THIS TRANSFER SWITCH MUST BE INSTALLED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN WITH A THOROUGH
KNOWLEDGE OF ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL AND BUILDING CODES.

For questions regarding installation or the transfer switch, contact Reliance Controls Customer Service Team
Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm CT at 1-800-634-6155.

With the help of a qualified electrician, you can wire up to four circuits from
your breaker into the transfer switch. The most common circuits selected
are for refrigerators, bedroom outlets, lights in hallways/gathering
places, etc. Keep in mind the technical specifications of your Goal Zero
Yeti Portable Power Station – watt-hour capacity affects runtime, inverter
specs affect appliance compatibility.

Check the User Manual included with your Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power
Station for help on WHAT IT POWERS or call Goal Zero’s Solutions Center

at 888-794-6250.

Once you have installed the transfer switch with the help of a qualified
electrician, simply plug in your Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power Station using
the included extension cable.

GOAL ZERO YETI HOME INTEGRATION KIT (HIK) FAQ

Q: What do I get when I purchase the HIK?

Q: What Yeti Portable Power Station do you recommend to use with the HIK?

Q: How long will the HIK system run my lights?

A: You’ll receive the Reliance Manual Transfer Switch panel, as well as the Yeti Extension cable (10’). You will

also need to purchase a Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power Station to complete the home backup setup.

A: We suggest using a Yeti 1000 or above; however, the Yeti 3000 Lithium provides a great blend of power

output and runtime. The HIK also works with the original lead-acid Yeti 1250 Portable Power Station.

A: Just like estimating runtimes from the Yetis themselves, runtimes with the HIK system are dependent on

what you’re powering (lights vs. fridge) and what Yeti Portable Power Station you’re using. For example, a
100W light would run for approximately 14 hours from a Yeti 1400 Lithium (1400Wh/100W=14h).

HOW IT WORKS DURING A POWER OUTAGE

Once the Transfer Switch has been installed and the Goal Zero Yeti is
plugged in using the provided extension cable, powering the circuits in
your home is as easy as flipping a switch. Best of all, there are no fumes,
noise, or messy gasoline to hassle with.

When power is restored, simply move the switches on the Transfer Switch
from GEN to LINE and turn off the Yeti AC port by pressing and holding the
AC button for approximately three seconds. There is no need to unplug the
Yeti from the Transfer Switch when not in use.

1.

Press the AC button on the Yeti to turn it on. Know it’s on when the light

on the button glows green.

2.

On the Transfer Switch, select the circuits to be powered by the Yeti by

moving individual switches from the LINE to GEN position.

3. Your selected circuits are now live.
