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 right meter measures the load on
A, B and C 6-circuit D, E and F 6-circuit
A, B, C, and D 8-circuit E, F, G and H 8-circuit
A, 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.
