Consult the AFCI manufacturer’s installation instructions to determine that the AFCI is
installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
Check for correct wiring of receptacle and all remotely connected receptacles on the
branch circuit.
Operate the test button on the AFCI installed in the circuit. The AFCI must trip. If it does
not - do not use the circuit - consult an electrician. If the AFCI does trip, reset the AFCI.
Then, insert the AFCI tester into the receptacle to be tested.
Activate the test button on the AFCI tester for a minimum of 6 seconds when testing the
AFCI condition. A visible indication on the AFCI tester must cease when tripped.
If the tester fails to trip the AFCI, it suggests a) a wiring problem with a totally operable
AFCI or b) proper wiring with a faulty AFCI. Consult an electrician to check the condition of
the wiring and AFCI.
