1 OVERVIEW
ALC700 series controllers are used for automation and monitor control systems of single light
tower unit to achieve scheduled start/stop, sunrise and sunset start/stop, SMS message
remote start/stop as well as start/stop genset via remote input port.
ALC700 series controllers can be used for turning on and off the flashlights of the light tower in
proper order and is compatible with both AC and DC light tower sets. The modules are digital,
smart and networked and enjoy precise data measurement, alarm protection as well as remote
control, remote measuring and remote communication functions.
ALC700 series controllers adopt micro-processor technology and combine automation control
function with flashlights control function into one product. They have LCD display, selectable
Chinese/English languages interface, modular design, compact structure and simple
connections. They can be widely used in all types of automatic light tower set with compact
structure, advanced circuits, and high reliability.

duration time, sunrise time and sunset time can be set by users as their wish.
SMS message function (GSM modem must be fitted). When failure occurs, controller will
send short messages automatically to max. 5 telephone numbers. Besides, users can
remote start/stop light tower set via SMS message.
Remote start function. Set arbitrary input port as Remote Start Input and controller enters
into remote start mode, then users can remote start/stop light tower set by remote
close/open input port.
Manual start/stop control of light tower set and manual on/off control of flashlight.
Standard RS485 communication port enables remote control, remote measuring,
and
Standard USB communication port makes it easier to communicate with PC and faster to

SENSORS SETTING
1. When reselect sensors, the sensor curve will be transferred into the standard value. For
example, if temperature sensor is SGX (120C resistor type), its sensor curve is SGX
(120C resistor type); if select the SGD (120C resistor type), the temperature sensor
curve is SGD curve.
2. When there is difference between standard sensor curves and using sensor, user can
adjust it in curve type.
3. When input the sensor curve, X value (resistor) must be input from small to large, otherwise,
mistake occurs.
4. If select sensor type as None, sensor curve is not working.
5. If corresponding sensor has alarm switch only, user must set this sensor as None,
otherwise, maybe there is shutdown or warning.
6. The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as same as below,

13.4 AC INPUT
Current input of ALC700 controller must be connected to outside current transformer. And the
current transformers secondary side current must be 5A. At the same time, the phases of
current transformer and input voltage must correct. Otherwise, the current of collecting and
active power maybe not correct.
NOTE: ICOM port must be connected to negative pole of battery.
WARNING! When there is load current, transformers secondary side prohibit open
circuit.

FAULT FINDING
Here are the common faults and troubleshooting. If there is any other problem, please feel free
to contact Smartgens service.
Symptoms
Controller no response with
power.
Light tower set shutdown
Possible Solutions
Check starting batteries;
Check controller connection wirings;
Check DC fuse.
Check the water/cylinder temperature is too high or not;
Check the generator AC voltage;
Check DC fuse.
Check emergence stop button is correct or not;
Check whether the starting battery positive be connected with
