1. What is a GFCI?

!
CAUTION
A GFCI receptacle is different from conventional
receptacles. In the event of a ground fault,
a GFCI will trip and quickly stop the flow of
electricity to prevent serious injury.
Definition of a ground fault:
Instead of following its normal safe path,
electricity passes through a person's body to
reach the ground. For example, a defective
appliance can cause a ground fault.
A GFCI receptacle does NOT protect against
circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks. For
example, you can still be shocked if you touch
bare wires while standing on a non-conducting
surface, such as a wood floor.
GFCI's contain a lockout feature that will prevent
RESET if:
• There is no power being supplied to the GFCI.
• The GFCI is miswired due to reversal of the
LINE and LOAD leads.
• The GFCI cannot pass its internal test,
indicating that it may not be able to provide
protection in the event of a ground fault.

6. Turn the power OFF

Plug an electrical device, such as a lamp or
radio, into the receptacle on which you are
working. Turn the lamp or radio ON. Then, go to
Cable
Wires
the service panel. Find the breaker or fuse that
protects that receptacle. Place the breaker in
the OFF position or completely remove the fuse.
The lamp or radio must turn OFF.
Next, plug in and turn ON the lamp or radio at
the receptacle's other outlet to make sure the
power is OFF at both outlets. If the power is
not OFF, stop work and call an electrician to
complete the installation.

7. Placement in circuit

The GFCI's place in the circuit determines if it
protects other receptacles in the circuit.
Placing the GFCI in position A will also provide
protection to "load side" receptacles B and C.
On the other hand, placing the GFCI in position
C will not provide protection to receptacles A or
B. Remember that receptacles A, B, and C can
be in different rooms.
3. Compatible DIN Rail Configurations
The device mounts using two DIN clips attached to its back. It will properly mount
using any of the following DIN rail configurations:
