GFCI Breaker Test
Perform this test on the GFCI circuit breaker each
month and record the date�
A
B
Push To
Test
1� With handle A in the “ON” position, press PUSH TO
TEST button B�
2� Handle A should move to the TRIP position,
indicating that the GFCI breaker has opened the
circuit�
3� Move handle A to the “OFF” position and back to
the “ON “position to restore power�
If the device remains on when the Test button is
pushed, the GFCI is not working properly or has
been incorrectly installed (wired improperly)� If your
GFCI is not working properly, call a qualified, certified
electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the
GFCI if necessary, or replace the unit�
NOTE
Most fuses will require a qualified technician
to access and replace. Contact your dealer or
Airstream Service Center.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
All outlets/receptacles on your Touring Coach are
GFCI protected� The GFCI breaker provides reliable
overload and short-circuit protection� GFCI breakers
protect against ground faults and provide additional
safety to the occupants of the touring coach on all
outlets/receptacles� A ground fault occurs when current
travels along an unintended path to ground, possibly
through water or a person, which may result in an
electric shock� The GFCI compares the amount of
current going to and returning from the device plugged
into the circuit’s outlet/receptacle� When the amount
of current going to the device differs from the amount
returning, the GFCI interrupts the current within a
fraction of a second, removing power from the circuit,
and protecting the user�
Each GFCI circuit breaker is calibrated to trip with a
ground current of 5 mA or more� Since most people
can feel as little as 2 mA, a shock may be felt� The
shock should be of such a short duration that the
effects would be reduced, less than what would
normally be a dangerous level� However, persons with
acute heart problems or other conditions that can make
a person particularly susceptible to electric shock may
still be seriously injured�
While the GFCI circuit breaker affords a high degree
of protection, there is no substitute for knowing that
electricity can be dangerous when carelessly handled
or used without reasonable caution�
The system incorporates GFCI breakers that
implement an auto-self-test functionality� When turned
off, these breakers require external AC power to be
present before they can be turned back on� If power is
present, and the breaker refuses to stay on, consult an
electrician or certified RV technician.
WARNING
The GFCI circuit breaker will NOT reduce shock
hazard if contact is made between a HOT load wire
and a neutral wire or two HOT load wires. GFCI
circuit breakers provide protection only to the
circuit to which it is connected. It does NOT protect
any other circuit.
