Install the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker using the following
procedure:
1. Latch the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker by moving its
handle firmly to the
2. Wire the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker to load center (see
connection diagram).
A. Connect the coiled white "pigtail" wire from the Arc-
Fault Circuit Breaker to the panel or enclosure
neutral bus terminal and secure it tightly. Uncoil
pigtail as necessary.

Test Procedures (Circuit breaker should be tested regularly, at least once per month.)
The Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker senses arcs in two different ways. The test feature allows the homeowner to test each of
these modes by depressing a rocker switch in two directions. The breaker has passed the test if the
the window.
1. Arc Test: Rotate the test switch in the "Arc Test" direction to check the ability of the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker to
detect arcing from phase to neutral (above normal levels needed to run appliances).
2. Short Test: Rotate the test switch in the "Short Test" direction to check the ability of the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker to
detect low level arcs from phase to ground.
