System Setup; Remote Module Setup - Briggs & Stratton 100 AMP AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH Installation And Operator's Manual

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.
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
C
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.
