2) When bus is closed already, controller shall regulate genset speed and voltage on the bus
automatically to make bus synchronizing with mains. When conditions are met, mains close
relay outputs, and parallel mains with bus. Controller controls soft load transfer, and after the
transfer, it will do normal load share.
Mains Open Operation: Press mains key,
1) When bus is not closed, mains open relay outputs directly;

2) When bus is closed already, controller first will soft transfer load to bus, and after load transfer
then mains open relay outputs.
4.6.2 AUTOMATIC CONTROL PROCEDURE
When controller is in auto mode, the switch control procedure is automatic control procedure.
NOTE: Auxiliary input of breaker close must be configured for input port, and wiring must be connected correctly.

5 MULTI-CHANNEL MAINS OPERATION
In multi-channel mains system, multiple gensets are controlled by HGM8156 and they supply
multiple load. If something abnormal occurs for one channel mains, controller will control genset to
start and take load. If something abnormal occurs for multiple channels, controller will control genset to
take load one by one. When there is only one mains channel normal, controller will control switch and
make mains take the load. When multiple mains channels are normal, controller will control mains to
take the load one by one.
HGM8156 priority includes status priority and module priority. When status priorities are different,
priority is decided by status. When status priorities are the same, the priority is decided by module
priority. Module priority can be set by users, but status priority cannot.

13.2 OUTPUT AND EXPAND RELAYS
CAUTION! All outputs of controller are relay contact outputs. If it needs to expand relays, please add freewheel diode
to both ends of expansion relay 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.
13.3 AC INPUT
Current input must be connected to outside current transformer. Current transformer’s secondary
side current must be 5A. At the same time, phases of current transformer and input voltage must be
correct, otherwise collected current and active power may not be correct.
NOTE: ICOM port must be connected to negative of battery.
WARNING! When there is load current, transformer’s secondary side is prohibited to open circuit.
13.4 WITHSTAND VOLTAGE TEST
CAUTION! When controller has been installed in control panel, if high voltage test is needed, please disconnect
controller’s all terminal connections, in order to prevent high voltage entering controller and damaging it.

14 ETHERNET PORT
14.1 ILLUSTRATION
Ethernet port can be used to monitor controller and realize network client connection.
NOTE: After changing network parameters of controller (e.g. IP address, subnet mask etc.), controller shall be
powered on again to make new settings effective.
14.2 NETWORK CLIENT CONNECTION
As network client, controller can be monitored by TCP Modbus protocol via network port.
Steps are as below:
─ Set IP address and sub network mask of the controller. IP address must be in the same
network segment with monitoring equipment (e.g. PC), but is different from it; e.g.: if
monitoring equipment IP address is 192.168.0.16, controller IP can be 192.168.0.18, subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0.
─ Connect the controller. It can be connected to the monitoring equipment directly using
network cable or via switchboard.
─ The communication between the controller and monitoring equipment is carried out by TCP
ModBus protocol.
NOTE: In this connection mode controller parameters can be set. SmartGen provides testing software for this
connection mode. Communication protocol can be obtained from the SmartGen service.
