8. Test your work
Why perform this test?
• IfyoumiswiretheAFCIitmaynotmitigatetheeffectsofarcingfaultsdueto
unintentional arcing in a circuit.
• IfyoumistakenlyconnecttheLINEwirestotheLOADterminals,theAFCI
will not reset and will not provide power to either the AFCI receptacle face
or any receptacles fed from the AFCI.
Procedure:
(a) This AFCI is shipped from the factory in the tripped condition and cannot
be reset until it is wired correctly and power is supplied to the device.
Plug a lamp or radio into the AFCI (and leave it plugged in). Turn the
powerONattheservicepanel.EnsurethattheAFCIisstillinthetripped
condition by pressing the TEST button. If the indicator light on the AFCI
receptaclefaceisONandthelamporradioisOFFgototheTroubleshooting
sectionbecauseLINEandLOADwiringconnectionshavebeenreversed.You
will not be able to RESET the AFCI in this condition.
(b) Press the RESET button fully.IfthelamporradioturnsONandthe
IndicatorLightturnsON,theAFCIhasbeeninstalledcorrectly.IftheAFCI
cannot be reset, go to the Troubleshooting section.
(c) If you installed your AFCI using step 7B press the TEST button, then plug
a lamp or radio into surrounding receptacles to see which one(s), in
addition to the AFCI, lost power when you pressed the TEST button. DO
NOTpluglifesavingdevicesintoanyofthereceptaclesthatlostpower.
Placea"AFCIPROTECTEDOUTLET"stickeroneveryreceptaclethat
lost power, then press the RESET button to reset the AFCI.
(d) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to assure proper
operation. If the Indicator light does not go out and come back on or if the AFCI cannot be
reset, then it must be replaced.
