SMARTGEN HGM6110N-4G Automatic Controller User Manual

1. Introduction

The SMARTGEN HGM6110N-4G Automatic Controller is an advanced device designed for the automatic control and monitoring of gensets. It integrates digital, intelligent, and network communication technologies to provide comprehensive management capabilities. This controller supports automatic start/stop operations, precise data measurement, robust alarm protection, and 'three remote' functions: remote control, remote measurement, and remote communication.

Equipped with a 132x64 LCD display, the HGM6110N-4G offers an intuitive user interface with support for eight optional languages, including Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, and French. Its operation is simplified through push-buttons. The controller's durable design features an acrylic screen for improved wear and scratch resistance, and a silica-gel panel and keys that adapt well to varying temperatures.

A key feature is its integrated network communication module, enabling the genset to connect to the internet. Once logged into a cloud server, unit data, including GPS positioning and altitude, is uploaded in real-time. Users can monitor the genset, inquire about its running status, review event logs, and configure parameters remotely via a dedicated phone application (iOS or Android) or a computer terminal. The network module also provides SMS functionality for alerts and control.

The HGM6110N-4G series utilizes a 32-bit microprocessor for precision measurement, value adjustment, timing, and threshold settings. All parameters can be configured directly from the front panel or adjusted via a PC using a USB or RS485 interface. Its compact structure, simple connections, and high reliability make it suitable for a wide range of automatic control systems.

2. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your HGM6110N-4G controller. Follow these guidelines carefully.

2.1 Physical Installation

The controller is designed for panel mounting. Ensure the mounting location is secure, free from excessive vibration, and within the specified operating temperature range. Allow adequate space for wiring and ventilation around the unit.

The controller is compatible with 3P4W, 3P3W, 1P2W, and 2P3W (120V/240V) AC power systems, operating at 50Hz/60Hz. Ensure your genset's power system matches these specifications.

2.4 Initial Power-up and Configuration

After all connections are secure, apply power to the controller. The LCD display will illuminate. Initial configuration can be performed via the front panel buttons or by connecting to a PC using the USB or RS485 interface and the appropriate software. Refer to the detailed programming manual for parameter settings.

3. Operating Instructions

The HGM6110N-4G controller offers various operating modes and functions for efficient genset management.

3.1 Display and Navigation

The 132x64 LCD display provides real-time operational data, alarms, and status information. Use the push-buttons on the front panel to navigate through menus, view parameters, and acknowledge alarms. The display offers multiple language options for user convenience.

3.2 Automatic Start/Stop

The controller can be configured for automatic start and stop sequences based on predefined conditions, such as mains failure, low battery voltage, or scheduled operation. Ensure all necessary sensors and actuators are correctly connected and calibrated for reliable automatic operation.

3.3 Remote Functions ('Three Remote')

The HGM6110N-4G supports three remote functions:

• Remote Control: Start, stop, or change operating modes of the genset from a remote location.
• Remote Measurement: Access real-time operational data (e.g., voltage, current, frequency, engine parameters) remotely.
• Remote Communication: Utilize the RS485 communication port with MODBUS protocol or the internal network communication module for data exchange with a PC or cloud server.

For cloud-based remote monitoring, ensure the controller is connected to a stable internet connection and registered with the SMARTGEN cloud server. Download the official mobile application (iOS or Android) or access the web portal for remote access.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your HGM6110N-4G controller.

4.1 Cleaning

Periodically clean the controller's front panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the acrylic screen or silica-gel panel. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates around the buttons or display.

4.2 Connection Checks

Inspect all wiring connections periodically to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or false readings.

4.3 Firmware Updates

Check the SMARTGEN website or contact support for information on available firmware updates. Keeping the controller's firmware up-to-date can provide new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Follow the provided instructions carefully when performing updates.

5. Troubleshooting

This section provides guidance for common issues you might encounter with the HGM6110N-4G controller.

5.1 Common Issues and Solutions

• Controller does not power on: Check the main power supply to the controller. Verify all power connections are secure and correctly wired according to the diagram.
• Genset fails to start automatically: Ensure the automatic start conditions are met (e.g., mains failure detected, remote start signal active). Check all relevant sensor inputs and output connections to the genset starter. Review alarm logs on the controller for specific fault indications.
• Incorrect readings on display: Verify sensor connections and calibration settings. Ensure the correct type of sensor is used for each input (e.g., engine temperature, oil pressure).
• Remote communication issues: Check network cable connections or cellular signal strength for the internal communication module. Verify cloud server registration and account status. For RS485, ensure correct wiring, baud rate, and MODBUS address settings.
• Alarms persist: Identify the specific alarm code displayed on the LCD. Refer to the detailed product manual for a comprehensive list of alarm codes and their corresponding troubleshooting steps. Address the root cause of the alarm before resetting.
