2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE7450 DC Generator Controller, part of the DSE
Genset® 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 DSE7450 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 DSE7450 controller has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator, manually or automatically via various means to charge a bank of batteries. The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSE7450 controller 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 a common audible alarm. The LCD display indicates the fault.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of complex features:
Text based LCD display (supporting multiple languages).
True RMS Voltage monitoring.
DC voltage, current and power measurement for battery bank monitoring
Communications capability (RS232, RS485 or Ethernet)
Engine parameter monitoring.
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
• Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.
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 fascia configuration editor allows adjustment of a subset 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.

3.6.1 SHUNT CONNECTION
Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the sensing wires, incorrect orientation will lead to negative current readings. To test the orientation, run the generator and supply load. Ensure all current readings are of correct polarity.
3.6.2 SHUNT ACCURACY
Ensure the correct shunts are chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing overcurrent protection, ensure the shunt is capable of measuring the overload level you wish to protect against, and at the accuracy level you require without exceeding the maximum mV input.
For instance, this may mean fitting a larger shunt than required to measure overload currents which will reduce the resolution of the reading.
The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale mV reading. To maintain this accuracy you should fit accuracy class 0.5 or better.
You should check with your shunt manufacturer for further advice on selecting your shunts.

3.7.3 CHARGE FAIL INPUT
Minimum voltage 0V Maximum voltage 35V (plant supply) Resolution 0.2V Accuracy ± 1% of max measured voltage Excitation Active circuit constant power output Output Power 2.5W Nominal @12V and 24V Current at 12V 210mA Current at 24V 105mA
The charge fail input is actually 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.

1W. Maximum frequency 10,000Hz Resolution 6.25 RPM Accuracy ±25 RPM Flywheel teeth 10 to 500
NOTE: DSE can supply a suitable magnetic pickup device, available in two body thread lengths: DSE Part number 020-012 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 2½” thread length DSE Part number 020-013 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 4” thread length
Magnetic Pickup devices can often be ‘shared’ between two or more devices. For example, one device can often supply the signal to both the module and the engine governor. The possibility of this depends upon the amount of current that the magnetic pickup can supply.

3.9 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE
3.9.1 CAN INTERFACE
Modules are fitted with the CAN interface as standard and are capable of receiving engine data from engine CAN controllers compliant with the CAN standard. CAN enabled engine controllers monitor the engine’s operating
parameters such as engine speed, oil pressure, engine temperature (among others) in order to closely monitor and control the engine. The industry standard communications interface (CAN) transports data gathered by the engine controller interface. This allows generator controllers to access these engine parameters with no physical connection to the sensor device.
NOTE: For further details for connections to CAN enabled engines and the functions available with each engine type, refer to the manual Electronic Engines and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004
Specification

3.9.2 USB CONNECTION
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:
DSE7450 Controller
DSE Configuration Suite PC Software
(Supplied on configuration suite software CD or available from www.deepseaplc.com).
USB cable Type A to Type B. (This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a USB printer)
DSE can supply this cable if required : PC Configuration interface lead (USB type A – type B) DSE Part No 016-125
NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.
NOTE: Refer to DSE7450 PC Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-169) for further
details on configuring, monitoring and control.

3.9.4 RS232
The RS232 port on the controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol. The Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical Support Department.
RS232 is for short distance communication (max 15m) and is typically used to connect the controller to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.
Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS232 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of USB to RS232 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an RS232 port.

3.9.5 RS485
The RS485 port on the series controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol. The DSE Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical Support Department.
RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices) and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km when using Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc. The various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote generator can be viewed or changed.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which is more suited to longer distance connections).

3.9.6 ETHERNET
The Ethernet port on the series controller supports the Modbus TCP protocol. The DSE Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical Support Department.
Ethernet is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).
One advantage of the Ethernet interface is the ability to interface into an existing LAN (Local Area Network) connection for remote connection via an internet connection. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc.
The various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote generator can be viewed or changed.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to Ethernet (which is more suited to longer distance connections).

3.9.6.5 FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS
As modem/routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a complete guide to their use with the module. However it is possible to give a description of the requirements in generic terms. For details of how to achieve the connection to your modem/router you are referred to the supplier of your modem/router equipment.
The module makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE Configuration Suite software.
You must configure your modem/router to allow inbound traffic on this port. For more information you are referred to your WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer.
It is also important to note that if the port assigned (setting from software “Modbus Port Number”) is already in use on the LAN, the module cannot be used and another port must be used.
Outgoing Firewall rule
As the module makes its user interface available to standard web browsers, all communication uses the chosen port. It is usual for a firewall to make the same port outgoing open for communication.
Incoming traffic (virtual server)
Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as the modem/router gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public external network") and a local (or "internal private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers.
For our application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP address we need to access the site from an external (internet) location.
When the requests reach the modem/router, we want this passed to a ‘virtual server’ for handling, in our case this is the module.
Result : Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set within the configuration software on the LAN for handling.
NOTE: Refer to DSE7450 PC Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-169) for further details on configuring, monitoring and control.

This gives the possibility of : Maximum 32 additional 0-10V or 4-20mA outputs (DSE2152) Maximum 80 additional Relay outputs (DSE2157) Maximum 80 additional LED indicators Maximum 24 additional Ratio-metric or Thermocouple inputs (DSE2133). Maximum 40 additional inputs (All can be configured as either digital, resistive, 0-10V or 4-20mA when using DSE2131)
NOTE: As a termination resistor is internally fitted to the host controller, the host controller must be the ‘first’ unit on the DSENet®. A termination resistor MUST be fitted to the ‘last’ unit on the DSENet®. For connection details, you are referred to the section entitled ‘typical wiring diagram’ elsewhere in this document.
NOTE: The DSE7450 module does not support the DSE2510/2520 remote display modules.
3.10.1 DSENET® USED FOR MODBUS ENGINE CONNECTION
As DSENet® utilises an RS485 hardware interface, this port can be configured for connection to Cummins Modbus engines (Engines fitted with Cummins GCS). This leaves the RS485 interface free for connection to remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building Management System, PLC or PC RS485 port).
While this is a very useful feature in some applications, the obvious drawback is that the DSENet® interface is no longer available for connection to expansion devices.
Example of configuring the DSENet® for connection to Cummins QST GCS using the DSE Configuration Suite Software:

3.11 SOUNDER
The module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and electrical trip alarms.
Sounder level 64db @ 1m
3.11.1 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE Configuration Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by configuring an auxiliary input for “Alarm Mute” (if required). The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate ‘in parallel’ with each other. Either signal will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

NOTE: Terminals 20 and 21 are not fitted to the controller.
NOTE: It is VERY important that terminal 15 (sensor common) is soundly connected to an earth point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point, to terminal 15 directly, and not use this earth for other connections.
NOTE: If you use PTFE insulating tape on the sensor thread when using earth return sensors, ensure you do not insulate the entire thread, as this will prevent the sensor body from being earthed via the engine block.

5.2.7 EVENT LOG
The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes. The log size has been increased in the module over past module updates and is always subject to change. At the time of writing, the modules log is capable of storing the last 250 log entries.
Under default factory settings, the event log only includes shutdown and electrical trip alarms logged (The event log does not contain Warning alarms); however, this is configurable by the system designer using the DSE Configuration Suite software.
Once the log is full, any subsequent shutdown alarms will overwrite the oldest entry in the log. Hence, the log will always contain the most recent shutdown alarms. The module logs the alarm, along with the date and time of the event (or engine running hours if configured to do so). If the module is configured and connected to send SMS text

5.2.9 SERIAL PORT
5.2.9.1 RS232 SERIAL PORT
This section is included to give information about the RS232 serial port and external modem (if connected). The items displayed on this page will change depending upon configuration of the module. You are referred to your system supplier for further details.
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS232 port to be enabled with no modem connected, operating at 19200 baud, Modbus slave address 10.
Module connected to an RS232 telephone modem
When the module is powered up, it will send ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the modem does not ‘hang up’.
If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.
If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then if the modem is dialled, it will answer after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings)’. Once the call is established, all data is passed from the dialling PC and the module.
If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module will dial out whenever an alarm is generated. Note that not all alarms will generate a dial out; this is dependant upon module configuration of the event log. Any item configured to appear in the event log will cause a dial out.

If the Modem and module communicate successfully:
2)
In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically reset and initialisation is attempted once more:
3)
In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display will continuously cycle between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and attempts to communicate with it again, this will continue until correct communication is established with the modem. In this instance, you should check connections and verify the modem operation.
Description Of Controls

Example 2 – Module connected to a modem.
Example 3 – Modem status of a GSM modem
Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator. These can be a useful troubleshooting tool.
In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an ordinary telephone. There should be two rings, followed by the modem answering the call and then ‘squealing’. If this does not happen, you should check all modem connections and double check with the SIM provider that it is a DATA SIM and can operate as a data modem. DATA is NOT the same as FAX or GPRS and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
NOTE: In the case of GSM modems, it is important that a DATA ENABLED SIM is used. This is often a different number than the ‘voice number’ and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
If the GSM modem is not purchased from DSE, ensure that it has been correctly set to operate at 9600 baud.

5.2.9.2 RS485 SERIAL PORT
This section is included to give information about the currently selected serial port and external modem (if connected). The items displayed on this page will change depending upon configuration of the module. You are referred to your system supplier for further details.
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS485 port to operating at 19200 baud, modbus slave address 10.
Module RS485 port configured for connection to a modbus master.
The modules operate as a modbus RTU slave device. In a modbus system, there can be only one Master, typically a PLC, HMI system or PC SCADA system.
This master requests for information from the modbus slave (The module) and may (in control systems) also send request to change operating modes etc. Unless the Master makes a request, the slave is ‘quiet’ on the data link.
The factory settings are for the module to communicate at 19200 baud, modbus slave address 10. To use the RS485 port, ensure that ‘port usage’ is correctly set using the DSE Configuration Suite Software. Required settings are shown below.
‘Master inactivity timeout’ should be set to at least twice the value of the system scan time. For example if a modbus master PLC requests data from the module once per second, the timeout should be set to at least 2 seconds.
The DSE Modbus Gencomm document containing register mappings inside the DSE module is available upon request from support@deepseaplc.com. Email your request along with the serial number of your DSE module to ensure the correct information is sent to you.

6.1 CONTROL
Control of the module is via push buttons mounted on the front of the module with STOP/RESET, MANUAL, TEST, AUTO, ALARM MUTE and START functions. For normal operation, these are the
only controls which need to be operated. The smaller push buttons are used to access further information such as mains voltage or to change the state of the load switching devices when in manual mode. Details of their operation are provided later in this document.
NOTE: The following descriptions detail the sequences followed by a module containing the standard ‘factory configuration’. Always refer to your configuration source for the exact sequences and timers observed by any particular module in the field.
CAUTION: The module may instruct an engine start event due to external influences. Therefore, it is possible for the engine to start at any time without warning. Prior to performing any maintenance on the system, it is recommended that steps are taken to remove the battery and isolate supplies.
NOTE: This control module has PLC functionality built in. This can have change the standard operation when used. (Default configuration the no PLC is set. See software manual for more information)
Operation
69
6.2 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS
Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop/Reset
mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and the module is in Stop mode, the module will automatically instruct the changeover device to unload the generator (‘Close Generator becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel supply de-energises and the engine comes to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be present while operating in this mode, a remote start will not occur. Manual This mode allows manual control of the generator functions. Once in Manual
mode the module will respond to the start button, start the engine, and
run off load. If the engine is running off-load in the Manual
mode and a
remote start signal becomes present, the module will automatically instruct
the changeover device to place the generator on load (‘Close Generator becomes active (if used)). Upon removal of the remote start signal, the
generator remains on load until either selection of the ‘STOP/RESET or
‘AUTO modes.
For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Manual operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
Test
This button places the module into its ‘Test’ mode. This allows an on load test of the generator.
Once in Test
mode the module will respond to the start button, start
the engine, and run on load.
For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Test operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
Auto This button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the module to control the function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor the remote start input, mains supply and battery charge status and once a start request is made, the set will be automatically started and placed on load. Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module will then await the next start event. For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Auto operation’ elsewhere in this manual.
Mute / Lamp Test
This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs as a lamp test feature/ When correctly configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU, pressing this

7.2 PROTECTIONS DISABLED
User configuration is possible to prevent Shutdown / Electrical Trip alarms from stopping the engine. Under such conditions, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator of this status.
This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for “Warning only”, “Protections Disabled”, “Run to Destruction”, “War mode” or other similar wording.
When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature either permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer provides this switch (not DSE) so its location will vary depending upon manufacturer, however it normally takes the form of a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switch is operated.
The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. Writing a configuration to the controller that has “Protections Disabled” configured, results in a warning message appearing on the PC screen for the user to acknowledge before the controller’s configuration is changed. This prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.
7.2.1 INDICATION / WARNING ALARMS
Under Indication or Warning alarms:
The module operation is unaffected by the Protections Disabled feature. See sections entitled Indications and Warnings elsewhere in this document.
7.2.2 SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARMS

7.5 ELECTRICAL TRIPS
NOTE: Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See
the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.
Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the electrical trip condition the module will de-energise the ‘Close Generator’ Output to remove the load from the generator. Once this has occurred the module will start the Cooling timer and allow the engine to cool off-load before shutting down the engine. The alarm must be accepted and cleared, and the fault removed to reset the module.
Example
1/2 Alarm High Coolant Temperature
Electrical Trip
Electrical trips are latching alarms and stop the Generator. Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset
to reset the module.
NOTE: The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the alarm condition remains, it will not be possible to reset the unit (The exception to this is the Low Oil Pressure alarm and similar ‘active from safety on’ alarms, as the oil pressure will be low with the engine at rest).

7.7 DC OVERCURRENT WARNING/ ELECTRICAL TRIP/SHUTDOWN ALARM
The overcurrent alarm combines a simple warning trip level with a fully functioning IDMT curve for thermal protection.
7.7.1 IMMEDIATE WARNING
If the Immediate Warning is enabled, the controller generates a warning alarm as soon as the Trip level is reached. The alarm automatically resets once the generator loading current falls below the Trip level (unless All Warnings are latched is enabled). For further advice, consult your generator supplier.
7.7.2 IDMT ALARM
If the IDMT Alarm is enabled, the controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’ when the trip level is passed.
If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the IDMT Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action).
High Current Shutdown is a latching alarm and stops the Generator.
Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset
to reset the module.
High Current Electrical Trip is a latching alarm and removes the generator from the load, before stopping the Generator after the off load cooling timer.
Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset to reset the module.
The higher the overload, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula:
T = t / ((IA / I T) – 1)
2
Where: T is the tripping time in seconds
IA is the actual current I
T
is the delayed over-current trip point
t is the time multiplier setting and also represents the tripping time in seconds at twice full load (when I
A
/ IT = 2).
Protections
96
Factory settings for the IDMT Alarm are as follows (screen capture from the DSE Configuration Suite PC software):
These settings provide for normal running of the generator up to full load. If full load is surpassed, the Immediate Warning alarm is triggered, the set continues to run.
The effect of an overload on the DC wiring is that it begin to overheat; the aim of the IDMT alarm is to prevent the wiring being overload (heated) too much. The amount of time that the set can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is.
With typical settings as above, the tripping curve is followed as shown below.
This allows for overload of the wiring whereby 110% overload is permitted for 1 hour.
If the load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the wiring has not cooled sufficiently.

7.8 DC SHORT CIRCUIT ALARM
If the Short Circuit alarm is enabled, the controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’. If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electrical trip as selected in Action).
The higher the Short Circuit, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula :
T = K x 0.14 / ((I / Is)
0.02
-1)
Where: T is the tripping time in seconds (accurate to +/- 5% or +/- 50ms (whichever is the greater)
K is the time multiplier setting I is the actual current measured Is is the trip setting value

7.9 MAINTENANCE ALARM
Depending upon module configuration one or more levels of engine or plant battery maintenance alarm may occur based upon a configurable schedule.
Example 1
Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite Software showing the configuration of Plant Battery Maintenance Alarm 1 and Maintenance Alarm 2.
When activated, the maintenance alarm can be either a warning (set continues to run) or shutdown (running the set is not possible). Resetting the maintenance alarm is normally actioned by the site service engineer after performing the required maintenance. The method of reset is either by:
Activating a input that has been configured to maintenance x reset, where x is the number of the maintenance alarm (1 to 3).
Pressing the maintenance reset button in the DSE Configuration Suite, Maintenance section.
Example 2
Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite Software showing the configuration of a digital input for Reset DC Battery Maintenance Alarm

Example 3
Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite Software showing the Maintenance Alarm Reset ‘button’ in the DSE Configuration Suite SCADA | MAINTENANCE section.
Scheduler
100
8 SCHEDULER
The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and stopping the set. Up to 16 scheduled start/stop sequences can be configured to repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle. Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.
Example
Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite Software showing the configuration of the Exercise Scheduler.
In this example the set will start at 09:00 on Monday and run for 5 hours, then start at 13:30 on Tuesday and run for 30 minutes.
8.1.1 STOP MODE
Scheduled runs will not occur when the module is in STOP/RESET
mode.
8.1.2 MANUAL MODE
Scheduled runs will not occur when the module is in MANUAL
mode.
Activation of a Scheduled Run ‘On Load’ when the module is operating OFF LOAD in Manual mode will force the set to run ON LOAD
8.1.3 AUTO MODE
Scheduled runs will operate ONLY if the module is in AUTO mode with no Shutdown or Electrical Trip alarm present.
If the module is in STOP
or MANUAL mode when a scheduled run begins, the engine
will not be started. However, if the module is moved into AUTO mode during a scheduled run, the engine will be called to start.
Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to inhibit a scheduled run.
If the engine is running OFF LOAD in AUTO mode and a scheduled run configured to ‘On Load’ begins, the set is placed ON LOAD for the duration of the Schedule.
8.1.4 TEST MODE
Scheduled runs will not occur when the module is in TEST
mode.
Activation of a Scheduled Run ‘On Load’ when the module is operating OFF LOAD in Test mode will force the set to run ON LOAD
