• To prevent severe shock or electro-

cution, always turn the power OFF

at the service panel before working

with wiring.

• Use this GFCI receptacle with

copper or copper-clad wire. Do

not use it with aluminum wire.

• Do not install this GFCI receptacle

on a circuit that powers life support

equipment because if the GFCI

trips, it will shut down the

equipment.

• For installation in wet locations,

protect the GFCI receptacle with

a weatherproof cover that will

keep both the receptacle and any

plugs dry.

• Must be installed in accordance

with national and local electrical

codes.

3. Should you install it?

Installing a GFCI receptacle can be

more complicated than installing a

conventional receptacle.

Make sure that you:

• Understand basic wiring principles

and techniques.

• Can interpret wiring diagrams.

• Have circuit wiring experience.

• Are prepared to take a few minutes

to test your work, making sure that

you have wired the GFCI receptacle

correctly.

4. 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 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 should 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.

1. What is a GFCI?

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.

Procedure:

(a) Turn the power ON at the service panel. Press the RESET button fully.

The RESET button should stay in. Plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI

(and leave it plugged in) to verify that the power is ON. If there is no

power, turn the power OFF and check the wire connections (Step 5).

Make sure that there are no loose wires or loose connections and verify

that the PT Series Connector is snapped into the PlugTail™ GFCI.

(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 and the GFCI’s

red Trip Indicator Light come on. Note that the RESET button will

pop-out. If the power goes OFF, you have installed the GFCI

receptacle correctly. To restore power, press the RESET button.

proper operation.

(d) This GFCI will trip and be unable to be reset (no output power) when

it has reached its end-of-life. To confirm that the GFCI has reached its

end-of-life, unplug the appliances connected to the GFCI and press

the Reset Button. If the GFCI continues to trip, then the GFCI has

reached its end-of-life and should be replaced. If the GFCI resets, the

appliance may be defective.
