4.3.1 ILLUSTRATION
Press the key and the indicator beside is illuminated, which means the genset is in Auto Start
Mode.
4.3.2 AUTO START SEQUENCE
a) When remote start input is active, it enters “Start Delay”;

b) LCD displays “Start Delay” countdown;
c) When start delay is over, preheating relay is energized (if configured), “Preheat delay XXs”
information will be displayed on LCD;
d) When preheating delay is over, the fuel relay outputs for 1s, the stepping motor drives the
throttle to rotate the setting starting angle, and then the start relay outputs; if the genset
doesn’t start successfully during the “Start Time”, the fuel relay and start relay will stop
outputting and enters the “Crank Rest Time” to wait for next crank;
e) If the genset does not start successfully in setting attemps, the fifth line of LCD is black and
displays “Start Failure” alarm;
f) If it starts during the attemps, it enters “Safety on time”, the stepping motor drives throttle to
adjust the speed, and during this period, Low Oil Pressure, High Water Temperature, Under
Speed, Charing Failure and Auxiliary Input (configured) alarms are all inactive; after “Safety on
time”, it enters “Start Idle Delay” (if configured);
g) During “Start idle delay”, under speed, under frequency, under voltage alarms are inactive.
When this delay is over, “Warming up delay” is initiated (if configured);
h) When “Warming up delay” is over, if generator status is normal, its indicator will be illuminated.
If generator voltage and frequency have reached on-load requirements, then generator close
relay will be energized, the genset will take load and generator power indicator will be
illuminated, it will enter normal running status; If voltage or frequency is abnormal, the
controller will initiate alarm and shut down (alarm information will be displayed on LCD).
NOTE: When remote start (off load) is applied to start, the procedure is the same as the above, only in h), the
generator close relay is deactivated, and moreover, genset is off load.
4.3.3 AUTOMATIC STOP SEQUENCE
a) When remote start input is inactive, it enters “Stop Delay”;

b) When stop delay is over, “Stop Cooling Delay” is energized and gen close relay is deactivated,
the gen supply indicator is exstinguished;
c) When it enters “Stop Idle Delay” (if configured), the idling speed relay is energized;
d) When it enters “ETS Solenoid Hold” (if configured), ETS relay is energized while fuel relay is
de-energized;
e) When it enters “Wait for Gen-set Stop”, and complete stop is detected automatically;
f) When the generator stops completely, it enters gen standby status; and the controller alarms if
genset cannot stop (the stop failure warning is displayed on LCD).

4.4 MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION
a) Press key and controller enters “Manual Mode”, the indicator of manual mode is
illuminated. Then press key to start the genset, it can detect crank disconnect condition
and generator accelerates to high-speed running automatically. If high water temperature, low
oil pressure, abnormal voltage occurs during running, it can protect genset to stop quickly (See
4.3.2 of Auto start Sequence c~h). After the normal running with high-speed, controller will
initiate a gen close signal.
b) Manual Stop: press key to stop the running genset. (See 4.3.3 Auto Stop Sequence b~f).

5.1.1 MANUAL CLOSE/OPEN PROCEDURE
When controller in Manual Mode, the switch control procedures will start through manual control
procedure.
If manual close enables, press key, if gen is off load, the gen close will output and when
close delay is over, the indicator of close/open is illuminated; press key, if gen is on-load, the gen
open will output and when open delay is over, the indicator of close/open is exstinguished.
If manual close is disabled, the key of close/open is deactivated.
5.1.2 AUTO CLOSE/OPEN PROCEDURE
When controller is in Auto or Stop Mode, the switch control procedure will perform the automatic
close/open procedure.
When genset is in normal running, gen and frequency reach the on-load conditions, the controller
will excute close/open automatically; the gen off load changes to gen on-load, the gen close will output.
When close delay is over, the indicator of close/open is illuminated; the gen on-load changes to gen off
load, the gen open will output. When open delay is over, the indicator of close/open is extinguished.
NOTE 1: When input port is configured “Gen close status input”, the close/open indicator is consistent only with
the input status of input port. When input port is active, the close/open indicator is illuminated, which means that
the current status is on-load; when input port is inactive, the close/open indicator is extinguished, which means
that the current status is off load.

11 COMMISSIONING
It is recommended to perform the following checks before running the system:

——Ensure that all the wiring connections are correct and the cable diameter is suitable;
——Ensure that the controller DC power has fuse, controller’s positive and negative connected to
starter battery;
——Take proper action to prevent engine to crank disconnect (e.g. remove the connection wire of
fuel valve.) If checking is OK, connect the starter battery and select manual mode, controller
will execute the routine;
——Set controller under manual mode, press “Start” key, genset will start. If start fails after pre-set
start attempts, controller will send signal of start failure, then press “Stop” to reset controller;
——Recover the action of stopping enging start (e.g. connection wire of fuel valve), press start key
again, genset will start. If everything goes well, genset will go to normal running after idle
running (if idle running is set). During this time, please observe engine’s running situations, AC
generator’s voltage and frequency and DC generator voltage. If something abnormal occurs,
stop genset running and check all wires connection according to this manual;
——Select the auto status from front panel, and then connect to remote start signal. The genset
will automatically enter to normal running status and send a Gen close command;
——Disconnect the remote start signal, the genset will enter the stop status automatically, and
send a Gen open command. If not like this, please refer to the manual to check the switch
control wirings;
——If there is any other question, please contact SmartGen’s service.

12 TYPICAL APPLICATION
Fig. 4 HSC941Typical Application Diagram
CAUTION: The starting and fuel output ports should be extended with large capacity relays;
CAUTION: The Gen closing output port must be extended with relay externally while using.

13 CONNECTION OF CONTROLLER AND ENGINE
Fig. 5 Controller and Engine Connection Diagram

14 INSTALLATION
14.1 FIXING CLIPS
——Controller is panel built-in design; it is fixed by clips when installed;

——Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until it reaches proper position;
——Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the controller) and ensure that the four
clips are inside their allotted slots;
——Turn the fixing clips screws clockwise until they are fixed on the panel;
——Care shoud be taken not to over tighten the screws of fixing clips.
14.2 OVERALL DIMENSIONS AND PANEL CUTOUT
Unit:mm
Fig. 6 Overall and Panel Cutout Dimensions

——Battery Voltage Input:
HSC941 controller can suit for wide range of battery voltage DC(8~35)V. Negative of battery must
be connected with the engine shell. Diameter of wire that connects from power supply B+ and B- to
battery positive and negative 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 terminals in order to
prevent charger disturbing the controller’s normal working.
——Speed Sensor Input:
Speed sensor is the magnetic equipment installed in engine body to detect flywheel teeth. Its
connection wires to controller should apply 2-core shielding line. The shielding layer should
connect to No. 14 terminal in controller while another side is hanging in air. The other two signal
wires are connected to No.15 and No.16 terminals of controller. The output voltage of speed
sensor should be within AC(1~24)V (RMS) at full speed. AC12V is recommended (at rated speed).
When installs the speed sensor, 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 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,
increase resistance-capacitance return circuit (when coils of relay have AC current), in order to
prevent disturbance to controller or other equipment.

——AC Input:
Current input of HSC941 controller must be connected to outside current transformer. And the
current transformer’s secondary side current must be 20mA. At the same time, the phases of
current transformer and input voltage must be correct. Otherwise, the collected current and active
power may not be correct
——Withstand Voltage Test:
When controller has been installed in control panel, if it needs voltage withstand test, please
disconnect controller’s all terminal connections, in order to prevent high voltage entering controller
and damaging it.
NOTE 1: ICOM terminal must be connected to battery negative;
NOTE 2: When there is load current, transformer’ secondary side is prohibited to open circuit.
