E. Installing 240 Volt Circuits
Reliance Controls 6-Circuit Transfer switch (In Kit) is shipped
from the factory with one installed handle tie on the two
middle switches C and D.
Let’s assume that, according to your set-up plan, Switches C
& D on the 6-Circuit transfer switch will be used to supply
power to your well pump, a 240 Volt appliance. (Figure 6)
1. Find the two red and the two black wires marked
C & D.
2. Turn off the double pole breaker for the well pump in
the load center.
3. Disconnect the two installed wires on the double pole
breaker.
4.
Cut the two red wires from Switches C & D at a length
convenient for them to reach to the double pole
breaker. Strip 5/8” from the end of each red wire.
Connect both red wires to the double pole circuit
breaker in place of the wires you just removed from
that breaker. It doesn’t matter in what order.
5. Cut the black wires marked C & D to a length
convenient to reach to the wires you removed from the
double pole breaker in #3. Strip 5/8” from the end of
each wire.
6. Connect one of the wires you removed from the double
pole breaker in #3 with one of the black wires (either C
or D) with a yellow wire connector. Similarly, connect
the other wire you removed with the remaining black
wire with a wire connector.
F. Completing the Installation of the
Transfer Switch
When you have wired all of the circuits from the transfer
switch into your load center and have properly installed the
green and white wires to ground the unit, you have finished
the installation. (Figure 7) Jus t a few more steps to wrap
things up.
1.
Replace the cover of the load center.
2.
If you have not already done so, fill in the chart on the
top of the transfer switch to identify your emergency
circuits and the toggle switches they correspond to.

Finishing Up
After you have completed all the steps necessary in Sections
A through F, complete the system installation by doing the
following:
1.
Turn on all of the circuit breakers in your load center.
2.
Turn on the main breaker.
3.
Position all switches on the transfer switch to the LINE
position.
4. IMPORTANT! In order to insure that all wiring
connections have been properly completed and that
your system functions properly under generator power, it
is important to test each circuit before turning on any
devices or appliances connected to that circuit. Correct
voltage output can and should be checked with a voltage
meter at any convenient electrical outlet on each branch
circuit that is wired through the transfer switch. This
should be done under generator power with the
appropriate circuit breaker switch in the “GEN” position.

The transfer switch circuits with 20 Amp breakers must be connected
only to branch circuits with 20 Amp breakers in the load center. Do
not connect transfer switch circuits to any branch circuits greater
than 20 Amps.
NOTE: The transfer switch circuits with 15 Amp breakers can be
connected to branch circuits with either 15 or 20 Amp breakers in the
load center.
