1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8003 MKII 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 DSE8003 MKII is used in conjunction with the DSE73xx MKII (V4.2 and upwards), DSE74xx MKII
(V4.2 and upwards) and DSE8xxx MKII series of modules. The DSE8003 MKII is NOT a standalone
module.
The DSE73xx MKII, DSE74xx MKII and DSE8xxx MKII series are 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 DSE modules have been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator, and if
required, transfer the load to the generator either manually (via fascia mounted push buttons) or
automatically.
Synchronising and Load Sharing features are included within the DSE8xxx MKII 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 DSE genset modules monitor 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
a common audible alarm. The LCD display indicates the fault.
The powerful microprocessor contained within the module allows for of a range of enhanced features
when connected to a supported module:
•Text and image based colour 7” TFT LCD display (800 x 480 pixels)
•True RMS Voltage, Current and Power display.
•Engine parameter display.
Using a PC and the DSE SCADA Suite software allows alteration of the graphical interface.
Additionally, the DSE8003 MKII integral front panel configuration editor allows adjustment of
connected modules.
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.
