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.

2.7.2 CHARGER ALTERNATOR FAIL
The charge fail input is a combined input and output. Whenever the generator 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.

2.9.1 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE
2.9.1.1 USB CONNECTION (PC CONFIGURATION)
NOTE: DSE stock 2 m (6.5 feet) USB type A to type B cable, DSE Part Number: 016-125.
Alternatively, they are purchased from any PC or IT store.
NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-087
DSE3110 DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the controller.
Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then able to control the module, starting
or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.
Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
generator are available to be viewed or changed.
To connect a module to a PC by USB, the following items are required:
•DSE3110 Controller
•DSE Configuration Suite PC Software
(Available from www.deepseaelectronics.com).
•USB cable Type A to Type B.
(This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a
USB printer)

2.9.1.2 CAN PORT (J1939)
NOTE: Only applicable to 3110-xxx-02 CAN variant.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-087
DSE3110 DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
NOTE: For further details on connection to electronic engines, refer to DSE Publication:
057-004 Electronic Engines And DSE Wiring
NOTE: Screened 120 impedance cable specified for use with CAN must be used for the
CAN link.
DSE stock and supply Belden cable 9841 which is a high quality 120 impedance cable
suitable for CAN use (DSE part number 016-030)
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.
2.10 ACCUMULATED INSTRUMENTATION
NOTE: When an accumulated instrumentation value exceeds the maximum number as
listed below, the value is reset and begins counting from zero again.
The number of logged Engine Hours and Number of Starts can be set/reset using the DSE
Configuration Suite PC software. Depending upon module configuration, this may have been PIN

•Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until only the pointed end is protruding from
the clip.
•Insert the three ‘prongs’ of the fixing clip into the slots in the side of the module case.
•Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the module) ensuring all three prongs of
the clip are inside their allotted slots.
•Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they make contact with the panel fascia.
•Turn the screw a quarter of a turn to secure the module into the panel fascia. Care must be
taken not to over tighten the fixing clip screws

2.11.5 OPTIONAL SILICON SEALING GASKET
NOTE: For purchasing an additional silicon gasket from DSE, see the section entitled
Maintenance, Spares, Repair and Servicing elsewhere in this document.
The optional silicon gasket provides improved sealing between module and the panel fascia.
The gasket is fitted to the module before installation into the panel fascia.
Take care to ensure the gasket is correctly fitted to the module to maintain the integrity of the seal.

Under the scope of IEEE 37.2, function numbers can also be used to
represent functions in microprocessor devices and software programs.
The controller is device number 11L-8000 (Multifunction device
protecting Line (generator) –module).
As the module is configurable by the generator OEM, the functions
covered by the module vary. Under the module’s factory configuration,
the device numbers included within the module are :
2 –Time Delay Starting Or Closing Relay
5 –Stopping Device
6 –Starting Circuit Breaker
8 –Control Power Disconnecting Device
11 –Multifunction Device
12 –Overspeed Device
14 –Underspeed Device
26 –Apparatus Thermal Device

First Digit
Second Digit
Protection against contact and ingress of solid objects
Protection against ingress of water
0
No protection
0
No protection
1
Protected against ingress solid objects with a
diameter of more than 50 mm. No protection
against deliberate access, e.g. with a hand, but
large surfaces of the body are prevented from
approach.
1
Protection against dripping water falling vertically. No
harmful effect must be produced (vertically falling drops).
2
Protected against penetration by solid objects with
a diameter of more than 12 mm. Fingers or similar
objects prevented from approach.
