Single Gen-set Solutions

ComAp's MRS (Manual or Remote Start) family of controllers allows you to effectively operate, monitor and control a single gen-set, either manually on the gen-set itself or remotely by using an internet-enabled device (smartphone, tablet or PC). Featuring extensive reporting and performance logs, with full gen-set monitoring and protection, the MRS family of controllers also has a range of plug-in extension modules available, which enable I/O upgrades and additional communication options.


ComAp's AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) family of controllers allows you to effectively operate, monitor and control a single gen-set operating in standby mode. As well as full gen-set monitoring and protection, outstanding EFI engine support and extensive reporting, it also includes performance logs. The AMF family of controllers has a range of plug-in extension modules available, which enable I/O upgrades and additional communication options.


FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a single gen-set controller?

A single gen-set controller is a device that manages the non-paralleling operation of one generator set. It monitors performance, provides protection, and ensures reliable start, stop and control functions.

What is the difference between MRS and AMF controllers?

MRS (Manual or Remote Start) controllers are used for prime power or simple standby applications where the generator is started manually or remotely. AMF (Automatic Mains Failure) controllers include smart control features that automatically start the generator in case of a mains power outage, ensuring seamless backup power.

What are the benefits of using ComAp’s gen-set controllers?

ComAp’s generator control solutions provide smart control for reliable performance. They feature full system monitoring and protection, advanced reporting, and flexible configuration. With optional plug-in modules, operators can expand I/O and communication capabilities to suit specific project needs.

Can I monitor and control my generator remotely?

Yes. Our gen-set controllers support remote monitoring and control via internet-enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. This allows you to access generator data, manage alarms, and optimise operation from anywhere.

Do ComAp’s control modules support different engine types?

Yes. ComAp’s control units provide outstanding support for both conventional and EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) engines, offering flexibility across a wide range of generator applications.

How do I choose the right gen-set controller?

The best controller depends on your application. For simple prime power or rental power, an MRS controller may be sufficient. For standby power applications where mains failure must be detected automatically, an AMF controller is recommended. Our team can help you select the right generator control solution for your needs.
