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) HGM8120A：If 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) HGM8110A：Genset 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 isn’t transferred;
while mains are abnormal, loading switch is transferred into generator’s side. Under
“Test Mode “, after genset runs well in high speed, no matter mains is normal or
not, loading switch must be transferred into Generator’s 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).

4.6 GENSET CONTROLLER ATS CONTROL PROCEDURES
1. HGM8120A ATS CONTROL PROCEDURES
1) If input port is configured as Closed Auxiliary (Mains Closed Auxiliary/ Gen
Closed Auxiliary)
A. If “Open breaker detect” is “SELECT Enable”
When transferring load from mains to generator, controller begins detecting “fail to transfer”,
then the open delay and transfer rest delay will begin. When detecting time out, if switch
open failed, the generator will not switch on, otherwise, generator switch on. Detecting
transfer failure while generator switch on. When detecting time out, if switch on fail, it is
need to wait for generator to switch on. If transfer failed and warning “SELECT Enable”,
there is alarming signal whatever switch on or off failure.
The way to transfer from generator load to mains load is as same as above.
B. If “Open breaker detect” is “SELECT Disable”
Mains load is transferred into generator load, after the delay of switch off and transfer
interval, generator switch on. Detecting transfer fail while generator switch on. After
detecting time out, if switch on fail, then wait for generator switch on. If transfer fail and
warning “SELECT Enable”, there is alarming signal.
2) If input port is not configured as Close Mains Auxiliary
Mains load is transferred into generator load, after switch off and transfer interval delay,
generator switch on.
The way to transfer generator load to mains load is as same as above.
2. HGM8110A ATS CONTROL PROCEDURES
1) If input port is configured as Gen Closed Auxiliary
A. If “Open breaker detect” is “SELECT Enable”
Generator load is transferred into generator un-load, after the delay of switch off, detecting
transfer failure while switch off output. When detecting time out, if switch off failed, it will
wait for switch off. Otherwise, switch off is completed.
Generator unload is transferred into generator load, after the delay of switch on, detecting
transfer failure while switch on outputting. When detecting time out, if switch on failed, it will
wait for switch on. Otherwise, switch on is completed.
If transfer failed and warning “SELECT Enable”, there is alarming signal whatever switch
on or off failure.
B. If “Open breaker detect” is “SELECT Disable”

Generator load is transferred into generator unload, after the delay of switch off, switch off
is completed.
Generator unload is transferred into generator load, after the delay of switch on, detecting
transfer failure while switch on outputting. When detecting time out, if switch on failed, to
wait for switch on. Otherwise, switch on is completed.
If transfer failure warning is “SELECT Enable”, there is warning signal that “switch on fail”.
2) If input port is not configured as Gen Closed Auxiliary
Generator un-load is transferred into generator load, close generator output.
Generator load is transferred into generator un-load, open generator output.
NOTE:
When using ATS of no interposition, switch off detecting should “SELECT Disable”;
When using ATS of having interposition, switch off “SELECT Disable” or “SELECT Enable”
both are OK. If choose “SELECT Enable”, switch off output should be configured;
When using AC contactor, switch off “SELECT Enable” is recommended.

Note：Overcurrent setting details about definite time delay and inverse definite
minimum time are as follows:
Definite Time：Overcurrent delay is definite time delay. Different overcurrent value has
corresponding delay.
Inverse Definite Minimum Time(IDMT)：Overcurrent delay decrease with the increase of
overcurrent. Different overcurrent value has corresponding delay.
IDMT formula:
T = t / ((IA/IT)-1)2
T：Overcurrent delay (second)

t：Timing multiplier ratio
IA：Current max. load current（L1/L2/L3）
IT：Overcurrent setting value
Example：
t = 36
IA = 550A
IT =500A
Conclusion: T = 3600s(1hour)

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 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.

8 PARAMETER EDITING
1) Advanced Parameters Setting：After controller start,

Input Password
press and to advanced parameter password
confirmation interface (picture on the right). Press “+” 0****
and “-” to increase or decrease values and input the

corresponding password; press “√” key to right move the bit, in fourth bit press “√”
key to check password. If password is correct, enter into advanced parameter setting
interface, otherwise, exit directly. (Factory default password is 00318 and users can
modify it.)
Press “+” key and “-” key to scroll screen; select parameter you want to configure and
press “√” key (the parameter will highlight with black), press“+” key or “-” key to
change parameter value, press “√ ” key to move the bit, in fourth bit press“√” key to
confirm setting.
2) Basic Parameter Setting：After controller start, press Basic Parameter Setting
for more than 3s to enter into Basic Parameter >Return
Setting interface; The frequently-used parameters can >Mains Rated Voltage
> Mains Rated Frequency
be set via both Basic Parameter Setting and Advanced >Crank Disconnect
Parameter Setting, however, set the frequently-used
parameters via Basic Parameter Setting is recommended as there are lots of
parameters in Advanced Parameter Setting and inconvenience. The picture on the
right is “Basic Parameter Setting” interface, the parameter which highlight with black
is the current setting one.
3) Date and Time Setting: After controller start,
Date and Time
press and to the Date and Time Setting interface 2013.01.26 (6) 15:19:22
(picture on the right). The digital which highlight with
black is currently adaptable for user by pressing “+”
key and “-” key to increase and decrease the value.
Press “√” key to confirm setting and the bit will right move automatically. Number “6”
in the parenthesis is the day of the week. It is set by the microprocessor based on
current date, so the user does not need to modify it.
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.
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 (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,
Normal Pressure Unit Conversion Form
pa kgf/cm2 bar psi

1Pa 1 1.02x10－5 1x10－5 1.45x10－4

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, controller’s positive and negative
connected to start battery are correct.
3. Emergence stop must be connected with positive of start 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 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 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.

overall dimensions and cutout dimensions for panel, please refers to as following,
12.1 BATTERY VOLTAGE INPUT

NOTE: HGM8110A/8120A controller can suit for widely range of battery voltage
DC(8~35)V. Negative of battery must be connected with the engine shell. The diameter of
wire which from power supply to battery must be over 2.5mm2. If floating charge configured,
please firstly connect output wires of charger to battery’s positive and negative directly,
then, connect wires from battery’s positive and negative to controller’s positive and
negative input ports in order to prevent charge disturbing the controller’s 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 relay’s coils (when coils of relay
has DC current) or, add resistance-capacitance return circuit (when coils of relay has AC
current), in order to prevent disturbance to controller or others equipment.

12.4 AC INPUT
Current input of HGM8110A/8120A controller must be connected to outside current
transformer. And the current transformer’s secondary side current must be 5A. At the same
time, the phases of current transformer and input voltage must correct. Otherwise, the
