Installing and Testing
a GFCI Receptacle
Please read this leaflet completely
before getting started
1. What is GFCI?
A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional receptacles.
In the event of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and quickly stop
the flow of electricity to prevent serious injury.
Definition 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 wood
floor.
2. The GFCI's features-
FRONT VIEW
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, the GFCI receptacle is
installed correctly. To restore power, press the
RESET button.
8. Check your work
Why perform this test?
• If the GFCI is miswired, it may not prevent personal injury or
death due to a ground fault (electrical shock).
• If the LINE wires are mistakenly connected to the LOAD
terminals, the GFCI will not provide power.
9. Supplemental specification of
tamper resistance
Tamper resistance is installed in the upper cover of
receptacle, which consists of two sets of sliding blocks, each
set consists of a cover plate, two sliding blocks and two
springs. When in use, only the plugs into the two- and
three-hole receptacles, the tamper resistance will open, and
the slider will open; as a result, the pins of the 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 metal
materials into the apertures of the receptacle.
(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) The red LED on the faceplate is the indicator of GFCI end
of life function test, if the red LED begins to light, which mean
GFCI stopped functioning and must be replaced.
(f) 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.

• 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: (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: (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.

6. Identify cables/wires-
Important:
Do not install the GFCI receptacle in an electrical box
containing (a) more than 4 wires (not including the grounding
wires) or (b) cables with more than two wires (not including the
grounding wire).
Contact a qualified electrician if either (a) or (b) is true.
If you are replacing an old receptacle, pull it out of the
electrical box without disconnecting the wires.
• If you see one cable (2-3 wires), it is the LINE cable. The
receptacle is probably in position C (see diagram to the right).
Remove the receptacle and go to step 7A.
• If you see two cables (4-6 wires), the receptacle is probably
in position A or B (see diagram to the right). Follow steps a-e
of the procedure to the right.
Procedure: box with two cables (4-6 wires)
(a) Detach one cable's white and hot wires from the
receptacle and cap each one separately with a wire
connector. Make sure that they are from the same cable.
(b) Re-install the receptacle in the electrical box, attach the
faceplate, then turn the power ON at the service panel.
(c) Determine if power is flowing to the receptacle. If so, the
capped wires are the LOAD wires. If not, the capped wires
are the LINE wires.
(d) Turn the power OFF at the service panel, label the LINE
and LOAD wires, then remove the receptacle.
(e) Go to step 7B.
Placement in circuit
The GFCI's place in the circuit determines if it protects
other receptacles in the circuit.
Sample circuit:
Placing the GFCI in position A will also provide protection
to "load side" receptacles B and C. Placing the GFCI in
position C will not provide protection to receptacles A or B.
Note: receptacles A, B, and C can be in different rooms.
5.Turn the power OFF
Plug an electrical device, such as a lamp or radio, into the
receptacle on which you are working. Turn the lamp or radio
on. Then, go to the service panel. Find the breaker or fuse that
protects that receptacle. Place the breaker in the OFF position
or completely remove the fuse. The lamp or radio should turn
OFF.
Next, plug in and turn ON the lamp or radio at the receptacle’s
other outlet to make sure the power is OFF at both outlets. If
the power is not OFF, stop work and call an electrician to
complete the installation.
4. LINE vs. LOAD
A cable consists of 2 or 3 wires
LINE cable:
Delivers power from the service panel (breaker panel or fuse
box) to the GFCI. If there is only one cable entering the
electrical box, it is the LINE cable. This cable should be
connected to the GFCI LINE terminals only.
LOAD cable:
Delivers power from the GFCI to another receptacle in the
circuit. This cable should be connected to the GFCI LOAD
terminals only.

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 connections. It is possible that LINE and
LOAD connections were reversed. LINE/LOAD reversal will be
indicated by power remaining ON at the GFCI 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.
