GenReady, RTSY/T/W,B, & RTSJ,& RTSR/P/C/I (as Service Entrance Switch)
 Contact the Utility to turn off the power before attempting to connect the utility side of the switch.
 All power cables must enter the enclosure through the knockouts.
 Connect Utility (Normal) power source cables to Utility Service Disconnect circuit breaker.(GenReady)
 Connect Utility (Normal) power source cables to the Utility SERVICE Disconnect circuit
breaker.(RTSY,RTST,RTSW,RTSB & RTSJ)
 Connect Utility (Normal) power source cables (from Disconnect Switch) to the Utility Lugs on the
transfer Mechanism.(RTSR, RTSP, RTSC, & RTSI)

 Connect the Generator Standby source power cables to the switch terminals E1 and E2.
(RTSY,RTST,RTSW, RTSB, RTSR,RTSP,RTSC, RTSI)( RTSJ on ATS Switch)

Connect customer Load leads to 1 or 2-pole circuit breakers. (GenReady)
 Connect the customer Load leads to the switch terminals T1 and T2.(RTSY/T/W,
RTSR/P/C,RTSI,RTSB)

Connect Customer Load Leads (Nonessential Main Panel) to the LSS switch terminals E1 & E2. (RTSJ)
 Grounding and Bonding MUST be moved to the transfer switch.

Utility Neutral and Subpanel Neutral connect to the Neutral Bar in the transfer switch.
Utility & Generator Power wiring –
RTG-EZ Switches & RTSR/P/I (as a Subpanel switch)
 Normally use the 2-foot conduit to connect from the transfer switch into the main distribution panel
(or junction box if required). (RTG)
 The 2-foot conduit cannot be lengthened and must be replaced if longer length is required. (RTG)
 From the Transfer switch main breaker in the Emergency panel in the transfer switch (2ft whip),
connect the white wire to the to the neutral bar in the main panel box, the green wire to the ground
bar in the main panel box, and the black and red wires to the new 50A or 70A 2-pole breaker in the
main panel box.(RTG)
 For the RTSR/P/C, & RTSI Switches Connect the Neutral (Wht) & Ground (Grn) in the switch to the
Main Panel & Sub-Panel
 From a 50A, 70A, or 100A 2-pole breaker in the main panel box connect power source cables to the
N1, N2 Lugs on the Transfer Mechanism in the Transfer Switch. (RTSR/P/C, RTSI)

Connect the Generator Standby source power cables to the switch terminals E1 and E2. (RTG, &
RTSR/P/C/I)
 Connect the customer Load leads from the Subpanel to the switch terminals T1 and T2.
