1 BIBLIOGRAPHY
This document refers to and is referred to by the following DSE publications which can be obtained from the
DSE website www.deepseaplc.com :
2 DESCRIPTION
The DSE300 Series configuration suite allows the 300 family of ATS control modules (DSE332 / DSE333)
to be connected to a PC via USB A USB B cable. Once connected the various operating parameters within
the module can be viewed or edited as required by the engineer.
The configuration suite should only be used by competent, qualified personnel, as changes to the operation of
the module may have safety implications on the panel / generating set to which it is fitted. Access to critical
operational sequences and settings for use by qualified engineers, may be barred by a security code set by
the generator provider.
The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the
appropriate module documentation. This manual only details which settings are available and how they may
be used.
A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography
elsewhere in this document).
Operating System Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 with Microsoft .Net 2.0 framework
Monitor 17 inch recommended (1024 x 768 resolution)

3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Ensure the Configuration Suite Software is installed on the PC as described above.
The installation of the PC software also installs the DSE Controller USB Driver automatically.
Connect the USB cable (USB type A to Type B as commonly used on USB printers) to the module and to
the PC as shown below.
You are now ready to configure or monitor the module using the Configuration Suite Software.
Occasionally USB devices are disabled by the Windows operating system, the following procedure will re-enable the
device in these instances.
Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller from the USB port. Wait a moment, then reconnect and try
again. If you still encounter problems then :
Try another USB cable. If you dont have one, its the same type of cable as usually used between a PC
and a USB printer. If you still encounter problems then :
Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller. Shutdown, then restart the PC. Reconnect the interface,
then try again. If you continue to experience problems then :
Check the USB port with another device (for instance a mouse, printer or digital camera).
Then select All Programs - Deep Sea Electronics PLC DSE Configuration Suite DSE Configuration

Function Description
Not used The input is disabled
Alarm Mute This input is used to silence the audible alarm from an external source,
such as a remote mute switch.
Alarm Reset This input is used to reset any latched alarms from a remote location. It
is also used to clear any latched warnings which may have occurred (if
configured) without having to stop the generator.
Auto Restore Inhibit In the event of a remote start/mains failure, the generator will be
IEEE 37.2 - 3 checking or instructed to start and take load. On removal of the remote start
interlocking relay signal/mains return the module will continue to run the generator on
load until the Auto Restore Inhibit input is removed. This input allows
the controller to be fitted as part of a system where the restoration to
mains is controlled remotely or by an automated system.
Auto start Inhibit This input is used to provide an over-ride function to prevent the
IEEE 37.2 - 3 checking or controller from starting the generator in the event of a remote
interlocking relay start/mains out of limits condition occurring. If this input is active and a
remote start signal/mains failure occurs the module will not give a start
command to the generator. If this input signal is then removed, the
controller will operate as if a remote start/mains failure has occurred,
starting and loading the generator. This function can be used to give an
AND function so that a generator will only be called to start if the
mains fails and another condition exists which requires the generator to
run. If the Auto start Inhibit signal becomes active once more it will be
ignored until the module has returned the mains supply on load and
shutdown.
This input does not prevent starting of the engine in MANUAL or TEST
modes.
Auxiliary Generator Ready Allows an external device (such as the engine control module) to
instruct the ATS controller that the system is healthy and available to
take load. The ATS controller then monitors the voltage and frequency
to check they are within acceptable limits before performing the load
transfer function.
Generator Load Inhibit This input is used to prevent the controller from loading the generator. If
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC circuit breaker the generator is already on load, activating this input will cause the 300
series controller to unload the generator. Removing the input will allow
the generator to be loaded again.

input configured to Manual Restore is active.
This can be used to signal to an operator that action is required before the set can
transfer back to the mains supply.
Warming up Active when the set is running off load, during the warming timer, before taking load.
6.6 TIMERS
Many timers are associated with alarms. Where this occurs, the timer for the alarm is located on the same
page as the alarm setting. Timers not associated with an alarm are located on the timers page.
The timers page is subdivided into smaller sections. Select the required section with the mouse.
Timer Description
Mains Transient Delay Used to give a delay between the mains supply being measured out of limits, and acceptance
that the mains has failed. This can be used to prevent the generator starting caused by short
term events on the mains supply.
Start delay Used to give a delay before starting in AUTO mode. This timer is activated upon a remote start
signal being applied, or upon a start due to mains failure, scheduled run or any other automatic
start.
Typically this timer is applied to prevent starting upon fleeting remote start signals or short term
mains failures.
Warming up time The amount of time that the set will run BEFORE being allowed to take load. This is used to
warm the engine to prevent excessive wear.
Generator Fail Delay The 332 instructs the set to start and waits for the period of this timer for the set to become
available. If it is not available when the timer expires, the generator failure alarm is triggerred.
Elevator Delay Use to delay the elevator control output before and after load transfer takes place. See section
entitled Application for details of elevator control.
6.6.2 LOAD / STOPPING TIMERS Click and drag to change the setting.
Timers increment in steps of 1second up
to one minute, then in steps of
30seconds up to 30minutes, then in steps
of 30minutes thereafter (where allowed
by the limits of the timer).
Timer Description
Transfer Time The time between the generator load switch being opened and the mains load switch being
closed (or vice versa). Used to give time for the load switches to move to their correct
positions and to prevent the mechanical interlock from jamming.
This timer can also be used to give a dead time to ensure that any machinery stops fully after
removal of the supply, before applying the new supply to the equipment (for instance directly
driven AC motors).
Breaker close pulse The amount of time that Breaker Close Pulse signals will be present when the request to
close a breaker is given.
Breaker Trip pulse The amount of time that Breaker Open Pulse signals will be present when the request to open
a breaker is given.
Return delay A delay, used in auto mode only, that allows for short term removal of the request to stop the
set before action is taken. This is usually used to ensure the set remains on load before
accepting that the start request has been removed.
Cooling time The amount of time that the set will be made to run OFF LOAD before being stopped. This is
to allow the set to cool down and is particularly important for engines with turbo chargers.
Fail to stop delay If the set is called to stop and is still running after the fail to stop delay, a Fail to Stop alarm is
generated.
Generator transient Used to delay the generator under/over volts/frequency alarms. Typically this is used to
delay prevent spurious shutdown alarms caused by large changes in load levels.
Timer Description
