Product catalog summary
Overview
The AMF COMPACT is an advanced Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) genset controller designed for standby diesel or gas gensets. It provides automatic management of transfer switches during mains failure, along with comprehensive monitoring, control, and protection of engines, alternators, and power bus bars. The system is noted for its flexibility, ease of wiring, and comprehensive feature set.

Control and Management
The system offers complete engine control for various genset types, including diesel, gasoline, and gas. It supports multiple starter management, warmup and cooldown processes, remote start, and test modes. It is compatible with J1939 electronic engines and includes mains failure detection with adjustable load transfer time. Additional features include non-essential load control, battery boost management, and configurable maintenance cycles.

Displayed Information
The AMF COMPACT displays critical engine parameters such as oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery voltage. It also provides generator electrical parameters including voltage, current, frequency, and power factors. Mains electrical parameters are also monitored, and the system logs faults and alarms with timestamps.

Electrical Protections
The system includes comprehensive electrical protections for both generators and mains, adhering to ANSI codes for frequency, voltage, current, and power protections.

Breakers Control
Features adjustable pulses or latched contacts for breaker operations, with MN/MX coil management.

Events Logger
Capable of logging 1350 faults and alarms with timestamps in nonvolatile memory. The last 30 logged alarms and 15 active alarms are accessible via the front panel display.

Programming Features
Includes alternative selection for parameter modification, a scheduler for specific functions, and Easyflex programming for custom applications. The system supports automatic firmware updates and Modbus TCP communication.

Remote Supervision
With the BSD 2.0 module, users can remotely monitor and control gensets, receive alert messages, and access geolocation and geo-fencing features.

Specifications
The AMF COMPACT supports various electrical systems and includes multiple inputs and outputs for comprehensive control. It operates within a wide temperature range and complies with several directives for EMC, electrical safety, and environmental conditions.

Hardware and Display
Available in switchboard panel mounted or core base mounted versions, compatible with the i4GEN touchscreen display. The display provides intuitive control and monitoring capabilities.

Associated Products
Includes references for related products such as the i4GEN touchscreen display, I/O expansion modules, and communication cables.
