1 OVERVIEW
HGM8110A/8120A genset controllers are especially designed for extremely high/low temperature
environment (-40~+70)°C. The controllers can operate reliably in extreme temperature conditions
with the help of VFD display and the components that resist extreme temperature. All display
information is Chinese (English is optional). Operation information, status information and faults
information are all displayed which make commissioning convenience for factory personnel.
Controller can be used under complex electromagnetic interference environment with the strong
ability of anti-electromagnetic interference. Easy to maintain and upgrade due to the plug-in terminal.
HGM8110A/8120A genset controllers integrate digitization, intelligentization and network
technology which are used for genset automation and monitor control system of single unit to
achieve automatic start/stop, data measuring, alarm protection and “four remotes” (remote control,
remote measuring, remote communication and remote regulating).
HGM8110A/8120A genset controllers adopt micro-processor technology with precision parameters
measuring, fixed value adjustment, time setting and threshold adjusting and etc. Majority
parameters can be configured from front panel, and all parameters can be configured by RS485
interface (or RS232) to adjust via PC. It can be widely used in all types of automatic genset control
system with compact structure, advanced circuits, simple connections and high reliability.

2 PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS
♦HGM8100A series controller has two types:
HGM8110A: ASM (Automatic Start Module), used for single automation systems;
HGM8120A: AMF (Auto Mains Failure), updates based on HGM8110A, moreover, has mains
electric quantity monitoring and mains/generator automatic transfer control function, especially
for automatic system composed by generator and mains;
♦With ARM-based 32-bit SCM, highly integrated hardware, new reliability level;
♦Vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), selectable Chinese/English interface which can be chosen at
the site, making commissioning convenience for factory personnel;
♦Widely temperature range: (-40~+70)°C, can be used in extreme temperature environment;
♦Suitable for 3-phase 4-wire, 3-phase 3-wire, single phase 2-wire, and 2-phase 3-wire systems with
voltage 120/240V and frequency 50/60Hz;
♦Collects and shows 3-phase voltage, current, power parameter and frequency of generator or
mains;
Mains
Line voltage (Uab, Ubc, and Uca) V (unit)
Phase voltage (Ua, Ub, and Uc) V (unit)
Frequency f Hz (unit)
Generator
Line voltage (Uab, Ubc, and Uca) V (unit)
Phase voltage (Ua, Ub, and Uc) V (unit)
Frequency f Hz (unit)
Load
3-phase Current Ia, Ib, Ic A (unit)
Active power (P) kW (unit)
Apparent power (S) kVA (unit)
Power factor (λ)
Accumulate total generator power (W) kWh (unit)
♦For Mains, controller has over and under voltage, over and under frequency, loss of phase and
reverse phase sequence detection functions; For generator, controller has over and under voltage,
over and under frequency, over current, over and reverse power, loss of phase, reverse phase
sequence detection functions;
♦3 fixed analog sensors (temperature, oil pressure and liquid level);

HGM8110A/8120A Genset Controller User Manual Page 8 of 57
♦2 configurable sensors can be set as sensor of temperature, oil pressure or fuel level;
♦Precision measure and display parameters about Engine,
Temp. (WT) °C/°F both be displayed
Oil pressure (OP) kPa/psi/bar all be displayed
Speed (RPM)
Voltage of Battery (VB) V (unit)
Voltage of Charger (VD) V (unit)
Hour count (HC) can accumulate to max. 65535 hours.
Start times can accumulate to max. 65535 times.
♦Protection: automatic start/stop of the gen-set, ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) control with perfect
fault display and protection function;
Fault display and protection items:
High temperature alarm
High temperature shutdown
Low oil pressure alarm
Low oil pressure shutdown
Over speed shutdown
Low fuel level warn
Battery voltage high warn
Battery voltage low warn
Load over current shutdown
Fail to start alarm
Fail to stop alarm
Emergency stop alarm
Oil pressure sensor open circuit alarm
Temperature sensor open circuit alarm
♦All output ports are relay-out;
♦Parameter setting: parameters can be modified and stored in internal EEPROM memory and
cannot be lost even in case of power outage; most of them can be adjusted using front panel of
the controller and all of them can be modified using PC via RS485/RS232 ports;
♦More kinds of curves of temperature, oil pressure, fuel level can be used directly and users can
define the sensor curves by themselves;
♦Multiple crank disconnect conditions (speed sensor, oil pressure, generator frequency) are
optional;

HGM8110A/8120A Genset Controller User Manual Page 9 of 57
♦Real time clock and run time accumulation function. 99 pieces of event logs can be circularly
stored and inquired on the spot; also can be print or be inquired via PC;
♦Scheduled start & stop generator (can be set as start genset once a week/month);
♦With maintenance function. Actions (warning, shutdown or trip and stop) can be set when
maintenance time out;
♦Can be used on pumping units and as an indicating instrument (indicate and alarm are enable
only, relay is inhibited);
♦Accumulative total electric energy. Users can reset it and re-accumulate the value which make
convenience to users to count the total value as their wish;
♦Widely power supply range: DC (8~35)V, suitable to12/24V starting battery voltage environment;
♦With international standard MODBUS communication protocol, better error checking capability,
and with RS232 and RS485 (coupling isolation) communication interface, can realize functions of
remote control, remote measuring, remote communication and remote regulating, facilitate
remote centralized monitoring of genset;
♦Waterproof security level IP55 due to rubber seal installed between the controller enclosure and
panel fascia;
♦Metal fixing clips enable perfect in high temperature environment;
♦Modular design, pluggable connection terminals and embedded installation way; compact
structure with easy mounting.
