Double american 2P+E 15A 125V~ 60Hz socket outlet with GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter)
DESCRIPTION
A GFCI receptacle is different from
conventional receptacles. ln the
event of a ground fault, a GFCI will
trip and quickly stop the ow of
electricity to prevent serious injury.
De nition 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 oor.
CAUTION!
To prevent severe shock or electrocution always turn the power OFF at the service panel
before working with wiring.
Use this GFCI receptacle with copper or copper-clad wire. Do not use it with
Ÿ
aluminum wire.
Do not install this GFCI receptacle on a circuit that powers life support equipment be
Ÿ
cause if the GFCI trips it will shut down the equipment.
For installation in wet locations, protect the GFCI receptacle with a weatherproof
Ÿ
cover that will keep both the receptacle and any plugs dry.
Must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

TEST YOUR WORK
• Perform this test if you miswire the GFCI it may not prevent personal injury or death
due to a ground fault (electrical shock).
• Perform this test if you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the
GFCI will not reset and will not provide power to either the GFCI receptacle face or any
receptacles fed from the GFCI.
Procedure:
(a) This GFCI is shipped from the factory in the tripped
condition and cannot be reset until the Line and Load are
wired correctly and power is supplied to the device. Turn
the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET button
fully. lf the indicator (LED) glows green, you have installed
the GFCI receptacle correctly. Plug a lamp or radio into the
GFCI (and leave it plugged in). Ensure that the GFCI can be
tripped by pressing the TEST button. lf the GFCI receptacle
cannot be reset, the indicator (LED) does not glow, and
there is no power in the lamp or radio, go to the
Troubleshooting because LINE and LOAD wiring
connections have been reversed.
(b) Press the test button in order to trip the device. This
should stop the ow of electricity, making the radio or lamp
shut off. Note that the reset button will pop out. lf the
power goes off, the green indicator (LED ) goes out, you
have installed the GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore
power, press the reset button.
(c) lf you installed your GFCI using step B, plug a lamp or
radio into 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) Press the test button (then reset button) every month to
assure proper operation. In case the life-end indicator (Red
LED) is off the GFCI will still provide ground fault
protection.
(e) The GFCI includes an end-of-life monitoring function.
When a GFCI receptacle is incapable of passing its internal
test function (it can no longer provide ground fault
protection), one of the following alarm indications will be
present:
i. When the GFCI reaches the end of its' life the red
indicator will turn on. The GFCI must be replaced.
ii. lf there is no power output the GFCI has reached the end
of its' life. The GFCI must be replaced.

PLACEMENT IN CIRCUIT:
The GFCI's place in the circuit determines if it protects other receptacles in the circuit.
Placing the GFCI in position A will also provide protection to "load side" receptacles B
and C. On the other hand, placing the GFCI in position C will not provide protection to
receptacles A or B. Rememberthat receptacles A, B and C can be in different rooms.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Turn the power off and check the wire connections against the appropriate wiring
diagram in Connection A or B. Make sure that there are no loose wires or loose
connections. Also, it is possible that you reversed the LINE and LOAD connections if the
GFCI can not be reset and there is no power at the receptacle. Start the test from "Test
tour work" if you rewired any connections to the GFCI. The GFCI includes an end of life
monitoring function. When a GFCI receptacle is incapable of passing its internal test
function (it can no longer provide ground fault protection) one of the following alarm
indications will be present: the red indicator will turn on or there is no power output the
GFCI. In both cases, the GFCI must be replaced.
