INSTALLATION

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH

(ATS)
Refer to the Reliance instruction guide enclosed with each unit
for information related to installation, operation, service, trouble
shooting and warranty (Champion part number 101271).
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 module switch (located in the HSB control panel) includes
sensors to detect when a power failure (utility lost) occurs. These
sensors trigger the ATS to disengage the home from the utility
power. After the home disconnected from the utility, the HSB
engine will start. When the unit reaches the proper voltage and
frequency, the ATS will automatically transfer generator power
to the pre-determined load circuits that have been selected and
connected to the transfer switch.
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.
The Champion Fast/Tran is an automatic transfer switch (ATS)
designed to provide a safe and simple method of powering
designated branch circuits from a permanently installed back-
up AC power source. The electrical-over-mechanical transfer
switching and interlocking system prevents accidental feedback
of backup power to the utility lines. The extremely high speed
switching system avoids the electrical appliance shutdowns that
can occur with other transfer switches when transitioning from
back-up power to utility power.
NEMA 1 – This type of enclosed ATS is for indoor installations
only.
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 only has
knockouts on the bottom side for the enclosure, requires water
tight fasteners/grommets when installed outside per code. This
enclosure can also be used inside.

Part No. 101049 Rev. B
The ATS is also equipped with manual transfer switch operation
which is generally utilized for system checks and function tests
of the system, refer to manual.
The HSB is also equipped with a standard weekly test that starts
the unit automatically at a specific set time, once every 7 days
(set by installer or owner) and exercises the HSB unit. It does not
transfer loads to the generator, this exercise is a systems check,
refer to manual

UNPACKING

Allow the ATS to warm to room temperature for at least 24 hours
before unpacking to prevent condensation on the electrical
apparatus. Use care when unpacking to avoid damaging transfer
switch components. Use a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to
remove dirt and packing material that may have accumulated in
the transfer switch or any of its components.
Do not use compressed air to clean the switch. Cleaning with
compressed air can cause debris to lodge in the components
and damage the switch per the ATS manufacturer.
Retain the ATS manual with or near the ATS for future reference.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

Install the ATS as close as possible to main utility distribution
panel. Wires will run between the utility main distribution panel
and the ATS, proper installation and conduit is required by
code. Mount the ATS vertically to a rigid supporting structure.
To prevent the ATS or enclosure box from distortion, level all
mounting points, use washers behind the mounting holes
(outside the enclosure, between enclosure and supporting
structure).
CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR UTILITY MAIN
CONTROL PANEL AND ATS
The Utility Main Control Panel requires a 35.5 ampere double-
pole circuit breaker as a feeder for the ATS. Refer to inside label/
decal on the ATS enclosure front panel for recommendations.
ATS branch circuit breakers must match the Utility Main Control
breakers amp rating to which they will provide power outage.
Refer to the inside label/decal on the ATS front panel for
recommendations.
