OVERVIEW

HGM1790N Genset controller is suited for single unit automation and monitoring control (also can be used for pumping unit). It can realize manual start/stop of the genset, and it can also automatically start/stop Genset by remote start signal. HGM1790N controller can supervise and protect Genset operation by gathering and analyzing Genset data like generated voltage, current, water temperature, oil pressure, and so on, and it can indicate fault conditions and do maintenance as soon as possible. The graphical LCD and touch-button operation make it clear and intuitive. Moreover, parameter threshold and delay value can be adjusted via front panel or USB port (communicated with PC software).

PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS

  • Graphical LCD display (with backlight), LED indicator, touch-buttons operation;
  • Hard screen acrylic material is used to protect the screen.
  • Silicone panel and buttons are adopted to increase high and low-temperature adaption ability;
  • Power supply range DC (8~35)V, compatible with 12V or 24V starting batteries;
  • Generator single phase voltage, current, frequency, power, and load percentage parameters are measured and displayed:
    Generator Voltage V
    Generator Power kW
    Load Percentage %| Generator Frequency Hz
    Generator Current A
    ---|---
  • Precision-measured and displayed parameters of engine:
    Oil Pressure kPa
    Fuel Level %
    Battery Voltage V| Temperature ºC
    Total Running Time H (max. 199999 hours)
    Engine Speed RPM
    ---|---

Accumulated Start Times (max. 199999 times, displayed on PC)

  • With genset fault protection and display functions.
  • 3 working modes: manual, auto, stop;
  • Compatible with multiple temperatures, pressure, and fuel level sensors, which can be user-defined and used directly; temperature sensors and pressure sensors can be used in parallel with an annunciator, providing analog quantity and increasing protection level at the same time;
  • Multiple crank disconnect conditions to select (engine speed sensor, oil pressure, generator frequency);
  • 1 configurable input port which can be set as digital input or liquid level sensor;
  • 2 fixed relay outputs (fuel relay, start relay);
  • 3 configurable output ports which can be set as a common alarm output, preheat output, or idle control output;
  • Parameters can be set and modified by users and saved in internal FLASH storage, which means that they will not be lost in case of power off. Most parameters of the controller can be modified using the front panel and all parameters can be adjusted by PC software via a type-B USB port;
  • Digital regulation of all parameters – instead of analog regulation using a conventional potentiometer, therefore, higher reliability and stability;
  • Modular design, self-extinguishing ABS plastic enclosure, and embedded installation way; small size and compact structure with easy mounting

NOTE:

  1. When active power is “—”, which means active power is negative, please check voltage and current connection.
  2. When pressure, temperature, and liquid level sensors are not displayed, which means not used; when displayed “OFF” means sensors are open circuit.
  3. When total running time is lower than 20000 hours, the value before the decimal point means running hours, and the value after the decimal point means 1/10 hour.

4.6. AUTO START/STOP OPERATION
Auto mode is selected by pressing ; a LED beside the button will illuminate to confirm the operation.
Automatic Start Sequence:

  1. When “Remote Start” is active (6 terminals connected with B-), the “Start Delay” timer is initiated;
  2. When the start delay is over, preheat relay energizes (if configured), and the “Preheat Delay” starts to count.
  3. After the preheat delay, the Fuel Relay (if configured) 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 stop to output; “Crank Rest Time” begins and wait for the next crank attempt.
  4. Should this start sequence continue beyond the set number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and will be displayed on the LCD meaning Fail to Start, and meanwhile, the alarm indicator light is blinking.
  5. In case of a successful crank attempt, the “Safety On” timer is activated, and Low Oil Pressure, High Temperature, and other alarms are inactive during the period. As soon as this delay is over, the “Start Idle” delay is initiated (if configured).
  6. During the “Start Idle” delay, under-speed, under-frequency, and under-voltage alarms are inhibited. When this delay is over, a “Warming up” delay is initiated (if configured).
  7. When the “Warming up” delay is over, Genset starts normal running; if the generator voltage or frequency is abnormal, shutdown alarm signals will be sent by the controller.

Automatic Stop Sequence,

  1. When the “Remote Start” signal is removed, “Stop Delay” is initiated.
  2. Once this “Stop Delay” has expired, the “Cooling Delay” is then initiated.
  3. During the “Stop Idle” Delay (if configured), the idle relay is energized.
  4. ETS Solenoid Hold” begins, the ETS relay is energized while the fuel relay is de-energized.
  5. Fail to Stop Delay” begins, and the complete stop is detected automatically.
  6. The generator is placed into its standby mode after its “After stop” delay. Otherwise, fail to stop alarm is initiated. (LCD display )

NOTE:
a) When pressing the stop button in auto start status, the Genset will stop and enter into stop mode simultaneously.
b) In process of crank rest delay, preheat and ETS functions are energized when fuel output is de-energized and crank rest time countdown is less than 7s. After the crank rest delay, the ETS output is de-energized, the fuel relay starts output, and preheat relay output is off before the crank.
4.7. MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION

  1. MANUAL START: Press the button to start the Genset (No.2~7 of Automatic Start Sequence for detail procedures). With high temperature, low oil pressure, over speed, and abnormal voltage during generator running, the controller can protect Genset to stop quickly.
  2. MANUAL STOP: Press can shut down the running Genset. (Please refer to No.2~6 of Automatic Stop Sequence for detailed procedures).

If not select generator frequency in the crank disconnect setting, the controller will not collect and display the relative electric quantity (which can be used in the water pump set); if not select speed in the crank disconnect setting, the speed displayed in the controller is calculated by generator signa

CONTROLLER FUNCTION SETTING

8.1. PARAMETER SETTING
Hold and press for 2s to enter into the password interface, and the first digit is blinked as follows,

  1. Press   the button to increase the value of the blinking digit and to decrease the value; when the first digit is set, press to move the cursor;
  2. Repeat the same procedure to set the digits from 2 nds to 4 th ;
  3. If the password is right, enter into the parameter configuration interface (as shown below) which includes the serial number of the set items and their parameters; press to scroll down and to scroll up;
  1. Press to set the current item, and when the first digit starts blinking, use the same way that is used for a password to enter the set value.

Attention:

a) Please change the controller parameters when the generator is in standby mode only (e. g. Crank disconnect conditions selection, configurable input, configurable output, various delays), otherwise, shutdown and other abnormal conditions may happen.
b) the Serial number of parameters please reference Table 7
c) The value of each parameter can be set only within a certain range; otherwise, it can’t be changed.
d) Over voltage set value must be higher than under voltage set value, otherwise over voltage and under voltage condition may occur simultaneously.
e) Over speed set value must be higher than under speed set value, otherwise over speed and under speed condition may occur simultaneously.
f) Please set the generator frequency value as low as possible when cranking, in order to make the starter be separated quickly as soon as a crank disconnects.
g) Before selecting the fuel level sensor type, it is necessary to set a configurable input port type as 8 first.
h) At any time press can stop the current parameter setting immediately.
8.2. LCD CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT
When genset is in standby status, simultaneously hold and press and keys for 2s to enter into the LCD contrast adjustment interface, and LCD contrast increases one level every 1s without releasing buttons. There are 6 levels to select as requirements.

8.3. GENERATOR FLYWHEEL TEETH AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
In manual mode, if crank disconnect conditions are selected as “2 Speed + Generator Frequency” or “5 Generator Frequency + Speed + Oil Pressure” (generator frequency and speed are not 0), the controller will automatically adjust generator flywheel teeth based on gen frequency and poles when simultaneous press and keys for 0.5s.

SENSOR SETTINGS

a) Sensors connected to the controller are all resistor types. Parts of build- in standard sensor curves in the controller can be selected by users via PC software (details please to see Table 10)
b) When inputting the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be input from small to large, otherwise, a mistake occurs.
c) If the sensor type is set as “not used”, the sensor curve is not working and the LCD displays “—”.
d) If there is only a low oil pressure alarm switch and without an oil pressure sensor, a pressure sensor can be set as “low digital input is active” or “high digital input is active”.
e) The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as the same as below,

COMMISSIONING

Please make sure the following checks are made before commissioning,

  1. Ensure all the connections are correct and the wire diameter is suitable.
  2. Ensure that the controller DC power has fused, and the controller’s positive and negative are correctly connected to starting battery.
  3. Take proper action to prevent the engine to crank success (e. g. Remove the connection wire of the fuel valve). If checking is OK, make the starting battery power on; choose the manual mode and the controller will executive routine.
  4. Set the controller under manual mode, press the “start” button, and Genset will start. After the cranking times as setting, the controller will send a signal of Start Failure; then press “stop” to reset the controller.
  5. Recover the action to prevent the engine to crank success (e. g. Connect the wire of the fuel valve), press the start button again, and Genset will start. If everything goes well, Genset will normal running after idle running (if the idle run is set). During this time, please watch for the engine’s running situation and the AC generator’s voltage and frequency. If abnormal, stop Genset and check all wires connection according to this manual.
  6. Any other questions please contact with SmartGen service personnel.

TYPICAL APPLICATION

CAUTION: Crank and fuel output ports should be extended to large-capacity relays.
CAUTION: When the sensor port is configured as “high digital input is active”, hanging in the air means a high electrical level; and a power supply positive is prohibited to be connected.

INSTALLATION

12.1. FIXING CLIPS

  1. The controller is a panel built-in design; it is fixed by clips when installed.
  2. Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until it reaches the proper position.
  3. Pull the fixing clip backward (towards the back of the module) ensuring two clips are inside their allotted slots.
  4. Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they are fixed on the panel.

NOTE: Care should be taken not to over-tighten the screws of fixing clips.
12.2. OVERALL DIMENSION

  • BATTERY VOLTAGE INPUT HGM1790N
    a series controller can suit a wide range of battery voltage DC(8~35)V. The negative of the battery must be connected with the engine shell. The diameter of the wire that connects the power supply to the battery must be over 1.5mm
  1. If the floating charger is configured, please first connect the output wires of the charger to the battery’s positive and negative direction, then, connect wires from the battery’s positive and negative to the controller’s positive and negative input ports in order to prevent the charger disturbing the controller’s normal working.
  • SPEED SENSOR INPUT
    The speed sensor is the magnetic equipment that is installed in the starter for detecting flywheel teeth. Its connection wires to the controller should apply for 2 cores shielding line. The shielding layer should connect to the No. 1 terminal in the controller while another side is hanging in the air. The else two signal wires are connected to No.1 and No.10 terminals in the controller. The output voltage of the speed sensor should be within AC(1~24)V (effective value) during the full speed. AC12V is recommended (in rated speed). When installing the speed sensor, let the sensor is spun to contacting flywheel first, then, port out 1/3 lap, and lock the nuts of the sensor at last.

  • OUTPUT AND EXPAND RELAYS
    All outputs of the controller are relay contact output types. If need to expand the relays, please add a freewheel diode to both ends of expanding relay’s coils (when coils of the relay have DC current) or, increase the resistance-capacitance return circuit (when coils of the relay have AC current), in order to prevent disturbance to controller or others equipment.

  • AC INPUT
    The current input of the controller must be connected to the outside current transformer. And the current transformer’s secondary side current must be 5A. At the same time, the phases of the current transformer and input voltage must be correct. Otherwise, the current of collecting and active power maybe not be correct.
    WARNING: When there is a load current, the transformer’s secondary side is prohibited to open the circuit.

  • WITHSTAND VOLTAGE TEST
    When the controller had been installed in the control panel, if need a high voltage test, please disconnect the controller’s all terminal connections, in order to prevent high voltage into the controller and damaging it.
