1 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

To start the generator turn the key switch to the hand position, which will power up the unit.

If at this time the auxiliary input is active the led will be illuminated, preventing the start of the
generator.

Pressing the pre-heat button will energise the pre-heat output. Releasing the button will de-
energise the output.

Pressing the start button will energise the Fuel Solenoid output, then the Starter Motor
output. The button should be pressed for the duration of the crank period.

When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the
Alternator output.

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated (which is fixed at 12
seconds), allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine Temperature and Charge Fail to stabilise without
triggering the fault.

Turning the key to STOP de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.

NOTE: - The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can
not be changed.

NOTE: - If the generator has not started when the start button has been released
or the generator fails once it is running, the key switch must be turned to STOP and

then back to before another start can be invoked.

NOTE: - If pre-heat is required during cranking, the pre-heat button should be

pressed at the same time as the start button.

NOTE: - The 701HC start button is represented by

1.1 WARNINGS
Warnings are used to warn the operator of an impending fault

BATTERY CHARGE FAILURE, if the module does not detect a voltage from the warning light
terminal on the auxiliary charge alternator, the icon will illuminate.

1.2 SHUTDOWNS
Shutdowns are latching and stop the Generator. The alarm must be cleared, and the fault removed
to reset the module. In the event of a shutdown the appropriate icon will be illuminated

Auxiliary Input, if the auxiliary input is energised an immediate shutdown will occur. The icon
will illuminate.

NOTE: - If the Auxiliary input is used to shutdown the engine, the fault must be cleared
before the unit can be reset and the generator restarted.

LOW OIL PRESSURE, if the module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low
oil pressure switch setting, after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown will occur.
The icon will illuminate.

HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE if the module detects that the engine coolant temperature has
exceeded the high engine temperature switch setting, after the Safety On timer has expired, a
shutdown will occur.
The icon will illuminate.

OVERSPEED, if the engine speed exceeds the pre-set trip (14% above the nominal frequency) a
shutdown is initiated. Overspeed is not delayed, it is an immediate shutdown.
The icon will illuminate.

NOTE: - During the start-up sequence the overspeed trip level is extended to 24%
above the normal frequency for the duration of the safety timer to allow an extra trip level
margin. This is used to prevent nuisance tripping on start-up.

NOTE: - The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can
not be changed.

2 CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
The only parameter to be configured is the nominal frequency, either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The
change is made via a switch which is accessible through a slot in the base of the module, (see
photo)
60Hz-50Hz Switch

60Hz 50Hz

This switch adjusts the over speed trip form 57 Hz to 68 Hz, and over shoot from 62 Hz to 70
Hz.

5 SOLID STATE OUTPUTS
DSEs utilisation of Solid State Outputs gives many advantages, the main points being:
No Moving Parts
Fully Overload / Short Circuit Protected.
Smaller dimensions hence lighter, thinner and cheaper than conventional relays.
Less power required making them far more reliable.

The main difference from conventional outputs is that solid state outputs switch to negative (ve)
when active. This type of output is normally used with an automotive or plug in relay.
