APPENDIX A – RTSI TRANSFER SWITCH
INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL TESTING
1. Before beginning any installation, make sure power is shut
OFF to the main distribution panel and carefully read the
Owner's Manual that came with the transfer switch.
To simplify the installation process, the transfer switch
should be mounted as close to the main distribution panel as
possible. Make sure no water or corrosive substances can
drip onto the transfer switch enclosure.
2. Always inspect the switch for shipping damage. Never mount
a transfer switch that shows any evidence of damage.
3. Protect against impact and mount the switch vertically to a rigid
support structure. Make sure the switch is level and plumb.
Check local codes before wiring the transfer switch. Some
jurisdictions require that wiring inside the switch be done by a
licensed electrician.

4. All wiring must be the correct size and type, and must
conform to all codes, standards and regulations. Refer to the
transfer switch Owner's Manual.
5. As with any product, design changes can occur over time, so
always refer to the schematics in the transfer switch Owner's
Manual for the required connections and safety precautions.
6. The transfer switch being used is an open transition switch.
Open transition switches prevent electrical feedback between
the generator and the utility by only allowing load circuits to
be connected to one power supply at a time.
