GFCI Test
XW
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any exposed
metalwork during the test.
This test will switch off the power to the circuit.
To test a GFCI receptacle, do the following:
1.
Insert the Tester probes into the GFCI receptacle under test.
2.
Connect probes to the phase (hot) and ground (PE-protective
earth) of the GFCI receptacle.
3.
Press
G
for 1 second. The DC+ and DC- LEDs will
alternately switch on and off and, if activated, the beeper will
sound indicating that a test is in progress. The test may last
up to 7 seconds.
4.
Keep the probes connected while the LEDs are switching on
and off. If the GFCI trips, power to the circuit will be
interrupted and the Tester will stop indicating voltage. If the
GFCI does not trip after approximately 7 seconds, the GFCI
test stops, indicated by no switching of the DC+ and DC-
LEDs but the tester will continue to indicate the presence of
voltage.
When testing and verifying GFCI circuits or components, do the
following:
•
Consult the GFCI manufacturer’s installation instructions to
determine that the GFCI is installed in accordance with its
specifications.
•
Check for correct wiring of receptacles and all remotely-
connected receptacles on branch circuits.
•
Operate the pushbutton on the GFCI receptacle installed in
the circuit. The GFCI must trip. If it does not, the GFCI
receptacle is not operating properly. DO NOT use the circuit.
Consult an electrician or properly certified personnel.
If the GFCI does trip, retest the receptacle as explained
above.
If the Tester fails to trip the GFCI, consider either of the following:
•
The GFCI is fully functional but a wiring problem exists within
the installation or receptacle.
•
The GFCI is faulty and the installation wiring is correct.
Consult an electrician to check the wiring and GFCI.
Note
•
After a GFCI test, further GFCI tests will be inhibited for 0.5
seconds.
