DSEG8660 Intelligent Controller Instruction Manual

The DSEG8660 module is a versatile device that contains two software applications: Mains Controller and Group Controller. It is designed to monitor the mains (utility) supply and control one or more generator sets equipped with DSEG8600 (Multi Set) controllers based on the status of the mains supply. The module can be configured as a Group Controller, allowing the expansion of a system beyond the 64-module limit imposed by the capacity of a CAN bus.

Control Buttons

Icon	Description
Mode Button	In the G8660, the mode button is used to select Auto Mode, Test Mode, or Manual Mode. Pressing the button cycles through Auto mode > (Test mode) > Manual mode > Auto mode.
Alarm Mute / Lamp Test	This button silences the audible alarm in the controller, deactivates the Audible Alarm output (if configured), and illuminates all the LEDs on the module’s facia as a lamp test function.
RHS Breaker Button	Used for navigating the instrumentation, event log, and configuration screens.

Accessing the Main Configuration Editor
To access the main configuration editor, press the (Stop/Reset) button. Once selected, the page remains on the LCD display until a different page is selected or after an extended period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer), the module reverts to the home display.

Editing a Parameter

To edit a parameter:

Use the buttons to cycle to the section to view/change.

Use the buttons to select the parameter to view/change within the currently selected section.
Press the button to enter edit mode. The parameter will be highlighted to indicate selection.

Use the buttons or Next Page/Previous Page buttons to change the parameter to the desired value.
Press the button to save the value. The parameter will stop flashing to indicate that it has been saved.

Note:
If the editor is left inactive for the duration of the LCD Page Timer, it will be automatically exited for security reasons. The PIN number will be reset when the editor is exited manually or automatically.

Comprehensive module configuration can be done using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. Refer to DSE publication 057-322 DSE8600 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual available from www.deepseaelectronics.com.

Note:
Depending upon module configuration, some parameters in the Main and Running Editors may not be available. For more information, refer to DSE publication 057-324 DSE8600 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual available from www.deepseaelectronics.com.

This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSEG8660 module and is part of the DSEGenset® range of products. The DSEG8660 module contains two software applications, Mains Controller and Group Controller. The DSEG8660 module has been designed to monitor the mains (utility) supply and automatically start/stop one or more generator sets equipped with DSEG8600 (Multi Set) controllers depending upon the status of the mains (utility) supply.

Configured as a Group Controller which allows the expansion of a system beyond the 64-module limit that is imposed by the capacity of a CAN bus.

CONTROL BUTTONS

Icon	Description
	Mode Button In the G8660 the mode button is used to select Auto Mode, Test Mode, or Manual Mode. Pressing the button cycles through Auto mode > (Test mode) > Manual mode > Auto mode >.
	Alarm Mute / Lamp Test This button silences the audible alarm in the controller, de-activates the Audible Alarm output (if configured) and illuminates all the LEDs on the module’s facia as a lamp test function.
	RHS Breaker Button Transfer to generator/bus LHS Breaker Button Transfer to Mains
	Stop / Reset Mode This button places the module into its Stop/Reset Mode. This clears any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria has been removed. If the generators are running and the module is put into Stop/Reset Mode, the module automatically instructs the generators to ramp off load and stop. Should any form of start signal be present when in Stop/Reset Mode The generators remain at rest.
	Start This button is only active in the Stop/Reset Mode and Manual Mode Pressing the Start button in Stop/Reset Mode starts the generators and runs them off load. Pressing the Start button in Manual Mode starts the generators and runs them off load in.
	Menu Navigation Used for navigating the instrumentation, event log and configuration screens.

ACCESSING THE MAIN CONFIGURATION EDITOR

Ensure the generator bus is dead and the module is in STOP mode by pressing the (Stop/Reset) button.

Navigate to Editor page:

Once selected, the page remains on the LCD display until the user selects a different page, or after an extended period of inactivity (LCD Page Timer), the module reverts to the home display.

Press the Tick button, the first ‘#’ changes to ‘0’. Press the Scroll buttons to adjust it to the correct value.

Press the Next Page button when the first digit is correctly entered. The digit previously entered now shows as ‘#’ for security.
Repeat this process for the other digits of the PIN number. Press the Previous Page button to move back to adjust one of the previous digits.

When the Tick button is pressed after editing the final PIN digit, the PIN is checked for validity. If the number is not correct, the PIN must be re-entered.
If the PIN has been successfully entered (or the module PIN has not been enabled), the editor is displayed:

EDITING A PARAMETER

Enter the editor as described above.
Press the Next Page or Previous Page buttons to cycle to the section to view/change.

Press the Scroll buttons to select the parameter to view/change within the currently selected section.
To edit the parameter, press the Tick button to enter edit mode. The parameter is highlighted to indicate editing.

Press the Scroll buttons or Next Page or Previous Page buttons to change the parameter to the required value.
Press the Tick button to save the value. The parameter ceases flashing to indicate that it has been saved.

NOTE:
If the editor is left inactive for the duration of the LCD Page Timer, it is automatically exited to ensure security. The PIN number is automatically reset when the editor is exited (manually or automatically) to ensure security. Comprehensive module configuration is possible using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software, refer to DSEpublication 057-322 DSE8600 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual available from www.deepseaelectronics.com.

NOTE:
Depending upon module configuration, some parameters in the Main and Running Editors may not be available. For more information refer to DSE publication 057-324 DSE8600 Configuration Suite PC Software Manual available from www.deepseaelectronics.com.

FIXING CLIPS

NOTE:
In conditions of excessive vibration, mount the control panel on suitable anti-vibration mountings.

The module is held into the control panel fascia using the supplied fixing clips.

Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until only the pointed end is protruding from the clip.
Insert the three ‘prongs’ of the fixing clip into the slots in the side of the DSE module’s case.
Pull the fixing clip backward (towards the back of the module) ensuring all three prongs of the clip are inside their allotted slots.
Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they make contact with the panel fascia.
Turn the screws a quarter of a turn to secure the module into the control panel’s fascia. Care must be taken not to over-tighten the fixing clip screws.
