1. Summary
HGM1780 Series is genset automatic starts controller, which has 3 working
modes for choose by panel button pressing. It can control genset start/stop by
manual or remote control signal. As well as auto disconnect fuel relays and stop
when controller detected faults (such as low oil pressure, water/cylinder
temperature, emergency stop alarm, and over speed). LCD in panel shows faults
status and authentic active alarm signals.

4.4. Display description

Controller has 3 working modes, Stop ( ), Manual start ( ), Automatic ( ).

Manual start ( )

This mode is activated by pressing the ( ) (after one second to loosen), LED
indicator beside the button confirms this action and is illuminating. Pre-heating is
outputting first, and start pre-hearting delay meanwhile. Oil output is starting
before 1 second of delay is over. After 1 second of oil output, pre-hearting
output is disconnected and starter is power on and output, then engine is
cranking. When gens frequency is over than pre-setting of successful start,
started is power off and genset starts is successfully and enters into safety delay.
When delay is over then enters into idle delay. After it is also over, idle delay is
close and genset starts in high speed running.

Automatic ( )

♦ This mode is activated by pressing the ( ) (after one second to loosen), LED
indicator beside the button confirms this action and is illuminating. When
remote start signal is active (remote start terminal is connected with B-),
genset will start automatic after start delay. Pre-heating is outputting first, and
start pre-hearting delay meanwhile. Oil output is starting before 1 second of
delay is over. After 1 second of oil output, pre-hearting output is disconnected
and starter is power on and output (genset will start according to setting start
attempts. If start during attempts successfully, start is finished; if each start of
attempts failed, start failed alarm will be sent and start failed LED in panel is
illuminating and common alarm indicator is flashing), enters into safety delay.
When delay is over then enters into idle delay. After it is also over, idle delay is
close and genset starts in high speed running.
Note:
In the interval of start attempts, fuel output is disconnecting. After 3 sec. of
starting interval delay, pre-heating and ETS is outputting. After starting
interval delay is over, ETS outputting is disconnecting and oil output. The
pre-heating output is disconnected before starting.
♦ When remote start signal inputting is inactive; genset enters into idle after stop
delay. The idle relay has disconnected and oil relay is also disconnected after
idle delay is over. ETS is outputting and genset will stop automatic. When
genset is steady stopped, ETS is disconnected.

HGM1780 Auto generator module ISSUE 2011-06-16 Version1.4 Page 8 of 19

 HGM1780 AUTOMATIC GENERATOR MODULE

Stop ( ),

♦ During genset in normal running (Manual or Auto mode), this mode is activated
by pressing the ( ) (after one second to loosen). LED indicator beside the
button confirms this action and is illuminating and genset enters into idle delay
process. The idle delay is open and after it is over, oil output is open, ETS
output, genset stop. When genset is steady stopped, ETS is disconnected.
♦ When genset has fault alarm, pressing this key (after one second to loosen)
can remove it. If over one second, all LED indicators of panel will illuminate (this
is LED test).
♦ When genset in standby mode, press this key at least 1 second, ETS is
outputting and all lamps in panel are illuminating (respond to lamp test function).
After loosen Stop button, ETS outputting is closed immediately and meanwhile,
the Lamp Test is over.
♦ When genset in stop mode, controller only responds to signal of emergency
stop.
Note: the programmable output ports can be set as anyone among in “ETS
output”, “idle output” or “Pre-heat output” via PC. Therefore, those 3 functions
couldn‟t activate simultaneously. All above description just means the procedure
of controller‟s logic action and suppose the 3 functions were active.
5. Protection
a) LOW OIL PRESSURE, controller will start to detect after safety delay is over
and alarm shutdown before 2 seconds.
b) HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE, controller will start to detect after safety
delay is over and alarm shutdown before 3 seconds.
c) LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING, when the fuel level is continuously
10seconds and lower than the setting value, controller will send signal of
lower fuel level. This value is only warning and not shutdown.
d) OVERSPEED, start detecting while switching on, alarm shutdown before 2
seconds.
e) UNDERSPEED, start detecting after idle delay is over. Alarm of under speed
is send to shutdown before 15 seconds.
f) START FAILED, if the start attempt of setting is over and starts failed, alarm

HGM1780 Auto generator module ISSUE 2011-06-16 Version1.4 Page 9 of 19

 HGM1780 AUTOMATIC GENERATOR MODULE

to shutdown.
g) STOP FAILED, after the stop delay is over, if genset not steady stop, stop
failed warning will be send, but this value not lock and save.
h) HIGH BATTERY VOLTAGE, when battery voltage keeps on being higher
than to preset 20 seconds, high battery voltage warning signal will be send but
not shutdown.
i) LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE, When battery voltage keeps on being lower than
to preset 20 seconds, low battery voltage warning signal will be sending but
not shutdown.
j) EMERGENCY STOP, when emergency stop input is active, ETS immediately
output, cut off signals of oil, pre-heating and start. Emergency stop alarm
signal will be sending.
k) GENS OVER VOLTAGE, when the sample electric voltage is continuously
higher than to preset five seconds, gens voltage over signal will be sending,
alarm to shutdown in the meantime.
l) GENS UNDER VOLTAGE, when the sample electric voltage is continuously
lower than to preset five seconds, gens voltage low signal will be sending,
alarm to shutdown in the meantime.
m) LOADING OVER CURRENT, when loading current is over than pre-setting
and continuously to the limited setting delay, over current alarm signal will be
sending, means “A” is flashing.
n) COMMON ALARM, when there is over speed, low speed, high engine
temperature, low oil pressure，emergency stop, start failed, stop failed, battery
voltage is high or low, and loading current over, common alarm LED is
flashing and common alarm output.

2) Each setting value must within its allowed range or, parameters couldn‟t be
changed.
3) Overtop voltage threshold value must greater than over-low threshold value;
otherwise, there is situation that overtop as well as over-low occupy meanwhile.
4) Overtop speed threshold value must greater than over-low threshold value;
otherwise, there is situation that overtop as well as over-low occupy meanwhile.
5) Please set genset frequency value as low as possible when start successful, in
order to make the starter be separated quickly as soon as start successfully.
6) The series number of setting item, please refer to the series number of form
one.
7) When fuel level sensor is setting, programmable input port type should be set as
zero first, then, continued.

*Remark1: during setting period, press can immediately stop current setting

in anytime.
*Remark2: when genset in Manual mode, conditions of crank have, 2 magnetic
sensors+ Gens or 5 Gens+ magnetic sensor+ oil pressure, and while gens'
frequency and speed is not 0, press and buttons simultaneously (at
least 0.5 second), controller will adjust alternator's tooth number automatic
according to gens' frequency and alternator's poles.
