Reliance Installation and Operating Instructions

Key Components of the Reliance Transfer Switch

Circuit breakers. 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. In

the LINE position, each branch circuit is protected by the breaker in the load center.

Circuit selector switches. 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. The OFF position is generally not used, as a switch in the OFF position

removes that branch circuit from both utility and generator power.

Handle ties. Handle ties are used for 240-volt circuits. They may be removed for 120-volt

circuits. See page 6 for instructions on removing and adding handle ties.

Power inlet (cord-connected models only). The power cord from the generator is plugged

into this inlet. 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). If this indoor model is

installed outdoors, make sure it is protected from the outdoor elements.

Power inlet filler plate. Models without the power inlet installed have a filler plate

covering the hole in the wiring compartment cover (models shown on cover). This can be

replaced with a power inlet (see Power inlet above).

Wiring Compartment Cover. All models include a wiring compartment that can be used

to hard-wire the unit to a remote power inlet box.

Watt meters (select models only). 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 The ri

ht meter measures the load on

, B, C, and D 8-circuit E, F, G and H 8-circuit

, B, C, D and E 10-circuit F, G, H, I and J 10-circuit

Note: The watt meters will register only if power is being used from the generator.
