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 measure the
loads using a clamp-on AMP meter to 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
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

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 home owner on the location and operation of;
• Full flow shutoff valve
• Automatic operation of the HSB system
• Battery Charger and LED indicators
• Exterior Warning 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 a copy of the ATS back-
up 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.
