od r tio To help you make informed choices and communicate effectively with your installation contractor(s), read and understand Owner Orientation before contracting or starting your equipment installation. To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which you purchased your equipment, your dealer, or your utility power provider. The equipment warranty is VOID unless the system is installed by licensed electrical professionals. Owner Orientation

The transfer switch is designed to transfer selected loads found in normal residential installations to standby power in the event of a primary power outage. The load is connected either to utility power (normal) or home standby power (generator). The transfer switch monitors utility and generator voltages and will automatically connect loads to the appropriate source of power. The Symphony™ II Power Management System is highly flexible and utilizes individual high and low voltage modules that can be mounted anywhere between the home’s main distribution panel and the managed appliance. Designed to communicate via your home’s existing power wiring, the power demand and priority sequence of up to 8 appliance loads are relayed back to the standby generator, effectively preventing generator overload while expanding power range and performance. The system is scalable and additional relays can be added as a homeowner’s power management needs change over time. Only a licensed electrician should complete a home standby installation. Service conduit and conductors can be wired directly from the watt-hour meter to the transfer switch. A separate service entrance disconnect and associated wiring is not required when installed per applicable federal, state and local codes, standards and regulations. Major components of the transfer switch are a 2 pole utility disconnect circuit breaker, a 2 pole generator disconnect circuit breaker, a 2 pole double throw transfer switch, transfer switch control circuit board, Symphony II power management system control circuit board, fused utility terminals and interconnecting wiring. All of these components are housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The transfer switch is solenoid-operated from utility or generator inputs and contain suitable mechanical and electrical interlock switches to eliminate the possibility of connecting the utility service to the generator output. It has ratings capable of switching full utility power into the residence. In addition, a manual override lever is provided for the transfer function.

We sincerely appreciate your patronage and have made significant effort to provide for a safe, streamlined and costeffective installation. Because each installation is unique, it is impossible to know of and advise the trade of all conceivable procedures and methods by which installation might be achieved. Neither could we know of possible hazards and/or the results of each method or procedure. For these reasons, only current licensed electrical professionals should attempt system installations. Installations must strictly comply with all applicable codes, industry standards and regulations. Your equipment is supplied with this combined “Installation and Operator’s Manual”. This is an important document and should be retained by the owner after the installation has been completed. Every effort has been made to make sure that the information in this manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the system at any time without prior notice.

The illustrations provided are for typical circumstances and are meant to familiarize you with the installation options available with your system. Local codes, appearance, and distances are the factors that must be considered when negotiating with an installation professional. As the distance from the existing electrical service increases, compensation in wiring materials must be allowed for. This is necessary to comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage drops. These factors will have a direct effect on the overall price of your equipment installation. Your installer must check local codes AND obtain permits before installing the system.

• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.
• Follow a regular schedule in caring for and using your equipment, as specified in this manual.

Delivery Inspection After opening the carton, carefully inspect the transfer switch components for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the freight bill and affix his signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted after delivery, contact the carrier for claim procedures. Missing or damaged parts are not warranted. Shipment contents:

• Automatic transfer switch
• Installation and operator’s manual
• Current transformers (2)

Optional components:

• Low voltage module (single or dual models)
• Symphony™ II power monitor

The transfer switch control board has active circuits sensing utility and generator voltages. It creates a signal for generator start-up, switch transfer and retransfer when utility is restored. The transfer switch control board provides status LED’s to indicate the power source available. The Symphony™ II power management system control board contains a test button, a status LED and eight priority load LED’s. It creates and sends signals to optional remote modules, instructing them when to add (turn power on) or shed (turn power off) the managed load. The Symphony II system power line carrier technology has been rigorously tested and has proven to be very robust. However, certain types of devices and appliances in the home generate ‘noise’ on the power line. Such devices may include non-residential fluorescent ballasts, dimmers, speed controls (lighting and fans), bathroom equipment, kitchen equipment, power tools, phone chargers, and power supplies. These types of devices have the greatest impact on power line communication when located close to a remote module. AM broadcast radio, X10, power line carrier (PLC), uninterrupted power supply (UPS), transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) systems, and power filter technology may also cause the Symphony II system to not operate as intended. They may cause interference with the Symphony II system during standby power operation. If it is determined that power line noise is causing a communication issue with the Symphony II system, the following changes may remedy the issue.

• Have commercial (non consumer use) fluorescent ballasts replaced with residential use ballasts.
• Have a EMI/RFI filter installed in series and near the problematic device.
• Have the remote module rewired to the opposite power line (Line 1 or Line 2) from that of the problematic device.
• Refer to Troubleshooting section. The optional 50 Amp remote module is designed for control by the Symphony II system to add or shed appliance loads connected to it based on a user-defined priority setting. This remote module manages 120VAC or 240VAC, single or double pole loads up to 50 amperes. The remote module’s relay state is normally open. Its components are housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. The optional low voltage remote module is designed for control by the Symphony II system to add or shed an air conditioner, heat pump, or low voltage contactor controlled loads based on a user-defined priority setting. The remote module is housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. Mounting Guidelines The transfer switch system circuitry is enclosed in a NEMA Type 3R enclosure suitable for indoor/outdoor use. Guidelines for mounting the enclosure include:
• Install enclosure on a firm, sturdy supporting structure.
• The transfer switch enclosure must be installed with minimum NEMA 3R hardware for conduit connections.
• To prevent switch contact distortion, level and plumb the enclosure. This can be done by placing washers between the enclosure and the mounting surface.
• NEVER install the switch or remote modules where any corrosive substance might drip onto the enclosure.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and corrosive vapors. A typical automatic transfer switch installation is depicted on the next page. Examples of remote module installations are also shown. It is best if the transfer switch is mounted near the utility meter, either inside or outside. The remote module can be located anywhere between the main distribution panel and its connected load, either inside or outside. The remote module must be accessible for service. Discuss layout suggestions/ changes with the owner before beginning the system installation process.

Typical Transfer Switch shown

BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM System Setup You must perform the following before operating the system:

• If generator is installed in an area regularly subjected to temperatures below 40°F (4°C), select a 50 second warm up time by moving jumper JP2 (C) installed on transfer switch control board from ‘20’ position to ‘50’ position.

NOTICE Use extreme caution when setting dipswitches or damage to control board will result.

• Use a pencil or small piece of plastic to set the dipswitch.
• NEVER use a screwdriver or any type of metal object to set dipswitches. The “On” position for the dipswitches is the switch number ON THE TRANSFER SWITCH CONTROL BOARD, not on the switch. For example, for an 18,000 watt generator, set DPSW2 dipswitch 10 to “On” position. Set DPSW1 dipswitch 8 to “On” position. 10,000 plus 8000 equals 18,000 watts. Set only one switch to “On” position on DPSW1 and DPSW2. NOTICE Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less available engine power. Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5% for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each 10° F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C). Generators located in these conditions must have the transfer switch programmed appropriately for this power decrease.

• Set the DPSW1 (A) and DPSW2 (B) dipswitches on the transfer switch control board to match the kW rating of the home standby generator, as described in Setting Dipswitches.

Each remote module features a priority selector (D) that permits control of load-add or load-shed sequence. Priority number is identified on clear protective barrier. Diagrams of each module are shown in Status LED’s, later in this manual. Priority 1 is the highest priority - devices set to this priority will be the first load(s) added or last load(s) shed in a load management situation. Priority 8 is the lowest priority.

Priority 9 and 10 are lockouts. Remote module(s) set to these priorities will remain unpowered during any utility power outage. An unlimited amount of remote modules can be assigned to priority 9 or 10. In consultation with the homeowner, set each remote module’s priority selector switch to the desired priority position. Assign a different priority to each remote module for optimum operation.

Setting Dipswitches Dipswitches are used to adjust control board operation based on generator capacity. DPSW1 and DPSW2 switches are set to correspond to total system kW rating. Dipswitch DPSW1 (A) has units of 1,000 watts; Dipswitch DPSW2 (B) has units of 10,000 watts.

3. Install 15 Amp fuse in generator’s control panel.

4. Set generator’s circuit breaker to “ON” position.

5. Set generator’s system switch to “AUTO” position.

The system will now be in automatic operation mode. When the generator is providing power to the transfer switch, the transfer switch control board is constantly monitoring generator power and communicating with the Symphony II system control board. The Symphony II system will control up to 8 priorities, with priority 9 and 10 as lockouts. When total generator load meets a preset value, the Symphony II system control board will start shedding loads, starting with the lowest priority (highest number) load. The Symphony II system will add or shed managed loads based on the generator output capacity and priority settings. The Symphony II system waits 10 seconds between adding or shedding each load to permit the system to stabilize. If too much load demand is seen, the Symphony II system will shed all managed loads quickly to prevent the generator from overloading. Once the load demand has stabilized, the Symphony II system will re-load the generator after a 5 minute delay, as described above. There is a minimum five minute delay between the time utility power is lost and priority 1 loads are energized by the Symphony II system. Be aware that managed heating element energy loads (such as electric range burners, oven, or space heaters) that were ON when utility power was lost, will be ON when the generator begins supplying power. It is advised that the owner check all such managed devices to ensure they are turned OFF before generator power appears. Managed devices like clothes dryers that require pressing a START button will not resume operation unless the START button is pressed after generator power begins. For your convenience, a Symphony II Power Monitor is available, which provides a visual “on/off” status of each managed appliance/load. A series of LED lights are ON when an appliance has generator power and OFF when the appliance is in a shed mode or does not have power. When on generator power, the consumer can see which appliances are being managed. A decal is provided that can be labeled with the managed appliances/loads and placed next to each priority LED. The monitor is plugged into any convenient standard outlet within the home and constantly receives system status via the power line communication technology utilized by the Symphony II Power Management System during generator power.

Other than a Manual Override lever, there are no operator controls because this is an automatic transfer switch. The manual override is to be used only by licensed professionals. Information on handle use can be obtained by calling Technical Service at 800-743-4115.

To close and latch door, push door closed against enclosure. While in this position, push door upwards. This will cause spring-load door lock to engage and latch door in place. Enclosure door MUST be closed and latched at all times except when system is being serviced.

The transfer switch is designed to be maintenance free under normal usage. However, inspection and maintenance checks should be made on a regular basis. Maintenance will consist mainly of keeping the transfer switch clean. Visual inspections should be done at least three times each year. Access to the transfer switch and optional remote modules must not be obstructed. Keep 3 feet (92 cm) clearance around transfer switch. Check for an accumulation of dirt, moisture and/or corrosion on and around the enclosure, loose parts/hardware, cracks and/or discoloration to insulation, and damaged or discolored components. Exercise the transfer switch and Symphony II system at least once every three months as described in Testing the Automatic Transfer Switch and in Testing the Symphony II Power Management System unless a power outage occurs and the entire home generator system has gone through an automatic sequence. Allow generator to run for at least 10 minutes during exercise cycle. Contact a licensed electrical professional to inspect and clean the inside of the enclosure and other components of your home generator system at least once a year.

For example, warranty service would not apply if equipment damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, the warranty is void if the manufacturing date or the serial number on the equipment has been removed or the equipment has been altered or modified.
