This user manual only suits for HGM8151 controller. Table 2 Notation Clarification Symbol Instruction Highlights an essential element of a procedure to ensure correctness. NOTE Indicates a procedure or practice, which, if not strictly observed, could result in CAUTION damage or destruction of equipment.
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) control function, the controller is able to synchronize and share load automatically; it can be used to parallel with other HGM8151 controller. It also monitors the engine, indicating the operational status and fault conditions accurately. When abnormal condition occurs, it splits bus and shuts down the genset, simultaneously the exact failure mode information is indicated by the LCD display on the front panel.
Hour count (HC) can accumulate Max. 65535 hours. Start times can accumulate Max. 65535 times ─ Protection: automatic start/stop of the gen-set, ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) control with perfect fault indication and protection function. HGM8151 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 7 of 66...
