| GFCI | RECEPTACLE TESTING AND |
| |
| RESETTING PROCEDURE |
| ||
| The GFCI receptacle should be properly tested at |
| ||
| least once every month or whenever it is tripped. |
| ||
| To properly test and reset the GFCI receptacle: |
| ||
| • If the | receptacle has tripped, first carefully |
| |
| • | remove any load and check it for damage. |
| |
| If the equipment has been shut down, it must |
| ||
| • | be restarted. |
| |
| The equipment needs to be operating at high |
| ||
|
| idle speed and any necessary adjustments |
| |
|
| made on the control panel so that the equip- |
| |
|
| ment is providing at least 80 volts to the recep- |
| |
| • | tacle input terminals. |
| |
| The circuit breaker for this receptacle must not |
| ||
| • | be tripped. Reset if necessary. |
| |
| Push the "Reset" button located on the GFCI |
| ||
|
| receptacle. This will assure normal GFCI oper- |
| |
| • | ation. |
|
|
| Plug a |
| ||
|
| other product (such as a lamp) into the GFCI |
| |
|
| receptacle and turn the product "ON". |
| |
• Push the "Test" button located on the GFCI receptacle. The
• Push the "Reset" button, again. The light or other product should go "ON" again.
If the light or other product remains "ON" when the "Test" button is pushed, the GFCI is not work- ing properly or has been incorrectly installed (miswired). If your GFCI is not working properly, contact a qualified, certified electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the GFCI if neces- sary or replace the device.
