For outdoor units (model number begins with the letter “R”), connect the wires from the unit to the main panel per these installation instructions. For flush-mounted units (model number begins with the letter “F”), please see the supplemental installation instructions packaged with each unit, as they will supersede some of the instructions shown here. The following five steps generally apply to all transfer switch installations. Installation InstructionsĤ, 6, 8 or 10 yellow wire connectors (depending on the model)Ĥ red wire connectors for the 20A and 30A hard-wire modelsĤ blue wire connectors for the 50A hard-wire models Note: The wattmeters will register only if power is being used from the generator. The right meter measures the load on D, E and F 6-circuit E, F, G and H 8-circuit F, G, H, I and J 10-circuit These meters indicate the total load, in watts, on each side of the generator when the generator is supplying power as follows: The left meter measures the load on A, B and C 6-circuit A, B, C, and D 8-circuit A, B, C, D and E 10-circuit All models include a wiring compartment that can be used to hard-wire the unit to a remote power inlet box. This can be replaced with a power inlet (see Power inlet above). Models without the power inlet installed have a filler plate covering the hole in the wiring compartment cover (models shown on cover). If this indoor model is installed outdoors, make sure it is protected from the outdoor elements. This is supplied separately for indoor models to encourage the use of a remote connection outdoors reducing the likelihood of running the generator indoors which is extremely dangerous (see page 7 for installation instructions). The power cord from the generator is plugged into this inlet. Power inlet (cord-connected models only). See page 6 for instructions on removing and adding handle ties. They may be removed for 120-volt circuits. Handle ties are used for 240-volt circuits. The OFF position is generally not used, as a switch in the OFF position removes that branch circuit from both utility and generator power. These switches allow you to select either GEN (generator) or LINE (utility) as the power source for the branch circuits that have been wired through the transfer switch. In the LINE position, each branch circuit is protected by the breaker in the load center.Ĭircuit selector switches. Each transfer switch circuit has a 15- or 20-amp push-to-reset circuit breaker that protects the branch circuit when the circuit selector is in the GEN position. Key Components of the Reliance Transfer SwitchĬircuit breakers. ![]() Member, National Electrical Manufacturers Association Reliance Installation and Operating Instructions Reliance Controls Corporation is not responsible for damage or injury caused by incorrect installation of this transfer switch. To get AFCI or GFCI protection when running on generator power, it must be provided at the outlet(s). Caution: Reliance transfer switches covered in this manual should not be used for electric water heaters, clothes dryers, electric ranges, central air conditioners or other appliances or systems that may exceed the capacity of the product.Ĭaution: When the transfer switch is connected to branch circuits with AFCI or GFCI breakers, the AFCI or GFCI protection will be lost when, and only when, the toggle switch in the transfer switch is in the GEN position. ![]()
