1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE: This entire manual must be carefully read before working on the DSE8620 MKII
module.
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8620 MKII module and is
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. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of
this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaelectronics.com
The DSE86xx MKII 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 DSE8620 MKII module has been designed to allow the operator to start, stop and synchronise
the generator, and if required, transfer the load to the generator either manually or automatically.
Mains (Utility) Supply sensing is also provided that allows for Automatic Mains Failure (A.M.F.)
functionality along with mains parallel options.
The DSE8620 MKII module contains two software applications, a DSE8620 MKII and DSE8610 MKII.
This allows to convert the DSE8620 MKII module into a DSE8610 MKII for multiple generator
synchronising application, by selection in the Application menu. Detailed instruction is found in the
DSE8610 MKII & DSE8620 MKII Application Selection Menu elsewhere in this document.
Synchronising and Load Sharing features are included within the controller, along with the necessary
protections for such a system. This provides the functionality to operate in parallel with the mains
supply.
The DSE8620 MKII 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
the text LCD display.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
•Text based LCD display
•True RMS Voltage
•Current and Power monitoring
•USB, RS232, RS485 and Ethernet Communications
•Engine parameter monitoring.
•Mains (Utility) Supply monitoring.
•Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
•Engine ECU interface to electronic engines including Tier 4 engines.
•Synchronising and load sharing with the Mains source
•Integral PLC to help provide customisation where required
•Fuel tank level monitoring to track fuel filling operations and detect fuel leak/theft
•Data Logging
•Direct connection to governor / AVR for synchronising and load sharing
•R.O.C.O.F. and vector shift protection for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the
mains.

Introduction

Page 10 of 222
The DSE Configuration Suite PC 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.
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. Detailed instruction is found in the Specification section the
