Electrical Shock Hazards

 WARNING

The generator produces dangerous voltage. Use extreme

caution when near the generator while it is operating.

Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals and connections while

the generator is operating.

ALWAYS stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock

hazard if work must be done on an operating generator.

NEVER wear jewelry that can conduct electricity when working

on the generator.

NEVER handle any kind of electrical device while hands or feet

are wet, while standing in water or while barefoot.

Proper earth grounding of the frame and external electrical

conductive components is required by the National Electrical

Code (NEC). State and local codes for proper grounding may

also apply.

Avoid direct contact with an electric shock victim. Immediately

shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible,

attempt to free the victim from the live conductor using a

nonconducting item such as a dry board or rope. If the victim

is unconscious, apply ﬁrst aid and call 911 immediately.

Fuel Safety

 DANGER

PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

AND EXPLOSIVE.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.

Propane/LPG (liquiﬁed petroleum gas) and LPG Vapors:

LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquiﬁed form and

it’s vapors are highly ﬂammable and explosive.

LPG and it’s vapors are under pressure and can cause a

ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

LPG vapors are heavier than air and will settle in low

places while dissipating.

LPG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a chemical

is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks quickly.

If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas

supply.

In the event of an LPG ﬁre and only when safe to do so,

ﬁrst close the regulator valve OFF and then use a dry

powder extinguisher to put out the ﬁre. This is because if

a ﬁre is extinguished before the regulator valve is closed

OFF, then an explosion hazard condition could be created.

Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.

LPG is a skin irritant and can cause severe cold burns

similar to frostbite.

Always wear proper protective gloves when connecting to

and disconnecting from a propane bottle.

Always keep LPG away from sparks, open ﬂames, pilot

lights, heat and other sources of ignition.

 DANGER

NG (natural gas) and NG Vapors:

NG vapors are highly ﬂammable and explosive.

NG vapors can cause a ﬁre or explosion if ignited.

NG itself is odorless and tasteless. For safety, a chemical

is added to give it an odor to help detect leaks quickly.

NG is lighter than air and will collect in higher areas.

If a leak is detected, IMMEDIATELY turn OFF the gas

supply.

HOME STANDBY GENERATOR- ALL aXis CONTROLLER

MODELS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 DANGER

NEVER allow any ﬂames or smoke near the fuel system.

Wipe up any oil spills immediately.

NEVER allow any combustible materials to be near the

ALWAYS keep the surrounding area near the generator clean

and free of debris.

Be sure to properly purge the fuel lines and leak-test according

to applicable codes before placing the generator in service.

Be sure to regularly inspect the fuel system for leaks. For

safety, a chemical is added to Propane/LPG/NG to give it an

odor to help detect leaks quickly. Never operate the generator

if a fuel leak is present.

Install a ﬁre extinguisher near the generator. Keep it properly

charged and be familiar with its use. An ABC rated National

Fire Protection extinguisher is appropriate for use on standby

electric systems. Contact your local ﬁre department with any

questions concerning the ﬁre extinguisher.

 DANGER

NEVER place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, LPG cylinder

or any combustible material in the path of the exhaust stream

during operation of the generator.

 WARNING

Never use a remote or external fuel supply tank or ﬂexible fuel

hose, or any other fuel component that is broken, cut, torn or

damaged.

Burn Hazards

 WARNING

DO NOT touch hot surfaces.

ALWAYS avoid contact with hot exhaust components and

gases. Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur

on contact.

ALWAYS allow hot surfaces to cool to the touch.

Entanglement Hazards

 WARNING

Use extreme caution when near rotating parts. Rotating parts

can entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing and/or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

Operate equipment with guards in place.

DO NOT wear loose-ﬁtting clothing, dangling drawstrings or

items that could become caught.

Battery Hazards

 WARNING

Always read and comply with the battery

manufacturer’s recommendations for

procedures concerning proper battery use

and maintenance.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid and generate

explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen

gases. Keep any device that may cause

sparks or ﬂames away from the battery to

prevent explosion.

Always wear protective glasses or goggles

and protective clothing when working

with batteries. Always follow the battery

manufacturer’s instructions on safety,

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.

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

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:

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

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.

MODELS

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.

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.

Always install your generator within 20 feet of the NG meter, the

closer the better. This will reduce expensive costs of running fuel

line. In some cases longer runs of fuel line, when not properly

sized may cause inadequate fuel delivery. This could result in

poor starting, lower outputs and diminished overall performance

of the unit. 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, poisonous 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.

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

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.

INSTALLATION

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. See Speciﬁcations

section for L x W dimensions.

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 (5.1 or 7.6 cm) 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 (5.1 or

7.6 cm) 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

 WARNING

HSBs weigh approximately 300-500 lbs (136-227 kg)

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 structure or any other enclosure

component as damage to the HSB may occur, including

possible injury of persons when handling and or moving the

HSB in this manner.

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 (A) and electrical (B)

entry points. When placement is done this side generally faces the

closest point to each of those sources for fuel and electrical entry.

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.

Installation Preparation

 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 aXis Controller

is in the “OFF”

position. It is recommended to pull the control module fuse located

on the front panel and turn the circuit breaker to the OFF position.

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

Check oil level, add oil if required. Add oil to full capacity as

stated in the speciﬁcation section before starting the HSB.

Never operate the HSB with the engine oil level below the

“ADD” mark on the dipstick, doing so could damage the

engine. Check the oil level and add the appropriate viscosity

and amount indicated on the oil dipstick full line. The

recommended oil type for typical use is 0W-40 full synthetic

oil.

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 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 5 to 7 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.

The HSB is EPA Phase 3 certiﬁed for LPG and NG fuels.

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° F (5.5° C) above

77° F (25° C). 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.

FLEXIBLE FUEL LINE

A ﬂexible fuel line (1) is to be installed between the stationary fuel

supply line pipe and the fuel inlet pipe to the HSB. This ﬂexible

fuel line is included with 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.

Refer to the “Fuel Pipe Sizing Chart” contained in this manual.

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. If your installation requires

the engine to run on LPG, a set of oriﬁces in the Master Mixer

Assembly (carburetor system) MUST be changed for 14-kW (Model

100515). The LPG set of oriﬁces are enclosed (shipped) with the

HSB.

22-kW (Model 100304) only requires to change the entire

mixer assembly jet block. The jet block is 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 54 and related

codes. Gas line connections should be made by a certiﬁed

plumber familiar with local codes.

 DANGER

LPG is highly explosive. Even the slightest spark can ignite and

cause an explosion, which could cause burns or ﬁre 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.

Pipe sizes are measured by inside diameter (ID) to include any

ﬁttings, valves, elbows, tees or angles. Add 2.5 feet (.76 m) per

any bend, tee or angle in the pipe to the overall distance. For each

90 degree elbow, add 8 ft. (2.4m) to the measurement. 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.

6. FULL FUEL SHUT OFF

A minimum of one accessible, approved manual full fuel shutoff

valve shall be installed in the fuel supply line of the HSB. 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 (1) 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 (1) 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.

HOME STANDBY GENERATOR- ALL aXis CONTROLLER

MODELS

INSTALLATION

 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.

 WARNING

The starting system is a 24-volt DC system. The two 12-volt

batteries MUST be wired in series to achieve the correct

voltage.

Damage will result if the battery connections are made in

reverse, refer to owner manual or installation manual for

typical installation. Dielectric grease should be applied on

battery posts to aid in prevention of corrosion. Cables supplied

with the HSB.

This HSB is equipped with an automatic ﬂoat type battery trickle

charger powered by utility power, to maintain full battery power

while in standby (non-running) mode. This trickle charger will not

recharge a fully discharged or defective battery.

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.

 CAUTION

The electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid that is harmful to the

skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive.

 CAUTION

The following procedures are to be observed:

1. Wear full eye protection and protective clothing,

2. Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it immediately

with water,

3. Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, ﬂush thoroughly and

immediately with water and seek 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.

 WARNING

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

 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.

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 waterproof enclosures and only come with knockouts on

the bottom side of the enclosure. If a NEMA 3R enclosure in used

for an inside installation, a greenlee type punch will be required to

make a knockout(s) on the side or top of the enclosure.

Conduits should be arranged to provide separation between

the Utility Source and HSB Source supply conduits inside the

enclosure. Conductor wires must be properly supported, of

approved insulated qualities, protected by approved conduit and

of the correct wire gauge size in accordance with all applicable

codes.

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.

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.

2. Connector #2 (center), 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.

3. Connector #3 (far right connector), has 2 leads. A RED lead

(top) that runs to the positive side of the brush assembly, and

a BLACK lead (bottom) 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.

NOTICE

When maintenance or service work is performed on the

generator or the home’s electrical system, to prevent

accidental startup pull out the fuse from the aXis Controller

panel and disconnect the batteries.

This generator has ON/OFF switches that when turned off, will

shut down the HSB (if running) and deactivate the aXis controller

preventing future starts. These switches should be used in

instances where the HSB needs to stay off regardless of utility

power presence. When either switch is in the OFF position, the

HSB will not exercise or start for any reason.

When both of the switches are in the ON position, the aXis

controller

will be energized and the HSB will be controlled by the

programming of the aXis controller

. Both switches need to be in

the ON position in order for the HSB to operate in AUTO mode.

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 FAULT CODE RESET 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. This can be veriﬁed by checking the Battery Charger icon, NO CHARGE. 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.

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

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 includes sensors to detect when a power failure (utility lost)

occurs. These sensors trigger the ATS to disengage the home from

the utility power. When the HSB reaches the proper voltage and

frequency, the ATS will automatically transfer generator power to

the home.

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.

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 has knockouts on the bottom

and side, and requires water tight connections when installed

outside per code. This enclosure can also be used inside.

aXis Controller

Module

This standby generator is designed to communicate with the ATS

using the integrated aXis Controller

. In order to utilize features

such as load management, wiﬁ programming, wireless exercise

programming, etc., it is necessary that the ATS contains aXis

Controller

electronics.

While it is possible to connect this standby generator to a

non-aXis Controller

ATS using the two-wire connection shown

in this manual, it will reduce the functionality of the standby

generator signiﬁcantly. If the standby generator is being controlled

with the two-wire connection, the standby generator will turn

on and off based on the two-wire signal. Full power will still be

provided through the circuit breaker however will lose functionality

of the ATS (like day, date, time, excercise settings).

ATS Installation

Refer to the ATS instruction guide enclosed with each ATS

for information related to the installation, operation, service,

troubleshooting, and warranty.

After Performing Installation of Champion ATS with aXis

Controller

, complete the following steps to ﬁnish the installation

of this standby generator.

OTE: N If a non-aXis Controller

ATS was installed, please skip

Installing Standby Generator to non-aXis

Controller

ATS

OTE: N This section is only for those looking to install their

aXis Controller

HSB to a non-aXis Controller

ATS that

supports a two-wire HSB start/stop signal. Please refer to

the ATS installation manual for instructions on how to wire

the ATS.

If the aXis Controller

HSB is being connected to a

non-aXis Controller

ATS, it will be necessary to use a two-wire

connection shown below to control the on/off operation of this

HSB. Note that this will disable some of the aXis Controller

features such as load management, WiFi connectivity, and

wireless exercise programming.

TWO-WIRE CONNECTION

A two-wire connection refers to a signal circuit that runs between

the non-aXis Controller

ATS and the HSB. When installed in this

conﬁguration, the HSB will turn on and off based on the signal it is

receiving from the ATS.

The aXis Controller

HSB uses pin 2 and pin 11 on the back of

the aXis Controller

to control two-wire starting. When pin 11

(normally 5VDC) is connected to pin 2 (ground), the generator will

start and will continue to run until pin 11 is disconnected from pin

2 (ground). When pin 11 is disconnected from pin 2 (ground), the

HSB will start the cool-down cycle and stop.

To wire the HSB to be controlled by the two-wire start signal, tap

into the wires for pin 2 and pin 11 on the HSB and run them to a

relay (not provided) that will close the circuit when the ATS wants

the generator to run. Refer to the ATS instructions for the ATS

logic on how to create the circuit.
