INTRODUCTION
Your Briggs & Stratton Wireless StatStation 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 expended 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.
Equipment Description
This wireless StatStation is designed to report on the status
of your home standby system and requires:
• Briggs & Stratton Home Standby Generator with
Intelligen package
• Briggs & Stratton Transfer Switch with AC Control
Module II
Your home standby system provides an alternate source of
electric power to serve loads such as a gas furnace, a
refrigerator, or a communications system that, when
stopped during any power outage, could cause discomfort or
damage. This wireless StatStation includes a transmitter
which sends the status of your system, including
maintenance requirements and alarms, to a convenient
display console inside your home.
Every effort has been made to provide for a safe, streamlined
and cost-effective installation. Each installation is unique,
and it is impossible to know of and advise of all conceivable
procedures and methods by which installation might be
achieved. We do not know all possible hazards or the results
of each method or procedure.
For these reasons,
Only licensed electrical contractors should install the
transmitter component of your StatStation. Installations
must strictly comply with all applicable federal, state, and
local codes, standards, and regulations.
For the Home Owner
To help you make informed choices and communicate
effectively with your installation contractor(s),
Read and understand the Owner Orientation Section
of this manual BEFORE contracting or starting your
Wireless StatStation transmitter installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which
you purchased your Briggs & Stratton Wireless StatStation,
your dealer, or your utility power provider.
The Wireless StatStation System Warranty is VOID
unless the system is installed by a
licensed electrical professional.
The illustrations depict typical circumstances and are meant
to familiarize you with the installation options available with
your Wireless StatStation.
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.
The factors mentioned above will have a direct effect on the
overall price of your wireless StatStation installation.
NOTE: Your installer must check local codes AND obtain
permits before installing the system.
