2 DESCRIPTION
The DSE4500 Series configuration suite allows the 4500 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).
For information in regards to instating and using the DSE Configuration Suite Software please refer to DSE
publication: 057-151 DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Installation & Operation Manual which can
be found on our website: www.deepseaplc.com

Select the required section with the mouse.
This section allows the user to change the options related to the module itself.
Miscellaneous Options
Lamp Test At Power = Feature disabled
Up = All the LEDs on the module’s fascia illuminate when the DC power is applied
as a ‘lamp test’ feature.
Protected Start Mode If enabled, the start button must be pressed twice to confirm manual start request
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.
Deep Sleep Mode (Available only if Power Save Mode is Enabled)
Enable When enabled, the module will go into a deeper sleep state with maximum power
saving
Power Up in Mode Select the mode that the module enters when DC power is applied.
Available modes to select from: Auto, Manual, Stop mode
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

Edit Config
Miscellaneous Options
Enable Fast Loading = Normal Operation, the safety on timer is 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.
Maintenance PIN If enabled, maintenance alarm reset through the front panel editor is PIN protected
Protected Enable
Enable Cool Down in Changes the way the module reacts to the Stop button.
Stop Mode = if the engine is running on load and the stop button is pressed, the module will
open the breaker and directly shutdown the engine.
= if the engine is running and the breaker is closed, the module will open the
breaker, wait for the cool down timer to expire, then shutdown the engine.
NOTE: - If the engine is running with the breaker open, the module will
always shutdown the engine directly even if this option is enabled.
All Warnings are = Normal Operation, the warnings and pre-alarms will automatically reset once
Latched the triggering condition has cleared.
= Warning and pre-alarms latch when triggered. Resetting the alarm is performed
by an input configured for Alarm Reset or pressing the Stop/Reset button (once the
triggering condition has been cleared).
