AMF CONTROLLER WIRING DIAGRAM PDF

The AMF controller directly interfaces with the alternator, the engine, the mains, and ancillary general-purpose input-outputs.

THE AMF CONTROLLER OUTPUTS

You can observe that this AMF controller does not need flywheel diodes. The outputs are static NPN that includes Schottky barrier diodes. The outputs are connected via a removable 8-pin connector, namely [JC]. The outputs are designed to drive automotive relays at 12V or 24.

WHY STATIC OUTPUTS?

The AMF controller works on the topper layer of the automation system. A reliable AMF controller must not include relays. There are many reasons. Firstly, relays are subject to damage. So it is better to have external relays on sockets. In case of failure, you can replace a relay in 5 minutes. You cannot afford to replace an entire AMF controller for the sake of one broken relay. Secondly, you must use a considerable wire gauge in case of high currents. This is not a good idea considering that the controller is normally placed on the frontal door of the electrical cabinet. Thirdly, using removable relays, you can carry out troubleshooting. e stopped manufacturing AMF controllers with embedded relays in 2001. We had extraordinarily good results.
