About the Deep Sea Electronics DSE8620

The DSE8620 is DSE's original auto mains (utility) failure control module for paralleling a single generating set with the mains. DSE describes it as suitable for paralleling single gensets, diesel or gas, with the mains (utility) supply. Its data sheet gives a generator and mains range of 15 V to 333 V AC (L-N), isolated governor and AVR outputs, 11 configurable inputs, 8 configurable outputs and a 220 mm x 160 mm cut-out. Deep Sea Electronics lists the DSE8620 as obsolete and names the DSE8620 MKII as its replacement, a different module.

What is the DSE8620 used for?

The DSE8620 runs a single generating set alongside the mains (utility) supply, taking the load on mains failure or running in parallel with the mains. It indicates status and faults on its LCD, LEDs, sounder and by SMS.

Lifecycle and successor

Discontinued.

OEM successor: DSE8620 MKII

Before you order

What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.

Check the model number DSE8620 on the module's label; DSE's later version carries MKII after the number and is a different module. Send us a photo of the label and we will confirm the details before quoting.
