1. SUMMARY

The Model HGM72 is an Automatic Engine Control Module. The module is

used to automatically start and stop the engine, indicating the operational status
and fault conditions, automatically shutting down the engine and indicating the
engine failure by LED on the front panel.

2. FEATURES

♦ Micro-processor based design;

♦ Power supply range is wide, accommodating to different starting battery
voltage environments;
♦ Multiple alarm;
♦ Supply charge excitation;
♦ Supply idle control;
♦ Speed depend on frequency of generator;
♦ 12 LEDS display the status;
♦ Operational timers can be altered by PC;
♦ Built-in watch dog can never be dead halt, ensuring smooth program
execution;
♦ Modular configuration design, inserted type connection terminals, flush
type installation, compact structure, easy installation.

◙ OPERATION
Module has three states: stop state (OFF), man state (MAN), auto state
(AUTO).

★Man Start ( )

When push Man start button ( ), preheat will first output, and start preheat
delay, when preheat delay is end, fuel output 1 second, preheat output will
stop, and crank output is start. Here engine will start, when crank
successfully, crank output stop. Then engine comes into the safe time.

 HGM72 Automatic generator module

When the safe time is end, then engine comes into the idle time. When the
safe time is end, then idle output is out and engine will run at full tilt.

★Auto State ( )

☻ When push ( ) button, the model will comes into auto state. Here if
Remote Start Input is active (connect to B-), the engine will start after the
delay of start engine. Preheat will first output, and start preheat delay,
when preheat delay is end, fuel output 1 second, preheat output will stop,
and crank output is start. Here engine will start, when crank successfully,
crank output stop. Then engine comes into the safe time. When the safe
time is end, then engine comes into the idle time. When the safe time is
end, then idle output is out and engine will run at full tilt.
☻ When Remote Start Input is inactive, the engine comes into the idle time
after the delay of stop engine, the idle output stop and state the delay of
the stop idle time. When the delay is end, fuel output stop and stop output
will out, then engine will stop, when engine stop successfully, stop output
stop.

★Stop State ( )

☻ Push ( ) button when engine is running, the engine comes into the idle
time after the delay of stop engine, the idle output stop and state the delay
of the stop idle time. When the delay is end, fuel output stop and stop
output will out, then engine will stop, when engine stop successfully, stop
output stop.

☻ When alarm is appear, push ( ) button can relieve the alarm.

☻ When engine is wait state, push ( ) button over 1 second, stop output
will out and all led will be Lighten.
☻ When engine is wait state, only emergent stop alarm can be check.

5. ALARM

1. Low Oil Pressure: check after the safe time, continuance is over 2 seconds,
the model will alarm and stop engine.
2. High Temperature: check after the safe time, continuance is over 3
seconds, the model will alarm and stop engine.
3. Over Speed: check after the preheat time, continuance is over 1.5 seconds,
the model will alarm and stop engine.
4. Under Speed: check when engine run at full tilt, continuance is over 15
seconds, the model will alarm and stop engine.
5. Charge Failure: check when engine run at full tilt, continuance is over 3

seconds, the model will warn but don’t stop engine.

6. Over Crank: when engine crank fail over the times of configure, the model
will alarm and stop engine.
7. Stop Failure: when engine is stop fail, the model will warn.
8. Lost speed: check after the safe time, continuance is over 5 seconds, the
model will alarm and stop engine.
9. Over Battery: check all the time, continuance is over 20 seconds, the
model will warn but don’t stop engine.
10. Low Battery: check all the time, continuance is over 20 seconds, the model
will warn but don’t stop engine.
11. Emergent Stop: check all the time, the model will alarm and stop engine.
12. Common Alarm: when any alarm or warn is appear, this alarm will active.
