Installation Preparations
Installation Instructions:
FHP needs to be connected and configured with all installed residential systems to optimize its function as a back-up power supply.
Typical installed power sources include the power distribution system, the generator system, and the solar generation system,
DANGER: All installation must comply with the local laws, regulations, norms and standards of the installation site.
DANGER: The installation of Home Power must comply with all applicable requirements of NFPA855.
DANGER: Both electric connection and electric isolation need to comply with the local standards and National Electric Codes
(NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Standards Association CAS C22.1.
DANGER: The installer needs to utilize suitable conduits and cables to complete the installation process in accordance with
applicable local regulations and UL514B.
DANGER: The installation site selection process must follow the installation site safety instructions.
DANGER: Fire detection and protection systems should be included in the aPower installation area in accordance with the local
building and fire codes. Temperature detectors and fire detectors must be used in the vicinity of the installation zone and must be
connected to the family fire control system.
DANGER: aPower may be installed on the floor or on walls. In both cases mounting brackets will be needed to stabilize the
unit. aPower units are very heavy and wall mounted installation is more difficult. Floor mounted installation is recommended.
DANGER: Before the installation of Home Power starts, engineers should check and locate wall embedded electric wires and
water pipes to avoid potential property damage and personal injury during the installation process.
WARNING: Selection of the aPower installation site must take into consideration the operational noise (≤46dB). Selection of
an installation site might require consent of the local residents.
WARNING: A hardwired internet connection at the aGate installation area is recommended. Hardwired connection provides a
more robust system so that users can remotely monitor the operation status of their Home Power system.
WARNING: Home Power is composed of aPower and aGate, which can not be used separately.
WARNING: aPower may only be used at the backup side of aGate.
WARNING: The inputs must be connected before the aGate’s main relay to prevent short circuiting or bypassing the main relay.
WARNING: aGate must be connected to all applicable inputs and output at the same time and should be wired in accordance
with local regulations.
Recommended Installation Preparation Guidelines:
● Work out a specific construction plan based on the customer information and site investigation.
● Review the plan several times to identify potential errors or obscure parts.
● Notify user to clear the installation site and its access paths to ensure equipment can be quickly delivered to the installation site and
that the installation process can proceed efficiently.
