Deep Sea Electronics was founded in the mid-1970s to provide reliable and innovative control systems for power generation equipment.
Over the years, Deep Sea Electronics has established a strong reputation for quality and innovation in the generator control industry and has become a trusted brand among generator manufacturers, system integrators, and end-users.
Deep Sea Electronics offers a comprehensive range of generator controllers for diesel and standby generators, including the DSE3110, DSE4520, DSE7310 & DSE8610
These controllers are designed to precisely control and monitor diesel and standby generators, ensuring they perform optimally and deliver reliable power whenever needed.
The DSE3110, DSE4610, DSE6110 and DSE7310 & DSE7410 are a compact, low-cost generator control solution for small to medium-sized diesel generators. This series is ideal for various applications, including construction sites, telecom towers, and backup power for homes and businesses.
The DSE 4520, DSE 4620, DSE6120, DSE7320 & DSE7420 is a more advanced generator control solution that offers high functionality including mains monitoring and protection and auto transfer controls. This series is ideal for use in data centres, hospitals, and other critical power applications where downtime is not an option.
The DSE 8610, DSE 8620, DSE 8660 & DSE8680 are fully-featured generator control solution for large-scale power generation applications, such as power stations and industrial plants featuring a range of synchronising and load sharing options with expansive generator and mains controls.
Deep Sea Electronics generator controllers are a popular choice for power generation applications because they offer a range of benefits and features.
We can advise on the causes of faults and alarms on your generator, please feel free to contact us to discuss the problem and we can go through some checks you can make yourself.
Alternatively we have written a troubleshooting guide that may be helpful, see guide here.
Some generator alarms can be very harmful if not dealt with such as generator low oil pressure or generator high coolant temperature alarms. These issues will cause shutdown or prevent starting to protect your engine. There are other generator alarms that will still allow your generator to run and operate but may cause other issues that affect performance or safety.
Deep Sea controllers are one of the most popular generator controllers for upgrading old generator control panels that require updating or modernizing in a cost effective manner.
Replacing switchgear and control systems can be expensive and complex, therefore by integrating a modern open protocol system such as a deep sea controller, it can greatly minimize the amount of components needed and also makes operation much simpler as all.
Basic generator control upgrades can often be done in days without complex planning, design work and new panel manufacturing.
If you are looking to upgrade your generator control system please contact us to discuss the most convenient option.
Most alarms on deep sea controllers are displayed in written text descriptions rather than fault codes. This makes it simple for users to look for potential problems such as ‘’low oil pressure’’ which would direct you to checking oil levels or ‘’high temperature’’ which would relate to the engine cooling components.
Fail to start is an alarm status which appears after a generator has attempted to crank the engine without successful firing. Usually this alarm appears after 3 failed crank attempts. Usually a generator won’t successfully start if there is an issue with the fuel system or controls in this case.
Alarms can be reset by pressing the alarm acknowledge button, followed by the stop button to clear. If the alarm remains, the fault will not clear and the fault on the generator will need to be rectified first. Please contact us on 02381 550144 for support.
Similar to other deep sea controllers, alarms can be reset by pressing the stop button twice. If this does not clear the alarm, you will need to investigate and rectify the fault on the generator. For help with this please contact us on 02381 550 144
The maintenance alarm on deep sea controllers can only be cleared by accessing the controller through the deep sea configuration suite software. We strongly advise that this is done by a professional, as changes to any program or settings can cause fatal harm to your generator.
You can reset the dse7310 controller by removing the DC power supply and reinstating after. This can usually be done by removing the local 12v fuse or circuit breaker for the DC supply in the control cabinet. If this fails, try disconnecting the engine battery, but often in standby applications there are battery chargers that also will need to be isolated to remove all sources of DC from the controller. For additional support please contact us.
A controller will lock out if there is a shut down status on the controller related to safety protections such as emergency stop button pressed, covers open, empty fuel tank.
If you have checked all of the basics and need further support you may need to speak with a specialist. Contact us for more information.
The controller IP address can be found by accessing via deep sea configuration suite. This can only be done by professionals and generator technicians.
