GFCI Receptacles
GFCI receptacles protect the user from
electric shock if a ground fault occurs in
equipment connected to the receptacle. A
ground fault occurs when electrical current
takes the shortest path to ground (which
could be through a person) rather than fol-
low its intended safe path.
If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI Reset
button pops out, and the circuit opens to
disconnect power to the faulty equipment.
A GFCI receptacle does not protect against
circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks
not related to ground faults. Reset and test
GFCI receptacle according to the following
procedures.
Resetting/Testing GFCI Receptacle
!
Test GFCI monthly. See Testing
GFCI Receptacle.
!
Do not test or reset GFCI recept-
acles at idle speed/
low voltage
or
the GFCI will be damaged and not
provide protection from electric
shock caused by a ground fault.
!
If LED blinks, stop using GFCI re-
ceptacle and have it replaced by a
Factory Authorized Service Agent.
