3.11  SOUNDER 

 
DSE8600 Series features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and electrical trip 
alarms. 
 

Sounder level 

64db @ 1m 

 

3.11.1  ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION 

 
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE Configuration 
Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by configuring an auxiliary 
input for “Alarm Mute” (if required). 
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal sounder. 
The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate ‘in parallel’ with each other. Either signal 
will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output. 
 
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button: 
 

 

 

 

 
 

3.12  ACCUMULATED INSTRUMENTATION  

 

NOTE:  When  an  accumulated  instrumentation  value  exceeds  the  maximum  number  as 

listed below, it will reset and begin counting from zero again. 

 

Engine hours run 

Maximum 99999 hrs 59 minutes (approximately 11yrs 4months) 

Number of starts 

1,000,000 (1 million) 

 
The  number  of  logged  Engine  Hours  and  Number  of  Starts  can  be  set/reset  using  the  DSE 
Configuration  Suite  PC  software.  Depending  upon  module  configuration,  this  may  have  been  PIN 
number locked by your generator supplier
