DSEG8500
Standard Parallel Genset Controller
The DSEG8500 is a parallel genset controller with integral heater designed for complex paralleling applications. The DSEG8500 can be configured to provide paralleling for up to 64 generators on a single site and provides a wide range of high-end features for multiple application environments. The module is configurable for use as a single-set controller or multi-set controller, and can be used with the DSEG8600 configured as a multi-set or mains (utility) controller.

8 V to 35 V DC continuous
Cranking Dropouts
Able to survive 0 V for 100 ms, providing supply was at least 10 V before dropout
Able to survive 0 V for 100 ms, providing supply was at least 10 V before dropout
and supply recovers to 5 V. This is achieved without the need for internal batteries.
Backlight will not be maintained during cranking.
