Introduction

1 INTRODUCTION
This document details the use of the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software with the DSE331 module,
which is part of the DSEATS® 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. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of
this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaelectronics.com

The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software allows the DSE331 module to be connected to a PC via
USB A to USB B cable (USB printer cable). Once connected, the software allows easy, controlled
access to various operating parameters within the module which can then be viewed and edited as
required.

The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software must 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 must 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. Separate manuals deal with the operation of the individual module and its
ancillaries, refer to section entitled Bibliography elsewhere in this document for further information.

2.3.2 BREAKER SCHEME A

Breaker scheme A is suitable for contactors or ACBs.

NOTE: S1 Closed Auxiliary and S2 Closed Auxiliary inputs do not affect the operation of
the load switching in Breaker Scheme A

2.3.2.1 S1 / S2 LOAD INHIBIT

Activation of an input configured to S1 Load Inhibit or S2 Load Inhibit inputs cause the corresponding
breaker to be opened immediately. No other change in function occurs.
When the input is deactivated the breaker is closed again if appropriate.

2.3.2.2 S1 AND S2 LOAD INHIBIT

If an input configured to S1 and S2 Load Inhibit is activated, outputs set to Open S1 and Open S2
energise, and inputs configured to Close S1 and Close S2 de-energise. Open S1 Pulse and Open S2
Pulse outputs only energise if the corresponding supply was on load before application of the S1 and
S2 Load Inhibit input.
When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is deactivated the load is returned to the supply that was
disconnected, providing that supply is healthy.

2.3.3 BREAKER SCHEME B

Breaker Scheme B is intended only for use with certain designs of transfer switch. For example, rotary
transfer switches with very short changeover time.
This scheme is only suitable for breakers which require pulse signals for opening and closing.

2.3.3.1 CHECK SYNC IS DISABLED

TRANSFERRING TO S1

To open the S1 breaker the Open S1 output energises, it then de-energises when the S1 Closed
Auxiliary indicates it has successfully opened, or after 1s whichever occurs first.
When the ‘S1 Closed Auxiliary’ indicates the S1 breaker has opened, the transfer timer begins.
When the transfer timer expires, the module attempts to close the S2 breaker by energising the Open
S1 and Close S2 outputs simultaneously, it then de-energises these outputs when the S1 Closed
Auxiliary input indicates it has successfully closed, or after 1s whichever occurs first.

TRANSFERRING TO S2

To open the S2 breaker the Open S2 output energises, it then de-energises when the S2 Closed
Auxiliary indicates it has successfully opened, or after 1s whichever occurs first.
When the ‘S2 Closed Auxiliary’ indicates the S2 breaker has opened, the transfer timer begins.
When the transfer timer expires, the module attempts to close the S1 breaker by energising the Open
S2 and Close S1 outputs simultaneously, it then de-energises these outputs when the S1 Closed
Auxiliary input indicates it has successfully closed, or after 1s whichever occurs first

S1 AND S2 LOAD INHIBIT INPUT

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is activated while S2 is closed the Open S2 output energises,
it then de-energises when the S2 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully opened, or
after 1s whichever occurs first.

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is activated while S1 is closed the Open S1 output energises,
it then de-energises when the S1 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully opened, or
after 1s whichever occurs first.

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is deactivated the load is returned to the supply that was
disconnected, providing that supply is healthy.

2.3.3.2 CHECK SYNC IS ENABLED

NOTE : The module waits indefinitely for synchronisation unless the ‘Return to
programmed transition’ function is active in which case after 2 minutes it performs a non-sync
transfer as described in the previous section.

NOTE: The transfer time is ignored during a check-sync but is used if the transfer fails
and it performs a non-sync transfer.

TRANSFER TO S2

When the module is about to transfer from S1 to S2 it activates the check sync function.
When the S1 and S2 supplies are within the phase and frequency window the module energises the
Open S1 and Close S2 outputs simultaneously. These outputs are de-energised when the S2 Closed
Auxiliary input indicates it has successfully closed, or after 1s whichever occurs first.

TRANSFER TO S1

When the module is about to transfer from S2 to S1 it activates the check sync function.
When the S1 and S2 supplies are within the phase and frequency window the module energises the
Open S2 and Close S1 outputs simultaneously. These outputs are de-energised when the S1 Closed
Auxiliary input indicates it has successfully closed, or after 1s whichever occurs first.

S1 AND S2 LOAD INHIBIT

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is activated while the S2 is closed the Open S2 output
energises, it then de-energises when the S2 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully
opened, or after 1s whichever occurs first.

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is activated while the S1 is closed the Open S1 output
energises, it then de-energises when the S1 Closed Auxiliary input indicates that it has successfully
opened, or after 1s whichever occurs first.

When the S1 and S2 Load Inhibit input is deactivated the load is returned to the supply that was
disconnected, providing that supply is healthy.

2.4.1 INPUT FUNCTIONS

Under the scope of IEEE 37.2, function numbers are also used to represent functions in
microprocessor devices and software programs. Where the DSE input functions are represented by
IEEE 37.2, the function number is listed below.

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/unload S2.
Auto Restore Inhibit In the event of a remote start/S1 failure, S2 is instructed to start and take
IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking Or load. On removal of the remote start signal/S1 return the module continues
Interlocking Relay to run S2 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 S1 is controlled remotely or by an automated system.
Parameter descriptions are continued overleaf…

057-149 ISSUE: 2 Page 14 of 38


Editing the Configuration

Function Description
Auto Start Inhibit This input is used to provide an over-ride function to prevent the controller
IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking Or from starting S2 in the event of a remote start/S1 out of limits condition
Interlocking Relay occurring. If this input is active and a remote start signal/S1 failure occurs
the module does not give a start command to the S2. If this input signal is
then removed, the controller operates as if a remote start/S1 failure has
occurred, starting and loading S2. This function is used to give an ‘AND’
function so that S2 is only called to start if S1 fails and another condition
exists which requires S2 to run. If the ‘Auto start Inhibit’ signal becomes
active once more it is ignored until the module has returned the S1 supply
on load and shutdown.
This input does not prevent starting of the engine in MANUAL or TEST
modes.
Auxiliary S1 Fail The module monitors the incoming single or three phase supply for Over
voltage, Under Voltage, Over Frequency or Under frequency. It may be
required to monitor a different S1 supply or some aspect of the incoming
S1 not monitored by the controller. If the devices providing this additional
monitoring are connected to operate this input, the controller operates as if
the incoming S1 supply has fallen outside of limits, S2 is instructed to start
and take the load. Removal of the input signal causes the module to act if
S1 has returned to within limits providing that the S1 sensing also indicates
that the S1 is within limits.
Auxiliary S2 Ready Allows an external device (such as the engine control module) to instruct
the controller that S1 is healthy and available to take load. The controller
then monitors the voltage and frequency to check they are within
acceptable limits before performing the load transfer function.

External Panel Lock This input is used to provide security to the installation. If the External
Panel lock input is active, the module does not respond to operation of the
Mode select or start buttons. This allows the module to be placed into a
specific mode (such as Auto) and then secured. The operation of the
module is not affected and the operator is still able to view the various
instrumentation pages etc. (Front panel configuration access is still
possible while the system lock is active).
Inhibit Scheduled Run This input is used to provide a means of disabling a scheduled run.
IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking Or
Interlocking Relay
Lamp Test This input is used to provide a test facility for the front panel indicators
fitted to the module. When the input is activated all LED’s illuminate.
Open / Close S1 Allows connection of an external signal to control open and closing of the
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC Circuit S1 load switch device.
Breaker
Open / Close S2 Allows connection of an external signal to control open and closing of the
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC S2 load switch device.
Circuit Breaker
Remote Start Off Load If this input is active, operation is similar to the ‘Remote Start on load’
function except that S2 is not instructed to take the load. This function is
used where an engine only run is required e.g. for exercise.
Remote Start On Load When in auto mode, the module performs the start sequence and transfers
load to S2.
In Manual mode, the load is transferred to S2 if the supply is already
healthy, however in manual mode, this input does not generate start/stop
requests of S2.

Function Description
S1 Closed Auxiliary This input is used to provide feedback to allow the controller to give true
IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking Or indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. It must be
Interlocking Relay
connected to the S1 load switching device auxiliary contact.
(Breaker Scheme B)

In ‘Breaker Scheme A’, Incorrect application of this signal does not trigger
an alarm condition, it is used solely for indication of the breaker status.

In ‘Breaker Scheme B’ this feedback is used for internal interlocking of the


breaker outputs.

In ‘Breaker Scheme C’ this feedback is used for ensuring a closed


transition has occurred within the Breaker Close Transition timer.
S1 Load Inhibit
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC Circuit NOTE: This input only operates to control the S1 switching
Breaker
device if the module’s load switching logic is attempting to load S1. It
does not control the S1 switching device when the S2 supply is on
load.
This input is used to prevent the controller from loading S1. If S1 is already
on load, activating this input causes the controller to unload S1. Removing
the input allows S1 to be loaded again.
S2 Closed Auxiliary This input is used to provide feedback to allow the controller to give true
IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking Or indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. It must be
Interlocking Relay
connected to the S2 load switching device auxiliary contact.
(Breaker Scheme B)

In ‘Breaker Scheme A’, Incorrect application of this signal does not trigger

In ‘Breaker Scheme B’ this feedback is used for internal interlocking of the


breaker outputs.

In ‘Breaker Scheme C’ this feedback is used for ensuring a closed


transition has occurred within the Breaker Close Transition timer.
S2 Load Inhibit
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC Circuit NOTE: This input only operates to control the S2 switching
Breaker device if the module’s load switching logic is attempting to load S2. It
does not control the S2 switching device when the S1 supply is on
load.
This input is used to prevent the controller from loading S2. If S2 is already
on load, activating this input causes the controller to unload S2. Removing
the input allows S2 to be loaded again.
Simulate S1 Available This function is provided to override the module’s internal monitoring
function. If this input is active, the module does not respond to the state of
the incoming AC S1 supply and behaves as if the supply is healthy.
Simulate S2 Available This function is provided to override the module’s internal monitoring
function. If this input is active, the module does not respond to the state of
the incoming AC S2 supply and behaves as if the supply is healthy.

2.6 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.

2.6.1 START 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
S1 Transient Delay Used to delay the detection of S1 failure. This is normally used to prevent
short term transients or brownout conditions from being classified as a S1
Failure and opening the breaker.
Start Delay Used to give a delay before starting in AUTO mode. This timer is activated
upon the respective start command being issued.
Typically this timer is applied to prevent starting upon fleeting remote start
signals or short term S2 failures.
Warming The amount of time that the set runs BEFORE being allowed to take load.
This is used to warm the engine to prevent excessive wear.
S2 Fail Delay The module instructs that S2 is to start and waits for the period of this timer
for S2 to become available. If it is not available when the timer expires, the
S2 failure alarm is triggered.
Elevator Delay Used to delay the Elevator control output before and after the load transfer
takes place. For further details see section entitled Elevator Control
elsewhere in this manual.

2.6.2 LOAD/STOPPING TIMERS

2.6.2.1 LOAD 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
Non-sync Transfer The time between one supply’s load switch being opened and the other
Time supply’s load switch being closed. Used to give time for the load switches to
move to their correct positions and to prevent the mechanical interlock from
“jamming”.
This timer is also 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).
Check-Sync Transfer The time allowed for the Sync Transfer to be completed. If the two supplies
Time do not come in sync during this time, the module reverts to perform a Non-
Sync Transfer.
Breaker close pulse The amount of time that Breaker Close Pulse signals are present when the
request to close a breaker is given.
Breaker Trip pulse The amount of time that Breaker Open Pulse signals are present when the
request to open a breaker is given.

2.6.2.2 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
Return Delay A delay, used in auto mode only, that allows for short term removal of the
request to unload the supply before action is taken. This is usually used to
ensure the supply remains on load before accepting that the start request has
been removed.
Cooling The amount of time that the set runs OFF LOAD before being stopped. This
is to allow the set to cool down and is particularly important for engines with
turbo chargers.
Transient Delay Used to delay the detection of S1 failure. This is normally used to prevent
short term transients or brownout conditions from being classified as a S1
Failure and opening the breaker.
