AMF2.0 automatic mains failure unit is a microprocessor based digital unit monitoring the 3 
phases of the mains and controls the changeover of mains and generator contactors if a mains 
failure  on  any  phase  is  detected.  The  module  offers  a  very  cost  effective  and  space  saving 
solutions  as  it  is  able  to  display  all  the  parameters  which  are  essential  for  the  basic  gen-set 
control.  The  module  has  3  operation  modes.Stop,  test  and  Auto  operation  modes  can  be 
chosen via the push-buttons mounted on the front panel. While the module is in Stop mode, if 
the  menu  button  is  pressed,  the  41  parameter  settings,  which  are  used  for  controlling  the 
generator, can be adjusted. So the module can be adapted to all the generator without the need 
of any other unit or module.
