7. Connect the wires (choose A or B) ... only after reading other side completely

8. Test your work

Why perform this test?

• If you miswired the GFCI it may not prevent personal injury or death due to a

ground fault (electrical shock).

• If you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the GFCI can not be

reset and there is no power output to the receptacle.

Procedure:

(a) This GFCI is shipped from the factory in the tripped condition and

can not be reset until it is wired correctly and power is supplied to

the device. Plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI (and leave it plugged

in). Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET button.

Make sure the lamp or radio is ON. If the lamp or radio is still OFF or

the RESET button can not turn the power on, go to Troubleshooting

section because the LINE and LOAD wiring connection have been

reversed.

(b) Press the TEST button in order to trip the device. This should

stop the flow of electricity, making the radio or lamp shut OFF. If the

radio or lamp is on, go to Troubleshooting. If the power goes OFF,

you have installed the GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore power,

press the RESET button.

surrounding receptacles to see which one(s), in addition to the GFCI,

lost power when you pressed the TEST button. DO NOT plug life

saving devices into any receptacles that lost power. Place a

“GFCI PROTECTED” sticker on every receptacle that lost power.

(d) When Line-Load is miswired, the GFCI can not be reset and there

is no power output to the receptacle.

(e) The red LED on the faceplate is the indicator of GFCI end of life function test. If the red

LED begins to light, it means the GFCI has stopped functioning and must be replaced.

(f) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to assure proper operation.

Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:

• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)

• The black wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)

Connect the grounding wire (only if there is a grounding wire):

• For a box with no grounding terminal (diagram not shown): Connect the LINE

cable's bare copper (or GREEN) wire directly to the grounding terminal on the

GFCI receptacle

• For a box with a grounding terminal (diagram shown above): Connect a 6-inch

bare copper (or GREEN) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the grounding terminal on the

GFCI. Also connect a similar wire to the grounding terminal on the box.

Connect the ends of these wires to the LINE cable's bare copper (or green) wire

using a wire connector. If these wires are already in place, check the connections.

Complete the installation:

• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the WHITE

and HOT terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach the faceplate.

• Go to step 8.

Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:

• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)

• The black wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)

Connect the LOAD cable wires to the LOAD terminals:

• Remove the yellow sticker to reveal the LOAD terminals

• The white wire connects to the White terminal (Silver)

• The black wire connects to the Hot terminal (Brass)

Connect the grounding wires (only if there is a grounding wire):

• Connect a 6-inch bare copper (or green) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the grounding

terminal on the GFCI. If the box has a grounding terminal, also connect a

similar wire to the grounding terminal on the box. Connect the ends of these

wires to the LINE and LOAD cable's bare copper (or green) wire using a

wire connector. If these wires are already in place, check the connections.

Complete the installation:

• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the White

and Hot terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach the faceplate.

• Go to step 8.

General Information

GFCI ratings:

120V AC, 60Hz

15A at outlet, 20A at feed-through

TROUBLESHOOTING

Turn the power OFF and check the wire connection against the appropriate

wiring diagram in step 7A or 7B. Make sure that there are no loose wires or

loose connections. Start the test from the beginning of step 8 if you rewired any

connections to the GFCI.
