HMCflex
Operating Instructions
1. General
1.1 Introduction
The HMCflex unit offers a multitude of functions for the control and monitoring of conventional but also
electronically-controlled diesel engines. You can individually configure the settings for very diverse
applications and different engine variants. HMCflex is capable of pre-glowing, by-glowing and after-
glowing the engine to up to 70A, using time or temperature variables. Oil pressure and engine tem-
perature can be monitored with switches or sensors. One additional input is provided for monitoring
the generator. The operating solenoid is actuated by the outputs for excitation and pull-in winding. In
addition, a fault output is provided and an "external stop" input (hood switch, cover or housing switch)
can be used to shut down the engine.
In the event of a fault, the display returns a corresponding message after an adjustable delay time and
an LED illuminates. If programmed accordingly, the engine is shut down. The input lock allows the
clear identification of the cause of error and requires an active acknowledgement of the fault message.
If you use an HMCflex unit at the wood chopper, the draw-in shaft is also stopped when the chop
blade speed drops. The draw-in function can be also deactivated with a key function. For reasons of
personnel protection, the reverse mode is first activated when the manually-stopped draw-in function
is restarted.
The two-line display visualises important operational parameters in addition to the engine operating
hours.
Other parameters can be displayed using a customised software.
