Installation of the AIDA Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Electrical Outlet is a straightforward process. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Turn off the power: Before starting the installation, ensure that the power to the electrical circuit is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Remove the old outlet (if applicable): If you are replacing an existing outlet, carefully remove it from the electrical box by unscrewing the mounting screws and disconnecting the wires.
3. Prepare the wires: Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires, exposing about 3/4 inch of bare wire. If needed, consult a professional electrician for assistance with this step.
4. Connect the wires: Connect the black (hot) wire to the brass-colored xxxx terminal on the new receptacle. Connect the white (neutral) wire to the silver-colored xxxx terminal. If there is a bare or green wire (ground wire), connect it to the green xxxx terminal or grounding wire as per local electrical codes.
5. Secure the receptacle: Carefully tuck the connected wires into the electrical box, ensuring that they are not pinched or damaged. Align the receptacle with the mounting holes in the electrical box and secure it in place using the provided mounting screws.
6. Test the installation: Once the receptacle is securely mounted, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Use a voltage tester to verify that the power is flowing to the receptacle. If the tester indicates power, you have successfully installed the AIDA Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Electrical Outlet.
Please note that these instructions are a general guide, and it is essential to consult the provided installation instructions/user manual specific to your AIDA Tamper-Resistant Receptacle Electrical Outlet for any model-specific details or variations.
