Reliance Controls 30216BRK - Manual (Page 7)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Mounting the Transfer Switch
1. Position the transfer switch so that its bottom center
is about 18 inches from the bottom center of your
load center. The end of the flexible conduit whip
should be lined up with a ¾” or 1” knockout hole on
the bottom of your load center. Select a ¾”
knockout for 4- and 6-circuit transfer switches, and a
1” knockout for 10-circuit transfer switches(Figure 2).
2.
Mark the position of the holes on the four external
feet with a pencil.
3. Anchor the transfer switch to the wall with four
appropriate anchors (with a flange of at least 3/8”).
NOTE: Do not attempt to bend the flexible conduit
whip beyond its structural capabilities.
B. Connecting the Flexible Conduit
Whip to Your Load Center
1.
Set up battery-powered lighting to clearly illuminate
your work area.
2. Turn off the main utility breaker (Figure 3).
3. Remove the cover of your load center. Keep in mind
that the wires on the utility side of the main breaker
are still live and if contacted could cause serious
injury or death. If available, use a non-contact
voltage detector to insure that the power is off on the
non-utility side of the main breaker.
4.
Remove the appropriate knockout hole in the bottom
of your load center with a screwdriver and hammer.
(See step A-1 above.)
5. Insert all of the wires extending from the end of the
flexible conduit whip through the knockout hole.
Snap the conduit connector attached to the whip into
the knockout hole.
Even with the main power switch
turned off, the wires on the utility side
of the main breaker are still live and
contact with them can cause serious
injury or death.
