HOME STANDBY GENERATOR- ALL aXis CONTROLLER
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.

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

Surge protection
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
