HOME STANDBY GENERATOR- ALL aXis CONTROLLER
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
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).

fULL SYSTEM CHECk
1. Open Utility breaker for full system test, close breaker after
confirming all systems working.
2. After Utility breaker opens engine will start automatically.
3. aXis ATS control panel will reboot on Generator power and
control switching of latching relays.
4. Home is now powered by Generator. If Load Management
modules (LMM) have been installed, please allow 5 minutes
for LMM and AC1/AC2 to become active.
5. Perform Load Learning through ATS panel at this time. LMM
units will be dropped and reacquired in order.
6. Close Utility breaker.
7. System is now fully functional.
Commissioning the ATS
1. Put the aXis Controller
2. With door and deadfront removed from the ATS cabinet,
confirm Generator and Utility circuit breakers are in the "OFF"
position.
3. Re-enable the Utility power to ATS.
4. At ATS panel switch Utility circuit breaker to the "ON"
position. Allow at least 6 minutes for all ATS functions to
resume on controller.
5. Confirm ATS controller in ATS panel has fully booted and
LED's indicate proper operating condition.
