GROUND-FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
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.
GFCI TEST
Use an approved GFCI tester or plug an electrical device, such as a lamp into the receptacle on which you are working.
Turn the lamp or device ON. Then, press the TEST button on the GFCI box and power should immediately be switched
off. If not, contact an electrician. Press the RESET button to restore power.
MAINTENANCE
There are no serviceable parts inside the fixture. However, it is good practice to routinely clean and check the
