aXis CONTROLLER HOME STANDBY GENERATOR

INSTALLATION

28

Final inspection may require the installation of an emergency 
shut down switch, installed and located where Home Standby 
Generator Engine (prime mover) can be shut down instantly.

Verify that the (4) Pre-installed 14-2 conductor lugs are free of 
corrosion and are fully fastened and spaced properly. Make sure 
conductor wires are labeled and/or marked accordingly.

 

CAUTION

Use a torque wrench to tighten conductors, being sure not to 
overtighten, or damage to the switch base could occur. If not 
tightened properly, a loose connection would result, causing 
excess heat which could damage the switch base.

 

NOTICE

The aXis Controller™ module is not compatible with standard 
Automatic Transfer Switches 100947, 100950, 100952, 
101283, and 101380.

Utility Circuit and Generator Power Connections

Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the maximum current 
to which they will be subjected to, based on the 75 degrees 
C column of tables, charts, etc. used to size conductors. The 
installation must comply fully with all applicable codes standards 
and regulations.

Surge protection

 

CAUTION

Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper functioning of 
sensitive electronic equipment.

Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable 
appliances use components that are designed to operate within a 
narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage 
fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, 
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.

Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge suppressors on the 
outlets feeding your sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come 
in single or multi-outlet styles. They’re designed to protect against 
virtually all short-duration voltage fluctuations.

AVR = Automatic Voltage Regulator

The AVR is an electrical or electronic device that maintains the 
voltage of a power source within predetermined limits. AVR is a 
regulator that automatically keeps voltage within the prescribed 
range required by the electrical equipment that will be provided 
power by the HSB. The AVR uses solid-state semiconductor 
devices to smooth out variations in the flow of current.

The AVR monitors the output voltage and controls the input 
voltage to the exciter of the generator. By increasing or decreasing 
the generator control voltage, the output voltage of the generator 
increases or decreases accordingly. The AVR calculates how 
much voltage has to be sent to exciter numerous times a second, 
therefore stabilizing the output voltage to a predetermined set 
point.

There are 3 connectors that come from the AVR. For reference we 
have numbered them 1, 2, and 3 when viewed right to left.

1. 

Connector #1

 (far left), has 4 leads. The 2 leads on the right 

side of the connector (top & bottom) are BLUE. They run to 
the excitation windings on the stator. The 2 leads on the left 
side of the connector (top & bottom) are GREEN (top) and 
WHITE (bottom), they run to the sampling windings of the 
stator.
