DSE2160 Input / Output Expansion Module
This document details the installation requirements of the DSE2160 Input and Output Expansion Module and is part of the DSEGenset® range of products.
The DSE2160 Input and Output Expansion module is designed to enhance the input capabilities of supported DSE modules. The module offers 8 Digital Input/Outputs, 6 Digital Inputs and 2 Analogue inputs. The configuration of the expansion module is done within the host module’s configuration. The only configuration applied to DSE2160 is the selection of the ID switch to match the host module’s configuration.
CONTROLS AND INDICATION
STATUS LED
The Status LED indicates the operating state of the module.
| Status LED | Condition |
| Off | Module is not powered. |
| Red Flashing | Module is powered but there is no communication. |
| Red Constant | Module is powered and communication is working. |
ID SWITCH
The DSENet ID Rotary Selector selects the communication ID that the module uses for DSENet or the source address that the module uses for CAN, as it is capable of being connected to multiple DSE2160 modules/devices at the same time.
The DSENet® ID rotary switch must be operated using an isolated adjustment tool.
NOTE: The DSENet® ID be set to be a unique number compared to any other DSE2160. The DSENet® ID of the DSE2160 does not interfere with the DSENet® ID of any other type of expansion module. For instance it’s OK to have a DSE2160 with a DSENet® ID of 1 and a DSE2170 with a DSENet® ID of 1.

ANALOGUE INPUTS
NOTE: It is VERY important that terminals 24 and 26 (sensor common) are connected to an earth point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point to terminal 24 and 26 directly, and not use this earth for other connections.
NOTE: If PTFE insulating tape is used on the sensor thread when using earth return sensors, ensure not to insulate the entire thread, as this prevents the sensor body from being earthed via the engine block.
