Installation Instructions

7. Connect the wires (choose A or B)...only after reading other side completely
A: One cable (2 or 3 wires) entering the box
Grounding connection
to box (if has a
grounding terminal)
LINE cable brings
power to the GFCI
Wire

About Wire Connections:
Side Wire:
Back Wire:
For Side Wire -
Loop clockwise 2/3 of
the way around screw
For Back Wire -
Insert bare wire fully and
tighten terminal clamp on
conductor ONLY
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) 12or 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.
B: Two cables (4 or 6 wires) entering the box
Grounding connection
to box (if box has a
grounding terminal)
LINE cable brings
power to the GFCI
Wire

other receptacle(s)
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:
. 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.

8. Test your work
Why perform this test?
. If you miswire the GFCI, it may not prevent personal injury or death due to a ground fault
(electrical shock).
. If you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the GFCI will not operate
like an ordinary receptacle, and it will not interrupt a ground fault.
Procedure:
(a) This GFCI is shipped from the factory in the tripped condition and can not
be reset until it is wired correctly and power is supplied to the device. Plug
a lamp or radio into the GFCI (and leave it plugged-in). Turn the power ON
at the service panel. Press the RESET button. Make sure the lamp or radio
is ON. If the lamp or radio is still OFF or the RESET button can not get
engaged, go to Troubleshooting section because LINE and LOAD wiring
connection have been reversed.
(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. If the radio or lamp is
on, go to Troubleshooting. If the power goes OFF, 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 surrou-
nding 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) Self-test Operation
A Self-Test GFCI receptacle has all the features of a conventional GFCI receptacle.
In addition, this receptacle tests itself periodically to confirm the GFCI electronics
are functional.
.lf the Red LED is flashing, the GFCI may have problem, and it cannot interrupt
a ground fault, and it must be replaced immediately.
9. The supplemental specification of tamper resistance
Tamper resistance is installed in the upper cover of receptacle, which consists of two
sets of sliding block, each set of sliding block consists of a cover plate, two sliding block
and two springs.
When in application, only the plugs into the two-hole and three-hole receptacle, the tamper
resistance will open, that means the slider will open, as a results, the pins of plug will be
able to go into the receptacle of tamper resistance without any obstacle.
The receptacle with tamper resistance is designed for life safety, which effectively prevents
children from plugging the metal-made material into the apertures of receptacle.
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. Start the
test from the beginning of step 8 if you rewired any connections to the GFCI.
