Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage and have made

significant effort to provide for a safe, streamlined and cost-

effective 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

power provider.

The equipment warranty is VOID unless the system is

installed by licensed electrical professionals.

Owner Orientation

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.

• Follow a regular schedule in caring for and using your

equipment, as specified in this manual.

Installing Dealer/Contractor Responsibilities

• Read and observe the Important Safety Instructions.

• Read and follow the instructions given in this manual.

• The installer may need to provide appropriate rated

contactors based on loads to be controlled.

• Discuss with owner their load priority preferences to

decide on remote module priority settings.

• Check federal, state and local codes and authority

having jurisdiction, for questions on installation.

• Ensure generator is not overloaded with selected loads.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Te sting the Symphony™ II Power

Management System

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.

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.

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.

Symphony™ II Power Monitor (Optional)

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.

Enclosure Door

To open transfer switch door, press the spring-load door lock

to the right and pull down on the door.

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.
