Mark each receptacle with a self adhesive label provided. CAUTION: • Do not paint this device. It may not work properly and will void the warranty! • If RESET button shows "TRIP", follow full testing procedure on the "Test Reminder and Record Card" before attempting to use. If the GFCI receptacle continues to TRIP, you may have a faulty appliance connected on the protected circuit. Call a qualified electrician. • A GFCI receptacle does not protect against contact with both power lines. It protects only against line-toground shock hazards. • A GFCI receptacle does not prevent electrical shocks. It limits the duration so that it is usually safe for a normally healthy person. • A GFCI receptacle does not protect against overloads. The fuse or circuit breaker at the main panel serves this function. • If the test lamp does not light, the wires connected to the receptacle are the LOAD wires. • If the test lamp does light then the wires connected to the receptacle are the LINE wires. • Switch off the power and mark or tag the LOAD wires for identification when installing the GFCI receptacle. Mark or tag LOAD wires Continue for feed-through wiring protecting a partial or full branch circuit. Step 3 Determine which is the first receptacle in the branch circuit. • With power turned off, remove the receptacle you feel is closest to the distribution panel.

Load Wires Line Wires ON What a Ground Fault Interrupter Cannot Do A GFCI is not an overload protection device nor can it protect you if you touch both conductors or the power line or if you touch a line wire from another branch circuit. Its only function is to protect from line-to-ground (ground fault) shock hazards - the most common cause of electric shocks. White (Neutral) ON How The GFCI Operates The GFCI receptacle monitors the electric current in the conductors supplying power to a load. If a ground fault or shock situation occurs where some of the current passes to ground, an imbalance (as low as 5mA) is created causing the GFCI to trip, stopping the flow of current. This action occurs in a fraction of a second and can prevent life-threatening shocks. Black (Hot) ON 20A Why You Need Ground Fault Protection Any electrical appliance or tool is a potential hazard, especially when old or frequently used. Use of such equipment in wet conditions or near water pipes can be extremely hazardous or even fatal. A GFCI receptacle can offer lifesaving protection in these environments. Most electrical codes require GFCI protection for many locations, such as: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, workshops, basements, garages, exterior outlets and swimming pools. OFF 15A OFF Line Wires • Switch off each individual branch circuit at the distribution panel until the circuit that turns off the test lamp is found. • Disconnect and cap off two wires from the same feed, being sure they are insulated from the possibility of touching each other, the outlet box, or you. • Identify each wire, noting where it was connected, so you can reconnect it as it was, if necessary. • Switch the branch circuit back on at the distribution panel and, using a lamp, test all previously labeled outlets. If the correct receptacle was removed, the lamp will not light when plugged into any of the downstream receptacles. • If the lamp lights in one or more outlets, then the receptacle removed was not the first one in the branch. HOW TO TEST 1. Plug a lamp into the GFCI receptacle 2. Push and release the RESET button. 3. Lamp should light. 4. Press the TEST button. 5. RESET button should pop out indicating TRIP and lamp should go out. (When this GFCI is furnished with an indicator light, the indicator should glow when the device has tripped.) If this happens, proceed to step 8 below. 6. If the GFCI tripped but the lamp did not go out: line and load connections to GFCI are probably reversed. To correct: a) Turn off power at the circuit breaker. b) Interchange the Line and Load connections to the GFCI recepticle, be sure to maintain correct connection of "Hot" and "Neutral" leads. c) Turn on power and repeat steps 1-5. If still not working, GFCI may be faulty. DO NOT USE UNTIL CORRECTED. 7. If GFCI did not trip, do not use: ground fault protection is no longer assured. Call a qualified electrician. 8. To restore power after tripping, press RESET button. Button must remain in. (If indicator light is furnished, it will be off.)

LOAD Instruction Contents 1) This device should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. 2) Install only on a 110-125VAC circuit which has a grounded neutral and is protected by a conventional circuit breaker or fuse. 3) Use only in permanent installations. 4) Do not use to replace a split fed duplex receptacle whose top and bottom halves are controlled by different fuses or circuit breakers. 5) To avoid accidental bypassing of protection, the load circuit wiring should be separated from other wiring by suitable insulating barriers or restraints. 6) This device can protect itself and other receptacles on the same circuit. To protect every outlet in the branch, the GFCI must be installed as the first receptacle directly after the distribution panel. See Installation Diagram for wiring instructions.
