Why Perform This Test?
• If you miswired a GFCI, it CANNOT be reset, the green indicator
LED will be ON, by which it may prevent personal injury or death
due to a ground fault (electrical shock)
Procedure
a) After finishing the connection of wires and supply the power,
press the RESET button fully and plug in a lamp or radio into the
GFCI to verify that the GFCI is wired correctly (and leave it
plugged-in) to verify that the power is ON. If the GFCI had been
wired properly, it can be reset and supply the power to the outlet
and the load terminals of the device.
b) Press the TEST button in order to trip the device. This should stop
the flow of electricity, making the radio or lamp shut OFF. Note
that the RESET button will pop out. If the power stays ON, go to
Troubleshooting. If the power goes OFF, you have installed the
GFCI receptacle correctly. To restore power, press the RESET
button; the GREEN indicator LED will be on.
c) If you installed your GFCI using step "Connecting the Wires B: Two
cables (4 or 6 wires) entering the box", plug a lamp or radio into
surrounding receptacles to see which one(s), in addition to the
GFCI, lost power when you pressed the TEST button. DO NOT plug
life saving devices into any receptacles that lost power. Place a
"GFCI Protected" sticker on every receptacle that lost power.
1) A GFCI ends its life when it fails to supply power, although the Line and Load are wired correctly.
If it happened, press TEST button manually, force to trip and cut off the power and replace it by a new one
2) A GFCI has reached its end of life when it cannot be reset, although the Line and Load are wired correctly. Please replace it by an new one
TROUBLESHOOTING
Turn the power OFF and check the wire connections against the
appropriate wiring diagram in step "Connecting the wires (choose A
or B)". Make sure that there are no loose wires or loose connections.

• If you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the
GFCI will NOT provide power to neither the outlet of the GFCI nor
the load terminals fed through the GFCI
d) The GFCI includes an end-of-life monitoring function.
d)
Once the GFCI has been correctly wired and powered, the red LED
d)
will flash one time within 5 sec, and the internal self-testing circuit
d)
will launch every 1-10 min. When the GFCI displays an alarm during
d)
its operation, the red light will turn ON immediately, and it will no
d)
longer provide a ground fault circuit protection, reminding the user
d)
that the GFCI is end of life and MUST be replaced.
e) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) monthly to ensure a
e)
proper operation. If the GREEN LED goes OFF when tripped, it
e)
means that the GFCI can still offer a ground fault circuit protection,
e)
the testing circuit is connected to the end-of-life monitoring circuit in
e)
a GFCI. Press the TEST button and cut off the power within the
e)
predetermined time, then press the RESET button to connect with
e)
the testing circuit. If the GFCI can provide ground fault circuit
e)
protection, it can be reset and supply the power to the outlets and
e)
the load terminals. If it fails to be reset, it reminds the user that GFCI
e)
has reached its end of life and should be replaced by a new one.
Also, it is possible that you reversed the LINE and LOAD connections if
the GFCI cannot be reset and there is no power at the receptacle. Start
the test from the beginning of step "Test your work" if you rewired any
connections to the GFCI.
