1 OVERVIEW
HGM8110DC genset controller is especially designed for single unit system in DC and AC
applications, which can adapt extremely high/low temperature environment (-40~+70)°C. The
controllers can operate reliability in extreme temperature conditions with the help of VFD display and
the components that resist extreme temperature. Controller has strong ability of anti-electromagnetic
interference, can be used under complex electromagnetic interference environment. It is easy to
maintain and upgrade due to the plug-in terminal. Enable selecting different languages including
Chinese, English and other languages.
HGM8110DC genset controller integrates digitization, intelligentization and network technology
which is used for genset automation and monitor control system of single unit to achieve automatic
start/stop, DC and AC data measurement, alarm protection and ―three remote‖ functions(remote
control, remote measuring and remote communication).
HGM8110DC genset controller adopts 32-bit micro-processor technology with precision
parameters measuring, fixed value adjustment, time setting and set value adjusting and etc. Majority
parameters can be configured from front panel, and all parameters can be configured by PC via
RS485 interface or ETHERNET to adjust and monitor. It can be widely used in all types of automatic
genset control system with compact structure, advanced circuits, simple connections and high
reliability.

5.4 AUTO START/STOP OPERATION
Press , its indicator lights, and controller enters Auto mode.
Starting Sequence,
1) HGM8110DC:Generator enters into ―Start Delay‖ as soon as ―Remote Start on Load‖ is active.
2) Start delay timer is shown on LCD.
3) When start delay is over, preheat relay outputs (if this be configured), ―Preheat Start
Delay XX s‖ is shown on LCD.
4) 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.
5) If engine crank fails within setting times, the controller sends ―Fail to Start‖signals and ―Fail to Start‖
message appears on LCD alarm page.
6) 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).
7) During ―Start Idle Delay‖, under speed, under frequency, under voltage alarms are inhibited. When
this delay is over, ―Warming Up Delay‖ starts (if configured).
8) 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. 8: the closing relay
will NOT be energized, generator will NOT accept load.
Stopping Sequence:
1) HGM8110DC, generator enters into ―stop delay‖ as soon as ―Remote Start‖ is inactive.
2) When stop delay is over, close generator relay is un-energized; generator enters into ―Cooling Time‖.
Generator indicator extinguish while mains indicator lights.
3) Idle relay is energized as soon as entering ―Stop Idle Delay‖.
4) If enter ―ETS hold delay‖, ETS relay is energized. Fuel relay is deactivated and decides whether
generator is stopped or not automatically.
5) Then enter gen-set ―Fail to stop time‖, auto decides whether generator is stopped or not
automatically.
6) 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 ―Failed to Stop‖, it will enter
―After Stop Time‖ and remove alarm)
7) Enter ―Generator at Rest‖ as soon as ―After Stop Time‖ is over.

1) If input port is configured as “Close Mains 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 signals 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 Close Mains Auxiliary
Generator un-load is transferred into generator load, close generator output.
Generator load is transferred into generator un-load, open generator output.
NOTE:
1) When using ATS of no interposition, switch off detecting should “SELECT Disable”;
2) 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;
3) When using AC contactor, switch off “SELECT Enable” is recommended.
