The DSE 720 module monitors the mains (utility) supply indicating the status of the mains via an
LED. Additionally the module monitors the engine, indicating that the generator is running via an
LED. An LCD display is used to indicate further status and alarm conditions. When a fault is
detected the generator is automatically shut down, giving a true first up fault condition.
Using the module’s front panel configuration editor it is possible to alter selective operational
sequences, timers and alarm trips. Comprehensive configuration and monitoring is also available
using the 700 series PC configuration software for Windows™.
The module is housed in a fully enclosed robust plastic case for front panel mounting, offering a
high IP rating of 56 with the optional gasket. Connections to the module are via locking plug and
sockets.

This mode is activated by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button
confirms this action.
If the pre-heat output option is selected this timer is then initiated, and the auxiliary output selected
is energised.
After the above delay the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then the Starter Motor is engaged.
The engine is cranked for a configurable period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking
attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the configurable rest period. Should this sequence
continue beyond the 3 cranking attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start
fault will be displayed.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20Hz measured from the
Alternator output.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On delay is activated.
‘Delayed’ alarms (underspeed, low oil pressure etc) will be monitored after the end of the Safety
On delay.
The generator will run off load, unless the mains (utility) supply fails or a Remote Start on load
signal is applied, at which point the load will be transferred to the generator so long as the
Warmup Timer (if configured) has expired.
The generator will continue to run on load regardless of the state of the mains (utility) supply or
remote start input until the Auto mode is selected.
If Auto mode is selected, and the mains supply is healthy with the remote start on load signal not
active, then the Remote Stop Delay Timer begins, after which, the load is transferred to the mains
(utility). The generator will then run off load allowing the engine a cooling down period.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
This mode is activated by pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button
confirms this action.
If the pre-heat output option is selected then the pre-heat timer is initiated, and the corresponding
auxiliary output (if configured) will energise.
After the above delay the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then ½ second later, the Starter Motor is
engaged.
The engine is cranked for a configurable period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking
attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the configurable rest period. Should this sequence
continue beyond the 3 cranking attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start
fault will be displayed.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20Hz measured from the
Alternator output.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On delay is activated.
‘Delayed’ alarms (underspeed, low oil pressure etc) will be monitored after the end of the Safety
On delay.
NOTE:- The set will not be allowed to load until all delayed alarms indicate “normal”
operation. This prevents excessive wear on the damage that could be caused by loading
an engine with low oil pressure.
The load will be transferred to the generator and the set will run on load until Auto mode is selected
or STOP is pressed.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
Should the mains (utility) supply fall outside the configurable limits for longer than the period of the
delay start timer, the mains (utility) is healthy indicator will extinguish. Additionally, while in AUTO
mode, the remote start input is monitored.
Whether the start sequence is initiated by mains (utility) failure, or by remote start input, the
following sequence is followed :
To allow for short term mains supply transient conditions or false remote start signals, the Start
Delay timer is initiated. After this delay, if the pre-heat output option is selected then the pre-heat
timer is initiated, and the corresponding auxiliary output (if configured) will energise.
NOTE:- If the mains supply returns within limits, (or the Remote Start signal is
removed if the start sequence was initiated by remote start) during the Start Delay timer,
the unit will return to a stand-by state.
After the above delays the Fuel Solenoid is energised, then ½ second later, the Starter Motor is
engaged.
The engine is cranked for a configurable period. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking
attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the configurable rest period. Should this sequence
continue beyond the 3 cranking attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and Fail to Start
fault will be displayed.
When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged and locked out at 20Hz measured from the
Alternator output.
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On delay is activated.
‘Delayed’ alarms (underspeed, low oil pressure etc) will be monitored after the end of the Safety
On delay.
NOTE:- The set will not be allowed to load until all delayed alarms indicate “normal”
operation. This prevents excessive wear on the damage that could be caused by loading
an engine with low oil pressure.
If the remote start is being used and has been configured to Remote start is on load, or the mains
(utility) has failed, the load will be transferred to the generator.
On the return of the mains supply, (or removal of the Remote Start signal if the set was started by
remote signal), the Stop delay timer is initiated, once it has timed out, the load is transferred back
to the mains (utility). The Cooling timer is then initiated, allowing the engine a cooling down period
off load before shutting down. Once the Cooling timer expires the Fuel Solenoid is de-energised,
bringing the generator to a stop.
Should the mains supply fall outside limits again (or the Remote Start signal be re-activated)
during the cooling down period, the load will be immediately transferred to the generator.
Selecting STOP (O) de-energises the FUEL SOLENOID, bringing the generator to a stop.
3.5 WARNINGS
Warnings are used to warn the operator of an impending fault but the engine continues to run.
BATTERY CHARGE FAILURE, if the module does not detect a voltage from the warning light
terminal on the auxiliary charge alternator, the icon will illuminate. (Either 8 Volts or 16 Volts
depending on the configuration of Nominal DC Voltage).
LOW PLANT BATTERY ALARM The module’s DC supply is monitored and if it falls below the
configurable level an alarm is generated and the icon will illuminate.
INPUTS 1 AND 2 can be configured as warnings or shutdowns. The relevant icon will be
illuminated when the input is active.
The item is indication only (not an alarm). For instance this could indicate “System in Auto”
The item has generated a Warning alarm condition.
NOTE:- The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset will take place. If the
alarm condition remains it will not be possible to reset the unit (The exception to this is the
Low Oil Pressure alarm and similar ‘delayed alarms’, as the oil pressure will be low with
the engine at rest). Any subsequent warnings or shutdowns that occur will be displayed
steady, therefore only the first-up shutdown will appear flashing.
FAIL TO START, if the engine does not fire after the pre-set 3 attempts at starting, a shutdown will
be initiated.
The icon will illuminate.
LOW OIL PRESSURE, if the module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low
oil pressure setting after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown will occur.
The icon will illuminate.
HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE if the module detects that the engine coolant temperature has
exceeded the high engine temperature setting after the Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown
will occur.
The icon will illuminate.
OVERSPEED / OVERFREQUENCY, if the engine speed exceeds the pre-set trip a shutdown is
initiated. Overspeed is not delayed, it is an immediate shutdown.
The icon will illuminate.
NOTE:- During the start-up sequence the overspeed trip level is extended to 24%
above the normal frequency for the duration of the safety timer to allow an extra trip level
margin. This is used to prevent nuisance tripping on start-up.
UNDERSPEED / UNDERFREQUENCY, if the engine speed falls below the pre-set trip after the
Safety On timer has expired, a shutdown is initiated.
The icon will illuminate.
INPUTS 1 AND 2 can be configured as warnings or shutdowns. The relevant icon will be
illuminated when the input is active.
The item is indication only (not an alarm). For instance this could indicate “System in Auto”
(Flashing) The item has generated a Shutdown alarm condition.
FAILED TO REACH LOADING VOLTAGE, If the engine fires but the generator fails to reach the
loading voltage before the end of the Safety On timer a shutdown is initiated.
The icon will illuminate.
FAILED TO REACH LOADING FREQUENCY, If the engine fires but the generator fails to reach
the loading frequency before the end of the Safety On timer a shutdown is initiated.
The icon will illuminate.
NOTE:- Configuration mode can ONLY be entered when the module is in the STOP
mode and the engine is at rest.

HINT!:- The cables can be placed in three different positions, above the clamps,
between the clamps and below the clamps.
5.3 COOLING
The module has been designed to operate over a wide temperature range -30ºC to +70ºC.
Allowances should be made for the temperature rise within the control panel enclosure. Care
should be taken NOT to mount possible heat sources near the module unless adequate ventilation
is provided. The relative humidity inside the control panel enclosure should not exceed 93%.

NOTE:- Emergency stop input is normally closed to positive, open to STOP the set. If
Emergency Stop is not required you must connect a permanent positive signal onto
terminal 3.
NOTE:- Fuel, Start, configurable output 1, configurable output 2, mains loading switch
and generator loading switch outputs are Solid State Outputs that switch to battery
positive when active. See section entitled “Solid State Outputs” elsewhere in this manual
for further details.
NOTE:- The Close Mains Slave relay should be NORMALLY CLOSED when de-
energised for fail safe reasons. Should the DC supply fail the mains will always be
available. The output from the DSE solid state output will energise to OPEN the relay and
isolate the mains supply from the load.
NOTE:- Terminal 13, sender common must be connected to a sound earth point on the
engine block, or battery negative. The connection to terminal 13 must not be used for any
other purpose.
NOTE:- When using Switches instead of senders (oil pressure / coolant temp) connect
the switch from T13 to the relevant input (T11 = oil press, T12 = coolant temp) AND
connect T13 to battery negative.
NOTE:- Remote Start / Simulated Mains function is configurable using either the front
panel configuration editor or the 72x PC configuration software.
6.1.3 CONNECTOR C
The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating
compatible with the system.
The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
To check the start cycle operation take appropriate measures to prevent the engine from starting
(disable the operation of the fuel solenoid). After a visual inspection to ensure it is safe to proceed,
connect the battery supply. Select “MANUAL” and press the START button. The unit start
sequence will commence.
The starter will engage and operate for the pre-set crank period. After the starter motor has
attempted to start the engine for the pre-set number of attempts the LCD will display ‘Failed to
start’.
Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid), again select “MANUAL” and
press the START button. This time the engine should start and the starter motor should disengage
automatically. If not then check the engine is fully operational (fuel available, etc.) and that the fuel
solenoid is operating. The engine should now run up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is
present, check the alarm condition for validity, then check input wiring. The engine should continue
to run for an indefinite period.
Select “AUTO” on the front panel, the engine will run for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop.
The generator should stay in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal present on
the Remote start input and that the mains (utility) supply is healthy and available.
Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal or failing the mains (utility) supply.
The start sequence will commence and the engine will run up to operational speed. Once the
generator is available a load transfer will take place, the Generator will accept the load. If not,
check the wiring to the Generator switching device.
Remove the remote start signal and/or ensure the mains (utility) supply is healthy, the return
sequence will start. After the pre-set time period, the load will be removed from the generator. The
generator will then run for the pre-set cooling down period, then shutdown into it’s standby mode.
If despite repeated checking of the connections between the 720 and the customer’s system,
satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the factory for
further advice on:-
NOTE:- The above fault finding is provided as a guide check-list only. As it is possible
for the module to be configured to provide a wide range of different features always refer
to the source of your module configuration if in doubt.
NOTE:- All the outputs are solid state and switch to battery positive when active.
B C
Example of relay pins connected to DSE solid state output to drive a fuel solenoid.
NOTE:- The Close Mains Relay should be NORMALLY CLOSED when de-energised for
fail safe operation. Should the DC supply fail the mains will always be available. The output
from the DSE solid state output when energised will OPEN the relay therefore isolating the
mains supply.
