ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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.
• 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 at 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.

CUSTOMER FAMILIARIZATION SUMMARY

• It’s important to educate the home owner on proper maintenance, operation and service call procedures. A properly educated home owner can reduce unnecessary service trips and phone calls.
• Ensure that the installation of the HSB and ATS has been correctly performed as outlined by the manufacturer and that it meets all applicable codes.
• Test and confirm proper operation of the HSB and ATS system as outlined in the appropriate installation and owner’s manuals.
• Educate the homeowner on the location and operation of;
• Full flow shutoff valve
• Automatic operation of the HSB system
• Engine Control Module and LED indicators
• ATS Module and LED indicators
• Battery Charger and LED indicators
• Exterior fault code indicator LED on the backside of the HSB
• ATS operation
• Exercise scheduled time of operation
• Scheduled Maintenance
• Fill out and provide the customer a copy of the HSB, ATS model & serial number reference. This information is extremely important for part purchases and service information, these numbers are specific to each HSB and ATS.
• Fill out and provide the customer with a copy of the ATS backup circuits.
• Fill out the Circuit Label inside the ATS.
• It’s always a good business practice to place business cards in the Owner’s and Installation manuals and place dealer stickers on the HSB and ATS for the customer’s reference.

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.
