DSE Model 4110 AutoStart Operators Manual

4 057-022 4110 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 5.1 18/06/2007 JR

1 INTRODUCTION

The DSE 4110 automatic start module has been primarily designed to allow the user to start and stop the
generator, transferring the load automatically to the generator. If required the generator can be started and
stopped manually.

The DSE 4110 module has a built in LCD hours counter, which displays the number of hours that the generator
has run, to the nearest 1/10 hour.

The DSE 4110 module monitors the engine, utilising 8 LEDs to indicate fault conditions. When a fault is detected
the generator is automatically shut down, giving a true first up fault condition.

The customer, using the module’s front panel configuration editor, can alter selective operational sequences,
timers and alarm trips.

The module is housed in a fully enclosed robust plastic case for front panel mounting, offering a high rating of IP56
with the optional gasket. Connections to the module are via locking plug and sockets.

3 OPERATION

The following description details 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.

FIG 1

3.1 AUTOMATIC MODE OF OPERATION

This mode is activated by pressing the Auto

pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms

this action.
The start sequence is initiated when the remote start input is activated. To allow for false remote start signals, the

Start Delay timer is initiated. After this delay, if the pre-heat output option is selected then the pre-heat timer is
initiated and the corresponding auxiliary output (if configured) will energise.

NOTE:- If the Remote Start signal is removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit will return to a

stand-by state.

After the above delays, the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then one second later, the Starter Motor is engaged.
The engine is cranked for a 10-second period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter

motor is disengaged for a 10-second rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the 3 starting attempts,
the start sequence will be terminated and

Fail to Start

fault will be illuminated.

When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the Alternator
output. Rising oil pressure can also be used to disconnect the starter motor, however it cannot be used for
underspeed or overspeed detection.

DSE Model 4110 AutoStart Operators Manual

6 057-022 4110 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 5.1 18/06/2007 JR

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the
fault.

Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise before it
can be loaded.

Once the Warm Up timer has expired, the output Load Transfer is activated if it has been configured.
On removal of the Remote Start signal the Stop Delay timer is initiated. After which the Load Transfer output (if

configured) is deactivated and the Cool Down Period is initiated. After the Cool Down Period has elapsed, the
Fuel Solenoid is de-energised, bringing the generator to a stop.

NOTE:- The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can not be

changed.

NOTE:- The exercise scheduler can be used in AUTO mode, see the section entitled “Exercise

Scheduler” elsewhere in this manual for details.

3.2 MANUAL OPERATION

To initiate a start sequence in MANUAL, press the

pushbutton.

NOTE:- There is no Start Delay in this mode of operation.

If the pre-heat output option is selected this timer is then initiated and the auxiliary output selected is energised.
After the above delay the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then the Starter Motor is engaged.
The engine is cranked for a 10 second period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter

motor is disengaged for the 10 second rest period. Should this sequence continue beyond the 3 cranking attempts,
the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start

fault will be displayed.

When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20 Hz measured from the Alternator
output. Rising oil pressure can also be used to disconnect the starter motor, however it cannot be used for
underspeed or overspeed detection.

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer is activated, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine
Temperature, Under-speed and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the fault.

NOTE:- The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can not be

changed.

Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, is initiated, allowing the engine to stabilise before it
can be loaded.

The generator will continue to run until the Auto mode is selected.
If Auto mode is selected and the automatic start not active, then the Remote Stop Delay Timer begins, after which

the Fuel Solenoid is de-energised, bringing the generator to a stop.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.

3.3 EXERCISE SCHEDULER

Available in module versions V1.3 and higher.

The exercise scheduler is used to give a 30-minute test run every seven days. The starting time is configurable and
repeated every week, but the run duration is fixed at 30 minutes.

The scheduler is configured as follows:

• Press and hold the button. After 6½ seconds, the LED beside the Auto button will extinguish. This

sets the ‘exercise run time’ to the current time.

• Release the button, the LED beside the Auto button will illuminate to show that the module is in

Auto mode. The exercise period will begin.

• After 30minutes, the set will stop; the same 30 minute exercise period will be repeated on a 7 day cycle so long

as the module is in the Auto mode.

• When the exercise timer is set, the Auto LED will blink every 3½ seconds. To cancel the timer, press and hold

the

button for 6½ seconds, the Auto LED will extinguish to show the timer has been cancelled and
will return to steady operation once the Auto button is released. Removing DC power from the module will also
reset the exercise timer.

NOTE: - If an output is configured to “load transfer” the exercise run will be ON-LOAD.

NOTE: - If remote start input is active, the set will continue to run beyond the end of the exercise

time as the set is then under the control of the remote start input.

4 PROTECTIONS

The module will indicate that an alarm has occurred by illuminating the relevant LED.

4.1 WARNINGS

Warnings are used to warn the operator of an impending fault
BATTERY CHARGE FAILURE, if the module does not detect a voltage from the warning light terminal on the

auxiliary charge alternator, the

icon will illuminate. (Either 8 Volts or 16 Volts depending on the configuration

of Nominal DC Voltage).
Inputs 1 and 2 can be configured as warnings or shutdowns. The relevant icon will be illuminated when the input is

active

4.2 SHUTDOWNS

Shutdowns are latching and stop the generator. The alarm must be cleared and the fault removed to reset the
module. In the event of a shutdown the appropriate icon will be illuminated

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 ‘delayed alarms’, as the oil pressure will be low with the engine at rest). Any subsequent
warnings or shutdowns that occur will be displayed steady, therefore only the first-up shutdown will
appear flashing.

NOTE:- The safety on time (used for delayed alarms) is pre set to 12 seconds and can not be
changed.

FAIL TO START, if the engine does not fire after the pre-set 3 attempts at starting, a shutdown will be initiated.
The

icon will illuminate.

LOW OIL PRESSURE, if the module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low oil pressure
switch after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown will occur.

The

icon will illuminate.

HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE, if the module detects that the engine coolant temperature has exceeded the high
engine temperature switch after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown will occur.

The

icon will illuminate.

OVERSPEED, if the engine speed exceeds the pre-set trip (14% above the nominal frequency) a shutdown is
initiated. Overspeed is not delayed, it is an immediate shutdown.

The

icon will illuminate.

NOTE:- During the start-up sequence the overspeed trip level is extended to 24% above the normal
frequency for the duration of the safety timer to allow an extra trip level margin. This is used to prevent
nuisance tripping on start-up.

UNDERSPEED, if the engine speed falls below the pre-set trip (20% of the nominal frequency) after the Safety On
timer has expired, a shutdown is initiated.

The

icon will illuminate.

Inputs 1 and 2 can be configured as warnings or shutdowns. The relevant icon will be illuminated when the input is
active
