DSE5310 & DSE5320
AUTO START & AUTO MAINS FAILURE CONTROL MODULES (ELECTRONIC ENGINE ENABLED)
DSE5310
The DSE5310 is an Automatic 
Start Control Module designed to 
automatically start and stop diesel 
and gas generating sets that 
include non electronic and 
electronic engines. The module 
also provides advanced engine 
monitoring and protection features.
The module has the ability to 
monitor under speed, over speed, 
charge failure, emergency stop, 
low oil pressure, high engine 
temperature, fail to start, fail to 
stop, under/over generator volts, 
over current, under/over generator 
frequency, low/high DC battery 
volts, low fuel alarm and loss of the 
speed sensing signal. The module 
displays fault conditions on the 
LCD display and via the LED 
indicators on the front.
The DSE5320 is an Automatic Mains 
(utility) Failure Control Module and 
includes all the features of the 
DSE5310 plus the abilityto monitor 
a mains (utility) supply. Upon 
detection of a mains (utility) failure 
the module automatically starts the 
generating set. Once the mains 
(utility) power has been restored the 
module instructs the generating set 
to stop.
Both modules include RS232 or 
RS485 communication capabilities 
for linking to a PC, sending SMS 
messages and interfacing with new 
and existing building management 
systems.

COMMUNICATIONS
The DSE5310 & DSE5320 have a number of different communication 
capabilities.
SMS Messaging
When the module detects an alarm condition, it has the ability to send an 
SMS message to a dedicated mobile number, notifying an engineer of the 
problem. (GSM Modem and SIM Card required)
Remote Communications
When the module detects an alarm condition, it dials out using suitable 
modem, to a PC notifying the user of the exact alarm condition.
Building Management
The module has been designed to be integrated into new and existing 
building management systems.
PC Software
The module has the ability to be configured and monitored from a remote 
PC, using the DSE810 interface.
EVENT LOG
The module includes a comprehensive event log that shows the 30 most 
recent alarm conditions and the date and time that they occurred. This 
function assists the user when fault finding and maintaining a generating set.
INSTRUMENTATION
The modules provide advanced metering facilities, displaying the information on 
the LCD display. The information can be accessed using the display scroll push 
buttons located next to the LCD display.
