measurements, the status of the Mains and Generator, the maintenance timers and parameters.
2. Alarm LED: This LED indicates that there is an alarm in the system. When the LED is blinking the alarm is
active, when the LED is continuously lit this means the alarm is not active.
3. Generator Status LED: This LED will be continuously lit if the values of the Generator (Oil pressure, RPM,
Voltage, Frequency, Charge Voltage etc.) are stable within the limits defined by the parameters. In the case
where the engine is cranked and the Alternator Started signal is received by the AMF, this LED will blink for
the time period set by “P018 – General Failure Delay Timer”.
4. Generator Contactor Status LED: This LED indicates the status of the Generator contactor. If it is
continuously lit, the Generator contactor is energized. If the LED is not lit, the Generator contactor is de-
energized.
5. Mains Contactor Status LED: This LED indicates the status of the Mains contactor. If it is continuously lit,
the Mains contactor is energized. If the LED is not lit then the Mains contactor is de-energized.
6. Mains Status LED: Indicates whether or not the Mains exists.
• In MANUAL and OFF Operation Mode: If there is a Mains failure, the LED is switched off
immediately. In the case where the Mains is normal, the LED is lit immediately.
• In AUTO and TEST Operation Mode: If there is a Mains failure, the LED will blink for the time period
specified by “P039 – Mains Failure Delay Timer”, and at the end of this time period the LED will
switch off. In the case where the Mains returns back to normal, the LED will start blinking for the time
period specified by “P038 – Mains Stabilization Timer”, and at the end of this time period the LED will
constantly remain lit.
Caution: If there is a failure in the system, the Mains Status LED acts as it would in OFF
operation mode.

7. TEST Button LED: Indicates that the AMF is in TEST operation mode.
8. MANUAL Button LED: Indicates that the AMF is in MANUAL operation mode.
9. AUTO Button LED: Indicates that the AMF is in AUTO operation mode.
10. OFF Button LED: Indicates that the AMF is in OFF operation mode.

6 - OPERATION MODES
Automatic Operation Mode: When the AUTO button is pressed the Generator enters the Automatic operation
mode. In this mode, 3 phases of the Mains is constantly monitored according to the configured parameter values
shown below.
P036 Mains Voltage Failure Lower Limit
P037 Mains Voltage Failure Upper Limit
P040 Mains Frequency Failure Lower Limit
P041 Mains Frequency Failure Upper Limit

When the Mains is normal, the Load is supplied by the Mains. If the monitored values of the Mains are outside the
limits set by the related parameters and the time period specified by the “P039 – Mains Failure Delay Timer” has
passed, it means there is a Mains failure. In this case the Mains contactor is opened and the Generator is started.
Once the Generator has started, the unit will wait for the time period set by the “P018 – General Failure Delay Timer”
and will check for any failures. Then, after waiting for the time period set by “P006 – Generator Contact Delay Timer”,
the Generator contactor will be closed and the Load is transferred to the Generator.
Once the monitored values of the Mains are back and stays within the limits set by the related parameters for the time
period set by the “P005 – Mains Contact Delay Timer”, the Mains contactor will be closed and the Load is transferred
to the Mains. In the case where the Generator has supplied the Load since the engine started, the engine will be
cooled down for the time period set by “P007 – Engine Cool-down Timer”. If the Generator has not supplied the Load
since the engine started, the Generator will be stopped without cooling down. In the Automatic operation mode, if the
AMF unit is receiving a signal that the Generator is running although it is not supposed to, the AMF will try to stop the
Generator.

Test Operation Mode: When the TEST Button I pressed the Generator enters the Test operation mode and the
Generator will start without checking the Mains. If the Mains exists at the moment the Generator is started, the Load
will be supplied by the Mains. In the case where there is no Mains when the Generator is started and the parameter
“P008 – Test On-load Mode” is active (if =1), the Generator contactor will be closed and the Load will be supplied by
the Generator at the end of the time periods set by “P018 – General Failure Delay Timer” and “P006 – Generator
Contact Delay Timer”. If the parameter “P008 – Test On-load Mode” is not active (if =0) the Generator is run off-load.

Manual Operation Mode: When the MAN Button is pressed the Generator enters the Manual operation mode. In
this mode, starting the engine, stopping the engine, opening and closing the contactors of the
Generator and the Mains is manually done by the user via their respective buttons.

Off Operation Mode: When the OFF Button is pressed the Generator enters the Off operation mode. If the
engine is running, by pressing the OFF Button once the engine will be cooled down then stopped, by pressing the
OFF Button for the second time the fuel valve output is energized and the engine is stopped immediately. The AMF
will wait for the time period set by “P007 – Engine Cool-down Timer” for the engine to completely stop (No Engine
Running Feedback Signal). If the engine does not stop, an “Engine Start/Stop Failure” is indicated. Off operation
mode disables the AMF. If the parameter “P010 – Failure Check in Off Mode” is not active the AMF will not check for
failures in Off mode. While the AMF is in Off operation mode the measurement screen and menu can still be actively
used. By pressing the OFF Button twice, the backlight of the LCD will be switched off.

9 - FAILURE STRUCTURE
The AMF 3.4L has a separate classification for each alarm. These classifications determine how the AMF will respond
when a failure occurs. This allows the user to coordinate the Generator in the desired way when a failure occurs in the
system. There are 6 alarm classifications.

ñ A Class: Only the alarm code is displayed on the status bar of the screen.
ñ B Class: Alarm code is displayed on status bar + Alarm output is energized.
ñ C Class: Alarm code is displayed on status bar + Alarm output is energized + Generator contactor is opened.
ñ D Class: Alarm code is displayed on status bar + Alarm output is energized + Generator contactor is opened
+ Engine is cooled-down then stopped.
ñ E Class: Alarm code is displayed on the status bar + Alarm output is energized + Generator contactor is
opened + Engine is instantly stopped.
ñ F Class: Alarm code is displayed on the status bar + Alarm output is energized + Generator contactor is
opened + Engine is instantly stopped + Mains contactor is opened.

PE269   Over  Current  Failure  Check  

PE270   Over  Current  Failure  Class  
PE271   Over  Current  Failure  Delay  
PE272   Over  Current  Failure  Value  
PE273   Over  Current  Failure  Auto-­‐acknowledge  

The list above shows the parameters related to Over Current Failure. P269 indicates wether or not there is an Over
Current Failure active in the system (if =1, active). P270 indicates the classification of the Over Current Failure. P271
indicates the time delay for this failure to occur. If the current value is above the value set by P272 for the time period
set by P271, then an Over Current Failure occurs in the system.

The P273 parameter activates the auto-acknowledge function (if =1, active). This means that the conditions causing
the related failure are back to normal, the alarm will be automatically resetted. In order for the alarm to be reset, the
current value must drop below the hysteresis value of P272.

• Emergency Stop (=12): If the input is activated, the AMF signals an “EMERGENCY STOP” alarm.

• Remote Start (=13): If the input is activated, the engine will be started. If not active, the engine will be
stopped.

• GCB Contact Feedback (=14): Receives feedback from the GCB and checks for open and closed
conditions.

• MCB Contact Feedback (=15): Receives feedback from the MCB and checks for open and closed
conditions.

• GCB Disabled (=16): If the input is activated, the GCB will be opened.

• MCB Disabled (=17): If the input is activated, the MCB will be opened.

• Earthquake Sensor (=18): If the input is activated, the AMF signals a “SEISMIC FAILURE” alarm. This is
always an F type alarm.

• Panel Key Lock (=19): If the input is activated, all the buttons on the control panel will be disabled.

• No Mains (=20): If the input is activated, the AMF accepts the Mains as non-existing regardless of the
voltage and frequency values.

10.1.2 - Digital Input (1...8) Alarm Classification: If the input function is selected as an alarm, this parameter
determines what classification the alarm will have (Refer to 8-FAILURE STRUCTURE). When the input is assigned
functions like “Remote Start” or “Mains Exists”, this parameter has no use.

10.1.3 - Digital Input (1...8) Delay: If the input stays active during the time period set by this parameter, the input is
activated and executes whatever function is assigned.

10.1.4 - Digital Input (1...8) Alarm Auto-acknowledge: If this parameter is active, when the input causing the alarm
is switched from active to passive position the alarm is automatically acknowledged.

10.1.5 - Digital Input (1...8) Polarite: This parameter is set according to wether the contact connected to the input is
Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).

10.1.6 - Digital Input (1...8) Check: This parameter is used only when the digital input is selected as an alarm input.
When this parameter is set to “0” it is not active, when “1” continuous alarm check is active, when “2” input is activated
once engine is running.
