Why buy a Home Standby Generator? Any customer who wants backup power for residential or light commercial use is a potential BRYANT purchaser. Customers shop for one of two reasons: 1) They have experienced a power outage in the past, or 2) They have learned about the uncertain future of their electrical power supply. COST JUSTIFICATION • Increase the value of your home, improve the quality of your life, and protect your family. • People are willing to spend thousands of dollars on plasma screen tv’s.
FACTS ABOUT YOUR POWER SUPPLY • Severe weather patterns have increased dramatically over the past few years. • hurricanes • ice storms • thunderstorms • heatwaves • floods The power outages caused by these weather events are occurring more frequently and lasting longer. • Increased demand for air conditioning during frequently occurring heat waves create more blackouts and brownouts than all other weather patterns combined.
A home standby generator is a pre-packaged, fully automatic generator system. The system is designed to supply electrical power to pre-selected emergency circuits that supply a homes lighting, heat, air conditioning, water and appliances. The home standby generator produces electricity without the customer having to lift a finger.

Automatic transfer switch with built-in load center C. 2’ pre-wired conduit for easy connection to the main electrical distribution panel B C D. Outdoor connection box prewired to generator controls and main line circuit breaker E. Flexible fuel line for connection from rigid gas pipe to generator fuel inlet D F.
WHAT’S INCLUDED: EASY INSTALLATION Pre-packaged & pre-wired 120V GFCI OUTLET & 12V DC RECEPTACLE POWER SUPPLY EVERYDAY BRYANT air-cooled models feature an exterior mounted 120V GFCI duplex outlet and internal 12V DC outlet to increase the functionality of the generator. During an outage or while operating the generator manually, the outlets can power outdoor lights or recharge cell phones. With the flip of a switch you can run power tools and lawn & garden tools.
How the Home Standby Generator Works 1. The BRYANT ATS monitors incoming voltage from the utility line around the clock. 2. When utility power is interrupted, the transfer switch immediately senses the problem and signals the generator set to start. 3. The transfer switch then safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator.
4. Within seconds your BRYANT system begins supplying electricity to the circuits you have chosen to be powered in a utility failure. The lights and appliances on these circuits are again functioning normally. The transfer switch continues to monitor the utility line conditions in order to retransfer back to the utility source when it returns. 5.
How to Size a Generator The number of circuits the customer needs protected during a power outage will determine the size of generator. The more coverage needed, the more circuits needed. A 7 kW AIR-COOLED MODEL WITH 8 CIRCUITS CAN RUN: Kitchen (2 circuits), Furnace, Family Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Sump or Well Pump and Garage Air-cooled generators are intended to power a home’s essential items and come equipped with an automatic transfer switch available with 8, 10 or 12 circuits.

Installation Preparation Air-cooled models only. ITEMS YOU NEED: • Battery should be 12 volt, negative ground with top posts. ASPAS1BBA007: Minimum 350 CCA at 0° F (Group 26) ASPAS1BBA012 & ASPAS1BBA015: Minimum 525 CCA at 0° F (Group 26) • 40 Amp (7 kW) or 70 Amp (12 kW and 15 kW) double pole circuit breaker (Must be compatible with your main distribution panel.
OBTAIN PERMITS 1. Visit your local municipal office to obtain necessary permits for installation. FUEL CONNECTION 2. Arrange to have a natural gas or LP gas fuel connection, complete with shut-off valve, located within 1' of generator fuel inlet. PREPARE LOCATION 3. Clear an area 5-1/2 feet by 5 feet minimum of grass and vegetation to a depth of 5 inches.
7. Remove the knockout in the lower right corner of the external connection box. From the rear of the connection box, feed wires & 4-pin plug into box. Slip the lock nut over the wires and plug and tighten securely onto conduit coupling. Match and connect wires by color to lugs with existing wires. Snap together the 4-pin connector. Loosen the nut from the grounding lug and attach ground wire (green) from the conduit. Reinstall the nut and tighten. Mount external connection box over pre-drilled hole.
INSTALLATION CONT. 10.(All wires are color coded and labeled with amperage and voltage to make connection easy.) Simply disconnect the black wire from the circuit breaker in the main panel and reconnect it to the appropriate wire from the emergency load center with a wire nut. Repeat this step for the rest of the circuits to be run by the generator. 11. Install the 40 Amp or 70 Amp double pole circuit breaker into the main electrical distribution panel.
Frequently Asked Questions Q How long does it take to install a generator system? A The air-cooled 7 kW, 12 kW and 15 kW, which come equipped with a comprehensive installation kit, can take as little as 4 hours. The liquid-cooled will normally take up to 14 hours, over 2 days. The reason is that while the air-cooled units include a composite mounting pad, the liquid-cooled units, because of the added weight, must be placed on a stronger mounting surface.
FAQ- HOME STANDBY equipped with 8 circuits, the 12/12 kW with 10 circuits and the 15/13 kW comes equipped with 12 circuits integrated in the transfer switch. You can determine your BRYANT size requirement by identifying what circuits from your home's main distribution panel you wish to supply with back-up power. Simply choose the circuit from your home that you wish to provide with BRYANT power and match it to a same amperage circuit on the BRYANT transfer switch.
Q What is the maintenance schedule? A The maintenance schedule is in the owner’s manual. The schedule varies between the aircooled and the liquid-cooled models. Q What is the expected life of the engine? A A properly maintained engine should provide over 20 years of operation under standby conditions. Q How much oil does the engine crankcase hold? A Air-cooled: (7 kW) = 1.5 qts Air-cooled: (12 kW, 15 kW) = 1.7 qts Liquid-cooled: 25 & 40 kW = 4.5 qts.
Q What kind of warranty does Bryant provide? A The home standby generator is backed with a 2year limited parts and labor warranty. Extended warranties are also available. Q Who do I contact if I have further questions? A Please call 1-877-901-2792 or e-mail at info@hsbbryant.com. Q Is there technical training available for these products? A Yes. Please visit www.HVACPartners.com for the most current offerings. 25 FAQ- HOME STANDBY Q Propane tanks are usually rated by pounds.
Disadvantages of a Portable Generator • You have to find the generator. How do you do that? It’s dark. Does it have gasoline in it? Do you have a full gas can on hand? Is the oil in it? Does it start? Do you have to pull-start repeatedly? • Has the unit been stored for a long period or dropped after it was last used? That could result in the loss of the residual magnetic field. • You must physically move the generator from storage to the area where you will manually start it. You hope it starts.
