4.1 PUSHBUTTONS
Manual Pressing this key will set the module into manual mode.
Auto Pressing this key will set the module into auto mode.
Auto mode is selected by pressing the button; a LED besides the button will illuminate to confirm the
operation.
Auto Start Sequence,
1) HGM420N: when mains is abnormal (over/under voltage, loss of phase), enter into “Mains Abnormal
Delay” and LCD displays count down time. “Start Delay” timer is initiated after the delay has expired.
2) HGM410N: When “Remote Start” is active, “Start Delay” timer is initiated;
3) “Start Delay” countdown will be displayed on LCD;
4) When start delay is over, preheat relay energizes (if configured), “preheat delay XXs” information will
be displayed on LCD;
5) After the above delay, the Fuel Relay is energized, and then one second later, the Start Relay is
engaged. The engine is cranked for a pre-set time. If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt
then the fuel relay and start relay are disengaged for the pre-set rest period; “crank rest time” begins
and wait for the next crank attempt.
6) This start sequence should continue beyond the set number of attempts, the start sequence will be
terminated, the fifth line of LCD display will be highlighted with black and Fail to Start fault will be
displayed.
7) In case of successful crank attempt, the “Safety On” timer is activated, allowing Low Oil Pressure, High
Temperature, Under speed, Charge Alternator Failure and Auxiliary inputs (configured) to stabilise
without triggering the fault. 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 is initiated (if configured).
9) After the “warming up” delay, if generator status is normal, its indicator will be illuminated. If generator
voltage and frequency have reached on-load requirements, then the generator close relay will be
energized; genset will take load; generator power indicator will illuminate and generator will enter into
Normal Running status. If voltage or frequency is abnormal, the controller will initiate shutdown alarm
(alarm information will be displayed on LCD).
Auto Stop Sequence,
1) HGM420N: During normal running process, if mains normal, enters into “Mains Normal Delay”. When
mains indicator illuminates, “Stop Delay” is initiated.
2) HGM410N: When the “Remote Start” signal is removed, the Stop Delay is initiated.
3) Once this “stop delay” has expired, the Generator Breaker will open and the “Cooling Delay” is then
initiated. After “Transfer Delay”, the mains close relay will be energized; mains will take load; generator
power indicator will extinguish while mains power indicator will illuminate.
4) During “Stop Idle” Delay (if configured), idle relay is energized.
5) “ETS Solenoid Hold” begins, ETS relay is energized while fuel relay is de-energized.
6) "Fail to Stop Delay" begins, complete stop is detected automatically.
7) Generator is placed into its standby mode after its complete stop. Otherwise, fail to stop alarm is
initiated and the corresponding alarm information is displayed on LCD.
1) HGM420N: Manual mode is selected by pressing the button; a LED besides the button will
illuminate to confirm the operation. In this mode, press button to start the genset, it can
automatically judge crank success and accelerate to high speed running. If high temperature, low oil
pressure, over speed and abnormal voltage occur during genset running, controller can effectively
protect genset to stop (detail procedures please refer to No.4~9 of Auto start sequence). In Manual
Mode, load switch won’t auto-switch. It needs to press to enter close/open interface, it controls
mains switch to close/open by pressing and controls gen switch to close/open by pressing .
2) HGM410N: Manual mode is selected by pressing the button; the LED besides the button will
illuminate to confirm the operation and the genset start. It can automatically judge crank success and
accelerate to high speed running. If high temperature, low oil pressure, over speed and abnormal
voltage occur during genset running, controller can effectively protect genset to stop (detail procedures
please refer to No.4~9 of Auto start sequence). After genset high speed normal running, It needs to
press to enter close/open interface, it controls mains switch to close by pressing and controls
3) Manual stop: pressing key can stop the running genset. (detail procedures please refer to No.3~7
In manual mode, pressing and can compel genset to start. The controller won’t judge whether
the controller has started successfully according to disconnect conditions and the disconnection of starter
needs to control by operators. When operators observed the genset has started successfully, loose the
keys and the controller enter safety delay with start stops to output.

1) There are 3 conditions to make starter separate with engine; magnetic pickup, generator frequency
can be used separately while oil pressure must be used together with magnetic pickup and generator
frequency. The aim is to disconnect the starter motor as soon as possible.
2) Magnetic pickup is the magnetic equipment which be installed in starter for detecting flywheel teeth.
3) When set as magnetic pickup, 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 magnetic pickup, 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 frequency in crank disconnect setting, controller will not collect and display the
relative power quantity (can be used in water pump set); if not select magnetic pickup in crank
disconnect setting, the engine speed displayed in controller is calculated by generator signal.
Start the controller, then press to enter into the parameters setting menu as below:
1. Set Parameters
2. Information
3. Language
4. Event Log
5. Maintenance Setting
a) Parameters Setting
“0318” can set all items in 7.1 during inputting password. When default password has been
changed, it needs to input the same password with controller for parameter setting via PC software.
If more parameter items need to be set or password is forgotten, such as voltage and current
calibration, please contact with the factory.
Note:
1) HGM410N, there are not items 1-5 in 7.1; programmable output 1-4 have no digital outputs about
mains.
2) Please modify the parameters in standby mode (crank conditions, auxiliary input and output
configuration, multi delays, etc.) otherwise shutdown alarm or other abnormal conditions may
appear.
3) The over-voltage threshold must be greater than the under-voltage threshold; otherwise
over-voltage and under-voltage will occur at the same time.
4) The over-speed threshold must be greater than under-speed threshold, otherwise over speed and
under speed will occur at the same time.
5) Set frequency value (after crank disconnect) as low as possible, in order to disconnect starter
quickly.
6) Programmable input 1-4 cannot be set as the same items, otherwise it cannot realize correct
function; programmable output 1-5 can be set as the same item.
7) Digital input 3 can be configured as Fuel Level Sensor. Digital input 4 can be configured as
Temperature Sensor, Oil Pressure Sensor and Water Level Sensor. Digital input and sensor need
to be picked one: if input is chosen, the corresponding digital input parameter is active and the
sensor parameter inactive but saved; otherwise if sensor is chosen, the corresponding sensor
parameter is active and the digital input parameter is inactive but saved.
8) If need to shut down after cooling, please set any input as “ stop after cooling “, then connect this
input to ground; or set high temperature stop action as “cooling stop”
b) Information
LCD will display some information of controller, such as software version, hardware version, issue date.
Note: Pressing will display the status of digital inputs and outputs.
c) LCD contract
Press and (or and ) can adjust LCD contract. Adjustment range is 0-7.
d) Language
User may select display language as Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian, Turkey and French.
e) Event Log
Users can check event log (max. 99) on this interface including start/stop info and shutdown alarms.
f) Maintenance Setting
The default password (when enter maintenance setting) is 0 (it needs to contact sales or after sale
personnel to change the password). It’ll refresh maintenance time after entered maintenance setting.
Remark: It will enter into the next maintenance period after refreshing the time in the maintenance
9 SENSOR SETTING
1) When reselect sensors, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard value. For example, if
temperature sensor is SGH (120°C resistor type), its sensor curve is SGH (120°C resistor type); if
select the SGD (120°C resistor type), the temperature sensor curve is SGD curve.
2) If there is difference between standard sensor curve and chosen sensor curve, select “defined
sensor”, and then input defined sensor curve.
3) When input the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be input from small to large, otherwise,
mistake occurs.
4) If there is no oil pressure sensor, but there is low oil pressure alarm switch, user must set the oil
pressure sensor as “None”, otherwise, maybe low oil pressure shutdown occurs.
5) The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as same as below,
N/m2
