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 Installation Manual and a
separate Operator's Manual. These are important documents 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.

Home Owner Responsibilities

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 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.

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.

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.
