Deep Sea Electronics (DSE)
ERBA MARINE ROLE
Marine generator controller selection, panel integration, project supply and technical enquiry support.
QUOTATION BOUNDARY
Deep Sea Electronics product names and technical references identify the manufacturer and source range. ERBA Marine is the project enquiry and supply contact. Final make, model, configuration, firmware, documentation, warranty, delivery and service scope are confirmed only in ERBA Marine's written quotation.
CURRENT DSE REFERENCE
Where DSE2160 fits
Panels needing additional alarms, switches, measurements or controlled outputs beyond the host controller's onboard I/O.
- Eight additional inputs
- Eight configurable digital input/output channels
- Two analogue-capable inputs
- DSENet connection to DSEG8600
- CAN connection to supported DSEM platforms
Reference boundary: Official DSE product reference checked 2026-08-24. Product revisions, firmware, variants and compatibility remain subject to the manufacturer and ERBA's written quotation.
ENGINEERING BOUNDARY
Selection is system-specific
- Not a blanket marine, flag or class approval claim
- Governor, AVR, CAN, sensors, I/O and breaker logic must be confirmed
- Mains functions are applied to shore-source arrangements only where the vessel design permits
- Programming, drawings, panel build, testing and commissioning scope are quotation-specific

- Generator kVA/kW, voltage, phase, frequency and alternator details
- Engine make/model, ECU or conventional sensors, starting voltage and wiring information
- Breaker arrangement, bus sections, shore or mains source and permitted operating modes
- Required synchronising, kW/kVAr sharing, governor and AVR interfaces

- Panel cut-out, enclosure/IP needs, classification/flag documentation and delivery schedule
GENERATOR CONTROL FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Current-model guidance and the information ERBA needs before confirming a marine generator control solution.
Panels needing additional alarms, switches, measurements or controlled outputs beyond the host controller’s onboard I/O. Final suitability depends on the complete generator, engine, breaker, bus, source and project-document requirements.
The DSE8610 MKII is ERBA’s core current choice for generator-to-generator synchronising and load sharing. DSE8620 MKII, DSE8660 MKII and DSE8680 cover different shore or mains, ATS and bus-tie roles, while the DSEG8-Series is considered for more complex systems.
Yes, as a technical retrofit enquiry. Send the existing controller model, panel photographs, wiring drawings, engine and alternator details, breaker arrangement and required operating sequence. A replacement is not assumed to be pin-compatible until the interfaces are checked.
The current DSE products shown are generator-control products that may be selected for marine generator projects. Vessel, flag, classification, EMC, enclosure and documentation requirements must be reviewed for the specific installation; the page does not claim blanket marine approval.
Provide generator quantity and rating, voltage/phase/frequency, engine and alternator details, DC supply, sensor or CAN interface, breakers and bus arrangement, shore or mains source, required communications, panel dimensions, existing drawings and delivery location.
Configuration, panel integration, drawings, testing, commissioning support and included accessories vary by project. ERBA’s written quotation will state the exact controller, programming and supply scope; no default commissioning scope is implied by the catalogue page.
