That Fluke has served me well man and boy ! I actually have three of them in strategic locations around the site :clap: |

Well it's newer than my Avo 8 :clap: Been playing withe the Deep Sea 3110 controller. All very odd, I've wired a pair of those 'wedge bulbs' up to simulate the Fuel & Starter solenoids and despite being able to initiate a 'start sequence' neither ever come on, and eventually it times out 'failed to start after programmed number of attempts'. Now I can make it fail by programming the oil pressure switch inversely - it thinks that the engine failed to stop ! And even more oddly Emergency Stop has no effect what so ever - I can program it to operate either on Opening (ie usual way) or closing, and neither have any effect :scratch: I should perhaps mention that I have downloaded the Deep Sea configuration utility that lets me talk to it via USB. Opening it up, the innards are the usual amorphous surface mount devices with little indication of function, but it looks as though it's core functions are working but elements of it's input / output have hit the deck :( |

Does it need to see a live speed input from a speed probe? What about gen volts from the alternator? ( either single or 3 ph...) I see it has 6 dig ins....some are user configurable...are these active? |
| awemawson:
John it can be set to use an inductive pick up, but currently is set to monitor engine speed deriving it from one phase of the generated output and a fiddle factor. Yes the digital inputs can be individually configured for sense of the contact, and action on the alarm. However the eStop one is fixed apart from the sense of it's contact (which I've tried both ways) Of course as it is not driving either the fuel solenoid or the starter relay, not sensing speed is rather academic as it won't start anyway! |
