Installing the Pass & Seymour 2097TRBKCCD4 Radiant Self-Test GFCI Outlet is a straightforward process. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Before starting the installation, make sure to turn off the power to the circuit at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the existing outlet or receptacle from the electrical box by unscrewing the mounting screws and disconnecting the wires.
3. Take the Pass & Seymour 2097TRBKCCD4 Radiant Self-Test GFCI Outlet and identify the line and load terminals. The line terminals are for connecting the incoming power supply, while the load terminals are for connecting additional outlets or devices.
4. Connect the black (hot) wire from the power supply to the brass-colored line terminal on the GFCI outlet. Use a wire nut to secure the connection.
5. Connect the white (neutral) wire from the power supply to the silver-colored line terminal on the GFCI outlet. Again, use a wire nut to secure the connection.
6. If you have additional outlets or devices to be protected by the GFCI, connect their black (hot) wires to the brass-colored load terminals on the GFCI outlet, and their white (neutral) wires to the silver-colored load terminals. Use wire nuts to secure these connections as well.
7. If there is a ground wire present, connect it to the green grounding xxxx on the GFCI outlet. This is typically a bare copper or green wire.
8. Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box, ensuring that they do not interfere with the outlet or its mounting.
9. Align the GFCI outlet with the electrical box and secure it in place using the provided mounting screws. Make sure the outlet is flush with the wall surface.
10. Double-check all the wire connections to ensure they are secure and properly tightened.
11. Finally, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and test the GFCI outlet by pressing the "Test" button. The outlet should trip, cutting off power, and the LED indicator should turn off. Press the "Reset" button to restore power, and the LED indicator should turn on again.
Please note that these instructions are a general guide, and it is always recommended to consult the user manual provided with the product for specific installation instructions and to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and regulations.
