If you need more information about the transfer switch, call
800-743-4115, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT.
Equipment Description
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.

6 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM
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.
Delivery Inspection
After opening the carton, carefully inspect the transfer
switch components for any damage that may have occurred

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
NOTICE Before drilling conduit entry holes, or any other holes,
cover and protect the switch and electronics to prevent dirt and
metal fragments from entering the mechanical and electrical
components. Failure to do so may result in damage or malfunction
of the switch.
NOTICE Use a vacuum to clean any dirt or metal shavings inside
the transfer switch. Do not use a blower or compressed air to clean
the inside of the transfer switch because debris may become lodged
in the electrical and mechanical components causing damage or

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.
• 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.
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.
Set dipswitches with power removed from the transfer switch to
ensure proper control system operation. If dipswitches are set
when power is present at transfer switch, a power reset needs to be
performed before the new dipswitch settings will take effect. Power
reset is when all power is removed from the transfer switch and
then reintroduced after 30 seconds.
NOTICE A transfer switch fault message will occur on standby
generator control board if dipswitches are not properly established
as noted above.
To properly establish the dipswitches, make sure that only one
dipswitch is set to “ON” position for DPSW1 and one dipswitch for
DPSW2. For example a 20kW generator, set DPSW2 dipswitch 20
to “ON” position and DPSW1 dipswitch 0 to “ON” position.
20,000 plus 0 equal 20,000 watts.
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.
Refer to following chart for proper switch selection(s).
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.
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.

Remote Module Setup
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.
Testing the Automatic Transfer Switch
Turn the utility service disconnect circuit breaker feeding the
transfer switch contactor to the OFF position. The system’s
automatic sequence described below will initiate. To return to utility
power, turn the utility service disconnect circuit breaker to the
ON position.
Utility Fail
The generator senses when utility voltage is below 70percent of
nominal. Engine start sequence is initiated after 6second time
delay.
Engine Warm-Up
Time delay to allow for engine warm-up before transfer. Use jumper
on transfer switch control board to select delay of
20seconds or 50 seconds.
Transfer
Transfer from utility to generator supply occurs after voltage is
above set levels. The transfer switch control board LED lights will
change from green (utility) to red (generator) and the Symphony II
status light will change blink status from Blink Blink_Pause_Blink
Blink to Blink_Pause_Blink. Minimum engine run time is 5 minutes
after transfer.
Load Management
Five minutes after transfer to generator power, the remote modules
energize connected load(s) if generator power is available, starting
with the highest priority (1) through the lowest priority (8). There is
a 10 second delay between each sequential activation.
The P1 through P8 LED’s (A) on the Symphony II control board will
illuminate to show loads being added.
Loads connected to remote modules set to priorities 9 and 10
remain off for the duration of a utility power outage.
Utility Pickup
Voltage pickup level is 80 percent of nominal voltage.
Retransfer
Retransfer from generator to utility power is approximately 10
seconds after utility voltage supply is above pickup level and
minimum run time is completed. All remote module(s) will remain
OFF for five minutes after the power transfer.
Engine Cool Down
Engine will run for 60 seconds after retransfer.

The Symphony II system can be tested under either utility power
or generator power. Only one priority LED and associated remote
module will be powered (ON) at a time during test mode.
• If TEST is not pressed again within 4 minutes AND testing is
being done under utility power, all managed loads will resume
operation under utility power after a five minute delay.
• If TEST is not pressed again within 4 minutes AND testing is
being done under generator power, managed loads will be
added in the priority order set for eachload.
The test procedure in generator mode is as follows:
1. Turn the utility service disconnect circuit breaker feeding the
transfer switch contactor to the OFFposition.
2. After transfer to generator power, verify communication LED
is green on each remote module.
3. Press the TEST button (B) on the Symphony II system control
board. The Symphony II system control board priority 1 LED
(C) and load connected to remote module set to priority 1 will
turn ON.
4. Verify signal was received by remote module set to priority
one. Follow the test guidelines for each module:
50 Amp Module: Relay contacts will be closed. Relay and
communication LED’s will be green. Appliance/load will
have power.
Low Voltage Module (Single or Dual): Verify continuity
across low voltage control wiring contacts (A).
Communication LED will be green. Appliance/load will
have power.
5. Press the TEST button on the Symphony II system control
board. The priority 1 LED and load connected to remote
module set to priority 1 will turn OFF.
50 Amp Module: If off, relay LED status is off.
Communication LED status is green.
Low Voltage Module (Single or Dual): If off, low voltage
communication LED status is green. Continuity will not be
measured across low voltage contacts.
The priority 2 LED (D) and load connected to remote module
set to priority 2 will turn ON. Repeat step 4 for each priority
number being managed.
6. Each subsequent press of the TEST button cycles to the next
lower priority, through priority 8. After priority 8, press TEST
button one time to exit test mode. The system will reset and
be ready to add loads in 5 minutes.
7. To return to utility power, turn the utility disconnect circuit
breaker to the ON position. All managed loads will be turned
off and turn back on after 5 minutes.

Controls
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.
Maintenance
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.
Operation
To select automatic transfer operation, do the following:
1. In transfer switch, set utility disconnect circuit breaker
to ON position.
2. In transfer switch, set generator disconnect circuit breaker to
ON position.
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.
Enclosure Door
To open the transfer switch door, remove the two exterior
thumb screws (A) and carefully lift off door.
To close and secure the door, push door closed against
enclosure making sure that the tab on the enclosure fits into
the slot on the door. While in this position, the door can
rest on the tab (B) at the bottom of the enclosure. Reinstall
both thumb screws to finger tight. Enclosure door MUST be
closed and secured at all times except when system is being
serviced.
