To install the Pass & Seymour 1597WCCD12 Self-Test GFCI Outlet, please follow these steps:
1. Ensure power to the circuit is turned off by switching off the corresponding circuit breaker in your electrical panel.
2. Review the installation instructions provided with the outlet. Familiarize yourself with the wiring diagram and any specific requirements for your installation.
3. Connect the wiring to the designated terminals on the outlet. Typically, the black (hot) wire connects to the brass-colored terminal, the white (neutral) wire connects to the silver-colored terminal, and the green or bare copper (ground) wire connects to the green-colored terminal.
4. Once the wiring is securely connected, carefully tuck the wires into the electrical box.
5. Securely mount the outlet into the electrical box using the provided mounting screws. Ensure the outlet is level and flush with the wall surface.
6. Turn the power back on by switching on the circuit breaker in your electrical panel.
7. Perform a manual test using the "Test" button on the GFCI outlet. Press the "Test" button, and the outlet should trip, cutting off power. This indicates that the GFCI is functioning correctly.
8. If the outlet trips, press the "Reset" button to restore power. The "Reset" button should pop out after the test, and pressing it should restore power to the outlet.
It's important to note that if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician for assistance. Safety should always be the top priority when working with electrical installations.
