No. Set Contents


0 Speed
1 Gen frequency
2 Speed + Gen frequency
3 Speed +Oil pressure
4 Gen frequency + Oil pressure
5 Speed + Gen frequency + Oil pressure
6 Oil pressure
NOTES:
1) There are 3 conditions to make starter separate with engine; speed, generator frequency and oil pressure. All can be
used separately. It is suggested that oil pressure shall be used together with speed and generator frequency. The aim
is to disconnect the starter motor as soon as possible.
2) Speed stands for the real rotation speed detected by the speed sensor. Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment
which is installed in the starter for detecting flywheel teeth.
3) When speed is chosen, make sure that the number of flywheel teeth is the same as the set value, otherwise, “over
speed shutdown” or “under speed shutdown” may be caused.
4) If genset is without speed sensor, please don’t select corresponding items, otherwise, “start fail” or “loss speed signal”
maybe caused.
5) If genset is without oil pressure sensor, please don’t select corresponding items.
6) If generator frequency is not chosen in crank disconnection setting, the controller will not collect and display the
relative power quantity (can be used in water pump set); if speed is not chosen in crank disconnection setting, the
engine speed displayed is converted by generator frequency and generator poles.

9 SENSOR SETTING

─ If a sensor is needed to be changed again, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard
value. For example, if the default temperature sensor is SGH (120°C resistor type), the sensor
curve is SGH curve (120°C resistor type); if it is set SGD (120°C resistor type), the temperature
sensor curve is SGD curve.
─ If there is difference between standard sensor curve and the used sensor, users can choose
“defined sensor”, and input “defined sensor curve”.
─ At the time of inputting the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be inputted from small to large,
otherwise, any mistake may occur.
─ If there is not an oil pressure sensor, and there is only a low oil pressure alarm switch, then the
pressure sensor must be set “None”, otherwise, low oil pressure shutdown alarm may occur.
─ It is applicable to set the headmost and backmost values in the vertical coordinate as the same
as the Figure 3.

10 COMMISSIONING

Please make sure the following checks are made before commissioning:
— Check and make sure that all connections are correct and wire diameter is suitable.
— Check and make sure that the controller DC power has fuse, and controller’s positive and negative
connections with the start battery are correct.
— Check and make sure that emergency stop input is connected to the positive pole of starter battery
via emergency stop button’s normally closed point and fuse.
— Take proper action to prevent engine to crank successfully (e. g. remove the connecting wire of the
fuel valve). If everything is correct, connect power with the start battery; choose manual mode and the
controller will executive the routine.
— Set the controller under manual mode; press “start” button, and the genset will start. After the set
cranking times, the controller will send Start Failure signal, and then press “stop” to reset the controller.
— Recover the action to prevent engine to crank successfully (e. g. connect the wire of the fuel valve).
Press start button again, the genset will start. If everything goes well, the genset will go to normally
running after idling speed running (if configured). During this time, please observe engine’s running
situation and AC generator’s voltage and frequency. If there is something abnormal, stop the genset and
check all wire connections according to this manual.
— Select the AUTO mode on controller’s panel, and make the remote start input active. The engine
shall enter normal running status automatically and then sends Gen close signal to control ATS to
transfer to genset loading. If this is not the case, please refer to this manual and check ATS control wire
connections.
— If there is any other question, please contact SmartGen’s service as soon as possible.

teeth. The connection wires with controller should apply 2-core shielding line. The shielding layer should
be connected to No. 15 terminal in the controller and another side is hanging in the air. The else two
signal wires are connected to No.16 and No.17 terminals. The output voltage of speed sensor should be
within AC (1~24)V (RMS) during the full speed range. AC12V is recommended (at rated speed). When
speed sensor is installed, let the sensor spun to contacting flywheel first, then, port out 1/3 lap, and lock
the nuts of sensor at last.
— OUTPUT AND EXPAND RELAYS
All controller outputs are relay contact output type. If expansion relay is needed, please add
freewheel diode to both ends of expansion relay’s coils (when relay coils have DC current) or, increase
resistance-capacitance circuit (when relay coils have AC current), in order to prevent disturbance to the
controller or other equipment.
— AC INPUT
Current input of HGM4100LT controller must be connected to external current transformer. And the
current transformer’s secondary side current must be 5A. At the same time, the phases of current
transformer and input voltage must be correct. Otherwise, the collected current and active power may be
