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).
• If you mistakenly connect the LINE wires to the LOAD terminals, the GFCI will not reset and will not provide
power to either the GFCI receptacle face or any receptacles fed from the GFCI.
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 ON 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) If you installed your GFCI using step 7B, plug a lamp or radio into surrounding receptacles to see which
one(s), in addition to the GFCI, lose power when you press the GFCI TEST button. Place a "GFCI
PROTECTED OUTLET" sticker on every receptacle that lost power, then press the RESET button to
reset the GFCI. DO NOT plug life saving devices into any of the receptacles that lost power.
(d) Press the TEST button (then RESET button) every month to assure proper operation. If the Status
Indicator Light does not turn White 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 white 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 7A or 7B. 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.

Description
GFNL1
15A-125VAC, 60Hz Tamper Resistant GFCI w/Guidelight
GFNL2
20A-125VAC, 60Hz Tamper Resistant GFCI w/Guidelight
All devices rated 20A feed-through
Connect the LINE cable wires to the LINE terminals:
• The white wire connects to the WHITE terminal (Silver)
• The black wire connects to the HOT terminal (Brass or Black)
Connect the grounding wire (only 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
terminal 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 GFCI. Also connect a similar wire to the grounding
terminal on the box. Connect the ends of these 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.
Complete the installation:
• Fold the wires into the box, keeping the grounding wire away from the
WHITE and HOT terminals. Screw the receptacle to the box and attach
the faceplate.
• Go to step 8.
7. Connect the wires (choose A or B)... only after reading other side completely
OR
A: One Cable (2 or 3 wires) entering the box
B: Two cables (4 or 6 wires) entering the box
