4. LINE vs. LOAD
A cable consists of 2 or 3 wires.
Cable Wires
LINE cable:
Delivers power from the service panel (breaker
panel or fuse box) to the GFCI. If there is only
one cable entering the electrical box, it is the
LINE cable. This cable should be connected to
the GFCI's LINE leads only.

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.
NOTE:
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.
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
5. 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 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.
6. Identify cables/wires
Important:
DO NOT install the GFCI receptacle in an
electrical box containing (a) more than four (4)
wires (not including the grounding wires) or
(b) cables with more than two (2) wires (not
including the grounding wire). Contact a
qualified electrician if (a) is true.
If you are replacing an old receptacle, pull it out
of the electrical box without disconnecting the
wires.
•
If you see one cable (2-3 wires), it is the
LINE cable. The receptacle is probably in the
position in the diagram to the right.
Remove the receptacle and go to step 7.

Receptacle
Please read this leaflet
completely before getting started.
CAUTION
!
• To prevent severe shock or
electrocution always turn the power
OFF at the service panel before
working with wiring.
• Use this GFCI 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.

About Wire Connections:
Connect the LINE cable wires to the GFCI LINE leads:
• The white wire connects to the GFCI WHITE lead.
• The black wire connects to the GFCI HOT lead.
Connect the grounding wire (if there is a grounding wire):
• For a box with no grounding terminal (diagram not shown): Connect the LINE cable's bare
copper (or GREEN) wire directly to the grounding lead on the GFCI receptacle.
• For a box with a grounding terminal (diagram shown above): Connect a 6-inch bare copper
(or GREEN) 12 or 14 AWG wire to the grounding terminal on the box. Connect the ends of
the GFCI and box grounding wires to the LINE cable's bare copper (or GREEN) wire using a
wire connector. If these wires are already in place, check the connections.
Connect if no grounding wire:
• For a box with no grounding terminal (diagram not shown): Connect the end of the GFCI
grounding lead to a wire connector.
• For a box with a grounding terminal (diagram shown above): Connect the end of the GFCI
grounding lead to the grounding terminal.
Complete the installation:
• Insert wire straight into wire connector and screw wire connector clockwise making sure
there are no bare conductors below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with
electrical tape.
• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the WHITE and HOT
leads. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach the faceplate.
• Go to step 8.

8. Test your work
Why perform this test?
• If you miswired the GFCI it may not prevent personal injury or death due to a ground fault (electrical shock).
Procedure:
(a) This GFCI is shipped from the factory in the tripped condition and cannot be reset until it is wired
correctly and power is supplied to the device. Plug a lamp or radio into the GFCI (and leave it plugged
in). Turn the power ON at the service panel. Ensure that the GFCI is still in the tripped condition
by pressing the TEST button. If the lamp or radio is OFF, and the GFCI will not reset, go to the
Troubleshooting section as the Line and Load connections are reversed.
(b) Press the RESET button fully and release. If the Status Indicator Light turns Green and the lamp or
radio is ON, the GFCI has been installed correctly. If the Status Indicator Light turns or continuously
blinks Red, or the GFCI cannot be reset, go to the Self-Test Operation section.
(c) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to assure proper operation. If the Status
Indicator Light does not turn Green when the RESET button is depressed and then released, or the
GFCI cannot be reset, it must be replaced.

SELF-TEST OPERATION
• A Self-Test GFCI receptacle has all the features of a conventional GFCI receptacle. In addition, this receptacle tests itself periodically to confirm
the GFCI electronics are functional. The Status Indicator Light will be solid green when the GFCI is powered from Line side and working correctly.
• Self-Test Indications: If the Status Indicator Light is solid or flashing RED a problem may exist. Press the TEST button to trip the GFCI. If unable
to Reset, replace the GFCI. NOTE: The status indicator may flash Red at power "ON" and Reset.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Turn the power OFF and check the wire connections against the appropriate wiring diagram in step 7. Make sure that there are no loose wires
or loose connections. If the Status Indicator Light is not ON and the device is unable to reset this could be a result of no power available. Start
the test from the beginning of step 8 if you rewired any connections to the GFCI.
