1. SUMMARY
HGM1880 is an auto start module. It has 3 working modes which can be select
through push button in the panel. It can control the genset to start/stop by manual or
remote start signal. When controller detected faults (such as low oil pressure,
water/cylinder temperature, emergency stop alarm, and over speed), it can
disconnect the fuel relay and stop. LCD in the panel displays faults status and offers
real alarm signals.
does not select voltage input), suitable for pump unit control;
♦ Red light-emitting diodes (LED) installed in the panel displays working and
alarming status;
♦ Multiple sensors of temperature, pressure, and oil level can be used directly and
its parameters can be defined. The sensors of temperature and pressure can be
paralleled use with temperature and pressure alarm;
♦ Multiple crank disconnect conditions are optional (such as magnetic pickup, oil
pressure and gens);
♦ 2 fixed relay outputs (fuel output, start output);
♦ 1 programmable output which can be set as common alarm output, fail to stop
output, preheat output or idle control output;
♦ User can edit and save the parameters in FLASH memory of controller and not
lost even power off. All parameters can be set via front panel or link port via PC
testing software (with SG72 adaptor). An USB port is needed only without
connecting battery to set parameters;

parameter setting, press this to decrease values.
Press this key to enter into Auto Mode. In
Auto/Increase
parameter setting, press this to increase values.
Press this key, genset stops and enters into
Stop
standby mode; Press this to reset an alarm.
Turn Page Used for turning pages in LCD; in parameter
/Confirm setting, can shift cursor and confirm setting.
Alarm Indicator This indicator will illuminate when an alarm occurs.
Manual Start ( )
◆ This mode is activated by pressing the ( ) (hold 1 second), LED indicator beside
the button illuminates and confirms this action. Preheat is outputting firstly and
preheat delay begins. Fuel output 1 second before preheat delay is over, and then
preheat output opens, starter is energized to output and engine cranks. When
gens frequency is over the preset, starter is power off, genset starts successfully
and enters into safety on delay. When the delay is over, idle delay begins. When
the delay is over, idle delay closes and genset runs in high speed.
Automatic ( )
◆ This mode is activated by pressing the ( ) (hold 1 second), LED indicator beside
the button illuminates and confirms this action. When remote start signal is active
(remote start input connected to B-), genset will start automatically after start
delay. Preheat is outputting firstly and preheat delay begins. Fuel output 1 second
before preheat delay is over, and then preheat output opens, starter is energized
to output (If crank disconnect within specified times, module is started; if fail to
disconnect every time, common alarm annunciator illuminates) and enters into
safety on delay. When delay is over, enters into idle delay. After it is over, idle
delay closes and genset runs in high speed.
Note: In the interval of start attempts, fuel output opens. After 3 seconds of start interval
delay, pre-heating and ETS is outputting. After start interval delay is over, ETS
output is disconnecting and fuel output. The pre-heating output is disconnected
before starting.
♦ When remote start signal input is inactive, genset enters into idle after stop delay.
Idle relay disconnects and fuel relay is also disconnects after idle delay is over.
ETS is outputting and genset will stop automatically. When genset is steadily
stopped, ETS is disconnected.
Stop ( ),
♦ During genset in normal running (Manual or Auto mode), this mode is activated by
pressing the ( ) (hold 1 second). LED indicator beside the button confirms this
action and is illuminating and genset enters into idle delay process. Idle delay
opens. After idle delay is over, fuel output opens ETS output and genset stops.
When genset is steadily stopped, ETS is disconnected.
♦ When genset has fault alarm, pressing this key (hold 1 second) can remove it.
Press over 1 second, all LED indicators in the panel will illuminate (lamp test).
♦ Under stop mode, press this key at least 1 second, ETS is outputting and all
lamps in the panel are illuminating (lamp test). After releasing the Stop button,
ETS output opens immediately and the lamp test is over.
♦ When genset in stop mode, controller only responds to emergency stop signal.
Note: the programmable output ports can be set as “ETS output”, “idle output” or
“Preheat output” via PC. Therefore, those 3 functions couldn’t activate
simultaneously. All above description just means the procedure of controller’s logic
action and supposes that the 3 functions were active.
