Lovato 31 Rgam 12 User Manual Page
| Error Code | Meaning | Likely Cause & Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Loss of phase L1 on Mains | Blown fuse, loose wire, or utility outage. Check terminal 1. | | Err 04 | Generator frequency too low | Generator engine speed too low. Check governor. | | Err 08 | Phase rotation error | L1, L2, L3 are not in correct sequence. Swap any two phases on the input side. | | Err 12 | Emergency stop active | The external E-stop button is pressed or the NC contact is open. Check terminals 22-24. | | Err 19 | Internal memory failure | Replace the controller. This is hardware failure. | | Err 24 | Generator failed to start | The controller sent a start signal (out 15-16), but after T2+T3, no voltage was sensed on L1’-L3’. Check fuel, battery, and starter motor. |
This article is designed to serve as a complete resource for owners, electricians, and maintenance technicians seeking information about this specific automatic transfer switch. Introduction In the world of industrial and commercial power control, reliability is non-negotiable. The Lovato 31 RGAM 12 is a cornerstone component in automatic mains failure (AMF) panels and generator transfer systems. As a sophisticated automatic transfer switch controller, it monitors two power sources (typically Mains/Grid and Generator) and automatically transfers the load to the healthy source. lovato 31 rgam 12 user manual
| Parameter | Description | Typical Value | Why it matters | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Mains undervoltage threshold | 184V (for 230V nominal) | Prevents transfer when grid voltage sags. | | P03 | Mains return delay (Timer T1) | 60 seconds | Ensures the grid is stable before re-transfer. | | P05 | Generator starting delay (Timer T2) | 5 seconds | Gives the generator time to start before the controller tries to transfer. | | P07 | Generator stabilization delay (Timer T3) | 10 seconds | Allows generator voltage/frequency to stabilize. | | P10 | Generator stop delay (Timer T4) | 180 seconds | Cool-down period for the generator after load is removed. | | P15 | Remote test enable | 1 (Enabled) | Allows a remote switch to simulate a mains failure. | | P22 | Display language | English / Italian | Sets the LCD text language. | | Error Code | Meaning | Likely Cause
