Description
1 DESCRIPTION
This manual covers the installation and generic operation of the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software.
Separate manuals cover the configuration and SCADA section for DSE modules supported by the software.
The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software allows DSE modules to be connected to a PC via USB ‘A –USB
B’ cable or a DSE813 USB Interface. 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 and also has diagnostic monitoring facilities.
The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software 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
on some modules 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.
Separate manuals deal with the configuration and operation of the individual modules.
