AUTO START/STOP OPERATION
Press key and the indicator besides lights on, which means generator is in auto mode
Auto Start Sequence
- When remote start signal is active or mains failure (over/under voltage) delay is expired, “StartDelay” time is initiated;
- When start delay is over, preheating relay outputs (if configured), “preheat delay” is initiated;
- After the above delay, the fuel relay outputs, and one second later, the start relay outputs;During the starting time if the genset fails to start, fuel relay and start relay stop outputting,enter “Crank Rest Time” and wait for next start;
- If the genset fails to start during the set starting attempts, LED indicator will display startfailure;
- f the genset starts successfully during the starting attempts, it enters “Safety On” time, duringwhich low oil alarm types are inactive; After “Safety On” time, it enters “Start Idle Delay” (ifconfigured);
- During “Start Idle Delay”, under frequency and under volt alarms are inhibited; When this delayis over, “Warming Up Delay” is initiated (if configured);
- After the “warming up delay”, genset will enter into Normal Running status. If genset voltage orfrequency is abnormal, controller alarm shutdown will be initiated.
Auto Stop Sequence
- When remote start input is invalid or mains normal delay is expired, “Stop Delay” time isinitiated;
- Once this “stop delay” has expired, the “Cooling Down Delay” is then initiated;
- When “Stop Idle Delay” (if configured) starts, idle speed relay outputs;
- When “ETS Solenoid Hold” begins, ignition control relay is energized and fuel relay isde-energized; Genset enters standby status.
NOTE
- Press stop key in auto start status, generator will stop and enter into manual mode simultaneously.
- Total running timer starts when generator meets crank disconnection conditions, meanwhile, the last decimalpoint of the digital tube flashes to indicate that the generator is running.
MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION
Press key, indicator besides lights off, which means generator is in manual mode
Manual start: press to start genset (Please refer to 4.4,a), 2~7). If low oil pressure and abnormal voltage occur during the running process, controller shall protect it to stop quickly.
Manual Stop: press and it can stop the running genset (Please refer to 4.4,b), 2~4).
AIR FLAP CONTROL
Engine cylinder temperature sensor is applied
- Before the genset starts up, If the cylinder temperature is below the set cylinder temperaturelimit of air flap blocking, the air flap is at the position of full blocking; if it is between thetemperature limits of air flap dropping and air flap opening, then the air flap is at the position ofhalf opening; if it is above the temperature limit of air flap opening, the air flap shall be at theposition of full opening;
- In the cranking process when the starting countdown goes more than half, the air flap opens1/3 at current position; when start delay is finished but starting is not completed, next pre-startcylinder temperature estimation starts;
- After successful start, the air flap opens 1/3 again at present position; when the cylindertemperature is over the temperature limit of air flap opening, the air flap shall open completely
Engine cylinder temperature sensor is applied, or sensor is opened
circuit:
Before genset starts up, air flap is at the position of full blocking. For the
first starting attempt, theair flap opens from full blocking and it shall open
completely in 2s; for the second starting attempt, the air flap opens from the
position of half blocking and in 2s it opens completely; if the two attempts
both failed, the opening time for air flap becomes 10s. After successful
start, air flap opens 1/3 at present position and meanwhile after air flap
blocking delay the air flap opens completely.
ATS SWITCHING CONTROL
Auto mode: if Mains is available, ATS switches it to Mains; if Mains is abnormal and genset is running normally, ATS switches it to generator. In other status, ATS lies at the Mains position. Manual mode: if generator close input is active, then when genset is running normally, the generator breaker shall be closed; if generator close input is inactive or the generator is not running normally, then the Mains breaker shall be closed
NOTE: To use ATS control function, the programmable output ports shall be configured as GCB close output and MCB close output, and meanwhile input port shall be configured as GCB close input.
PROTECTION
- Generator overvoltage shutdown: alarm occurs when the controller detects generator voltageexceeds overvoltage limit and the duration exceeds the generator abnormal delay value.
- Generator under voltage shutdown: the controller detects after genset normal running andwhen generator voltage is below under voltage limit and the duration exceeds the generatorabnormal delay value alarm occurs.
- Generator over frequency shutdown: alarm and shutdown occur when generator frequency isabove over frequency limit and duration exceeds over frequency shutdown delay.
- Generator under frequency shutdown: the controller detects after generator-set normalrunning and alarm and shutdown occur when generator frequency is below under frequencylimit and duration exceeds under frequency shutdown delay.
- Low oil pressure input shutdown: the controller detects after safety on delay, alarm andshutdown occur when low oil pressure input is active and lasts for 2s.
- Fail to start: alarm occurs when start still fails after pre-set start attempts.

INSTALLATION
FIXING CLIPS
— The controller is panel-embedded design and the panels are fixed by clips in
installation.
— Twist the fixing clip screw anticlockwise until it reaches proper position.
— Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the module), ensuring
two clips are right inside their allotted slots.
— Turn the fixing clip screws firmly clockwise until they are fixed on the
panel
NOTE: Pay attention to that the clip screws shall not be turned too tightened
OVERALL AND CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
Battery Voltage In put
MGC1 20 controller is only suitable for DC 12 V battery voltage environment . battery Negative must be connected with the engine shell soundly. The diameter of the wire which connects controller power B+/B B- and battery positive/negative must be over (or eq ual to) 1. 5mm 2. If floating charge r is configured, please firstly connect charger output wires to battery’s positive and negative directly, and then connect battery’s positive and negative and controller power’s positive and negative individually by anothe another wires in order to prevent charge charger disturbing the controller’s normal working.
With stand Voltage Test
When the controller has been installed in the control panel, if the high vo ltage test is conductedconducted, please disconnect controller’s all terminals in order to prevent high voltage entering controller and damag ing it.
