It still isn't clear that once the main ;power is restore, it will automatically switch back to main power--independent of the generator status.?

Why would it matter??? You wouldn't want to run "both" power sources. I suppose you could have gen running under full load (microwave heating bowl of water or something) you stay with gen and have someone else plug in shore power. Wait up to 30 seconds to see if the sound of the gen changes (un-loads)

If wired correctly it should drop out and go to the main line any time the gen shuts off or is disconnected. It should come on when the generator line is hot and swithsc to the gen from the main after a time delay.

my switch burned out with several wires melted.. grateful that there wasn't a fire. When my mechanic installed this new part my electric came back on immediately. I've yet to activate my generator. This part was the right fit for my Montana 2002 fifth wheel.

Maybe. It retains the programming for a period of time after you remove power. I never found out how long though.

There is no need to turn off the main breaker. The Reliance 31406CRK does this automatically when you switch from normal power to generator power.

I think the default setting is reverted to, as indicated in the owners manual. Haven't been around during a failure and re-power to tell for sure.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

It will not operate without electricity. It will restart at preset settings when power is restored.

I believe that it is positively triggered so once power is taken away from AV1 and you give power to AV2 it automatically switches

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

Yes - the Netgear adaptor acts like an Ethernet port, so when the power returns, the system will return to normal function.

Corey, I hard wired mine. I remember reading somewhere they Do Not have a memory. So it will default back to original pattern when power is lost or disconnected. I just leave mine on original setting back and forth pattern.

Not quite - it can be configured to monitor many types of UPS, either via SNMP or a USB connection, and it will do a graceful shutdown, but at this time it will not power back up when power is restored. The power on functionality may be added later, but there is no guarantee.It can be remotely powered on using Wake-on-LAN and I have been able to use this in a workaround to get my RN102 repowered automatically

Not sure about the shutdown, but it will come back on when power is restored (assuming loss of power).

I have it wired to run from the inverter until the generator starts. It then switches to generator until gen is turned off then switches back to inverter.

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

It doesn't have an automatic power on/off for sure. The normal power switch that's in that back doesn't really need to be switched off when not in use, no but if you do turn it off it won't be a problem.

Whenever the unit gains power back it defaults to a power on state, which if memory serves right just turns on the last built in macro of the unit that you were using the last time it got powered off. Hope this helps.
