Receptacle
Important Note
Connect only No. 10, 12 or 14 AWG (6, 2.5 or 1.5 mm
2
) copper or
copper-clad wire to this device. Do not connect aluminum wire
to this device. See device for strip length.
Installation
1. Turn power OFF. Remove old receptacle and disconnect all wires.
2. Refer to Wiring Diagrams.
3. Connect live (black wires) to brass screw terminal(s), and
tighten securely.
4. Connect neutral (white wires) to silver screw terminal(s), and
tighten securely.
5. Connect ground (green or bare copper wire) to green grounding
screw terminal, and tighten securely.
6. Refer to Mounting Instructions.
WARNING: Mounting means not grounded. Receptacle does
not self ground when mounting it to a wallbox. A ground
wire connection is required for receptacle grounding.
Failure to connect a ground wire to the green grounding
screw terminal will result in an ungrounded receptacle.
Failure to properly ground receptical could result in death or
serious injury.
GFCI Receptacle
Important Notes
1. For installation by a qualifi ed electrician only.
2. GFCI Receptacles will provide protection against line to ground
faults only. Although the ground fault receptacle does not limit
the magnitude of fault current, and therefore cannot prevent
electrical shock, it does limit the duration of the shock to a period
considered safe for normally healthy people. They will not protect
against overloads or short circuits. This is the function of the fuse
or circuit breaker.
3. GFCI Receptacle is rated at 20A in feed-through applications.
4. Connect only No. 12 or 14 AWG (2.5 or 1.5 mm
2
) copper or
copper-clad wire to this device. Do not connect aluminum wire
to this device. See device for strip length.
5. Hospital Applications: GFCI-TYPE RECEPTACLES SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN CRITICAL CARE PATIENT AREAS OR FOR LIFE SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT APPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
POWER INTERRUPTION.
Installation
1. Locate Circuit To Be Protected: Using a test lamp, locate the
circuit breaker (or fuse) that controls the circuit to be protected.
Identify this circuit on the panel box with a number and mark
this number on the panel box label supplied with Ground Fault
Receptacle.
With the power OFF on this circuit and power ON for all other
circuits, plug a test lamp into all receptacles. Receptacles where
the test lamp is out are on the same circuit as the receptacle to
be protected. Mark these receptacles.
Check both outlets on each receptacle with a test lamp to
ensure that receptacle is not part of a multi-wire or split-circuit.
Check to determine if the receptacle is controlled by a switch.
If the receptacle is part of a split circuit or only one side of the
receptacle is switch controlled, the Ground Fault Receptacle
cannot be used as a replacement at this location.
2. Turn Power OFF. Remove old receptacle and disconnect all wires.
3. Refer to Wiring Diagrams.
4. Connect live (black wires) to brass screw terminal(s), and
tighten securely.
5. Connect neutral (white wires) to silver screw terminal(s), and
tighten securely.
6. Connect ground (green or bare copper wire) to green grounding
screw terminal, and tighten securely.
7. Observe labeling when wiring to “LINE” and “LOAD” terminals.
Refer to wiring diagrams for proper wiring.
8. Refer to Mounting Instructions.
Testing GFCI Receptacle
1. Turn power ON to Ground Fault Receptacle. The “RESET” button
should be pushed in almost fl ush with face of device. Check
power by plugging a lamp into receptacle and all downstream
(protected) receptacles. The lamp should light.
2. Push “TEST” button. The “RESET” button should pop out and
lamp should be out at the Ground Fault and all downstream
(protected) receptacles.
3. If “RESET” button does not pop out and lamp remains lit, DO NOT
USE. With Power OFF, recheck all wiring steps and connections.
If all connections are correct, repeat 1 and 2 with power ON. If
“RESET” button still does not pop out and lamp remains lit, DO
NOT USE, return device for replacement.
4. If Ground Fault Receptacle will not stay on after being reset (with
no appliance on circuit), then:
1) The load side of the neutral of the receptacle may be
grounded;
2) A ground fault exists on load side;
3) The line and load neutral wires on receptacle are reversed.
