1) There are 3 kinds of crank disconnect conditions. Magnetic pickup sensor and
generator can be used alone. Oil pressure must be used with magnetic pickup
sensor and the generator, in order to make the starter and the engine disconnect as
soon as possible.
2) Magnetic pickup sensor is installed in the engine for testing flywheel teeth.
3) When choosing magnetic pickup sensor, ensure the number of flywheel teeth is
same as the pre-set, otherwise over or under speed shutdown may appear.
4) If generator has no magnetic pickup sensor, don't choose corresponding item;
otherwise Fail to Start or Loss of Speed Signal shutdown will occur.
5) If the generator has no oil pressure sensor, don't choose corresponding item.
6) If generator has not been selected, controller will not measure and display the
relative parameters (can be applied to the pump set); if magnetic pickup sensor has
not been selected, the rotating speed will calculated by the generating AC signal.

9 SENSOR SETTING

1) When choosing sensor, standard of sensor curve will be needed. If temperature

sensor is set as SGH (120C resistor type), sensor curve should be SGH (120oC
resistor type); If it is set as SGD (120C resistor type), sensor curve should be
SGD curve.
2) If there is difference between standard sensor curve and chosen sensor curve,

HGM6100U Automatic Genset Controller ISSUE 2012-06-04 Version 1.1 Page 26 of 32

 HGM6100U Series Automatic Control Module

select "defined sensor", and then input defined sensor curve.

3) When sensor curve is inputted, X value (resistance) must be in accordance with
the order of higher to lower, otherwise errors will occur.
4) When sensor is selected as "Not used", temperature, pressure and fuel level will
be display as" - - -" in LCD.
5) If there is no pressure sensor, but only has low pressure alarm switch, then you
must set pressure sensor as "Not used", otherwise oil pressure low alarm
shutdown may appear.
6) Can set several points of forehand or backmost as the same ordinate, as the
following picture:

10COMMISSIONING

Before operation, the following checking should be carried out:

1) Check and ensure all the connections are correct and wires diameter is suitable.

2) Ensure that the controller DC power has fuse; battery positive and negative have

correctly connected.

3) Emergence stop input must be connected to positive of starting battery via normally

HGM6100U Automatic Genset Controller ISSUE 2012-06-04 Version 1.1 Page 27 of 32

 HGM6100U Series Automatic Control Module

close contact of emergency stop.

4) Take proper actions to prevent engine to disconnect crank (e. g. Remove the

connections of fuel value). If checking is OK, connect start battery, select Manual

Mode, controller will execute the program.

5) Set controller as Manual Mode, press start button to start genset. If failed within the

setting crank times, controller will send Failed to Start signal; then press stop to

reset controller.

6) Recover actions of preventing engine to disconnect crank (e. g. Connect wire of fuel

value), press start button again, genset will start. If everything goes well, genset will

normal run after idle running (if configured). During this period, watch for engines

running situations and voltage and frequency of alternator. If there is abnormal, stop

genset and check all connections according to this manual.

7) Select the Auto Mode from front panel, connect to mains signal. After the mains

normal delay, controller will transfer ATS (if configured) into mains load. After cooling,

controller will stop genset and into standby state until mains abnormal again.

8) When mains abnormal again, genset will start automatically and into normal running,

send signal to make gens close, transfer ATS and make genset take load. If it not

likes this, please check connections of ATS according to this manual.

9) If there are any other questions, please contact Smartgens service.

12.2 OVERALL DIMENSION AND PANEL CUTOUT

1) Battery Voltage Input

HGM6100U series controller can be applicable to (8~35) VDC battery voltage.
Battery negative must be reliably connected to engine shell. The connection
between controller power and battery should not be less than 2.5mm2. If a float
charger is fitted, please connect output line of the charger with battery directly, and
then connect battery positive and negative to power input of controller separately,
in case that charger will interfere with the normal running of controller.
2) Speed Sensor Input
Speed sensor is installed in the engine for testing flywheel teeth. The connection
with controller uses 2-core screen, shield layer should be connected to terminal16
of controller and the other end vacant. The other two signal lines are respectively
connected to terminal15 and terminal16. At full speed, output voltage range is
(1~24) VAC (RMS), 12VAC is recommended (rated speed). During installing,
make the speed sensor contact the flywheel firstly, then pour out 1/3 laps, finally
lock nut on the sensor.
3) Output And Expansion Relay
All the outputs of controller are relay output. If need to expand relay, please add
freewheeling diode in both ends of relay coil (when expansion relay coil links DC),
or add RC loop (when expansion relay coil links AC), in case controller or other
equipments are interfered.
4) AC Input
HGM6100U series controller must externally connect to current transformer; CT
secondary current must be 5A. Besides, the phase of CT and input voltage must
be correct, or the sampling current and active power may be incorrect.
