FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
INSTRUCTION
The function of HLS300 Power Share Module is to proportionally share active load to each operating genset according to genset capacitance. When “FIXLOAD” is active, the module works in fixed power mode; otherwise the module works in power share mode. Press
button for 3s, and it will enter into test mode, which is used to test relay output and indicator status.
FIXED POWER MODE
Target power can be set via the external device connected with terminal 16, 17, 18. When close input is active, the module will adjust present power to target power and stabilize it between △f and △P.
POWER SHARE MODE
Multiple modules are connected with each other via CAN bus and operate in power share mode together. Target power is an average of present power sums of these modules. When close input is active, the module will adjust present power to target power and stabilize it between △f and △P.
TEST MODE
Press
button for 3s, and the module will enter into test mode and the lamp will illuminate, in the mean time the other lamps irrelevant with relay output will illuminate. -P relay outputs and the corresponding lamp will illuminate. In this mode, for every time to press
button, there will be a relay output and the corresponding lamp will illuminate. The module will quit test mode after relay output is finished (every time there will be only one relay output and the corresponding lamp will illuminate). When it is in test mode, the module will automatically quit if there is no button pressed for about 18s.
NOTE: Test mode is prohibited when the module is operating (when close input is active).

CASE DIMENSION

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
OUTPUT AND EXPAND RELAYS
All outputs are relay contact output type. If it needs to expand the relays, please add freewheel diode to both ends of expand relay’s coils (when coils of relay have DC current) or, add resistance-capacitance return circuit (when coils of relay have AC current), in order to prevent disturbance for controller or other equipment’s.
AC INPUT
Current input must be connected to outside current transformer. And the current transformer’s secondary side current must be 5A. Meanwhile the phases of CT and input voltage must be correct, otherwise the sampling current and active power may be incorrect.
NOTE: When there is load current, transformer’s secondary side is prohibited to have open circuit.
WITHSTAND VOLTAGE TEST
CAUTION: When relay had been installed in control panel, if need the high voltage test, please disconnect relay’s all terminal connections, in order to prevent high voltage into relay and damage it.
FAULT FINDING
The followings are the common faults and troubleshooting methods during the use process of our company controllers. If other unsolvable faults occur, please contact our company.
Table 9 – Fault Findings
| Fault Symptom | Possible Measures |
| Controller no response with power on | Check controller connection wirings; Check power fuse; |
| Unbalanced power share | Check governor wirings; Check whether breaker close feedback input is normal or not; |
| Circular high and low distribution of gensets in parallel network; (Leisurely car) | Dead area of power distribution setting is too minimum; Speed governor parameter configurations make output flexibility too high; Speed governor flexibility is too high. |
| No response for unloading | Check speed governor wirings; Check unload input port wirings; |
