All my life red is positive and black negative. I was under expression the 194 was 12v + and 23 was the ground to complete circuit. This switch is tagged 194 wire black and 23 red, Just like an apinion

The transfer switch seems normal and that’s the 12vdc to active the transfer switch. That’s confusing on the other end but are they not a wiring diagram somewhere on the equipment. A picture would be helpful of a wiring diagram.
