! CAUTION
1. What is a GFCI?
A GFCI receptacle is different from
conventional receptacles. In the event of
a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and
quickly stop the flow of electricity to
prevent serious injury.
Definition of a ground fault:
Instead of following its normal safe path,
electricity passes through a person's
body to reach the ground. For example, a
defective appliance can cause a ground
fault.
A GFCI receptacle does not protect
against circuit overloads, short circuits,
or shocks. For example, you can still be
shocked if you touch bare wires while
standing on a non-conducting surface,
such as a wood floor.
6A. Test your work
Procedure:
A. Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET button fully. The RESET
button should stay in. Plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI (and leave it plugged-in) to
verify that the power is ON. If there is no power, turn the power OFF and check the
wire connections (Step 5). Make sure that there are no loose wires or loose
connections and verify that the Snap series Connector is snapped into the
SNAPConnect® GFCI.
B. Press the TEST button to trip the device. This should stop the flow of electricity,
making the radio or lamp shut OFF. Note that the RESET button will pop-out. If the
power goes OFF, you have installed the GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore power,
press the RESET button.
C. Manual Test: Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to assure
proper operation. Automatic Self-Test: The Hubbell AUTOGUARD® GFCI
automatically performs a self-test of the electronics every minute. The Manual Test
should be performed every month to assure proper mechanical operation. In the
event of a failure during either the Manual Test or the Automatic Self-Test, the LED
will FLASH RED indicating that the receptacle has lost GFCI protection and has
reached its end of life. If this occurs, the GFCI should be replaced immediately.
RESET BUTTON MUST BE FULLY DEPRESSED FOR FULL ENGAGEMENT.

4. Turn the power OFF
install it?
Plug an electrical device, such as a lamp or
radio, into the receptacle on which you are
working. Turn the lamp or radio on. Then,
go to the service panel. Find the breaker or
fuse that protects that receptacle. Place the
breaker in the OFF position or completely
remove the fuse. The lamp or radio should
