2 DESCRIPTION
The DSE6000 Series configuration suite allows the 6000 family of modules to be connected to a PC via
USB ‘A –USB B’ cable. Once connected the various operating parameters within the module can be viewed or
edited as required by the engineer. This software allows easy controlled access to these values.
The configuration suite should 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 should 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.
A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography
elsewhere in this document).

2.1.1.1 WINDOWS 7
• A Windows 7 compatible version of Configuration Suite will be available soon. In the meantime, use
the Windows 7 ‘Troubleshoot Compatibility’ wizard to configure the software for operation on
Windows 7. This operation cannot be guaranteed!
2.1.1.4 WINDOWS XP
• Ensure the operating system is logged onto using an Administrator Account. Failure to do this results
in installation failure due to incorrect user permissions disallowing registration of some parts of the
Configuration Suite Software.
• Ensure the operating system is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.
• Ensure that Windows Installer is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.
• Ensure the operating system has Microsoft .net 2 Framework redistributable (for x86) installed and is
fully up to date. This is available from Microsoft’s website.

3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Ensure the Configuration Suite Software is installed on the PC as described above.
The installation of the PC software also installs the DSE Controller USB Driver automatically.
Connect the USB cable to the module and to the PC as shown below.
You are now ready to configure or monitor the module using the Configuration Suite Software.
Occasionally USB devices are disabled by the Windows operating system, the following procedure will re-enable the
device in these instances.
• Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller from the USB port. Wait a moment, then reconnect and try
again. If you still encounter problems then :
• Power cycle the DSE controller If you still encounter problems then :
• Try another USB cable. If you don’t have one, it’s the same type of cable as usually used between a PC
and a USB printer. If you still encounter problems then :
• Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller. Shutdown, then restart the PC. Reconnect the interface,
and then try again. If you continue to experience problems then :
• Check the USB port with another device (for instance a mouse, printer or digital camera).

DSE60xx Series configuration suite
Then select ‘All Programs’ - ‘Deep Sea Electronics PLC’ – “DSE Configuration Suite” – “DSE Configuration
Suite”
After a short delay to load the application, the splash screen is shown, after which the screen will
display:-
This is the initial start-up screen and can be disabled by checking the box Hide this screen at start-up.
The screen prompts the user to select between the three main uses for the software:
• Creating a new configuration. Select the module type under Create new configuration. This allows
you to create a configuration for the ‘latest’ module version. Use File | Convert to... to convert the
configuration to suit an earlier module version or use Tools | Update firmware to update an ‘earlier’
module to the latest firmware version.
• Editing a configuration previously saved to disk or flash memory device. Select the configuration file
either from the Open recent configuration area or by clicking Open a configuration file and browsing
to the file.
• Reading and changing the configuration of a connected module. Click Read configuration from a
module. The file is read from a currently connected 6000 Series controller and is available for editing
in the Configuration Suite.
Alternatively you can ignore this screen and continue to use the program in the background. Once you make a
connection or load/create a configuration, the start-up screen will disappear.

DSE6000 Series configuration suite
6.2.1 MODULE
Miscellaneous Options
Lamp Test At Power = Feature disabled
Up = The LEDs on the module’s fascia will all illuminate when the DC power is
applied as a ‘lamp test’ feature.
Power Save Mode =Normal operation
Enable = Module goes into power save (low current) mode after 1m of inactivity in STOP
mode. Press any button to ‘wake’ the module.
Power Up in Auto =The module enters STOP mode when DC power is applied.
= The module enters AUTO mode when DC power is applied.
Display SPN Strings =The module displays CAN messages in manufacturer numerical code.
(CAN only) = The module displays CAN messages in ENGLISH text alongside the
manufacturer numerical code.
Event log in Hours Run = The engine run hours is added to the recorded event in the event log
Enable Fast Loading = Normal Operation, the safety on timer will be observed in full. This feature is
useful if the module is to be used with some small engines where pre-mature
termination of the delay timer can lead to overspeed alarms on start up.
= The module will terminate the safety on timer once all monitored parameters
have reached their normal settings. This feature is useful if the module is to be used
as a standby controller as it allows the generator to start and go on load in the
shortest possible time.

DSE60xx Series configuration suite
Function Description
Generator Load Inhibit This input is used to prevent the 6000 from loading the generator. If the
IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC circuit breaker generator is already on load, activating this input will cause the 6000 to
unload the generator. Removing the input will allow the generator to be
loaded again.

6.6 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.
32
DSE6000 Series configuration suite
Breaker close pulse The amount of time that Breaker Close Pulse signals will be present when the request to
close a breaker is given.
Breaker Trip pulse The amount of time that Breaker Open Pulse signals will be present when the request to open
a breaker is given.
Return delay A delay, used in auto mode only, that allows for short term removal of the request to stop the
set before action is taken. This is usually used to ensure the set remains on load before
accepting that the start request has been removed.
Cooling time The amount of time that the set will be made to run OFF LOAD before being stopped. This is
to allow the set to cool down and is particularly important for engines with turbo chargers.
ETS Solenoid hold The amount of time the Energise to stop solenoid will be kept energised after the engine has
come to rest. This is used to ensure the set has fully stopped before removal of the stop
solenoid control signal.
Fail to stop delay If the set is called to stop and is still running after the fail to stop delay, a Fail to Stop alarm is
generated.
Generator transient Used to delay the generator under/over volts/frequency alarms. Typically this is used to
delay prevent spurious shutdown alarms caused by large changes in load levels.

44
DSE6000 Series configuration suite
An Alternative Configuration is provided to allow the system designer to cater for different AC requirements
utilising the same generator system. Typically this feature is used by Rental Set Manufacturers where the set
is capable of being operated at (for instance) 120V 50Hz and 240V 50Hz using a selector switch, or by taking
advantage of the “auto voltage sensing” option of the DSE6000 Series.
