The transfer switch features an open-transition design, meaning there is a momentary interruption of power during transfer between utility and generator.
4.4. Load Management Configuration
The integrated load management technology allows for control of up to four HVAC circuits to prevent generator overload. For expanded whole-home backup power, Smart Management Modules can be added to shed and prioritize additional loads.

5. Operating Instructions
The Generac RXSC200A3 transfer switch operates automatically in conjunction with your Generac standby generator's controller.
5.1. Automatic Operation
- Utility Power Available: The transfer switch directs utility power to your home's electrical panel.
- Utility Power Outage: When the generator controller detects a loss of utility power, it signals the generator to start. Once the generator reaches proper operating voltage and frequency, the transfer switch automatically moves the electrical load from the utility to the generator.
- Utility Power Restored: When utility power returns and stabilizes, the transfer switch automatically transfers the electrical load back to the utility. The generator will then enter a cool-down period before shutting down.
5.2. Manual Operation (Emergency Override)
In emergency situations or for maintenance, the transfer switch may have a manual override function. Refer to your specific generator and transfer switch owner's manuals for instructions on safe manual operation. Always ensure the generator is off and locked out before attempting any manual transfer.
