1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE3110 module.
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.deepseaelectronics.com
The DSE3xxx series is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common platform.
This allows the generator OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a specific
application.
The DSE3110 module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator, and if
required, transfer the load to the generator either manually or automatically.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
• Icon based LCD display

• True RMS Voltage monitoring
• USB Communications
• Engine parameter monitoring.
• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
• Engine ECU interface to electronic engines (specify on ordering)
• Magnetic pickup interface for engine only applications (specify on ordering)
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 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.

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.

NOTE: For additional length, the DSE124 CAN & MSC Extender is available. For more
information, refer to DSE Publication: 057-116 DSE124 Operator Manual
The modules are fitted with a CAN interface as standard and are capable
of receiving engine data from engine ECU/ECMs compliant with the CAN
J1939 standard.
ECU/ECMs monitor the engine’s operating parameters such as speed,

oil pressure, coolant temperature (among others) in order to closely monitor and control the engine.
The industry standard communications interface (CAN) transports data gathered by the engine’s
ECU/ECM using the J1939 protocol. This allows engine controllers such as DSE to access these
engine parameters with no physical connection to the sensor device.
The ECU Port is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device and allows for
connection to CAN Scanner, PLC and CAN controllers (to name just a few devices). The operator is
then able to view the various operating parameters.

4.1 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS

Icon Description
Stop/Reset Mode
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset Mode . This clears any alarm
conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is
running and the module is put into Stop mode, the module automatically instructs
the generator to unload (Close Gen becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel supply
de-energises and the engine comes to a standstill. Should any form of remote start
signal be present while operating in this mode, a start does not occur.
Auto Mode
This button places the module into its Auto Mode . This mode allows the
module to control the function of the generator automatically. The module monitors
the Remote Start input and battery charge status and once a start request is made,
the set is automatically started and placed on load (Close Gen becomes active (if
used)).
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module removes the load from the
generator and shut the set down observing the Stop Delay timer and Cooling Down
timer as necessary (Close Gen deactivates (if used)). The module then awaits the
next start event. For further details, see the more detailed section of Operation
elsewhere in this manual.
Manual/Start Mode
This button starts the engine and runs it on load. For further details, see the more
detailed section of Operation elsewhere in this manual.

is stopped.
Page 35 of 56 057-086 ISSUE: 6

Operation
5.2 STOP/RESET MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to External Panel Lock is active, changing module
modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments is NOT affected by panel lock.
Stop/Reset Mode is activated by pressing the Stop/Reset Mode button.

The Stop/Reset icon is displayed to indicate Stop/Reset Mode operations.
In Stop/Reset Mode , the module removes the generator from load (Close Gen deactivates
immediately (if used and necessary)) before stopping the engine if it is already running.
If the engine does not stop when requested, the Fail To Stop alarm is activated (subject to the
setting of the Fail to Stop timer). To detect the engine at rest the following must occur:
• Engine speed is zero

• Generator AC Voltage and Frequency must be zero.
• Engine Charge Alternator Voltage must be zero.
• Oil pressure switch or CAN message must indicate low oil pressure.
When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE
Configuration Suite PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.
Any latched alarms are reset when Stop/Reset Mode is entered if the fault is no longer active.
The engine is not started when in Stop/Reset Mode . If remote start signals are given, the input is
ignored until Auto Mode is entered.
When the unit is configured for Power Save Mode and has been left in Stop/Reset Mode with no
presses of the fascia buttons, the module enters Power Save Mode. To ‘wake’ the module, press any
fascia control buttons.

Operation
5.3 AUTOMATIC MODE
Auto Mode is activated by pressing the Auto Mode button.

The Auto Mode icon is displayed to indicate Auto Mode operations if no alarms are present.
Auto mode allows the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with
no user intervention.
5.3.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins.

Starting requests come from the following sources:
• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start On/Off Load.
5.3.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the Start Delay timer begins.
When 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.
NOTE: With the 3110-xxx-02 CAN variant, compatible ECU’s receive the start command
via CAN and transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller.
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. If this sequence continues 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 factory configured to be
derived from the AC alternator output frequency but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic
Pickup mounted on the flywheel or from the CAN link to the engine ECU depending on module
variant.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect under
speed or over speed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Low Oil
Pressure, High Engine Temperature, Underspeed and any delayed User Configured digital inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
Page 37 of 56 057-086 ISSUE: 6

Operation
5.3.3 ENGINE RUNNING
NOTE: The Close Gen remain inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents
excessive wear on the engine.
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine Running icon
is displayed.
Once the generator is available, it is then placed on load (Close Gen output becomes active (if used))
if requested.
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. If another start request be made during the Cooling Down timer,
the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the load is removed from the
generator (Close Gen output deactivates (if used)) and the Cooling Down timer is initiated.
The Cooling Down 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.
After the Cooling Down timer has expired, the set is stopped.

stabilise without triggering the fault.
5.4.3 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the animated Engine Running icon
is displayed.
Once the generator is available, it is then placed on load (Close Gen output becomes active (if used)).
Once the generator has been placed on load, it is not automatically removed. To manually remove the
load either:
• Press the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode. The set observes all
Auto Mode start requests and stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping
Sequence.
• Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to remove load and stop the generator.

Operation
5.4.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE
In Manual/Start Mode the set continues to run until either:
• The Stop/Reset Mode button is pressed – The Close Gen output is de-activated
immediately and the set immediately stops.
• The Auto Mode button is pressed. The set observes all Auto Mode start requests and
stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping Sequence.
5.5 ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATIONS

Depending upon the configuration of the system by the generator supplier, the system may have
selectable configurations (for example to select between 50 Hz and 60 Hz). If this has been enabled
the generator supplier is to advise how this selection is to be made (usually by operating an external
selector switch or by selecting the required configuration file in the module’s front panel configuration
editor).

Commissioning
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.
NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link this input to the DC Negative or
disable the input. For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-087
• 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 starts, and the starter motor disengages automatically. If
not then check that the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and that the fuel solenoid is
operating. The engine now runs up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is present, check the
alarm condition for validity, then check input wiring. The engine continues to run for an indefinite
period. It is possible currently to view the engine and alternator parameters.
• Press the Auto Mode button, the engine runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop.
The generator stays in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal present on the
Remote Start input.
• Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence
commences, and the engine runs up to operational speed. Once the generator is available the
Close Gen output (if configured) activates. If not, check the wiring to the generator contactors.
Check the Warming Up timer has timed out.
• Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence begins. After the pre-set time, the generator
is unloaded. The generator then runs for the pre-set Cooling Down timer, then shutdown into its
standby mode.
• 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 the DSE
Technical Support Department
