4.4 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Press , its indicator lights, and controller enters Auto mode.
Starting Sequence,
1. HGM8120A: When Mains is abnormal (over and under voltage, over and under
frequency), it enters into mains abnormal delay and VFD display count down time.
When mains abnormal delay is over, it enters into start delay;
2. HGM8110A: Generator enters into start delay as soon as Remote Start is active.
3. Start Delay timer is shown on VFD display.
4. When start delay is over, preheat relay outputs (if this be configured), preheat delay
XX s is shown at the bottom line of VFD.
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 signal and Fail
To Start message appears on VFD 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 and Aux. input (if
configured) 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 energised, 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 VFD display).
NOTE: In case of Remote Start (off Load), the procedure is the same, except for step
NO. 9: the closing relay will NOT be energised, generator will NOT accept load.
Stopping Sequence
1) HGM8120AIf mains turns normal during genset is running, enter into mains voltage
normal delay and its indicator illuminates after mains is confirmed normally, Start
delay is beginning.
2) HGM8110AGenset enters into stop delay as soon as Remote Start input is
inactive.
3) HGM8120A After stop delay ends, enter cooling time, and generator close relay is
disconnected, after switch transfer delay, mains close relay output, mains is on-load,
generator power supply indicator is extinguishing, and mains power supply indicator is
illuminates.
4) Idle relay is output when the controller enters idle stop delay.
5) Enter into ETS delay and ETS relay is active. Fuel relay output is disconnected.
6) Genset can automatically judge if it is steady when the controller enters Genset after
stop time.
7) After genset stops steadily, enter generator standby status; if genset does not stop,
then controller will alarm (VFD screen display stop failure warn).
8) Enter generator at rest as soon as after stop time is over.
4.5 MANUAL OPERATION
1) HGM8120A: Manual Mode is active when press key and its indicator illuminates.
Press key, then controller enters Test Mode and indicator illuminates. Under the
both modes, press key to start genset, and it automatically detects if it starts
successfully and accelerate high speed running. With high temperature, low oil
pressure, over speed and abnormal voltage during diesel genset running, controller
can protect genset to stop effectively and quickly (please refer to No.4~9 of Starting
Sequence for more details). Under Manual Mode , genset on-load is decided by
whether mains are normal or not. If mains are normal, loading switch isnt transferred;
while mains are abnormal, loading switch is transferred into generators side. Under
Test Mode , after genset runs well in high speed, no matter mains is normal or
not, loading switch must be transferred into Generators side.
2) HGM8110A: Manual Mode is active when press key, and its indicator is
illuminates. Then press key to start generator, it automatically detects if it is started
successfully and genset automatically accelerates high speed running. With high
temperature, low oil pressure, over speed and voltage abnormal during diesel genset
running, controller can protect genset to stop effectively and quickly (please refer to
No.4~9 of Starting Sequence for more details). After genset runs well in high speed,
controller will send signal of Generator close.
3) Manual stop: press key can shutdown the running genset (please refer to No.3~7
of Stopping Sequence for more details).

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 dont select corresponding items, otherwise,
start fail or loss speed signal maybe caused.
5. If genset without oil pressure sensor, please dont select corresponding items.
6. If not select generator 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.

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.
NOTE: HGM8110A controller has no items about mains. Pressing and holding
for a long time can exit parameter setting menu directly and set the controller into
standby mode.

9 SENSORS SETTING
1. When reselect sensors, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard value. For
example, if temperature sensor is SGX (120C resistor type), its sensor curve is SGX
(120C resistor type); if select the SGD (120C 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

10 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, controllers positive and negative
connected to start battery are correct.
3. Emergence stop must be connected with positive of start battery via scram buttons
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 start battery power on; choose manual
mode and controller will executive routine.
5. Set controller under manual mode, press start button, genset will start. After the
cranking 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 engines running
situations and AC generators voltage and frequency. If abnormal, stop genset running
and check all wires connection according to this manual.
7. Select the AUTO mode from controllers 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 Smartgens service.

. If floating charge configured,
please firstly connect output wires of charger to batterys positive and negative directly,
then, connect wires from batterys positive and negative to controllers positive and
negative input ports in order to prevent charge disturbing the controllers normal working.
12.2 SPEED SENSOR INPUT
NOTE: Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment which be installed in starter and for
detecting flywheel teeth. Its connection wires to controller should apply for 2 cores shielding
line. The shielding layer should connect to No. 16 terminal in controller while another side is
hanging in air. The else two signal wires are connected to No.17 and No.18 terminals in
controller. The output voltage of speed sensor should be within AC(1~24)V (effective value)
during the full speed. AC12V is recommended (in rated speed). When install the speed
sensor, let the sensor is spun to contacting flywheel first, then, port out 1/3 lap, and lock the
nuts of sensor at last.
12.3 OUTPUT AND EXPAND RELAYS
CAUTION: All outputs of controller are relay contact output type. If need to expand the
relays, please add freewheel diode to both ends of expand relays coils (when coils of relay
