Automatic Start Sequence:
1. When “Remote Start” is active, “Start Delay” timer is initiated;
2. “Start Delay” countdown will be displayed on LCD;
3. When start delay is over, preheat relay energizes (if configured), “preheat delay XX s” information
will be displayed on LCD;
4. After the above delay, the Fuel Relay (if configured) 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.
5. Should this start sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts, the start sequence will be
terminated, the first line of LCD display will be highlighted with black and Fail to Start fault will be
displayed.
6. In case of successful crank attempt, the “Safety On” timer is activated, allowing Low Oil Pressure,
High Temperature, Under speed and Charge Alternator Failure inputs to stabilise without triggering
the fault. As soon as this delay is over, “start idle” delay is initiated (if configured).
7. 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).
8. In the case of a single generator system, 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).
9. In case of running in parallel, after the warming up delay:
a) If bus has no voltage, then the controller will send a closing signal to other waiting parallel gensets
and generator close relay will activate, this prevents other sets in the system from attempting to
close their own breakers at the same time.
b) If bus has voltage or other gensets are already closed, the controller will adjust speed and voltage
through GOV and AVR to synchronize the gensets to the bus; when synchronism requirements has
been achieved, breaker close signal will be initiated and the genset will be paralleled with the bus.
Once they are paralleled, the controller will control the generator to gradually accelerate and share
load with other paralleled gensets.
Note: When started via “Remote Start (off Load)” input, same procedures as above but generator
close relay deactivated, moreover, genset off load. When started via “Remote Start (Demand)” input,the
genset will start, synchronization, parallel and load sharing automatically according to the pre-set priority
order.
Automatic Stop Sequence,
1) When the “Remote Start” signal is removed, the Stop Delay is initiated.
2) Once this “stop delay” has expired, the module will ramp the load from the generator to remaining
set. The Generator Breaker will open and the “Cooling Delay” is then initiated. Should the Remote
Start signal be re-activated during the cooling down period, the set will return parallel status. Once
the “Cooling Delay” expires, the “Stop Idle” delay is initiated.
3) During “Stop Idle” Delay (if configured), idle relay is energized.
4) “ETS Solenoid Hold” begins, ETS relay is energized while fuel relay is de-energized, complete stop
is detected automatically.
5) "Fail to Stop Delay" begins, complete stop is detected automatically.
6) When generator is stop completely, “After stop” delay will be initiated. Otherwise, fail to stop alarm is
initiated and the corresponding alarm information is displayed on LCD. ( If generator is stop
successfully after “fail to stop” alarm has initiated, “After stop” delay will be initiated and the alarm
will be removed)
7) Generator is placed into its standby mode after its “After stop” delay.
1. Manual mode is selected by pressing the button; a LED besides the button will illuminate to
confirm the operation; then press button to start the gen-set; can detect crank disconnect
condition and generator accelerates to high-speed running automatically. With high temperature,
low oil pressure, over speed and abnormal voltage during generator running, controller can protect
genset to stop quickly (please refer to No.3~9 of Automatic Start Sequence for detail procedures).
2. MANUAL STOP: Press can shuts down the running generators. (Please refer to No.2~7 of
NOTE: In “manual mode”, the procedures of ATS please refer to Switch Control Procedure of
generator in this manual.
5.6 SWITCH CONTROL PROCEDURES
Closing Operation:During genset normal running, press if generator voltage and frequency have
reached on-load requirements
1) In case of single unit running, generator closing relay outputs;
2) In case of running in parallel:
a) If bus has no voltage, then the controller will send a closing signal to other waiting parallel gensets
and generator close relay will activate, this prevents other sets in the system from attempting to
close their own breakers at the same time.
b) If bus has voltage or other gensets are already closed, the controller will adjust speed and voltage
through GOV and AVR to synchronize the gensets to the bus; when synchronism requirements has
been achieved, breaker close signal will be initiated and the genset will be paralleled to the bus.
Once they are paralleled, the controller will control the generator to gradually accelerate and share
load with other paralleled gensets.
Opening operation:Press ,
1) In case of single unit running, the controller sends open breaker signal.
2) During parallel operation, if button is pressed, first of all, the controller will transfer load to
other generators, and only then send an opening signal.
Note: The auxiliary close input should be configured necessarily and make sure the connection is
correct.
NOTE: USB ports in controller rear panel are configurable parameter ports, user can directly
NOTE: Please refer to the Modules Comparison in this manual for more products’ functions.
Note:overcurrent setting details about definite time delay and inverse definite minimum time.
Definite Time:overcurrent delay is definite time delay. Different overcurrent value has corresponding
delay.
Inverse Definite Minimum Time(IDMT):overcurrent delay decrease with the increase of overcurrent.
Different overcurrent value has corresponding delay.
IDMT formula:
T = t / ((IA/IT)-1)2
T:Overcurrent delay (second)
t:Timing multiplier ratio
IA:Current max. load current(L1/L2/L3)
IT:Overcurrent setting value
Example:
t = 36
IA = 550A
IT =500A
Conclusion: T = 3600s(1hour)
NOTE: User should make special declare when order controller if your genset equip with sensor of
4~20mA.
NOTE:
a. There are 3 conditions to make starter disconnected with engine, that is, speed sensor, generator
frequency and engine oil pressure. They all can be used separately. We recommend that engine oil
pressure should be using with speed sensor and generator frequency together, in order to make the
starter motor is separated with engine immediately and can check crank disconnect exactly.
b. Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment which be installed in starter for detecting flywheel teeth.
c. When set as speed sensor, must ensure that the number of flywheel teeth is as same as setting,
otherwise, “over speed stop” or “under speed stop” may be caused.
d. If genset without speed sensor, please don’t select corresponding items, otherwise, “start fail” or “loss
speed signal” maybe caused.
e. If genset without oil pressure sensor, please don’t select corresponding items.
f. 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 speed sensor in crank
disconnect setting, the rotating speed displayed in controller is calculated by generator frequency and
number of poles.
CAUTION: Please change the controller parameters when generator is in standby mode only (e.
g. Start conditions selection, configurable input, configurable output, various delay), otherwise,
alarming to stop and other abnormal conditions may happen.
NOTE: Maximum set value must over minimum set value in case that the condition of too high
as well as too low will happen.
NOTE: When setting the warning alarm, please set the correct return value; otherwise, maybe
there is abnormal alarm. When setting the maximum value, the return value must less than setting;
when setting the minimum value, the return value must over setting.
NOTE: Please set the generator frequency value as low as possible when cranking, in order to
make the starter be separated quickly as soon as crank disconnect.
NOTE: Configurable input could not be set as same items; otherwise, there are abnormal
functions. However, the configurable output can be set as same items.
10 SENSORS SETTING
When reselect sensors, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard value. For example, if
temperature sensor is sgx (120°c resistor type), its sensor curve is sgx (120°c resistor type); if select the
sgd (120°c resistor type), the temperature sensor curve is sgd curve.
When there is difference between standard sensor curves and using sensor, user can adjust it in “curve
type”.
When input the sensor curve, x value (resistor) must be input from small to large, otherwise, mistake
occurs.
If select sensor type is set as “none”, sensor curve is not working.
If corresponding sensor has alarm switch only, user must set this sensor as “none”, otherwise, maybe
there is shutdown or warning.
The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as same as below,
Note: Please refer to HGM6500 Synchronization Plan List for more information on GOV and
AVR settings.
11.2 STEP 2: MANUAL PARALLEL OPERATION OFF-LOAD
1) Manually close parallel sets, check that the units synchronization is balanced and breaker close
impulse current is not too high;
2) During parallel operation off load, check that there is no high circumfluence on HGM9530 current
screen;
3) During parallel operation off load, check if the output of active and reactive power is equal to zero; if
it is not, then check if there is power oscillation; if there is, adjust the gain and stability values of
HGM9530 controller, or adjust engine GOV or generator AVR gain and stability potentiometer to
avoid active and reactive power oscillation; output close to 0.
11.3 STEP 3: MANUAL PARALLEL OPERATION ON-LOAD
1) During manual parallel, perform on-load test and check if active and reactive power is evenly
distributed between all the gensets;
2) During manual parallel, perform ramp on-load test to see if there is high overshoot or power
oscillation during this period; if there is, regulate Load Ramp via PC software;
3) During manual parallel, perform ramp off-load test to see if gen-set breaker opens after reaching
minimum set value (%);
4) During manual parallel, perform impact load test and damp load test to check if there is power
oscillation.
Note: Fuse F1:min. 2A; max. 20A. Fuse F2:max. 32A. Users should select suitable fuse
depend on practical application.
3 Phase 3 Wire
2 Phase 3 Wire
Note: Mains parallel function for HGM9530 controller can be selected via configurable input port.
In mains parallel mode, generator will run in parallel with mains and it will only be able to output a
fixed amount of power. (Set load mode as Gen control mode).
Note: HGM9530 can be connected with multiple expansion modules via ECU CANBUS port and it
can expand 4 expansion modules most: 1 DOUT16 module, 1 DIN16 module, 2 AIN24 modules.
AIN24 is analog input module concluding 14# K-type thermocouple input, 5# PT100 resistance input and
5# 4-20mA current input.
Manual Trip
If NEL manual trip input is active (earthed failing edge is active), NEL1 will trip without delay; If NEL
manual trip input is active again, NEL2 will trip; If NEL manual trip input is active the third time, NEL3 will
trip. During this process, the controller do not detect if the genset power has exceed the NEL trip value or
not.
If NEL manual reconnection input is active (earthed failing edge is active), NEL3 will reconnect without
delay; If NEL manual reconnection input is active again, NEL2 will reconnect; If NEL manual
reconnection input is active the third time, NEL1 will reconnect. During this process, the controller
detects the genset power: if the genset power has fallen below the NEL reconnection value, then the
input is active; if it doesn’t, the input is deactivated.
Note: When auto trip and auto reconnection are enabled, manual trip is still active.
Controller is panel built-in design; it is fixed by clips when installed. The controller’s overall dimensions
and cutout dimensions for panel, please refers to as following,
