Self Monitoring GFCI: The GFCI is “Self Monitoring Type” as per UL Standard Ul-943. As
soon as the Inverter is switched ON and 120 VAC is available on the internal Line Side of
the GFCI, Red LED marked “Life End Alarm” (5c in Figs 6.1 and 6.2) will flash once and
then will remain OFF. The Green LED (5d in Figs 6.1and 6.2) will switch ON indicating
that AC power is available at the Load Side outlets.
As soon as the Inverter is switched OFF and 120 VAC is removed from the internal Line
Side of the GFCI, Red LED marked “Life End Alarm” (5c in Figs 6.1and 6.2) will flash once
and then will remain OFF. The Green LED (5d in Figs 6.1 and 6.2) will switch OFF indicat-
ing that AC power is NOT available at the Load Side outlets.
The Self Monitoring Function inside the GFCI will monitor proper operation of ground
fault protection circuitry every 1 to 10 minutes. If defect in the ground fault protection
circuit is detected, the Red LED marked “Life End Alarm” (5c in Figs 6.1 and 6.2) will
remain ON and the GFCI will have to be replaced.
Monthly Testing of GFCI: Test the operation of the GFCI monthly as follows:
• Switch ON the inverter. As soon as 120 VAC output from the inverter is available on
the internal Line Side of the GFCI, Red LED marked “Life End Alarm” (5d in Fig 6.1
and Fig 6.2) will flash once within 5 sec and then will remain OFF. The Green LED
(5c in Fig 6.1 and Fig 6.2) will switch ON indicating that AC power is available at the
Load Side outlets.
• Plug a test lamp into the outlet and switch ON the test lamp.
• Press the “Test Button” (5b in Fig 6.1 and 6.2). The “Reset Button” (5a in Fig 6.1 and
6.2) will pop out. The GFCI will be forced to trip and cut off AC power to the load
side outlets. Green LED (5d in Fig 6.1 and 6.2) will switch OFF. The test lamp will also
switch OFF.
• Press the “Reset Button” (5a in Fig 6.1 and 6.2). The GFCI will reset and AC power to
the load side outlets will be restored. Green LED (5d in Fig 6.1 and 6.2) will switch
ON. The test lamp will also switch ON.
• If the above Test / Reset operation cannot be carried out, replace the GFCI.
GFCI Tripping and Reset: If there is a leakage of 5 to 6mA due to ground fault on the
load side or , there is a Neutral to Ground bond on the load side, the GFCI will trip
and the “Reset Button” (5a in Figs 6.1 and 6.2) will pop out. AC power to the load side
outlets will be cut off. Green LED (5d in Figs 6.1 and 6.2) will switch OFF. Remove the
ground fault in the load circuit. Press the “Reset Button” (5a in Fig 6.1 and 6.2). The GFCI
will reset and AC power to the load side outlets will be restored. Green LED (5d in Figs
6.1 and 6.2) will switch ON.
!
CAUTION!
1. Do not feed the output from the GFCI receptacle to a Panel Board / Load Center
where the Neutral is bonded to the Earth Ground. This will trip the GFCI.
2. If an extension cord is used, please ensure that the cord is 2-Pole Grounding Type
(3 pin).
