IDENTIFY/SELECT STANDBY
CIRCUITS
IDENTIFY THE BASIC NEEDS
It is very important to understand what items the home owner
wants powered by the HSB during a utility failure. The selection
of these items will indicate which circuits will be selected for
connection to the ATS so that they are powered by the HSB.
Unforeseen power outages can last from minutes to days, so
it is important to focus circuit selections on those that power
household items that are deemed essential and within the output
capability of the HSB
An authorized or certi
fi
ed dealer or electrician can come to your
home and measure the loads with a clamp-on AMP meter which
would provide accurate load demands for each circuit tested.
Once you have identi
fi
ed the customer needs, you can
properly size the HSB by referring to the sizing guide provided
by Champion, www.championpowerequipment.com or call
Champion 1-877-338-0999.
Circuits must be protected by the same size breaker. For
example, a 15 amp 120 volt circuit in the ATS will replace a
15 amp 120 volt circuit in the main utility distribution panel.
When tied together or backed up, the breakers must be the same
size.
SURGE PROTECTION
!
CAUTION
Voltage
fl
uctuation 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
fl
uctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage
fl
uctuations,
you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
1. 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
fl
uctuations
HOUR METER & OVER VOLTAGE
PROTECTION
HOUR METER
The hour meter keeps track of all running time of the HSB. This
includes run time during a utility power outage and during the
weekly exercise cycle. This provides the owner with a record
of operating time which is useful in keeping track of scheduled
maintenance intervals. Refer to the scheduled maintenance chart
in your Owner’s Manual for speci
fi
c maintenance.
The hour meter can’t be reset. The initial time registered on the
meter when
fi
rst started up (installed) will re
fl
ect the factory test
time, this is a normal industry standard. The hour meter only
re
fl
ects hours, it does not re
fl
ect RPMs or any other function.
There are 2 pin connectors, both have positive locking
connections for correct orientation. Refer to wiring diagram in the
owner’s or installation manual of your speci
fi
c model.
1 has a 3 point connector, top is B = Black wire (Gen-AC, L1),
center is not used, bottom connector is R = Red wire (L2).
The other is a 2 point connector, top is W = White (B+ on Engine
Relay Module), bottom is G = Green (B- on Engine Relay Module).
OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
The OVP is a relay that protects the controls of the HSB from an
over voltage situation. By monitoring the voltage output from the
generator within pre-determined, factory set parameters, the
OVP can close off the path of voltage, should the voltage exceed
the limit. Should this occur the HSB system is protected from a
potential overload situation, turns off and shuts down the HSB.
There are 2 pin connectors, both have positive locking
connections for correct orientation. Refer to wiring diagram in the
owner’s or installation manual of your speci
fi
c unit.
The square 4 pin connector, top left position, G = Green wire
(Ground), bottom right L/B = Blue/Black (Ignition coil), top right is
not used.
The rectangle 3 pin connector, top position, R = RED wire (L2),
middle is not used, bottom is W = WHITE (Neutral).
