WARNING!
Toavoidpersonalinjuryorequipmentdamage,onlyqualifiedpersonnelshould
perform the procedures in this manual.
Lethal voltage is present at the rear panel when the unit is energized. Rear
panel connections should be made only when the unit is de-energized.
CAUTION
The Manual mode excitation level must be evaluated prior to enabling this
feature. If the level of excitation current is inappropriate for the generator,
severe damage to the generator may occur.
Improper PID numbers will result in poor system performance or system
damage.
Before uploading a settings file, remove operating power from the DECS-100,
disconnect the field wiring from terminals F+ and F–, and re-apply operating
power to the DECS-100.

NOTE
Be sure that the DECS-100 is hard-wired to earth ground with no smaller than
12AWGcopperwireattachedtothegroundterminalontherearoftheunitcase.
When the unit is configured in a system with other devices, it is recommended
to use a separate lead to the ground bus from each unit.

DECS-100 General Information 1-1
SECTION 1 • GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL
The Basler Digital Excitation Control System (DECS-100) is an electronic, solid-state, microprocessor based
control device. The DECS-100 regulates the output voltage of a brushless, ac generator by controlling the
current into the generator exciter field. Input power to the DECS-100 can be from a multi-pole,
high-frequency, permanent magnet generator (PMG) or from the generator output when used as a
conventional, shunt-excited, excitation system.
The DECS-100 is supplied in an encapsulated package designed for behind-the-panel mounting. The
DECS-100 is held in place by thread-forming screws that thread into its plastic shell. Front panel indicators
(LEDs) annunciate DECS-100 status and system conditions. DECS-100 connections are made through
quarter-inch, quick-connect terminals on the rear panel. A 9-pin DB-9 type connector on the rear panel
provides communication between the DECS-100 and an IBM compatible PC.
FEATURES
DECS-100 units have the following features and capabilities.
CFour control modes: automatic voltage regulation (AVR), manual or field current regulation (FCR),
power factor (PF) regulation, and reactive power (var) regulation.
CProgrammable stability settings.
CSoft start and voltage buildup control with an adjustable ramp in AVR control mode.
COverexcitation (OEL) limiting in AVR, var, and PF control modes.
CUnderfrequency (volts/hertz) regulation.
CThree-phase or single-phase generator voltage (RMS ) sensing/regulation in AVR mode.
CSingle-phase bus voltage (RMS ) sensing.
CSingle-phase generator current sensing for metering and regulation purposes.
CField current and field voltage sensing.
COne analog input for proportional remote control of the setpoint.
CFive contact sensing inputs for system interface.
COne common output relay for alarm indication and trip functions.
CFour protection functions (field overvoltage, field overcurrent, generator overvoltage, and loss of
sensing).
CGenerator paralleling with reactive droop compensation and reactive differential compensation.
CRear RS-232 communication port for personal computer communication using BESTCOMS
Windows® based software for fast, user-friendly, setup and control.
MODEL AND STYLE NUMBER DESCRIPTION
General
DECS-100 electrical characteristics and operational features are defined by a combination of letters and
numbers that make up the style number. The model number, together with the style number, describe the
options included in a specific device, and appear on a label affixed to the rear panel. Upon receipt of a
DECS-100, be sure to check the style number against the requisition and the packing list to ensure that they
agree.
