4. Postavljanje i instalacija

Follow these steps for proper installation of your GFCI outlet:

1. Isključite napajanje: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the outlet you are replacing or installing. Turn off the power completely. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Uklonite staru utičnicu (ako je primjenjivo): Unscrew and carefully pull the old outlet from the wall box. Disconnect the wires, noting which wires were connected to the LINE terminals and which to the LOAD terminals (if present).
3. Identifikujte žice:
   • LINE Wires: These wires bring power from the circuit breaker to the GFCI. Typically, these are the wires entering the electrical box first.
   • LOAD Wires: These wires carry power from the GFCI to downstream outlets or devices, providing GFCI protection to them. If there are no downstream outlets to protect, the LOAD terminals will not be used.
   • Žica za uzemljenje: Gola bakrena ili zelena izolirana žica.

4. Spojite žice:
   • Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from each wire.
   • Connect the LINE (hot) wire to the brass LINE terminal and the LINE (neutral) wire to the silver LINE terminal. Ensure a secure connection.
   • If protecting downstream outlets, connect the LOAD (hot) wire to the brass LOAD terminal and the LOAD (neutral) wire to the silver LOAD terminal. Do not connect LINE and LOAD wires to the same set of terminals.
   • Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw.

   The Tri-Drive wiring screws are backed out and staked for easier installation.

5. Mount the GFCI: Carefully push the wired GFCI outlet back into the wall box. Secure it with the provided mounting screws.
6. Instalirajte prednju ploču: Attach the color-matched midi-size wallplate using the captive screws.
7. Vrati snagu: Ponovo uključite napajanje na prekidaču ili kutiji s osiguračima.
8. Testirajte GFCI: Perform the initial test as described in the Operating Instructions section.
