ALTERNATOR OVERVIEW
The alternator is made up with the following major components;
1. Brush holder assembly
2. Rear bearing carrier
3. 2 pole rotor (all copper wire)
4. Stator assembly (all copper wire)
5. Engine adapter
ROTOR ASSEMBLY
The alternator has a 2-pole rotor, which means the rotor has
a single south magnetic pole and a single north magnetic
pole. As the rotor spins, its magnetic field passes through the
stator assembly windings and voltage is induced into the stator
windings. This is known as induction. The rotor shaft has a
negative (-) slip ring and a positive (+) slip ring, with the negative
(-) nearest the bearing carrier. The rotor shaft is held in place
with single through bolt.
STATOR ASSEMBLY
The stator houses, AC power windings and excitation windings.
It is held in place with 4 bolts that pass through the bearing
carrier and engine adapter, then attached to the engine mounting
flange. In combination with the rotor assembly, they generate the
electrical out-put of the HSB.
BRUSH HOLDER AND BRUSHES
The brush holder is a component that holds the brushes in a
stationary position enabling them to maintain contact with the
rotating surface commutator rings on the rotor. The brush holder
is attached to the rear bearing carrier by means of a M5 x 20
bolt and a location tab. A negative (-) brush and a positive (+)
brush are retained in the brush holder. The negative (-) brush
rides on the slip ring nearest the bearing carrier. The brushes are
spring loaded to maintain contact.
A RED wire connects to the positive (+) brush and a BLACK
wire to the negative (-) brush. Rectified and regulated excitation
current, as well as current from the field boost circuit, are
delivered to the rotor windings via the RED wire, and the positive
(+) brush and slip ring. The excitation and field boost current
passes through the windings and to the frame ground via the
negative (-) slip ring and brush, and the BLACK wire.
The current flow creates a magnetic field around the rotor having
a flux concentration that is proportional to the amount of current
flow.

INSTALLATION
Champion HSB units have been run and tested at the
factory prior to shipment. They do not require any type of
break-in period.
GENERATOR SIZING
Proper sizing is crucial to ensure that you purchase a model that
will supply enough power to your home during a power outage.
You need to determine the extent of the devices and appliances
you need to power. Remember that when you have lost power
(utility) at your home, you probably will not run every device or
appliance. Understanding that each device or appliance has an
electric consumption value generally referenced to as wattage or
kilowatts. There are a number of other factors to include of which
these two are important; continuous (running) watts and peak
(start-up) watts.
Continuous (running) watts is the amount of watts utilized
by the device or appliance while it is running and providing you
service.
Peak (start-up) watts is the requirement of the device or
appliance to start or kick-in. In others words, the amount of
power (watts) needed to start a device or appliance to initially get
the motors driving, requires additional power. Like your car, when
you accelerate to a specific speed the engine requires more
power to move your vehicle, once you have achieved the desired
speed your car is now in the running mode and can cruise along
at a maintained level at a lower RPM. The system doesn’t require
as much power for steady performance just getting there.
Most calculators or sizing guides add 20% and provide you with
an average usage to cover Continuous (running) and Peak (start-
up) wattage. This additional compensation is also for differing
wattage ratings among devices or appliances. Most devices or
appliances carry tags that reflect wattage usage and you could
find each label/tag and add them together to find a starting point
to the size of generator you would like to have.
Generators have built in limitations of output power (available
wattage or kilowatts). The rating output of the generator is listed
as Watts or kW (kilowatts). One thousand (1,000) watts is equal
to 1kW (kilowatt). Portable generators are generally smaller in
output and are mobile. HSB (home stand by) generators are
stationary or permanently mounted. The larger the unit the larger
the unit cost and installation costs. Example, most portable
generators are rated in WATTS and HSB (home stand by) are
rated in kW (kilowatts). 8000 watts is not more than 8kW, it’s
the same output. The larger the RATING the more output wattage
or kW you have available to power your home. The more output
equals move devices or appliances you may power.
There is a HSB sizing guide on Champion web,
www.championpowerequipment.com.
Before installing the generator, review SAFETY section starting
on page 8.
Have the generator installed by an authorized CPE dealer. Install
the equipment in compliance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes. This could include electrical and fuel
supply permits and certified installers. For Canadian installations,
refer to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
This generator is designed to be installed outdoors only.
Before installing the generator, obtain a building permit and
contact your local utility companies to mark the locations of
underground cables and pipes.

PLACEMENT & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES FOR CHAMPION HOME
STANDBY GENERATORS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD NFPA 37
REQUIREMENTS AND TESTING
REQUIREMENTS:
NFPA 37 2010, section 4.1.4, Engines Located Outdoors.
Engines, and their weatherproof housings if provided, that are
installed outdoors shall be located at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from
openings in walls and at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) from structures
having combustible walls. A minimum separation shall not be
required where either of the following conditions exist:
1. The adjacent wall of the structure has a fire resistance
rating of at least 1 hour.
2. The weatherproof enclosure is constructed of
noncombustible materials and has been demonstrated
that a fire within the enclosure will not ignite combustible
materials outside the enclosure.
ANNEX A EXPLANATORY MATERIAL
A.4.1.2 (2) Means of demonstrating compliance are by means of
full-scale fire tests or by calculating procedures, such as those
given in NFPA 555, Guide on Methods for Evaluating Potential for
Room Flashover.
To comply with condition 2 the weatherproof enclosure has
been constructed of non-combustible materials and full-scale
fire tests have been performed to demonstrate that a fire within
the enclosure will not ignite combustible materials outside the
enclosure.
Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37, Sec.
4.1.4, the guidelines for installation of the Champion home
standby generator are changed to 17.7 inches (45 cm) from
the backside of the generator to a combustible wall. All
other location and distances remain the same as noted in the
Operators and Installation manuals.
These guidelines are based upon fire testing of the generator
enclosure and Champion’s requirement for air flow for proper
operation. Local codes may be different and more restrictive.

NFPA® 37 STANDARD FOR THE INSTALLATION AND USE OF STATIONARY COMBUSTION ENGINES AND GAS TURBINE
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard NFPA 37 establishes criteria for minimizing the hazard of fire during the
installation and operation of stationary combustion engines. NFPA 37 limits the spacing of an enclosed generator from openings in walls,
structures and combustible materials outside the enclosure.
NFPA 37 (2015): Section 4.1.4 stipulates that engines installed outdoors shall be located at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) from structures having
combustible walls. Further, a minimum separation shall not be required where the following conditions exist:
1. All walls of the structure that are closer than 5 ft. from the engine enclosure have a fire resistance rating of at least 1 hr., or
2. The weatherproof engine enclosure is constructed of noncombustible materials, and it has been demonstrated that a fire within the
enclosure will not ignite combustible materials outside the enclosure.
Intertek Group PLC performed a full-scale fire test under a worst-case fire scenario within the stationary generator enclosure to determine
the ignitability of combustible material near the stationary generator. The enclosure is made of non-combustible materials and the results
and conclusions of the test indicate that a fire within the enclosure would not pose any risk of ignition to nearby combustible materials
or structures. Intertek Group PLC is certifying that this model complies with clause (2) of Section 4.1.4 of NFPA 37 when installed at a
minimum distance of 450 mm (17.7 in.) from a combustible wall.

Part No. 101049
SITE SELECTION, PREPARATION
AND PLACEMENT
These items are important to the overall performance of the
HSB generator. Many items covered in this section are not
optional and are requirements under Federal, State and Local
codes. As with all generators, your generator must be installed
in accordance with current NFPA-37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58 and
NFPA-70 standards. Contact your local electrical inspector or city
hall to insure you are aware of all codes and regulations. Install
the equipment in compliance with the National Electric Code
(NEC). For Canada installations, refer to Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC). Contact your natural gas supplier to verify that increased
BTU gas demand can be handled with the existing NG meter. The
same should done for LPG fueled generators. This generator in
the enclosure is designed to be installed outdoors only.
Champion HSB units are run and tested at the factory prior to
being shipped. They do not require any type of break-in period.
SUGGESTED SITE SELECTION
The installation of the HSB must comply strictly with NFPA 37,
NFPA 54, NFPA 58 and NFPA 70 standards.
The Champion HSB is shipped from the factory set up for natural
gas (NG) fuel. The HSB can be converted to LPG if required.
Orifices in the master mixer assembly (carburetor) MUST be
changed. The LPG orifices are shipped with the unit and include
installation instructions.
Install the unit in a location where the sump pump discharge,
rain gutter downspouts, roof run off, landscape irrigation, natural
ponding or water sprinklers will not flood the unit or spray the
enclosure entering any inlet or outlet opens.
Position the unit in an area where prevailing winds will carry
the exhaust gas away from any potentially occupied building or
structure.
Install the unit where leaves, grass, snow, ect., will not obstruct
air inlet and outlet openings. If prevailing winds cause blowing or
drifting, you may consider building a windbreak, planting trees or
shrubs within the guidelines and codes applicable.
Watch out for roof overhangs. Snow, ice or rain shouldn’t be
permitted to accumulate on the roof and then cascade onto the
unit.
!
DANGER
Engine exhaust from the unit is hot
and dangerous.
Exhaust must be allowed to dissipate into a free
air zone as listed in the applicable codes with no
obstructions.
Direct the HSB exhaust away from or parallel to the building or
structure. DO NOT direct the HSB exhaust toward a potentially
occupied building, structure, windows, doors, ventilation intakes,
soffit vents, crawl spaces, open garage doors or other openings
where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be
drawn into potentially occupied buildings or structures.
Install the unit on higher ground where water levels will not rise
and endanger it. This unit shouldn’t be operated in standing
water.
DO NOT place HSB waterproof enclosure under a deck or other
type of structure that may confine or restrict airflow. Operate
HSB only outdoors, where adequate ventilation and air movement
is available. Avoid installations under decks, inside garages or
carports, in basements, along home exterior within 5 feet (1.5m)
of home vent, roof overhang vents, a window that can be opened,
or other such home invasion points. Use the same precautions
when installing HSB at property line, close to a neighbor’s home,
or any building or structure that houses animals.
!
DANGER
Running engines give off carbon
monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
invisible, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause fatigue,
headache, dizziness, vomiting and in prolonged
conditions, even death. Carbon monoxide detectors
MUST be installed and maintained indoors according
to the manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
The back of the HSB locates the fuel and wire entry points. When
placement/mounting is done this side generally faces the closest
point to each of those sources.
INSTALLATION
28
Part No. 101049
It is always recommended to prepare a drawing showing location
of HSB, typical gas utility approach, circuit connections and full
load connections.
Similar considerations should be given to the location of the ATS
(automatic transfer switch) in relationship to the HSB generator.
The closer to both the fuel meter and the main utility panel
the better. The key point here is, the closer to fuel meter is the
suggested direction to go, wire is cheaper to run and more
flexible.
SUGGESTED PREPARATION
A concrete pad can be poured or purchased through Champion
(model 100616) and the HSB secured to it. In some areas a
concrete pad is required due to high wind potential. Check
local codes to see what type of mounting base is required. If a
concrete pad is required, all federal, state and local codes should
be followed. Unless mandated by federal, state or local code, a
concrete pad is not required.
If no concrete pad is being used, Champion recommends using
a mixture of pea gravel and sand or crushed stone for placement
of the mounting pad. The mounting pad MUST be level. The
gravel mixture or crushed stone is to permit water runoff,
drainage and reduce ponding of water around the HSB.
Dig an area 5 inches (12.7 cm) deep that is 6 inches (15.2 cm)
longer and wider than the foot print of the HSB. The HSB is 49
inches long × 28 inches wide (124.5 cm long × 71 cm wide).
Cover the dugout area with a weed barrier or landscape cloth if
desired.
Fill the area with pea gravel and sand mixture or crushed stone.
Final stone level must be 2 or 3 inches higher than the original
ground level to ensure water run-off and drainage.
Compact the fill, this is to provide a firm base for the HSB.
Remember the final stone level must be 2 or 3 inches higher
than the original ground level to ensure water run-off and
drainage.
TOOLS REQUIRED
1. General SAE and Metric hand tools, wrenches, sockets
and screwdrivers.
2. Standard electrician’s hand tools, drill and bits.
3. Monometer (for checking fuel pressures).
4. Meter capable of measuring AC/DC Voltage and Frequency
5. Safety apparel
Inspect the unit. Carefully inspect the HSB for any damage
that may have occurred during shipment and delivery. If loss
or damage is noted at the time of delivery, have the person(s)
making delivery note all damage on the freight bill and affix
their signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.
If loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged
materials and contact the carrier for claims procedures. Parts
damaged in shipping are not covered under Champion warranty.
Unbox the unit, by removing the exterior shipping carton. The ATS
is included, remove the packaging and lift it out. Remove the 4
shipping brackets, 2 on each end that hold the HSB to the wood
shipping pallet. This pallet is for shipping/transportation only and
cannot be used as a mounting pad in any form. Exercise caution
when removing the HSB from the wood pallet, dragging it off the
wood pallet will damage the HSB base. The HSB must be lifted
from the wood pallet to separate.
Contact your natural gas (NG) supplier about the meter size. Most
meters must be replaced with a larger BTU size, due to a larger
demand of BTU’s from the HSB and appliances during operation
(utility outage). This also applies to HSB utilizing LPG.
SUGGESTED PLACEMENT
The Site Selection has been completed, all federal, state and
local codes have been reviewed and applied as mandated by the
NFPA standards and all other related codes/standards.
Preparation has been completed and everything has been
properly prepared to place the HSB.
The rear right side of the HSB locates the fuel and wire entry
points. When placement is done this side generally faces the
closest point to each of those sources for fuel and wire entry.

CAUTION
The HSB weighs approximately 300-400 lbs
(136kg - 181kg) depending on the model. Proper tools,
equipment and qualified personnel should be used in
all phases of handling and moving the HSB. Do not lift
or move the HSB without assistance. Do not lift the
unit by the roof or any other enclosure component as
damage to the HSB and possible injury of handling/
moving staff may occur.
Two (2) 5 foot (1.5 m) lengths of ¾ “steel pipe (supplied by
the installer), are required to lift the HSB. Insert the steel pipes
through the lifting holes located near the HSB base in the
composite pad, on each end.
You may also lift the HSB using a properly rated strap, lift, hook
and hoist procedure attached to both steel lifting pipes, provided
that you use spreader bars to ensure that the belts, chains or
cables DO NOT touch/contact the HSB.
Once the HSB has been placed, check to make sure it is level. If
it isn’t, make adjustments prior to installation procedures start.

WARNING
!
Improper installation can result in
personal injury and damage to the
generator. It may also result in the
warranty being suspended or voided.
All the instructions must be followed
including location clearances and
pipe size.
Once Site Selection, Preparation and Placement has been
completed, you can proceed to Installation Preparation. Without
these in place you may encounter problems moving forward.
There are a number of key items that MUST be addressed prior
to the physical installation of the HSB. The installation of the HSB
must comply strictly with all applicable codes, standards and
regulations (NFPA 37, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70).
Check and confirm that the HSB on board controls are “ALL” in
the “OFF” position. This includes; Control panel circuit breaker,
exercise control and both LED controllers.
Champion HSB units have been run and tested at the factory
prior to being shipped. They do not require any type of break-in
period.
!
CAUTION
The HSB is shipped with oil in the engine.
Never operate the HSB with the engine oil level below

1. FUEL REQUIREMENTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following NG and LPG fuel information is provided to assist
the fuel installer. This information should not be deemed to be
all inclusive or to conflict with local dry fuel codes. Consult your
local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall for guidance on proper local
codes and installations. Local codes will mandate correct routing
of gaseous fuel line piping around gardens, shrubs and other
landscaping to prevent any damage.
Special considerations should be given when installing the
HSB where local conditions include might flooding, tornadoes,
hurricanes, earthquakes and unstable ground. These are
considerations for the flexibility and strength of piping and their
connections.
NG is lighter than air and will collect in high areas. LPG is heavier
than air and will settle in low areas.

DANGER
Gaseous fuels such as NG and
LPG are highly explosive. Even the
slightest spark can ignite such fuels
and cause an explosion, which
could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in serious injury, property
damage or even death. NO leakage is
permitted.
Recommended fuels should have a BTU content of at least 1,000
BTU’s per cubic foot for NG, or at least 2,500 Btu’s per cubic foot
for LPG. Ask the fuel supplier for the Btu content of the fuel.
Before NG fuel lines plans are made, call your NG supplier,
provide them information on the amount cubic feet/hour and
the BTU’s/hour that the HSB will use, and ask if the NG meter
and primary regulator can accommodate the addition of the NG
generator. NG companies have different meters for increased
BTU demands. Utilize the “Fuel Consumption (BTU) Chart”
contained in this manual or the Installation Manual for your
specific HSB model.
Verify that the current gas meter is capable of providing
enough fuel flow to include household appliances and other
loads including the addition of the HSB. Check the NG primary
regulator, connected at the NG meter output. The correct primary
regulator is set at 6 to 8 inches water column. The existing
primary regulator may be undersized once the HSB is added.
The HSB engine can run on either NG or LPG. The HSB comes
equipped from the factory to run on NG. If your installation
requires the engine to run on LPG, orifices in the master mixer
assembly (carburetor) MUST be changed. The LPG orifices are
shipped with HSB. Refer to “Converting to LPG” in this manual or
the “Installation Manual” for your specific HSB model.

2. FUEL CONSUMPTION
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less available
engine power. Engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000
feet (300 m) above sea level and 1% for each 10 degrees F
above 77 degrees F. Make sure these factors are considered
when determining total HSB load.
The gas supply and pipe MUST be sized at 100% load Btu
rating. Understand that as a specific fuel supply line pipe
diameter is extended in length, its ability to carry the volume of
gas diminishes in direct proportion. Improper fuel pipe sizing is
the number one reason for poor operating performance (hard
starting, output).
Required fuel pressure for NG is 5 – 7 inches water column.
Required fuel pressure for LPG vapor is 10 – 12 inches water
column. These are estimated fuel supply requirements listed.

3. NG PIPE SIZING
The HSB leaves the factory set up for NG, no changes or
alteration need to be made if NG is the fuel source you are going
to use The following NG fuel information is provided to assist
the fuel installer. This information should not be deemed to be
all inclusive or to conflict with local dry fuel codes. Consult your
local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall for guidance on proper local
codes and installations. All piping must comply with NFPA 54
and related codes. Gas line connections should be made by a
certified plumber familiar with local codes.
Always use AGA approved gas pipe and a quality pipe sealant
or joint compound. The piping should conform to federal and
local codes, rigidly mounted and protected from vibration. Piping
should be black iron or steel to avoid reacting with the sulfur in
the fuel.
!
DANGER
NG is highly explosive. Even the
slightest spark can ignite and cause
an explosion, which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in
serious injury, property damage or
even death. NO leakage is permitted.
Safety is important.
Gas pipe sizing is critical to the proper operation of the HSB. The
HSB fuel inlet size has no bearing on the proper gas pipe size
running to the HSB. Gas supply and pipe MUST be sized at 100%
load BTU rating. Understand that as a specific fuel supply line
pipe diameter is extended in length, its ability to carry the volume
of gas is diminished in direct proportion.
Pipe sizes are measured by inside diameter (ID) to include any
fittings, valves, elbows, tees or angles. Add 2.5 feet (.76 m) per
bend, tee or angle in the pipe line to the overall distance, for
each 90 degree elbow, add 8 feet (2.4 m) to the measurement.
Use a pipe sealant or joint compound approved for use with LPG/
NG on all threaded fittings to assure zero leakage.
A dedicated NG fuel supply line pipe and primary gas regulator is
mandatory for proper operation. A minimum of one (1) approved,
external manual full flow shutoff gas valve must be installed in
the fuel supply line pipe leading to the HSB. This line must be
easily accessible.
INSTALLATION
32
Part No. 101049
FLEXIBLE FUEL LINE
A flexible fuel line (enclosed with the HSB) is to be installed
between the stationary fuel supply line pipe and the fuel inlet
pipe to the HSB. The purpose of the flexible fuel line is to ensure
that vibration from the HSB does not cause a gas leak at one of
the connection points. The flexible fuel line is not to be installed
underground, in contact with any enclosure parts or contact
with the ground. The entire flexible fuel line must be visible for
periodic inspection and must not be concealed within nor contact
nor run through any wall, floor, partition or fence. Never bend
flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow. Bending the flexible fuel
line decreases its ability to absorb vibrations and could restrict
the actual fuel flow. Because a HSB engine is prone to vibration,
a flexible piping connection to the gas supply is required.
Connect the HSB to the gas supply piping with an approved
flexible gas line according to local codes. The flexible gas line
also protects against settlement between the HSB pad and the
ridged gas supply piping.
!
CAUTION
Check for leaks by spraying all connection points
with a soap solution made of dishwashing liquid
and water. If you see bubbles, this indicates a leak
and the connection should be corrected. Check each
connection point, there should not be a visible bubbling
when soap solution applied. Installed piping must be
properly purged and leak tested, in accordance with
applicable codes and standards. A sediment trap
should be placed in the fuel supply pipe line to drain
any condensation.
Bubble indicates leak
Refer to the “Fuel Pipe Sizing Chart” contained in this manual or
the Installation manual for your specific HSB model. Champion
HSB units have been run and tested at the factory prior to
shipment. They do not require any type of break-in period.

4. LPG VAPOR PIPE SIZING
The HSB leaves the factory set up for NG. If you are going to fuel
the HSB with LPG you MUST change the Master Mixer Assembly
(carburetor system) for LPG usage. The HSB will not perform on
LPG if the carburetor system is not changed from NG to LPG.
Refer to “Converting to LPG” in this manual or the Installation
Manual of your specific HSB model. If your installation requires
the engine to run on LPG, a set of orifices in the Master Mixer
Assembly (carburetor system) MUST be changed. The LPG set of
orifices are enclosed (shipped) with the HSB.
The following LPG information is provided to assist the fuel
installer. This information should not be deemed to be all
inclusive or to conflict with local dry fuel codes. Consult your
local fuel supplier or Fire Marshall for final answers on proper
local codes and installation. All piping must comply with NFPA

Use a pipe sealant or joint compound for use with LPG/NG on all
threaded fitting to assure zero leakage.
The LPG must be a vapor withdrawal system. The HSB will not
work on a liquid withdrawal system. Gas line connections should
be made by a certified plumber familiar with local codes.
New LPG tanks and existing LPG tanks already located at the
installation site, have a primary fuel regulator set and intended
for home heating and cooking. This regulator might not be
properly sized to accommodate the addition of the HSB. Contact
the local LPG supplier to properly size the fuel regulator.
Make sure the tank is sized large enough to provide the required
Btu’s for the HSB and all connected appliances.
The LPG fuel tank must have a dedicated primary fuel regulator
mounted at the tank fuel outlet point and set for 6 ounce
pressure, 10 -12 inch water column. A direct, dedicated fuel
line connected directly to the HSB mounted secondary regulator,
also set at 6 ounce pressure, 10 -12 inch water column. When
sizing the secondary regulator for LP applications be sure to note
the maximum individual load capabilities. This could impact HSB
starting performance if sized to small. It is not recommended
to reduce the fuel supply line pipe exiting the secondary
regulator unless to accommodate the flexible fuel line required
to install and shipped with the unit. The may result in starting or
performance issues with the HSB.
Make sure fuel supply line pipe includes an on/off external
manual full flow shut off gas valve at both the LPG tank and at
the point of connection to the HSB.
A sediment trap should be installed into the fuel supply pipe line
to drain any condensation.

A manual full fuel shut off valve should be installed inside the
building, for those locations with inside gas meters.
The full flow shut off valve should be installed in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards.
7. SEDIMENT TRAP
A sediment trap should be installed into the fuel supply line pipe
when using either NG or LPG to drain any condensation. Always
make sure the HSB is completely in the OFF position and the full
flow fuel shut off valve is closed before removing the sediment
trap for drainage. Use a pipe sealant or joint compound approved
for use with LPG/NG on all threaded fittings to reduce the
possibility of leakage. Install a sediment trap downstream of the
HSB shut-off valve as close to the inlet as possible in accordance
with local codes.
8. CHECKING PRESSURE WITH A
MANOMETER
This check should only be done when the HSB and ATS have
been installed, properly inspected and ready for testing.
A Manometer is a general term for any device that measures
pressure. A gas Manometer measures gas pressure. It’s
important to make sure the correct amount of fuel is being
delivered to the HSB when it starts and at full load usage, the
Manometer provides the ability to check the fuel pressure
throughout the operation of the HSB. A Manometer port should
be placed in the fuel supply pipe line.
INSTALLATION
37
Part No. 101049
!
CAUTION
Remove the plug, install the Manometer. Open the
gas supply valve check to make sure the pressures
are within the specified values for NG or LPG. This is
always a good starting point for evaluations related to
poor performance.
After all appliances have been turn on, start the HSB. If the
Manometer stays within 5 -7 inches of water column for NG,
10 -12 inches of water column for LP, with full load applied to a
proper running HSB, the installation is good.
If the Manometer reading falls below the listed inches of water
column for either specific gas rating while the HSB engine is
starting or running. It may be an indication that the gas meter or
primary regulator is undersized.
If the Manometer reading stays within the specific gas rated
inches water column, but the HSB engine will not start, run
erratic, it may indicate insufficient fuel volume due to long fuel
supply pipe line, incorrect full pipe diameter. Recheck you initial
calculations to ensure where the problem might exist.
Champion HSB units have been run and tested at the factory.
They do not require any type of break-in period.
9. BATTERY REQUIREMENTS,
INSTALLATION & SERVICE
Battery sizing is a topic that is discussed and debated for a
number of reasons. The battery size, cold cranking amps (CCA),
starting cycle or deep cycle are all items for consideration. The
following will assist you to better understand the battery, the
codes and the purpose of the battery. It is extremely important
to follow all cautions and warnings per the battery manufacturer
concerning installation, service, maintenance and replacement
procedures.
Battery Council International (BCI) is an association of
battery industry companies whose members establish policy and
standards for the industry.
Battery Size is the physical dimensions of a battery. BCI assigns
letters and numbers for North American battery size types.
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is a rating that is used to define
the batteries ability to start an engine under low-temperature
conditions. BCI defines it as “the number of amps a lead-acid
battery at 0 degrees F can deliver for 30 seconds”.
Starting (cranking) Cycle Battery is designed to deliver large
bursts of power for a short time, as needed to start an engine.
Starting batteries are intended to have a low depth of discharge
on each use.
Deep Cycle Battery is designed to continuously provide power
for long periods of time (for example in a trolling motor, auxiliary
power for a RV or traction power for a golf cart or other battery
electric vehicle).
Two (2) 12 volt Group U1 batteries with a minimum of
350 CCA each. Battery size: 7

H inches
(196mm L × 131mm W × 185mm H). This is based on testing
in extreme cold and heat -22° F (-30° C) to 104 ° F (40° C).
Purchase batteries locally. Install positive cable first.
This is a 24 volt system. Most large trucks, buses and even some
RV’s use 24 Volt systems. While it is true that two batteries,
whether parallel (12 Volts), or in series (24 Volts) wired will
produce the same power, our 24 volt system makes it easier to
transfer power through higher voltages. With 24 Volts the engine
starter turns almost twice as fast as a 12 volt. This increased
starting speed enhances fuel delivery and combustion chamber
ignition in all weather conditions, especially in cold climate areas.
All 12 VDC batteries will lose a certain percentage of their charge
while in storage. It is important to test the battery voltage before
it is installed in the generator and taken to the job site. A fully
charged battery must test at 12.5 – 13.0 volts DC at 70 degrees F.
Also the correct batteries must have lug terminals to match
lug battery cables, for a bolt-together connection. All cautions
must be taken in accordance with the battery manufacturers
recommendations.
Check and confirm that the HSB on board controls are “ALL” in
the “OFF” position. This includes; circuit panel breaker, exercise
control and both LED controllers. Turn off utility power supply to
the ATS (automatic transfer switch), place ATS in “OFF” mode.

while in standby (non-running) mode. This trickle charger will not
recharge a fully discharged or defective battery. When the HSB
is running (during use), the engine provides power to the battery
charger, charging the batteries to maintain full battery power.
When doing any work on the batteries always make sure the
HSB, ATS and transfer switch from utility are in the “OFF” position
or sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are
attached and cause an explosion.

medical attention, and 40 Spilled electrolyte is to
be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent.
A common practice is to use a solution of one
pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one
gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda
is to be added until the evidence of reaction
(foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to
be flushed with water and the area dried.
!
CAUTION
Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire because they
generate hydrogen gas.
The following procedures are to be followed:
1. DO NOT SMOKE when near batteries.
2. DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area,
and
3. Discharge static electricity from body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded
metal surface.
WIRE SIZING
All installations must comply with National, State and Local
codes. It is the responsibility of the installer to perform an
installation that will pass the final electrical inspection. Conductor
wire sizes must be adequate to handle the maximum current to
which they will be subjected. The installation must comply fully
with all applicable codes, standards and regulations.
All power cables must enter the enclosure through the knockouts
provided. If not using knockouts, conduit entry into the enclosure
must be at or below knockouts to maintain the Type 3R rating.
NEMA 3R enclosures are rated and tested for outside installation,
they are water proof enclosures and only come with knockouts
on the bottom side of the enclosure. If a NEMA 3R enclosure

The installation must comply fully with all applicable codes
standards and regulations.
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 certified 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.
INSTALLATION
41
Part No. 101049
Once you have identified 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 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.
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 fluctuations.
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 specific maintenance.
The hour meter can’t be reset. The initial time registered on the
meter when first started up (installed) will reflect the factory test
time, this is a normal industry standard. The hour meter only
reflects hours, it does not reflect 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 specific 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 specific unit.
The square 4 pin connector, top left position, G = Green wire
(Ground), bottom left L/B = Blue/Black (Ignition coil), bottom right
is not used, top right R = Red wire (Battery).
The rectangle 3 pin connector, top position, R = RED wire (L2),
middle is not used, bottom is W = WHITE (Neutral).
EXERCISE LED
The GREEN LED will be flashing when the HSB is performing the
weekly exercise cycle. When the exercise period has completed,
the LED will stay lit and the HSB will resume standby monitoring.
SET EXERCISE TIME
To set the exercise time,
1. The Engine Control Module switch must be in the ATS
mode.
2. Decide on the desired day and time to exercise the HSB
generator.
3. Press the exercise switch to ON.
4. The HSB generator will start and run for 15 minutes and
then shut off.
5. The exercise time is now set.
INSTALLATION
42
Part No. 101049
6. The HSB generator will begin the next exercise period
exactly 168 hours from when the exercise switch
was pressed to the ON position. The exercise switch
incorporates a built-in timer.
7. Load transfer from the HSB generator output will not occur
unless the utility power is lost.
The exercise time setting is specific to the day and time you set
it on site.
When the exerciser switch is in the OFF position, the exercise
function is disabled.
RESET OR CHANGE EXERCISE TIME
If you chose to change the current exercise time setting or
reset the time setting, choose the new day and time. Switch the
exercise switch to OFF and then to ON and it will begin the cycle
again.
EXERCISE TIME WILL HAVE TO BE RESET IF;
1. The battery was disconnected from the HSB generator.
2. The exercise switch was moved to the OFF position for
maintenance.
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.
Connector #1 (far left connector), has 2 leads. A RED lead (right)
that runs to the positive side of the brush assembly, and a BLACK
lead (left) that runs to the negative side of the brush assembly.
The brush assembly provides flow through of excitation current
to the rotating rotor. Brushes are made of long lasting material
that seldom wear out or fail. The contact points of the brush
assembly are with two slip rings attached to the rotor. These slip
rings can become tarnished or exhibit a glaze, which can create
a resistance to the flow of electricity. This can occur when the
HSB is not exercised or ran over long periods of storage.
Connector #2 (center), 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.
Connector #3 (far right), has 2 leads. The top lead is BROWN,
when connected it runs to pre-boost/magnetized pin #7 on the
Engine Controller Module. The bottom lead is GREEN and runs to
ground.
Slotted potentiometer is factory set to the correct voltage and
should not require adjustment.

Part No. 101049
ENGINE RELAY MODULE
This module is the interface between the Engine Controller, ATS
Controller, alternator, hour meter and battery charger. It is the
interface for all on board communications in the HSB.
The module has two (2) fuses built into the board. On the left
side of the module there is a 250VAC 5A mini fuse protecting
the system from an over voltage between the alternator and the
relays.
The second fuse, is an automotive style fuse, 40A (Orange),
which protects the system from an excessive transfer voltage
output when the ATS relays transfer between Utility to Genset
and Genset to Utility modes.

ENGINE CONTROLLER
The Engine Controller Module is equipped to provide monitoring
and protection for the HSB. It applies a knob mode switch and
provides 3 operation modes; ATS (automatic), OFF and MANUAL.
Fault protection includes; over/under speed, high oil temperature,
low oil pressure, and over crank. It also displays low battery
voltage warning and indicates running and power status. The
output functions are executed by a set of traditional relays which
make it possible to support the HSB throughout standby mode
and operation.

ATS POSITION
In this position the system is ready for full automatic operation.
1. Monitors constant utility power source voltage, if the
voltage is lost or is not consistent it will automatically start
and transfer to HSB.
2. When utility power is lost the Engine Control Module will
automatically disconnect the utility power from the home.
3. Command the HSB to start—allowing time for engine
warm-up and to bring generator up to maximum capacity.
4. Transfer load to HSB.
5. In this position the HSB will also perform its weekly
exercise cycle at the predetermined set time.
6. The HSB will attempt up to 5 starting sequences to
successfully start the HSB. If the HSB fails to start after
the 5th attempt the RED LED light, “Over Crank” will be
lit. The exterior fault code indicator LED on the backside
of the HSB will be activated and lit. Should this LED be lit,
the unit will not attempt to start or re-start. Follow reset
procedures contained in the manuals specific to your
model to clear or correct.
7. When the HSB is installed with an Automatic Transfer
Switch (ATS), and the ATS and Engine Control Module are
in the AUTO positions, the engine can crank and start at
any time. To prevent an automatic start of the HSB, both
the ATS Control Module and the Engine Control Module
must be placed in the OFF positions when all maintenance
or service are being performed on or around the unit.
INSTALLATION
45
Part No. 101049
OFF POSITION
This position closes and shuts down the engine signals. It
prevents the automatic operation of the generator. This position
is required when all maintenance or service are being performed
on or around the unit.
MANUAL POSITION
This position allows manual starting of the engine. Load transfer
from the HSB output does NOT occur unless the utility power
voltage is lost. NOTE: You cannot perform a load test of the
generator in the manual position.
EXERCISE LED
The GREEN LED will be flashing when the HSB is performing
the weekly exercise cycle. Refer to “Setting Exercise Time” to
establish the weekly exercise period. When the exercise period
is complete (15 minutes) the LED will stay lit and the HSB will
resume standby monitoring.
LOW BATTERY LED
The YELLOW LED will be lit if the battery voltage fell below 21.0
volts for at least one minute while the engine was running. If
the battery voltage rises above 21.1 volts, the LED will turn off.
Battery voltage is NOT monitored when the engine is cranking,
just when the engine is running. If the YELLOW LED comes on
it will not shut the HSB off, it will remain lit until the battery
condition meets the required output.
When the LED remains lit, the battery charging should be
checked and the condition of the batteries. Follow reset
procedures contained in the manuals specific to your model to
clear or correct.
HIGH ENGINE TEMP. LED
The RED LED will be lit if the engine operating temperature
exceeds the factory preset limits. If excessive operating
temperature is detected, the HSB will shut down and re-start will
be disabled. The RED LEDs on the module and enclosure exterior
are lit.
This failure could be the result of an excessive load or high
ambient temperatures. Should this fault occur do the following;
1. Open the enclosure doors to increase air flow throughout
the unit.
2. Check oil level, add oil if required.
3. Inspect the interior and exterior of the enclosure for debris,
leaves, ect., and remove them to increase air flow around
and inside the unit.
4. Once the engine temperature falls into the normal
operating range, generally 30 minutes, follow the reset
procedures in the manuals specific to your model to clear
and correct fault.
5. Close the enclosure doors and the unit is ready to run.
HZ OVER/UNDER SPEED LED
The RED LED will be lit if the engine was operating above or
below its preset speed limits. These limits are factory set to
protect the HSB and the circuits connected to the generator
output circuits. When this fault occurs, the HSB will shut down,
light the RED LED, shut down and re-start will be disabled. The
exterior fault code LED on the back of the HSB enclosure will be
activated and lit.
Appliances connected to the generator circuit could be damaged
from high generator output if the engine is allowed to operate
above the factory preset limits. If this failure occurs contact
Champion or your Authorized Champion Dealer. The RED LED will
remain lit until the failure has been corrected, the HSB will not
attempt to transfer or run.
LOW OIL LED
The RED LED will be lit when the engine oil level drops below
the safe operating level. When this fault is detected, the HSB
will shut down and re-start will be disabled. RED LEDs on the
module and enclosure exterior are lit.
Check the oil level. The oil level should be at the FULL mark, if
necessary, add oil. DO NOT overfill. Inspect the unit for a possible
oil leak, if a leak is discovered, contact Champion or your nearest
Authorized Champion Dealer. Follow the reset procedures
contained in the manuals specific to your model to clear and
correct.
INSTALLATION
46
Part No. 101049
OVER CRANK LED
The RED LED will be lit if the engine does not start. This prevents the HSB from damaging itself or other related components. When the
fault is detected, the HSB will shut down and re-start will be disabled. RED icon on the controller module and exterior LED will be lit.
STARTER CRANK CYCLE TIMES - If the HSB fails to start, the “OVER CRANK” LED will flash on the Engine Control Module and a steady lit
exterior warning LED on the backside of the HSB. Below outlines the crank cycle differences depending on the mode selected. Please note
there is a 120 second lockout or rest period after the cycles for each mode listed to allow the starter to properly cool.
Follow the RESET FAULT CODE(S) instructions by placing the Engine Control Module in the OFF position to clear the fault. Regardless
of when you turn the control to OFF, you will need to allow the timer to count down to zero (0) before proceeding with another start
procedure. The lockout time remaining is not shown as there is no screen.

This failure could be the result of insufficient fuel supply. Check the in-line fuel shut off valves and make sure they are in the ON/OPEN
position. Position them in the correct position, follow the RESET FAULT CODE(S) instructions to clear the fault after service. If they are in
the correct position and the HSB shows a fault light again, it’s recommended to perform a Manometer pressure check by an Authorized
Champion Dealer or installer. This will make sure the correct amount of fuel is being delivered to the HSB when it starts.
Insufficient battery output could result in poor cranking cycles, not permitting the engine starter to reach optimum starting RPM to start
the engine. If this occurs, the individual battery voltages must be checked to determine if the batteries are properly charged or if they
have failed. It is extremely important to follow all the cautions and warnings per the battery manufacturer concerning installation, service,
maintenance and replacement procedures.
RUN LED
The GREEN LED will be lit if the engine is running and is only lit when the engine is running.
POWER LED
The GREEN LED will be lit, indicating the batteries are installed correctly in series providing the necessary 24VDC power and that loads
can be applied or transferred. If the battery charger is wired correctly, this LED will also be lit even without batteries installed.
LED INDICATORS
In all cases when the LED is GREEN, this is an indicator that the HSB is performing properly.
In all cases when the LED is RED, this is an indicator that the HSB has registered a fault and must be corrected. Only the “LOW BATTERY
LED” will not latch out or shut down the HSB. ALL other RED LED faults will latch out, shut down, disable starting and light the RED LEDs
on the Engine Control Module and the exterior fault code LED on the backside of the HSB.

EXTERIOR WARNING LED
The exterior of the generator enclosure includes a Warning LED
that illuminates RED when a fault has occurred
The Warning LED provides a visual indicator to homeowners
and service technicians that a fault has occurred, and service is
needed.
The Warning LED is located on the back-exterior panel mounted
next to the air intake louver.
ATS CONTROL MODULE
The ATS Control Module contains the TEST/AUTO/OFF switch
and LEDs that indicate the type/source of power delivery into
the home. The module will reflect Utility power source when the
utility power source is coming into the home. The 3 LEDs on the
left will be lit (UTILITY, ATS active, LOAD, view left to right).
The module will reflect GENSET power when the Generator is
the source of power being delivered into the home. The 3 LEDs
on the right will be lit (LOAD, ATS active, GENSET, view center to
right).
This is a two (2) wire start system. The control of HSB operation
and ATS operation are done through the controls in the HSB.
This is done by a wire connection to the HSB and then a wire
correction from the HSB to the ATS. All system communications,
monitoring of the Utility power source and control of the HSB are
coordinated through the control modules on the HSB. A one (1)
wire start is a system in which the communications, monitoring
and control of power source is done through the ATS.

NOTICE
By law it is required in many states to have a Carbon
Monoxide (CO) detector in operating condition in your
home. Carbon Monoxide detector(s) must be installed
and maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. A CO monitor is an electric device that detects
hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup of CO, the
monitor will alert the occupants by flashing a visual light
indicator and an audible alarm. Smoke alarms cannot detect
CO gas.
CO gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless and is unlikely to
be noticed until a person is overcome. Standby generators emit
carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the engine exhaust.
AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
(ATS)
Refer to the Reliance instruction guide enclosed with each unit
for information related to installation, operation, service, trouble
shooting and warranty (Champion part number 101271).
The most reliable and convenient method to transfer power
is with an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS will
automatically disconnect the home from the utility power prior
to the HSB functioning (see NEC 700, 701 and 702). Failure to
disconnect the home from the utility with an approved UL listed
ATS can result in damage to the HSB and can also cause injury
or death to utility power workers who may receive electrical
back-feed from the HSB.
ATS module switch (located in the HSB control panel) includes
sensors to detect when a power failure (utility lost) occurs. These
sensors trigger the ATS to disengage the home from the utility
power. After the home disconnected from the utility, the HSB
engine will start. When the unit reaches the proper voltage and
frequency, the ATS will automatically transfer generator power
to the pre-determined load circuits that have been selected and
connected to the transfer switch.
The ATS module continues to monitor the utility source for the
return of utility power. When the utility power returns, the ATS
disengages the home from generator power and re-transfers
the home to utility power. The HSB is now off line and will shut
down--returning to the standby mode.
The Champion Fast/Tran is an automatic transfer switch (ATS)
designed to provide a safe and simple method of powering
designated branch circuits from a permanently installed back-
up AC power source. The electrical-over-mechanical transfer
switching and interlocking system prevents accidental feedback
of backup power to the utility lines. The extremely high speed
switching system avoids the electrical appliance shutdowns that
can occur with other transfer switches when transitioning from
back-up power to utility power.
NEMA 1 – This type of enclosed ATS is for indoor installations
only.
NEMA 3R – This type of enclosed ATS is similar to the indoor
box, except that it is a weatherproof enclosure and required
for exterior installations by code. The enclosure only has
knockouts on the bottom side for the enclosure, requires water
tight fasteners/grommets when installed outside per code. This
enclosure can also be used inside.
The ATS is also equipped with manual transfer switch operation
which is generally utilized for system checks and function tests
of the system, refer to manual.
The HSB is also equipped with a standard weekly test that starts
the unit automatically at a specific set time, once every 7 days
(set by installer or owner) and exercises the HSB unit. It does not
transfer loads to the generator, this exercise is a systems check,
refer to manual
UNPACKING
Allow the ATS to warm to room temperature for at least 24 hours
before unpacking to prevent condensation on the electrical
apparatus. Use care when unpacking to avoid damaging transfer
switch components. Use a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to
remove dirt and packing material that may have accumulated in
the transfer switch or any of its components.
Do not use compressed air to clean the switch. Cleaning with
compressed air can cause debris to lodge in the components
and damage the switch per the ATS manufacturer.
Retain the ATS manual with or near the ATS for future reference.
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
Install the ATS as close as possible to main utility distribution
panel. Wires will run between the utility main distribution panel
and the ATS, proper installation and conduit is required by
code. Mount the ATS vertically to a rigid supporting structure.
To prevent the ATS or enclosure box from distortion, level all
mounting points, use washers behind the mounting holes
(outside the enclosure, between enclosure and supporting
structure).

CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR UTILITY MAIN
CONTROL PANEL AND ATS
The Utility Main Control Panel requires a 35.5 ampere double-
pole circuit breaker as a feeder for the ATS. Refer to inside label/
decal on the ATS enclosure front panel for recommendations.
ATS branch circuit breakers must match the Utility Main Control
breakers amp rating to which they will provide power outage.
Refer to the inside label/decal on the ATS front panel for
recommendations.
ELECTRICAL GROMMET(S)
Grommets can be used in any enclosure knockout for NEMA 1
installations. Grommets can only be used in the bottom enclosure
knockouts for NEMA 3R installations, when installed outside.
INSTALLATION WIRING FOR ATS TO
UTILITY MAIN CONTROL PANEL
!
WARNING
!
The manufacturer recommends
that a licensed electrician or an
individual with complete knowledge
of electricity perform these
procedures.
Be certain that the power from the main panel is
turned “OFF” and all backup sources are locked
out prior to removal of the cover or removal of any
wiring of the utility main electrical distribution panel.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Automatic start generators will start upon loss of utility
main power unless locked in the “OFF” position.
!
WARNING
The wires connected to the service
main circuit breaker remain LIVE and
HOT. Avoid contact with these wires
and the service main circuit breaker
connection lugs.
!
CAUTION
Consult all local and National electric codes for proper
wiring methods for all wiring.
1. Conductor sizes must be adequate to handle the
maximum current to which they will be subjected. The
installation must comply fully with all applicable codes,
standards and regulations. Conductors must be properly
supported, of approved insulation materials, protected by
approved conduit and with the correct wire gauge size in
accordance with all applicable codes. Before connecting
wire cables to terminals, remove any surface oxides from
the cable ends with a wire brush. All power cables must
enter the enclosure through the enclosure knockouts.
2. Determine where the flexible, liquid tight conduit will pass
through the building from the inside to outside. When you
are certain that there is adequate clearance on each side
of the wall, drill a small pilot hole through the wall to mark
the location. Drill an appropriate sized hole through the
sheathing and siding.
3. In compliance with all local electrical codes, route the
conduit along ceiling/floor joists and wall studs to the
location where the conduit will pass through the wall
to the exterior of the house. Once the conduit is pulled
through the wall and in proper position to attach to the
HSB generator, place silicone caulk around the conduit on
both side of the hole, inside and outside.
4. Mount the ATS next to the Utility main circuit control panel
board (circuit breaker or fuse box). Install a large diameter
conduit (1 or 1 ¼ inch, trade size recommended, liquid
tight, (1 foot suggested distance) between the two panels.
Install a 50 ampere double-pole circuit breaker in the
Utility main circuit control panel.
5. Strip wires ½ inch and install a Black L1, and Red L2
wire suitable for 50 amperes between the double-pole
feeder breaker in the main panel and the similarly-colored
terminals on the Utility Supply terminal block in the ATS.
Install an insulated White wire of the same AWG between
the neutral bar in the main panel and the White terminal
on the Utility Supply terminal in the ATS. The Neutral wire
must be the ampacity as the L1 and L2 power wire. Install
a suitable Ground wire between the ground busses in the
two panels.
INSTALLATION
57
Part No. 101049
6. Select the circuits to be powered by the HSB backup
generator. If the branch circuit conductor is long enough,
you may want to pull it from the main panel board and
reinstall it in the ATS. It is possible to use an additional
wire and wire connector to extend the branch conductor
in the main panel board through the conduit into the ATS.
Install the branch circuit breakers in the ATS panel for
those branch circuits to be powered by the generator. The
ATS is UL listed for a number of 1 inch interchangeable
breakers (see label on the inside cover of the ATS). If the
breakers are moved from the Utility main panel board
to the ATS, make certain the openings in the dead front
created by removing those breakers from the main panel
board are fitted with the appropriate filler plugs. Connect
each branch circuit conductor to its appropriate branch
circuit breaker. Repeat for each of the selected circuits.
The branch conductors must be connected to the same
ampacity (size) breakers as they were when they were in
the main panel. Make sure that the total ampacity of the
selected circuits does not exceed the maximum capacity
of the generator.
7. Circuits to be moved 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 control panel. 15 amp breakers utilize 12 gauge
wire to allow for easy replacement with 20 amp breakers
is required by the installation without the need to replace/
upgrade the wire size.
8. Balance must be maintained when moving circuit
locations from utility main distribution panel to standby
ATS. Circuit breaker positions alternate buss bars
vertically. Circuits sharing a neutral wire should be moved
together in adjacent positions in the ATS or not moved. If
unsure of the proper procedure or if the installation differs
from that described, consult a licensed professional at this
time.
9. Strip wire ½ inch and install a Black L1, Red L2, and
White neutral wire suitable for 50 amperes between the
power output connector on the generator(terminal block
#3) and the similarly-colored terminals on the Generator
Supply terminal block in the ATS. If the generator has
a ground connector, install a ground wire between the
generator and the ground bus in the TS.
INSTALLING COMMUNICATION WIRES
1. All Communication circuit wires are color coded for easy
identification.
2. Route the multi-conductor wires (cable) from the HSB
generator (terminal block #3) to the 12 position center
terminal block in the ATS. Strip the wires ¼ inch and
connect each wire to the terminal block in the sequence
from left to right starting with 1 in the left-most position.
Each wire is connected by pushing the nylon release
lever backward to open the terminal clamp. Inserting the
stripped wire into the terminal opening, releasing the
terminal clamp. Care should be taken not to overstress the
nylon release levers. Note that some of the terminal block
positions are deliberately left unused (TB2-4 and TB2-8).

7. To test the ATS performance, simply disable utility mains
power. Your HSB generator should start, and your ATS will
automatically switch to the “GENERATOT SUPPLY” source.
When utility mains power is re-established, your ATS will
automatically switch back to the “UTILITY SUPPLY” source,
your HSB generator will cool down, turn off and then be
placed into standby ready position.
8. Refer to the Owner’s and Installation manuals provided
with the HSB and ATS for additional testing information.
9. The installer must label the circuits in the ATS for
reference with the label enclosed with ATS. The customer

INFORMATION
!
WARNING
The power from “BOTH” the UTILITY
power source and the HSB “MUST”
be turned “OFF” before attempting
to identified or replace any fuses.
Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or death.
On the backside of the ATS circuit board there are six (6), BUSS
AGC 6 amp fuses. Should any of these fuses blow, the generator
controller will need to be inspected and serviced by a qualified
technician. Once the cause of the blown fuse is resolved, the
fuse will need to be replaced.
To access the fuses on the rear of the circuit board, remove the
4 screws (parts 5 and 6, refer to ATS manual) from the mounting
bracket, and remove the 2 screws from the buss bar(parts 1 and
2, (refer to ATS manual). To access these screws, the branch
circuit breakers will need to be pulled off (removed) from the
buss bar first. The entire buss bar and mechanism assembly
now can be tilted away from the cabinet (toward you), providing
access to the rear of the circuit board and fuses.
