2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8661 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 DSE86xx 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 DSE8661 modules have been designed to accommodate large distances between the mains
(utility) incoming switch and the common generator bus switch. The modules monitor the mains
(utility) supply and automatically start/stop one or more generators equipped with DSE8x10 modules
depending upon the status of the mains (utility) supply.
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 powerful A M microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
• Icon based CD display (supporting multiple languages).
• True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring
• Communications capability (USB, RS232, RS485 and Ethernet)
• Event Log and instrumentation Data Log
• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
• Synchronising and Load Sharing with load demand start/stop with DSE8x10
• R.O.C.O. . and Vector Shift for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the mains supply.
• Integral PLC to help provide customisation where required
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 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.
