Installation Guide

About wire connections:
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 as shown above (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.

About wire connections:
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.
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).
Procedure:
(a) Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET button
fully. The RESET button should stay in. If the RESET button does
not stay in, go to Troubleshooting. If the RESET button stays
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, go to
Troubleshooting.
(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
and the GFCI’s red Indicator Light (if present) come on. Note
that the RESET button will pop-out. If the power stays ON, or the
red Indicator Light stays off, go to Troubleshooting. If the power
goes OFF, and the red Indicator Light comes on, you have
installed the GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore power, press
the RESET button.
(c) If you installed your GFCI using step 7B, 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.
(e) This is a Self-Test GFCI Receptacle with SafeLock Protection™; it conducts
an automatic test every three seconds, ensuring it’s always ready to protect. If
the device fails the test, the indicator light flashes to signal that the GFCI should
be replaced. It also has our proven SafeLock Protection feature: if critical
components are damaged and protection is lost, power to this receptacle,
and any downstream receptacles, will be disconnected.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Turn the power OFF and check the wire connections against the appropriate wiring
diagram in step 7A or 7B. Make sure that there are no loose wires or loose connections.
Also, it is possible that you reversed the LINE and LOAD connections. LINE/LOAD
reversal will be indicated by no power at the GFCI and by the RESET button not staying
in when pressed, or by the red Indicator Light remaining off after you press the GFCI’s
TEST button. Reverse the LINE and LOAD connections if necessary. Start the test from
the beginning of step 8 if you rewired any connections to the GFCI.
