3.4. AUTO START/STOP OPERATION

Auto mode is selected by pressing button, and the LED indicator beside the button will light

up to confirm the operation.

Automatic Start Sequence:
1) When “Remote Start” is active (Input terminal configuration is “Remote Start”), “Start Delay”
timer is initiated, then the status on LCD screen will be “Start Delay” countdown;
2) When start delay is over, preheat relay energizes (if configured), “Preheat Delay” starts to count,
then the status on LCD screen will be “Preheat Delay XXs”.
3) After the preheat delay, the Fuel Relay is energized, and one second later, the Start Relay is
engaged. If the genset fails to fire during “Cranking Time”, then the fuel relay and start relay stop
to output; “Crank Rest Time” begins and wait for the next cranking attempt.
4) After setup number of cranking attempts, if genset fails to start, the start sequence will be
terminated, and “Fail to Start” alarm will be displayed on LCD screen, and meanwhile alarm
indicator light is blinking.
5) In case of successful crank attempt, the “Safety On” timer is activated, Low Oil Pressure, High
Temperature and other alarms are inactive during the period. As soon as this delay is over,
“Start Idle” delay is initiated (if configured).
6) 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).
7) When “Warming up” delay is over, if power generation runs normal, the power generation
indicator will light up. When generator voltage and frequency meet load requirement, the
generation switch-on relay will output, then genset start to load and power supply indicator
lights up, which means genset starts normal running; if generator voltage or frequency is
abnormal, shutdown alarm signals will be sent by the controller (alarm page on LCD screen will
show power generation alarm).
Automatic Stop Sequence:
1) When the “Remote Start” signal doesn’t work, “Stop Delay” is initiated;
2) Once this “Stop Delay” has expired, the “Cooling Delay” is then initiated.;
3) During “Stop Idle” Delay (if configured), idle relay is energized;
4) When “ETS Delay” begins, ETS relay switches on while fuel relay switches off.;

HGM1791_HGM1791CAN Genset Controller User Manual Page 10 of 41

5) When genset enters “Wait Stop Time”, it automatically detects whether genset stops
completely;
6) Genset enters standby status after it stops completely. Otherwise, the controller enters stop
failure and issues “Stop Failure” warning.
NOTE:
a) When press stop button in auto start status, genset will stop and enter into stop mode simultaneously.
b) In process of crank rest delay, ETS output is energized when fuel output is de-energized and crank rest
time countdown is less than 7s. After crank rest delay, ETS output is de-energized, fuel relay starts
output, and preheat output switches off before crank.

3.5. MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION

1) MANUAL START: Press button to start the genset (Please refer to No.2~7 of Automatic
Start Sequence for detail procedures). With high temperature, low oil pressure, over speed
and abnormal voltage during generator running, controller can protect genset to stop quickly.

2) MANUAL STOP: Press button can shut down the running genset. (Please refer to No.2~6
of Automatic Stop Sequence for detail procedures).

3) When set as speed, 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 speed sensor 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 electric quantity (can be used in water pump set); if not select speed in crank

9 COMMISSIONING

Please make sure the following checks are made before commissioning;
a) Ensure all the connections are correct and wires diameter is suitable;
b) Ensure that the controller DC power has fuse, controller’s positive and negative correctly
connected to starting battery;
c) Take proper action to prevent engine to crank success (e. g. Remove the connection wire of fuel
valve). If checking is OK, make the starting battery power on; choose manual mode and
controller will executive routine;
d) Set controller under manual mode, press “start” button, genset will start. After the cranking
times as setting, controller will send signal of Start Failure; then press “stop” to reset controller;
e) Recover the action to prevent engine to crank success (e. g. Connect wire of fuel valve), press
start button again, genset will start. If everything goes well, genset will normal running after idle
running (if idle run be set). During this time, please watch for engine’s running situations and AC
generator’s voltage and frequency. If abnormal, stop genset and check all wires connection
according to this manual;
