KEY COMPONENTS OF THE RELIANCE CONTROLS TRANSFER SWITCH AND
POWER TRANSFER KIT
Circuit breakers. Each transfer switch circuit has a 1-inch interchangeable circuit breaker that protects the
branch circuit when the circuit selector switch 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 or multi-wire branch circuits. They may be
removed for 120-volt circuits. See page 8 for instructions on removing and adding handle ties.
Power inlet. (cord-connected / outdoor 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 8 for
installation instructions). If an indoor model is installed outdoors, make sure it is protected from the outdoor
elements.
Wiring Space. All models include wiring space that can be used to hard-wire the unit to a remote power inlet
box.

Power inlet filler plate. Models without the power inlet have a filler plate covering the hole in the wiring
compartment cover. Models with a power inlet installed have a filler plate included in the carton. This can
replace the power inlet for hard-wire installation.
