GFCI TESTING AND RESETTING PROCEDURE
The GFCI should be properly tested at least once every month or
whenever it is tripped. To properly test and reset the GFCI:
• If the GFCI has tripped, first carefully remove any load and
check it for damage.
• If the equipment has been shut down, it must be restarted.
• The equipment needs to be operating at high idle speed and
any necessary adjustments made on the control panel so that
the equipment is providing at least 80 volts to the receptacle
input terminals.
• The circuit breaker for this receptacle must not be tripped.
Reset if necessary.
• Push the "Reset" button located on the GFCI. This will assure
normal GFCI operation.
• Plug a night-light (with an "ON/OFF" switch) or other product
(such as a lamp) into the Duplex receptacle and turn the
product "ON".
• Push the "Test" button located on the GFCI. The night-light or
other product should go "OFF".
• Push the "Reset" button, again. The light or other product
should go "ON" again.
If the light or other product remains "ON" when the "Test" button
is pushed, the GFCI is not working properly or has been incorrectly
installed (miswired). If your GFCI is not working properly, contact a
qualified, certified electrician who can assess the situation, rewire
the GFCI if necessary or replace the device.
For GFCI Models that have the appearance as shown in Figure D.2,
please use the following information and troubleshooting guide
listed below. For all other GFCI models, please use the GFCI
testing and resetting procedure listed previously.
FIGURE D.2
• The GFCI automatically monitors ground fault circuit inter-
rupting functionality every (3) hours or less, and it also
automatically tests within (5) seconds of power to the device.
• If the GFCI device can no longer provide GFCI protection it will
deny power and provide a visual indication that it no longer
can provide protection.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES:
• If the line conductor is incorrectly wired to the load terminal,
power to the receptacle will be denied. This includes initial
installation and any subsequent reinstallations.
• Visual indicators: Green LED on represents power at the face
of the receptacle; solid Red LED on indicates a trip condition
and load is off. A flashing red LED indicates that the GFCI is
no longer functioning and needs replaced.
• Reverse Wire Safety Feature: The GFCI will not have power at
both the face and downstream if the line and load are reverse
wired. Additionally, the unit will not be able to reset under a
reversed wiring condition. If the line conductor is incorrectly
wired to the load terminal, power to the receptacle will be
denied. This includes initial installation and any subsequent
reinstallations.
• (GFCI no longer functioning): A rapid flashing red LED will
indicate that the unit can no longer provide ground fault
protection. This indication will occur regardless of the
specific test mode that is being conducted, automatic or
manual.
• If your GFCI is no longer working properly, contact a qualified,
certified electrician who can assess the situation and rewire
the GFCI if necessary or replace the device.
