  INTRODUCTION
The Mini-Futuro is a user friendly & futuristic “ AUTO MAINS FAILURE SOLUTION” for Single phase Generator sets. Mini-futuro is designed using latest Micro- controller technology to achieve reliable and accurate START/STOP Operation of GEN-SET, AUTO LOAD CHANGEOVER from MAINS to GEN-SET & Vice versa and FAULT
ANNUNCIATION for SAFETY of Gen-set. Mini-futuro is innovatively designed keeping user’s point of view in forefront there by achieving reduced number of components, more reliability, very good accuracy & interlocks and excellent flexibility. Due to less number of components, major part of cost & time required for fabrication & testing are saved, thus making Mini-futuro economically viable to use it for Single phase Generator sets.
  OPERATION
For 1-Phase model-Mini- futuro works on terminal voltage of i.e. 12V or 24V. It senses mains supply & gives starting pulses to Gen-Set starter (Start Solenoid) , when Mains Voltage( in-built ) goes below the set limit. Mini futuro gives three attempts to start the Engine with ON & OFF Time intervals (Settable on front). If Engine dose not starts within three attempts, an alarm for “SET FAILS TO START” will come. If Engine starts, but Alternator dose not develop the voltage or it is not reaching to the panel (due to fuse fail or cable fault ) “Alternator Fail” will come.
After Gen-set starts, it develops its rated voltage, then the power is supplied to load from Gen-set. During Engine running period, if any fault on the Engine side occurs, Gen-set will be stopped automatically and fault is indicated by a respective fault LED & buzzer. Fault can be acknowledged by pressing ACCEPT push button. When fault is acknowledged the buzzer stops but the fault LED remains ON. After fault rectification and resetting the system the Gen. set will started once again. 
When mains supply resumes, the load is changed-over to mains instantly, and the Engine also gets stop command through DG Stop Contacts after pre-decided idle run time (settable on front).
The Mini Futuro is designed in such a way that Manual Mode operation is not required. However for manual operation, the control supply is to be disconnected & Gen-set shall be started externally Load Change over will anyway happen without DC Supply .
For 3-Phase model-The three phase model is designed to give automatic DG start-stop & fault annunciation only. The mains sensing is done by a potential free contacts from any mains sensing device like VR3-4R (three phase voltage relay). The Load changeover will have to be designed externally.
