4.3 AUTOMATIC START/STOP OPERATION
Press and the indicator beside it is illuminated, which means genset is in auto start mode.
Auto Start Sequence:
1) HGM420N: when mains is abnormal (over/under voltage, loss of phase), genset enters into “Mains
Abnormal Delay” and LCD displays countdown 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 is energized (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. If the genset fails to fire during “Cranking Time”, then the fuel relay and start relay are
disengaged for the pre-set rest period; “Crank Rest Time” begins and genset will 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, low oil pressure, high
temperature, under speed, charge alternator failure and auxiliary input alarms (configured) are inactive.
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 becomes normal, controller enters into “Mains
Normal Delay”. When mains indicator illuminates, “Stop Delay” is initiated.
2) HGM410N: When the “Remote Start” signal is inactive, 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.

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 (for detail procedures please refer to No.4~9 of auto start sequence). In Manual
Mode, load switch won’t auto-transfer. It needs to press to enter close/open interface, and 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 beside the button will
illuminate to confirm the operation and 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 (for 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, and it controls mains switch to close by pressing
and controls gen switch to open by pressing (gen is on load).
3) Manual stop: pressing key can stop the running genset. (For detail procedures please refer to

No.3~7 of auto stop sequence.)
4.5 EMERGENCY START
In manual mode, pressing and simultaneously 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 is controlled by operators. When operators observe the genset has started
successfully, he/she will release the keys and the controller enters safety delay, and start is stopped to
output.

1) There are 3 conditions to make starter separated with engine; magnetic pickup, generator frequency
and oil pressure, which can be used separately, but oil pressure is suggested to 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 installed in starter for detecting flywheel teeth.
3) When magnetic pickup is selected, please ensure the number of flywheel teeth is the 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” may be caused.
5) If genset without oil pressure sensor, please don’t select corresponding items.
6) If generator frequency is not selected in crank disconnect settings, controller will not collect and
display the relative power quantity (can be used in water pump set); if magnetic pickup is not selected
in crank disconnect setting, the engine speed displayed in controller is calculated by generator signal.

8 PARAMETER SETTING
8.1 PARAMETER SETTING
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
Password “0318” can allow to set all items in Table 7 during inputting password. When default
password (0318) is changed, it needs to input the same password as controller for parameter setting
via PC software. If more parameter items are needed to set or password is forgotten, such as voltage
and current calibration, please contact with the factory.
NOTES:
1) HGM410N doesn't have items 1-5 in Table 7; programmable outputs 1-4 don't have 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 may occur at the same time.
4) The over-speed threshold must be greater than under-speed threshold, otherwise over speed and under speed may
occur at the same time.
5) Set frequency value (after crank disconnect) as low as possible, in order to disconnect starter quickly.
6) Digital inputs 1-4 cannot be set to the same items, otherwise it cannot realize correct function; programmable
outputs 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 can be selected for any one: if input
configuration is chosen, the corresponding digital input parameter is active and the sensor parameter is inactive
but saved; on the contrary, if sensor is chosen, the corresponding sensor parameter is active and the digital input
parameter is inactive but saved.
8) If it needs to shut down after cooling, please set any input as “stop after cooling” item, then connect this input to
ground; or set high temperature stop action as “cooling stop”.

8.4 EVENT LOG
Users can check event log (max. 99) on this interface, including start/stop info and shutdown alarms.
8.5 MAINTENANCE SETTING
Password is needed for entering maintenance setting. Factory password is 0 (it can be changed, and
you need to contact salesman or after-sales person). After entering setting maintenance parameters
will refresh the maintenance time.
NOTE: It will enter into the next maintenance period after maintenance time due alarm and refreshing the time in the
maintenance setting interface.

9 SENSOR SETTING
1) When users 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 users 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 users input the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be inputted from small to large,
otherwise, mistake occurs.
4) If there is not oil pressure sensor, but there is low oil pressure alarm switch, users 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 the same as below.

10 COMMISSIONING
Before formal running of system, the following checks are suggested to do.
1) Check and ensure all the connections are correct and wires diameter is suitable.
2) Ensure that the controller DC power has fuse; battery positive and negative are correctly
connected.
3) Emergence stop input must be connected to positive of starting battery via normally close contact
of emergency stop and fuse.
4) Take proper actions to prevent engine to disconnect crank (e. g. Remove the connections of fuel
valve). If nothing unusual is found, connect start battery, select Manual Mode, controller will
execute the program.
5) Set controller as Manual Mode, press “start” button to start genset. If genset goes beyond the
setting crank times, controller will send “Failed to Start” signal; then press “stop” to reset
controller.
6) Recover action of preventing engine to disconnect crank (e. g. Connect wire of fuel valve), press
“start” button again, genset will start. If everything goes well, genset will goes to normal running
after idle running (if configured). During this period, observe engine’s running situation and voltage
and frequency of alternator. If something abnormal occurs, stop genset and check all connections
according to this manual.
7) Select the Auto Mode from front panel, and connect with mains signal. After the mains normal
delay, controller will transfer ATS (if configured) into mains load. After cooling, controller will stop
genset and go into standby state until mains abnormal occurs again.
8) When mains abnormal occurs again, genset will start automatically and go into normal running,
send signal to make gens close, transfer ATS and make genset take load. If it is not likes this,
please check connections of ATS according to this manual.
9) If there are any other questions, please contact SmartGen’s service.

NOTE: It is suggested to expand relay with high capacity for start and fuel outputs.

12 INSTALLATION
12.1 FIXING CLIPS
1) The module is designed for panel installation, and fixed by fixing clips.
2) Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until it reaches proper position.
3) Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the module) ensuring two clips are inside their
allotted slots.
4) Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they make contact with the panel.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to over tighten the screws of fixing clips.
12.2 OVERALL DIMENSION AND PANEL CUTOUT
Fig.8 Case Dimension and Cutout Size
HGM400N series controller can suit for widely range of battery voltage DC(8~35)V. Negative of battery
must be connected with the engine shell. The diameter of wire from power supply to battery must be
over 2.5mm2. If floating charger is configured, please firstly connect output wires of charger to
battery’s positive and negative directly, then, connect wires from battery’s positive and negative to
controller’s positive and negative input ports in order to prevent charger disturbing the controller’s
normal working.
1) Speed Sensor Input
Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment installed in starter and for detecting flywheel teeth. Its
connection wires to controller should apply 2 cores shielding line. The shielding layer should connect to
No. 17 terminal in controller while another side is hanging in air. The other two signal wires are
connected to No.1 and No.17 terminals in controller. The output voltage of speed sensor should be
within AC(1~24)V (effective value) during the full speed. AC12V is recommended (in rated speed).
When the speed sensor is installed, let the sensor is spun to contacting flywheel first, then, port out 1/3
lap, and lock the nuts of sensor at last.
2) Output and Expansion Relay
All outputs of controller are relay contact output type. If it needs to expand the relays, please add
freewheel diode to both ends of expand relay’s coils (when coils of relay have DC current) or, add
resistance-capacitance return circuit (when coils of relay have AC current), in order to prevent
disturbance for controller or other equipment.

3) AC Input
HGM400N series controller must be connected to outside 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 not
correct.
NOTE:
a) ICOM port must be connected to negative pole of battery.

b) When there is load current, transformer’s secondary side is prohibited to open circuit.
4) Withstand Voltage Test
When controller has been installed on control panel, if it needs to do the high voltage test, please
disconnect controller’s all terminal connections, in order to prevent high voltage entering controller and
damaging it.
