DSEG8600 Parallel Genset Controller with Integral Heater
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSEG8600 module and is part of the DSEGenset® range of products.
The DSEG8600 module contains two software applications, Multi Set (MS) and Single Set (SS).
This allows to convert the DSEG8600 module into an Multi Set (MS) for multiple generator synchronizing application, by selection in the Application menu.

 |
Mode Button In the G8600 the mode button is used to select Auto Mode, Test Mode or Manual 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 / electrical trip reset 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 engine is running and the module is put into Stop/Reset Mode, the module automatically instructs the generator off load. The fuel supply de-energizes and the engine comes to a standstill. Should any form of start signal be present when in Stop/Reset Mode the generator remains at rest. |
 |
Start
This button is only active in the Stop/Reset Mode, Manual Mode |
 |
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 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 057-322 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 backwards (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.
TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAMS
