SmartGen HGM6110N Generator Controller User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the SmartGen HGM6110N Generator Controller. The HGM6110N is an Automatic Start Module (ASM) designed for remote generator start/stop functionality, suitable for various generator control and automation applications.

The HGM6100N series offers advanced features for seamless generator control, including a durable display, comprehensive monitoring capabilities, and wide compatibility with different AC power systems.

2. Key Features

• Dual-Mode Functionality: The HGM6110N is an Automatic Start Module (ASM) for remote generator start/stop. Other variants in the HGM6100N series (HGM6120N/6120NC/6120CAN) add mains AC monitoring and automatic mains/generator switching (AMF).
• Advanced Display & Interface: Features a 132x64 LCD with backlight and multilingual support (Chinese, English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, French). The durable acrylic screen offers enhanced scratch resistance, and silica-gel panel/keys ensure reliable operation in extreme temperatures.
• Comprehensive Monitoring & Control: Measures and displays 3-phase voltage, current, frequency, and power parameters for both mains and generators.
• Communication Protocols: Supports MODBUS protocol via RS485 for remote monitoring, control, and communication. CANBUS port (on HGM6110CAN/6120CAN variants) enables connection to electronic injection systems (J1939) for real-time engine data monitoring and control functions.
• Wide Compatibility: Compatible with 3P4W, 3P3W, 1P2W, and 2P3W AC power systems (120V/240V, 50Hz/60Hz).

• Power Supply: Connect the controller to a stable DC power source (e.g., 12V or 24V battery).
• Generator Inputs: Connect generator voltage and current transformer (CT) inputs.
• Engine Control: Connect to the engine's start/stop solenoids, fuel solenoid, and pre-heat relays.
• Sensors: Connect engine sensors for oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and speed.
• Auxiliary Inputs/Outputs: Utilize programmable auxiliary inputs and outputs for custom control and monitoring.
• Communication Ports: If applicable, connect RS485 for MODBUS communication or CANBUS for J1939 engine data.

All wiring should be performed by qualified personnel, adhering to local electrical codes and safety standards. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

5. Operating Instructions

The HGM6110N controller is designed for user-friendly operation. The LCD display provides real-time status and parameter readings, while the push-buttons allow for navigation and control.

5.1 Control Modes

• Manual Mode: Allows for direct manual control of generator start and stop.
• Auto Mode: The controller will automatically start and stop the generator based on configured remote start signals or other programmed conditions.

5.2 Display Navigation
