more suited to longer distance connections).
NOTE: DSE stock 2 m (6.5 feet) Ethernet Cable, DSE Part Number: 016-137. Alternatively,
they can be purchased from any PC or IT store.
Ethernet is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 20). One
advantage of the Ethernet interface is the ability to interface into an existing LAN (Local Area
Network) connection for remote connection via an internet connection. This allows for a large
distance between the DSE8004 and multiple modules.

FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS
As modems or routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a
complete guide to their use with the module. However it is possible to give a description of the
requirements in generic terms. For details of how to achieve the connection to the modem or router
refer to the supplier of the modem or router equipment.
The module makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the
Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE SCADA Suite software.
Configure the modem or router to allow inbound traffic on this port. For more information refer to the
WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer.
It is also important to note that if the port assigned (setting from software Modbus Port Number) is
already in use on the LAN, the module cannot be used and another port must be used.
Outgoing Firewall Rule

As the module makes its user interface available to standard web browsers, all communication uses
the chosen port. It is usual for a firewall to make the same port outgoing open for communication.
Incoming Traffic (Virtual Server)

Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as the modem/router
gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public external network") and a local (or
"internal private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent
an entire group of computers.
For our application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP address we
need to access the site from an external (internet) location.
When the requests reach the modem/router, we want this passed to a virtual server for handling, in
our case this is the module.
Result: Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set
within the configuration software on the LAN for handling.

Specification
3.8 SOUNDER
The module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and electrical trip
alarms.
Description
Sounder Level
Specification
64 db at 1 m
3.8.1 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION

Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE8004
running editor to configure an auxiliary output for Audible Alarm. See section entitled Front Panel
Configuration for further details.
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the modules internal
sounder. The monitored DSE controllers alarm mute input and alarm mute button activate in parallel
with each other. Either signal will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.

7.1 PROTECTIONS DISABLED

NOTE: Protections Disabled function is not applicable to the DSE8x60 controller
User configuration of the DSE8x10 and DSE8x20 controller is possible to prevent Shutdown /
Electrical Trip alarms from stopping the engine.
Under such conditions, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator
of this status.
This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for Warning only,
Protections Disabled, Run to Destruction, War mode or other similar wording.
When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature
either permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer
provides this switch (not DSE) so its location will vary depending upon manufacturer, however it
normally takes the form of a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon
configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switch is operated.
The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. Writing a configuration to
the controller that has Protections Disabled configured, results in a warning message appearing on
the PC screen for the user to acknowledge before the controllers configuration is changed. This
prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.
7.1.1 INDICATION / WARNING ALARMS

Under Indication or Warning alarms:
The module operation is unaffected by the Protections Disabled feature. See sections
entitled Indications and Warnings elsewhere in this document.
7.1.2 SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARMS

NOTE: Shutdown alarms are not applicable to the DSE8x60 controller
NOTE: The EMERGENCY STOP input and shutdown alarm continues to operate even
when Protections Disabled is activate.
Under Shutdown or Electrical Trip alarm conditions (excluding Emergency Stop):
The alarm is displayed on the screen as detailed in the section entitled Shutdown alarms
elsewhere in this document.
The set continues to run.
The load switch maintains its current position (it is not opened if already closed)
Shutdown Blocked also appears on the LCD screen to inform the operator that the
Protections Disabled feature has blocked the shutdown of the engine under the normally
critical fault.
The shutdown alarm is logged by the controllers Event Log (if configured to log shutdown
alarms) and logs that the Shutdown was prevented.
68
Protections
7.2 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.
In the event of an alarm the LCD will jump to the alarms page, and display all active warnings and
shutdowns.
By default, warning alarms are self-resetting when the fault condition is removed. However enabling
all warnings are latched will cause warning alarms to latch until reset manually. This is enabled
using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software with a DSE8xxx series controller.
Not applicable to DSE8x60 controller : If the module is configured for, CAN and receives an error
message from the engine control unit, Can ECU Warning is shown on the modules display and a
warning alarm is generated.
7.3 ELECTRICAL TRIPS

NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See
the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.
Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the
electrical trip condition the module will de-energise the Close Generator/Bus Output to remove the
load from the generator. Once this has occurred the module will start the Cooling timer and allow the
engine to cool off-load before shutting down the engine. The alarm must be accepted and cleared,
and the fault removed to reset the module.
Electrical trips are latching alarms and stop the Generator. To reset the fault, press the
Stop/Reset Mode
button.
7.4 SHUTDOWNS
NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See
the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.
NOTE: Shutdown alarms are not applicable to the DSE8x60 controller

Shutdowns are latching alarms and stop the Generator. To reset the fault, press the
Stop/Reset Mode
button.
NOTE: The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the alarm
condition remains, it will not be possible to reset the unit (The exception to this is the Low Oil
Pressure alarm and similar active from safety on alarms, as the oil pressure will be low with
the engine at rest).
