DSE Model 7560 ATS and Mains Controller Operators Manual
057-017 7560 OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 10.2 10/02/09 AM 29
6 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS
STOP/RESET
This push-button places the module into its Stop/reset mode. This will
clear any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been
removed. If the engine is running and this push-button is operated, the
module will automatically instruct the generator contactor/breaker to
unload the generator. The fuel supply will be removed and engine will be
brought to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be present while
operating in the mode, a remote start will not occur.
MANUAL
This push-button is used to allow manual control of the generator functions.
Entering this mode from another mode will initially not cause any change of
operating state, but allows further push-buttons to be used to control the
generator operation. For example, once in Manual mode it is possible to
start the engine by using the ‘START’ push-button. If the engine is running,
off-load in the Manual mode and a remote start signal becomes present,
the module will automatically instruct the generator contactor/breaker
device to place the generator on load. Should the remote start signal
then be removed the generator will remain on load until either the
‘STOP/RESET’ or ‘AUTO’ push-buttons are operated.
START
This push-button is used to start the engine. The module must first be
placed in the ‘MANUAL’ mode of operation. The ‘START’ button should
then be operated. The engine will then automatically attempt to start.
Should it fail on the first attempt it will re-try until either the engine fires or
the pre-set number of attempts have been made. To stop the engine the
‘STOP/RESET’ button should be operated. It is also possible to configure
the module such that the start push-button must be held to maintain engine
cranking.
NOTE:- Different modes of operation are possible - Please refer
to your configuration source for details.
AUTO
This push-button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode
allows the module to control the function of the generator automatically.
The module will monitor the remote start input and once a start condition
is signalled the set will be automatically started and placed on load. If the
starting signal is removed, the module will automatically transfer the load
from the generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer
and cooling timer as necessary. The module will then await the next start
event. For further details, please see the more detailed description of
‘Auto Operation’ earlier in this manual.
ALARM MUTE
This push-button is used to silence the internal alarm sounder and also any
external sounder devices fed from the audible alarm output. Any further
alarm conditions will reactivate the sounder. Once the alarm has been
muted and investigated, it may then be cleared.
Refer to the ‘Protections’ section of this manual for details.
When the Alarm Mute is operated a Lamp test function will also be
implemented and all LED indicators will be illuminated.
