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
