NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

FOR MUTUAL STANDBY

WITH DEEP SEA 333 MAINS MONITOR

AND TWO DEEP SEA 7310 GENERATING SET CONTROLLERS

NOTE it is recommended that if you are unsure about the operation of either of the
controllers you read the relevant operating manual before changing any of the settings.
These instructions are for control panels built to the following drawings. Drawing
WP5B2368, WP5B2370 and WP5B2372.

Each control panel is provided with the following electronic controllers

One Deep Sea 333 module
Two Deep Sea 7310 modules

Ancillary controls
Two battery charger switches one for each generating set
Two engine heater switches one for each generating set
One mutual standby priority change push button.
Internal ancillary controls
One automatic priority timer with automatic reset facility

Settings for automatic operation.

Deep Sea (DSE) 333

Set to Automatic
Deep Sea (DSE) 7310
Set to Automatic
Note if the main is not connected to the load the generating set selected will start
immediately.
Provided the DSE333 is in automatic this generating set, once running will be connected to
the load.
Note it is possible that if the second set has priority when it is set to automatic it will also
start immediately. Pressing the priority transfer PB will allow the second set to shutdown on
its normal shutdown cycle. If the generating set is left as priority the first set will commence
its shutdown cycle and when ready transfer the load to the generating set with priority.
With healthy mains

The DSE333 will close the mains contactor connecting the mains to the load.

The DSE 333 controller monitors all three phases for under and over voltage, it also
monitors for under and over frequency. There is a separate phase rotation monitor which
will prevent the mains from being reconnected if it were to return with reverse rotation.

Mains Failure.

In the event of the mains deviating outside these parameters for more than two seconds
(transient delay) the DSE333 will disconnect the mains from the load. After a further 2
seconds a signal will be sent to the DSE7310 selected for priority. After a further second the
generating set will be sent a signal to start. Once started the safety timer (set to 10 seconds)
will allow the generating set to stabilize and provided all generator parameters are healthy
the DSE7310 will send a signal to close the generating set’s own contactor. Once this
contactor is closed a signal is sent to the DSE333 confirming the generating set is available.
The DSE333 will then close the standby contactor connecting the generating set to the load.
The generating set will remain on load until the mains returns or the priority is transferred
either manually or by the automatic timer. In the event of a failure of the generating set the
second DSE7310 will start the second generating set which will be connected to the load in
the same way.
Note if either controller is not set to automatic the generating set it controls will not start.

Mains Return

Once the main returns to within preset limits and the phase rotation is correct. The delay
return timer within the DSE33 (set to 2 minutes) will commence and, provided the mains
remains within limits for this time will open the standby contactor and after a delay of 5
seconds will close the mains contactor connecting the mains to the load. The DSE7310 will
run the generating set with its contactor closed for 60 seconds it will then open the contactor
and run for a further 4.5 minutes on the cool down cycle, after which time it will stop.

MUTUAL STANDBY

Priority Selection

Both generating set controllers need to be set to Automatic for the sets to be available for
automatic change over. If either generating set is not available for any reason the DSE 7310
controller will transfer priority to the other controller and indicate that the priority has been
transferred. This means that regardless of priority selection the first generating set made
available will be started and take load if required.
Operation of the priority controls

A pulse change over relay (R4) is used to transfer priority. A push button on the front of the
control panel can be used to manually transfer priority.
A priority run timer (T1) is used transfer priority automatically. The timer only operates
during a mains failure. The timer starts counting whenever a mains failure occurs. Once the
preset time has lapsed the output activates the changeover relay (R4). This transfers priority
to the second generating set. The reset timer T2 automatically resets the priority run timer
(T1) at the same time as the priority is transferred.
Note if the manual transfer button is used to transfer priority the automatic timer will also
be reset at the same time as the changeover.

Priority Transfer
In the event of a mains failure the priority set will be started and connected to the load.
Whenever there is a change in priority the change over sequence will be initiated. The
DSE7310 controller for the standby set will receive a start signal and after the preset delay
will send a crank signal for this generating set to start. The DSE7310 for the previous set
will start its shutdown sequence. After the return delay time the original set contactor will
open. This will allow the new set contactor to close and the DSE333 will reclose the
standby contactor connecting the new priority set to the load. This generating set will
remain as the priority generating set until the priority is changed again or is shut down due
to any failure. The original generating set will continue to run for the period of its cool
down cycle before stopping.
Note if the standby set fails to start then the DSE 7310 for this set will indicate a shutdown
alarm and at the same time will force the priority back onto the original set. The DSE7310
for this original set will abandon its shutdown cycle and continue operating the original
generating set on load for the duration of the mains failure.
