Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE335 module version 4.2
and later, part of the DSEATS range of products.
A separate document covers the DSE335 modules with firmware version prior to version 4.2.
The manual forms part of the product and must 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. Updates are not automatically informed. Any future updates of this
document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com
The module is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common platform. This
allows the OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a specific application.
The module has been designed to allow the operator to control the transfer of the load from Source 1
(S1) to Source 2 (S2), typically the mains supply and a standby generator either manually (via fascia
mounted push-buttons) or automatically upon S1 failure. Additionally if configured too, the module
automatically starts and stops the generator set (S2) depending upon the status of S1.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display to monitor
the supplies and indicating the operational status and fault conditions of the module.
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, Current and Power monitoring
Communications capability (RS485 or RS232)
Multiple AC supply monitoring
Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational
sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the modules integral front panel
configuration editor allows adjustment 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 modules 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.

2.6.1
V A RATING OF THE CTS
NOTE: Details for 4 mm cables are shown for reference only. The connectors on the DSE
modules are only suitable for cables up to 2.5 mm.
The V A burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5 V A. However depending upon the type and length of
cabling between the CTs and the module, CTs with a greater V A rating than the module are required.
The distance between the CTs and the
measuring module must be calculated
and cross-referenced against the chart
opposite to find the V A burden of the
cable itself.
If the CTs are fitted within the
alternator top box, the star point
(common) of the CTs must be
connected to system ground (earth) as
close as possible to the CTs. This
minimises the length of cable used to
connect the CTs to the DSE module.
Example.
If 1.5 mm cable is used and the
distance from the CT to the measuring
module is 20 m, then the burden of the
cable alone is approximately 15 V A.
As the burden of the DSE controller is
0.5 V A, then a CT with a rating of at
least 15 + 0.5 V = 15.5 V A must be
used.
If 2.5 mm cables are used over the
same distance of 20 m, then the
burden of the cable on the CT is
approximately 7 V A. CTs required in
this instance is at least 7.5 V A
(7 + 0.5).

2.6.2
CT POLARITY
NOTE: Take care to ensure correct polarity of the CT primary as shown above. If in doubt,
check with the CT supplier.
Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the CTs. Incorrect CT orientation leads to negative kW
readings when the set is supplying power. Take note that paper stick-on labels on CTs that show the
orientation are often incorrectly placed on the CT (!). It is more reliable to use the labelling in the case
moulding as an indicator to orientation (if available).
To test orientation, run the generator in island mode (not in parallel with any other supply) and load
the generator to around 10% of the set rating. Ensure the DSE module shows positive kW for all three
individual phase readings.

POLARITY OF CT PRIMARY
2.6.3
CT PHASING
Take particular care that the CTs are connected to the correct phases. For instance, ensure that the
CT on phase 1 is connected to the terminal on the DSE module intended for connection to the CT for
phase 1.
Additionally ensure that the voltage sensing for phase 1 is actually connected to generator phase 1.
Incorrect connection of the phases as described above results in incorrect power factor (PF)
measurements, which in turn results in incorrect kW measurements.
One way to check for this is to make use of a single-phase load. Place the load on each phase in turn,
run the generator and ensure the kW value appears in the correct phase. For instance if the load is
connected to phase 3, ensure the kW figure appears in phase 3 display and not in the display for
phase 1 or 2.
2.6.4
CT CLASS
Ensure the correct CT type is chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing overcurrent
protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level required to be protected against,
and at the accuracy level required.
For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P10 type) to maintain high accuracy while
the CT is measuring overload currents.
Conversely, if the DSE module is using the CT for instrumentation only (current protection is disabled
or not fitted to the controller) then measurement class CTs can be used. Again, bear in mind the
accuracy required. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To
maintain this accuracy fit Class 0.5 or Class 1 CTs.
Check with the CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting the CTs.

COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE

USB CONNECTION
NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-237
DSE335 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
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:
DSE335 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)

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.

For SMS only, a normal voice SIM card is required. This enables the controller to send SMS
messages to designated mobile phones upon status and alarm conditions.
For a data connection to a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software, a special CSD
(Circuit Switched Data) SIM card is required in order for the modem to answer an incoming
data call. Many pay as you go services do not provide a CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM
card.

2.9.1.5
RS485
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).
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, selecting operating
modes, etc.
The various operating parameters (such as output volts, currents, etc.) of the remote ATS can be
viewed or changed.

DSENET FOR EXPANSION MODULES
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.
DSENet is the interconnection cable between the host controller and the expansion module(s) and
must not be connect to any device other than DSE equipment designed for connection to the

2.10 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION

When an external alarm or indicator is 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 modules internal
sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate in parallel with each other.
Either signal mutes both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

Stop / Reset
This button places the module into its Stop / Reset
mode. This clears any
alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If S2 is on
load and the module is placed into Stop mode, the module automatically instructs
the changeover device to unload the S2 source (Close S2 Output becomes
inactive (if used)). If S2 is configured for a generator, the start signal given to the
generator controller is also removed. If a Remote Start signal is present while
operating in this mode, the remote start does not occur.
Manual
This button places the module into its Manual
mode to allow manual control of
the ATS functions. This starts S2 when configured as a generator, and runs it off
load.
For further details, please see the more detailed description of Manual operation
elsewhere in this document.
Auto
This button places the module into its Auto
mode. This mode allows the
module to control the function of S1 and S2 automatically. The module monitors
the remote start input and S1 supply status and once a start request is made, a
start request is given to S2 if configured to a generator and once available, placed
on load.
Upon removal of the starting signal, the module automatically transfers the load
from S2 and remove the start signal to the generator observing the return delay
timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module then awaits for the next start
event.

EVENT LOG
The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes.
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 electrical trip alarms (The event log does
not contain Warning alarms); however, this is configurable by the system designer using the DSE
Configuration Suite software.

RS232 SERIAL PORT
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS232 port to be enabled with no modem
connected, operating at 19200 baud, Modbus slave address 10.
This section is included to give information about the RS232 serial port and external modem (if
connected).
The items displayed on this page change depending upon configuration of the module. Refer to the
system supplier for further details.
Module Connected To an RS232 Telephone Modem
NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the
modem to dial out to a PC.
When the module is powered up, it sends 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, once the modem is
dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting initialisation strings). Once the call is
established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.
If the module is set for outgoing calls or for incoming and outgoing calls, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.

Module Connected To an RS232 GSM Modem

NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the
modem to dial out to a PC.
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.
When the module is powered up, it sends 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, once the modem is

If the module is set for outgoing calls or for incoming and outgoing calls, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.
Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator.
These are a useful troubleshooting tool.
In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an
ordinary telephone. After two rings, the modem answers the call and then starts squealing. If this
does not happen, 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.

Modem Initialisation Sequence

1) The modem attempts to communicate to the module
2) If the Modem and module communicate successfully:
3) In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically
reset and initialisation is attempted once more:
In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display continuously
cycles between Modem Reset and Modem Initialising as the module resets the modem and
attempts to communicate with it again, this continues until correct communication is established
with the modem. In this instance, check connections and verify the modem operation.

Module RS232 Port Configured For Connection to A Modbus Master

The modules operate as a modbus RTU slave device. In a modbus system, there is 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 RS232 port, ensure that port usage
is correctly set using the DSE Configuration

, the module removes S2 from load (if necessary) and removes the start signal
given to the generator controller (if S2 is configured as a generator and it is running).
If S2 is configured as a generator and it does not stop after the cooling down time, the Fail To Stop
alarm is activated (subject to if the Fail To Stop timer is enabled and its duration). To detect the
generator (S2) is at rest the following must occur:
S2 Frequency must be zero

S2 Voltage must be zero
Any latched alarms that have been cleared are reset when Stop mode
is entered.
S2 is not placed on load (or started if configured as a generator) when in Stop mode
start signals are given, the input is ignored until Auto

STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for false start/load requests such as S1 brownouts, the Start Delay timer begins. There are
individual start delay timers for each of the different start/load request types.
When all start/load requests are removed during the Start Delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by

If a start/load request is present but S2 does not go on load, an input configured to S2 Load Inhibit
could be active.

If all start/load requests are removed, the stopping sequence begins.
4.9.4
STOPPING SEQUENCE
The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the start/load request has been permanently removed
and isnt just a short term removal. In case another start request is made during the Return Delay (or
cooling down period when S2 is configured as a generator), the set returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the load is transferred back from
the S2 to the S1 supply and the Cooling timer is initiated (when S2 is configured as a generator).
The Cooling timer allows S2 (when configured as a generator) to run off load and cool sufficiently
before the start signal to the external generator control unit is removed. This is particularly important
where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.
After the Cooling timer has expired, the start signal given to the external generator controller is
removed..

4.11 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 in banks of 8 to either
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
starts at 09:00 on the first
Monday of each month and
run for 5 hours, then start
at 13:30 on every Tuesday
and run for 30 minutes.
4.11.1 STOP MODE
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in Stop
mode.
4.11.2 MANUAL MODE
Scheduled runs do 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 has no effect, the set continues to run Off Load
4.11.3 AUTO MODE
Scheduled runs operate ONLY if the module is in Auto

present.
If the module is in Stop
or Manual
mode with no Electrical Trip alarm
mode when a scheduled run begins, S2 is not
started (if configured as generator). However, if the module is moved into Auto
mode
during a scheduled run, S2 is called to start.
Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to
inhibit a scheduled run.
If S2 is Off Load in Auto
mode and a scheduled run configured to Transfer to S2 begins,
S2 is placed On Load for the duration of the Schedule.

4.12 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on S2 is kept to a nominal
amount. Conversely as the load increases towards the maximum rating of the set, non-essential loads
can be shed to prevent overload of S2.
4.12.1 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

NOTE: Refer to DSE335 Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-237) for further details
on configuring, monitoring and control.
The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps.
When S2 is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at Startup
energises. This configurable setting allows (for instance) certain loads to be removed from S2 prior to
the sets load switch being closed. This can be used to ensure the initial loading of the set is kept to a
minimum, below the Load Acceptance specification of S2.
S2 is then placed on load. The Load Shedding Control scheme begins.
When the load reaches the Load Shedding Trip level the Trip Delay timer starts. If S2 loading is still
high when the timer expires, the first Load shedding Control output energises. When the load has
been above the trip level for the duration of the timer the next Load shedding Control output
energises and so on until all Load Shedding Control outputs are energised.
If at any time the load falls back below the Load Shedding Return level, the Return Time starts. If the
load remains below the return level when the timer has expired the highest Load Shedding Control
output that has been energised is de-energised. This process continues until all outputs have been
de-energised.
When the set enters a stopping sequence for any reason the Load Shedding control outputs are deenergised at the same time as the S2 load switch is signalled to open.

Possible Remedy
Check that the CT primary, CT secondary and VT ratio settings are
correct for the application.
Check that the CTs are wired correctly with regards to the direction of
current flow (p1,p2 and s1,s2) and additionally ensure that CTs are
connected to the correct phase (errors occur if CT1 is connected to
phase 2).
Remember to consider the power factor. Ie (kW = kV A x powerfactor)
The controller is true RMS measuring so gives more accurate display
when compared with an averaging meter such as an analogue panel
meter or some lower specified digital multimeters.
Accuracy of the controller is better than 1% of full scale. Ie S1 volts
full scale is 333 V ph-n so accuracy is 3.33 V (1% of 333 V).
