1. Before starting the installation, make sure to turn off the power at the service panel to prevent electric shock.
2. Ensure that you have basic wiring knowledge and experience, as well as the ability to interpret wiring diagrams.
3. Identify the LINE and LOAD cables. The LINE cable delivers power from the service panel to the GFCI, while the LOAD cable delivers power from the GFCI to other receptacles in the circuit.
4. If you have only one cable (2-3 wires) entering the electrical box, it is the LINE cable. Connect the white wire to the WHITE terminal (Silver) and the black wire to the HOT terminal (Brass or Black). If there is a grounding wire, connect it to the grounding terminal on the GFCI.
5. If you have two cables (4-6 wires) entering the box, connect the white wire from the LINE cable to the WHITE terminal (Silver) and the black wire to the HOT terminal (Brass or Black). Remove the yellow sticker to reveal the LOAD terminals, then connect the white wire from the LOAD cable to the WHITE terminal and the black wire to the HOT terminal. Connect the grounding wires to the grounding terminal on the GFCI and the box.
6. Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the WHITE and HOT terminals. xxxx the receptacle to the box and attach the faceplate.
7. Test your work by plugging in a lamp or radio into the GFCI and turning on the power at the service panel. Press the TEST button on the GFCI to trip it. If the lamp or radio turns off and the GFCI cannot be reset, there may be a wiring issue. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual for further assistance.
8. Press the RESET button on the GFCI to restore power. If the Status Indicator Light turns green and the lamp or radio is on, the GFCI has been installed correctly.
9. It is recommended to periodically test the GFCI by pressing the TEST button and resetting it. This ensures proper operation and protection against ground faults.
Please refer to the complete installation manual for detailed instructions and diagrams.
