2 System Overview
2.1 General description
NT
The InteliNano AMF is an Automatic Mains Fail controller for single generating sets operating in
NT
stand-by mode. The InteliNano supports electronic engines.
NT
InteliNano controllers are equipped with an intuitive graphic display, which together with extensive
functionality, set the new standard in gen-set controls.
NT
The InteliNano AMF automatically starts the gen-set, opens the MCB and closes the GCB upon
mains failure. When the mains is restored, the controller automatically opens the GCB, closes the
MCB, and stops the engine.
NT
InteliNano supports diesel and gas engines.
NT
The key features of InteliNano are easy installation and intuitive operation. Users may chose
between predefined configurations for typical applications and user-defined configurations for special
applications.
2.2 Configurability
One of the key features of the controller is high level of adaptability to the needs of every particular
application. This customization is accomplished in the configuration.
NOTE:
Use NanoEdit PC software to the read configuration from the controller or disk, view it, modify it, and
write the configuration to the controller or disk.
The firmware contains large number of binary inputs and outputs for all available. Configuration will
be determined by application and hardware constraints. One of main tasks of the configuration is
mapping of "logical" firmware inputs and outputs to the "physical" hardware input and output terminals.
1. Mapping of logical binary and analog inputs (functions) to physical binary input terminals
2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals
3. Assigning sensor characteristics
4. Selecting of ECU type if an ECU is connected
The controller is delivered with a default configuration, which should fit most standard
applications. The default configuration can be changed from controller’s front panel or by using PC
and NanoEdit software. See NanoEdit documentation for details.
NOTE:
For connection with PC use integrated USB module. The controller can be powered directly from USB
communication port. In this case the LCD backlight is turned off and all outputs are open
Once the configuration is modified (using PC) it can be stored in a file for reference or use with
another controller. This configuration file is called the archive and has file extension ".ain". If the
archive is saved while the PC is online with the controller, it will contain a full image (setpoints,
measured values, and history log ) of the controller at the moment of saving (except firmware).
The archive can then be used for the cloning of controllers, which means preparing controllers with
identical configuration and settings.

3.3 True RMS measurement
This controller measures AC values based on True RMS principle. This principle corresponds exactly
to the physical definition of alternating voltage effective values. Under normal circumstances the mains
voltage should have a pure sinusoidal waveform. However some nonlinear elements connected to the
mains produce harmonic waveforms with frequencies of multiplies of the basic mains frequency and
this may result in deformation of the voltage waveforms. The True RMS measurement gives accurate
readings of effective values not only for pure sinusoidal waveforms, but also for deformed waveforms.

4 Installation and wiring
4.1 Mounting
The controller is to be mounted onto the switchboard or genset control panel door. Mounting cut-out
size is 96x96mm. Use the screw holders included with the controller to mount the controller into the

4.4 Power supply
To ensure proper function:
2
It is strictly recommended to use power supply cable 2,5mm !
NT
Maximum continuous DC power supply voltage is 36 VDC. The InteliNano ’s power supply terminals
are protected against large pulse power disturbances. When there is a potential risk of the controller
being subjected to conditions outside its capabilities, an outside protection devise should be used.
NT
For the connections with 12VDC power supply, the InteliNano includes internal capacitors that allow
the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip occurs. If the voltage
before drop is 10V, after 100ms the voltage recovers to 5 V, the controller continues operating.

Figure 4.3
RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLY WIRING
The capacitor size should be 5 000 µF to withstand 150ms voltage dip under following conditions:
Voltage before the drop is 12V, after 150ms the voltage recovers to min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8V.
13
4.4.1 Power supply fusing
A 15-amp fuse should be connected in-line with the battery positive terminal to the controller and
modules. The controller should never be connected directly to the starting battery.
Fuse value and type depends on number of connected devices and wire length.
Recommended fuse (not fast) type - T15A. Not fast due to internal capacitors charging during
power up.

7.1 Normally Open Contact
Normally Open Contact represents a standard opened contact – no voltage on output terminal and no
passing current from/to binary input terminal. When the contact is opened the controller reads logical 0
(L) on the binary input. When contact is closed the controller reads a logical 1 (H).
In this case 0V on the binary output represents a logical 0 (L) Battery positive voltage on the output
represents a logical 1 (H).
In this case 0V on binary output represents a logical 1 (H). Battery positive voltage on the output
represents a logical 0 (L).

Hint:
T07 T07 is input-output terminal. Primarily it is configured as an output. To configure as an input,
assign the function O00 Not Used in the output configuration.
This input will activate the built-in Emergency Stop alarm. It is recommended to use a Normally
Close button for this input.
If this binary input is activated, the left red LED above Stop button will blink, the general shutdown
symbol will be displayed on LCD’s upper right corner, Emergenc Stop symbol will be displayed on
event log with running hours stamp and shut down procedure will occur. For more details see
Shutdown procedure in chapter 12 Alarm, Events and History Management.
CAUTION!
This is a software function only.
NOTE:
The Remote Start/stop can be configured only on terminal T11 This is also used for waking the
controller from “Zero Power” mode.
In AMF mode this input starts the engine and transfers the load to the generator after all engine and
generator parameters are within tolerance (open MCB and close GCB). When this input is
deactivated the controller will transfer the load back to mains and stop the engine.
In MRS mode this input starts engine and closes the GCB (only when is configured). When this input
is deactivated the controller will open the breaker (only when is configured) and stop the engine.
NOTE:
The Remote Start And Load can be configured only on terminal T11. This is also used for waking
the controller from “Zero Power” mode.

I04 Access Lock
9.2.3
When this input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted from controller’s front panel and gen-set
mode (Manual - Auto) cannot be changed.
Access Lock does not protect setpoints and mode changing from NanoEdit. Also history is
accessible.
Access Lock is also functionless in case that the controller is in setup mode.
When this input is closed, the automatic start of the gen-set at Mains failure is blocked. If the gen-set
is running, the GCB is opened, and gen-set stops. This input doesn’t affect the mains circuit breaker.
This input indicates whether MCB is closed or opened. Available only in AMF mode.
MCB position is indicated on the mains screen when feedback is configured.
Wrong breaker / contactor position is indicated on mains screen also.
This is an input from the generator circuit breaker. If the input is active, the controller will consider the
GCB as closed and vice versa. If the GCB is not in expected position, the alarm GCB Fail will occur.
For more details see Shutdown procedure in chapter 12 Alarm, Events and History Management.
NOTE:
The feedback time limit is 5s.

For ECU configuration you have to use PC software NanoEdit. It is impossible to configure ECU via
controller’s front fascia.
If ECU is configured simultaneously with analog inputs (Fuel Level Analog, Oil Pressure Analog,
Coolant Temperature Analog) value from analog measurement will be displayed and used for
protection.
If ECU is configured simultaneously with binary inputs (Low Fuel Level, Low Oil Pressure, High
Coolant Temperature) value from ECU will be displayed. For protections is used value from ECU and
binary input signal. For more detail see example.
