Owner’s Manual SmartGen® HSC940 Controller Note: “Graphics in this document are for representation only. Actual model may differ in appearance.” March 2017 032-5094-1A-EN...
Overview HSC940 genset controllers integrate digitization, intellectualization and network technology which are used for gas genset automation and monitor control system of single unit to achieve automatic start/stop, data measure, alarm protection, three remote: remote control, remote measuring and remote communication (SG485 module must be fitted) and speed regulation.
Performance & Characteristics HSC940, used for single automation systems; it regulates the speed simply by adjust the throttle opening via the driving stepper motor; auto start/stop of the unit are performed with the help of remote signal. Key characteristics • 132×64 LCD with backlight, multilingual interface (including Chinese, English, Spanish and Russian), pushbutton operation;...
Operation 4.1 KEY OPERATIONS Stop running generator in Auto/Manual mode; Lamp test (press Stop/ Reset at least 3 seconds); Reset alarm if alarm occurs; During stopping process, press this button again to stop generator immediately. Start Start genset in Manual/Test mode. Pressing this key will set the module into Manual mode.
Operation 4.3 AUTO START/STOP OPERATION Auto mode is selected by pressing the button; a LED besides the button will illuminate to confirm the operation. Automatic Start Sequence: 1. When “Remote Start” is active, “Start Delay” timer is initiated; 2. “Start Delay” countdown will be displayed on LCD; 3.
Operation 4.4 MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION 1. MANUAL START: Manual mode is selected by pressing the button; a LED besides the button will illuminate to confirm the operation. Then press button to start the genset; can detect crank disconnect condition and generator accelerates to high-speed running automatically.
Protection 5.1 WARNINGS Warnings are not shutdown alarms and do not affect the operation of the genset. Warning alarms does not lead to shutdown and the alarm information will be displayed on the LCD. Warning alarms types are as follows: Type Description When the controller detects that there is High Temperature input and...
Protection 5.2 SHUTDOWN ALARM When controller detects shutdown alarm, it will send signal to open breaker and shuts down generator. Besides, the alarm information will be displayed on the LCD. Shutdown alarms as following: Type Description When the controller detects that there is Emergency Stop input, it will ini- Emergency Stop tiate a shutdown alarm and the alarm information will be displayed on the LCD.

Protection 7.4 CONDITIONS OF CRANK DISCONNECT SELECTION Form 4 Setting Description Gen frequency Speed sensor Speed sensor + Gen frequency NOTES: 1. There are 2 conditions to make starter disconnected with engine, that is, speed sensor and generator frequency. They all can be used separately. We recommend that speed sensor should be using with generator frequency together, in order to make the starter motor is separated with engine immediately and can check crank disconnect exactly.
