DSE 3110 ENGINE CONTROL
PROTECTIONS
When an alarm is present, the Common alarm LED (if configured) will
illuminate. The LCD display will show an icon to indicate the failure.
WARNINGS
Warnings are non-critical alarm conditions and do not affect the
operation of the generator system; they serve to draw the operator’s
attention to an undesirable condition. Warning alarms are self-resetting
when the fault condition is removed. The icon will appear steady in the
display.
SHUTDOWNS
Shutdowns are critical alarm conditions that stop the engine and draw
the operator’s attention to an undesirable condition. Shutdown alarms
are latching. The fault must be removed and the Stop/Reset button
pressed to reset the module. The icon will appear flashing in the
display.
MODULE DISPLAY
TIMER ICON
When the module is controlling the engine (starting and stopping),
an animated timer icon will be displayed in the icon area to indicate
that a timer is active. For example, cranking time, crank test, etc.
STOPPED ICON
When there are no alarms present, an icon will be
displayed to indicate the engine is stopped and what mode the unit is
in Stop mode, Auto mode, or Manual mode.
RUNNING ICON
When there are no alarms present, an animated icon is displayed
to indicate the engine is running.
USB CONNECTION
When a USB connection is made to the module, the USB
icon is displayed.
MEMORY CORRUPTION
If either the config file or engine file becomes corrupted, the unit
will display the memory corruption icon.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Reasonable care in preventative maintenance will ensure high
reliability and a long life for the engine-generator set and Automatic
Transfer Switch.
WARNING:
When performing any type of maintenance on this equipment, make
sure the selector switch on the engine-generator is in the off position.
If you are working in the Automatic Transfer Switch, confirm with a
reliable meter that all power has been disconnected.
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
Clean and inspect the switch once a year. De-energize all power
sources, both line and engine-generator set, then brush and vacuum
away any excessive dust or dirt accumulation. At this time, with the
conductor de-energized, you can remove the contact covers and check
the contacts. Make sure contacts are clean and not burned or pitted.
ENGINE-GENERATOR SET
Service the engine in accordance with the engine manufacturer’s
manual provided with your new equipment. Routinely remove debris
and dirt from around the inside generator enclosure. Ensure that the air
intakes are free from leaves and other debris at all times.
Clean and inspect battery terminals at least twice a year. Also check
the battery water level at least twice a year.
Other than keeping the generator clean and free of debris, there is
no other routine or preventative maintenance required as long as the
generator is run bi-weekly to keep it dry and in good working order.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Extreme cold weather operation requires special considerations.
Higher CCA batteries are required for cold weather starting; 650 CCA
or larger are recommended. In addition, you should consider installing
an oil heater kit and a battery warmer for reliable starting during cold
weather.
