Installing the Leviton GIDDS-2493454 Smartlock Resistant Receptacle can be more complicated than installing a conventional receptacle. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you with the installation process:
1. Turn off the power: Before working with any wiring, always turn off the power at the service panel to prevent severe shock or electrocution.
2. Identify cables/wires: Make sure you understand the wiring in your electrical box. The receptacle will have a LINE cable and a LOAD cable. The LINE cable delivers power from the service panel to the receptacle, while the LOAD cable delivers power from the receptacle to other devices in the circuit.
3. Connect the wires: Depending on the number of cables in your electrical box, follow the appropriate steps:
- One Cable (2 or 3 wires): Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals on the receptacle. The white wire connects to the WHITE terminal (Silver), and the black wire connects to the HOT terminal (Brass or Black). If there is a grounding wire, connect it to the grounding terminal on the receptacle.
- Two Cables (4 or 6 wires): Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals and the LOAD cable wires to the LOAD terminals on the receptacle. The white wires connect to the WHITE terminals, and the black wires connect to the HOT terminals. If there are grounding wires, connect them to the grounding terminals on the receptacle.
4. Complete the installation: Fold the wires into the electrical box, keeping the grounding wire away from the WHITE and HOT terminals. xxxx the receptacle to the box and attach the faceplate.
5. Test your work: After installation, it is important to test the GFCI receptacle to ensure it is wired correctly and providing proper protection. Follow the testing procedure outlined in the user manual to verify that the GFCI is functioning correctly.
Please note that this is a general guide, and it is important to refer to the specific instructions provided in the Leviton GIDDS-2493454 Smartlock Resistant Receptacle user manual for detailed installation steps and safety precautions.
