5.4 AUTO START/STOP OPERATION

Press , its indicator lights, and controller enters Auto mode.

Starting Sequence,
1) HGM8120N: When mains is abnormal (over and under voltage, over and under frequency, loss of
phase, reverse phase sequence), it enters into mains “abnormal delay” and LCD display countdown
time. When mains abnormal delay is over, it enters into “start delay”; it also enters into this mode
when “remote start (on load)” is active.
2) HGM8110N: Generator enters into “start delay” as soon as “remote start (on load)” is active.
3) Start Delay timer is shown on LCD.
4) When start delay is over, preheat relay outputs (if configured), “preheat start
delay XX s” is shown on LCD.
5) When preheat delay is over, fuel relay outputs 1s and then start relay output; if engine crank fails
during “cranking time”, the fuel relay and start relay deactivated and enter into “crank rest time” to
wait for next crank.
6) If engine crank fails within setting times, the controller sends Fail to Start signals and Fail to Start
message appears on LCD alarm page.
7) In case of successful crank attempt, “safety on timer” starts. During this period, low oil pressure,
high water temperature, under speed, charge failure alarms are disabled. As soon as this delay is
over, “start idle delay” is initiated (if configured).
8) During “start idle delay”, under speed, under frequency, under voltage alarms are inhibited. When this
delay is over, “warming up delay” starts (if configured).
9) When “warming up delay” is over, if generator state is normal, its indicator will be illuminated. If
voltage and frequency has reached on-load requirements, the closing relay will be energized,
generator will accept load, generator power indicator will turn on, and generator will enter Normal
Running state; if voltage and frequency are abnormal, the controller will initiate alarm (alarm type will
be displayed on LCD alarm page).
NOTE: In case of “Remote Start (off Load)”, the procedure is the same, except for step NO. 9: the closing relay will NOT

be energized, generator will NOT accept load.

Stopping Sequence:
1) HGM8120N: When mains returns normal during genset running, it enters into mains voltage “normal
delay”. When mains normal delay is over, it enters into “stop delay”; it also can enter into this mode
when “remote start” is inactive.
2) HGM8110N: Generator enters into “stop delay” as soon as “remote start (on load)” is inactive.
3) When stop delay is over, close generator relay is un-energized; generator enters into “cooling down
time”. After “transfer rest time”, close mains relay is energized. Generator indicator extinguish while
mains indicator lights.
4) Idle relay is energized as soon as entering “stop idle delay”.
5) If enter “ETS hold delay”, ETS relay is energized. Fuel relay is deactivated and decides whether
generator is stopped or not automatically.
6) Then enter gen-set “fail to stop time”, auto decides whether generator is stopped or not

HGM8100N Series Genset Controller User Manual Page 17 of 65

 automatically.
7) Enter “after stop time” (if configured) as soon as generator stops. Otherwise, controller will send “fail
to stop” alarm. (If gen-set stopped successfully after warning of “fail to stop”, it will enter “after stop
time” and remove alarm.)
8) Enter “generator at rest” as soon as “after stop time” is over.

5.5 MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION

1) MANUAL START: Press , controller enters into Manual mode and its indicator lights. Press
to start generator, it can automatically detect crank disconnect, and generator accelerates to

6 Oil pressure + Speed sensor + Gen frequency

NOTE:

1. There are 3 conditions to make starter disconnected with engine, that is, speed sensor, generator frequency and

engine oil pressure. They all can be used separately. We recommend that engine oil pressure should be using with

speed sensor and generator frequency together, in order to make the starter motor is separated with engine

immediately and can check crank disconnect exactly.

2. Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment which be installed in starter for detecting flywheel teeth.

3. When set as speed sensor, must ensure that the number of flywheel teeth is as same as setting, otherwise, “over

speed shutdown” or “under speed shutdown” may be caused.

4. If genset without speed sensor, please don’t select corresponding items, otherwise, “start fail” or “loss speed signal”

maybe caused.

5. If genset without oil pressure sensor, please don’t select corresponding items.

6. If not select generator frequency in crank disconnect setting, controller will not collect and display the relative power

quantity (can be used in water pump set); if not select speed sensor in crank disconnect setting, the rotating speed

displayed in controller is calculated by generator frequency and number of poles.

HGM8100N Series Genset Controller User Manual Page 45 of 65

9 PARAMETERS SETTING

In HGM8110N controller, there are no items of mains in setting and also no mains items in configurable
ports of input/output.
CAUTION: Please change the controller parameters when generator is in standby mode only (e. g. Crank disconnect

conditions selection, configurable input, configurable output, various delay), otherwise, shutdown and other abnormal

conditions may happen.

NOTE: Maximum set value must over minimum set value in case that the condition of too high as well as too low will

happen.

NOTE: When setting the warning alarm, please set the correct return value; otherwise, maybe there is abnormal alarm.

When setting the maximum value, the return value must less than set value; when setting the minimum value, the return

value must over set value.

NOTE: Please set the generator frequency value as low as possible when cranking, in order to make the starter be

separated quickly as soon as crank disconnect.

NOTE: Configurable input could not be set as same items; otherwise, there are abnormal functions. However, the
configurable output can be set as same items.

HGM8100N Series Genset Controller User Manual Page 46 of 65

10 SENSORS SETTING

1. When reselect sensors, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard value. For example, if
temperature sensor is SGX (120°C resistor type), its sensor curve is SGX (120°C resistor type); if
select the SGD (120°C resistor type), the temperature sensor curve is SGD curve.
2. When there is difference between standard sensor curves and using sensor, user can adjust it in
“curve type”.
3. When input the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be input from small to large, otherwise, mistake
occurs.
4. If select sensor type as “None”, sensor curve is not working.
5. If corresponding sensor has alarm switch only, user must set this sensor as “None”, otherwise,
maybe there is shutdown or warning.
6. The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as same as below,

11 COMMISSIONING

Please make the under procedures checking before commissioning,

1) Ensure all the connections are correct and wires diameter is suitable.
2) Ensure that the controller DC power has fuse, controller’s positive and negative correctly connected
to starting battery.
3) Emergency stop must be connected with positive of starting battery via scram button’s normal close
point and fuse.
4) Take proper action to prevent engine to crank disconnect (e. g. Remove the connection wire of fuel
valve). If checking is OK, make the starting battery power on; choose manual mode and controller will
execute routine.
5) Set controller under manual mode, press “start” button, genset will start. After the setting times as
setting, controller will send signal of Start Fail; then press “stop” to reset controller.
6) Recover the action of stop engine start (e. g. Connect wire of fuel valve), press start button again,
genset will start. If everything goes well, genset will normal run after idle running (if idle run be set).
During this time, please watch for engine’s running situations and AC generator’s voltage and
frequency. If abnormal, stop genset running and check all wires connection according to this manual.
7) Select the AUTO mode from controller’s panel, connect mains signal. After the mains normal delay,
controller will transfer ATS (if fitted) into mains load. After cooling time, controller will stop genset
and make it into “at rest” mode until there is abnormal of mains.
8) When mains is abnormal again, genset will be started automatically and into normal running, then
controller send signal to making generator switch on, and control the ATS as generator load. If not
like this, please check ATS’ wires connection of control part according to this manual.
9) If there is any other question, please contact SmartGen’s service personnel.

16 ETHERNET INTERFACE

16.1 ETHERNET INTERFACE INTRODUCTION

ETHERNET port, used for controller monitoring, can realize network client connection mode.
NOTE: After changing controller network parameters (e.g. IP address, subnet mask etc.) new settings will take effect
only after the controller is restarted.

16.2 NETWORK CLIENT CONNECTION MODE

When the controller is used as network client, it can be monitored via network port using TCP ModBus
protocol.
The procedure is the following:
1) Set IP address and subnet mask of the controller. The IP address should be in the same network
segment and different from the IP address used by the monitoring equipment (e.g. PC). e.g.: if
monitoring equipment IP address is 192.168.0.16, controller IP can be 192.168.0.18, subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0.
2) Connect the controller. It can be connected to the monitoring equipment directly using network
cable or via switchboard.
3) The communication between the controller and monitoring equipment is carried out using TCP
ModBus protocol.
NOTE: Controller parameters can be set in this connection mode. SmartGen provides testing software for this

connection mode. Communication protocol can be obtained from the SmartGen service.
