DSE Model 7000 Series Control and Instrumentation System Operators Manual
84 Part No. 057-074 7000 Series OPERATING MANUAL ISSUE 5 15/10/2009 ADM
8.1 PROTECTIONS DISABLED
NOTE:- This feature is available in module versions 4 and above.
User configuration is possible to prevent Shutdown / Electrical Trip alarms from stopping the engine.
Under such conditions, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator of this status.
This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for “Warning only”, “Protections
Disabled”, “Run to Destruction”, “War mode” or other similar wording.
When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature either
permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer provides this switch
(not DSE) so its location will vary depending upon manufacturer, however it normally takes the form of a key
operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon configuration, a warning alarm may be generated
when the switch is operated.
The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. Writing a configuration to the controller
that has “Protections Disabled” configured, results in a warning message appearing on the PC screen for the user
to acknowledge before the controller’s configuration is changed. This prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.
8.1.1 INDICATION / WARNING ALARMS
Under Indication or Warning alarms :
•
The module operation is unaffected by the Protections Disabled feature. See sections entitled Indications

8.1.2 SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARMS

Protections Disabled has been activated.

document.
