Legrand AGFTR152 - Manual

Plug an electrical device, such as a
lamp or radio, into the outlet on which
you are working. Turn the lamp or radio
on. Then, go to the service panel. Find
the breaker or fuse that protects that
outlet. Place the breaker in the OFF
position or completely remove the fuse.
The lamp or radio should turn OFF.
Next, plug in and turn ON the lamp or
radio at the outlet’s other outlet to make
sure the power is OFF at both outlets. If
the power is not OFF, stop work and call
an electrician to complete the installation.
Placement in circuit:
The GFCI’s place in the circuit
determines if it protects other
outlets in the circuit.
Sample circuit:
Placing the GFCI in position A will
also provide protection to “load side”
outlets B and C. On the other hand,
placing the GFCI in position C will
not provide protection to outlets A or
B. Remember that outlets A, B, and
C can be in different rooms.
• To prevent severe shock or electro-
cution, always turn the power OFF
at the service panel before working
with wiring.
• Use this GFCI outlet with copper or
copper-clad wire. Do not use it with
aluminum wire.
• Do not install this GFCI outlet on a
circuit that powers life support
equipment because if the GFCI
trips, it will shut down the
equipment.
• For installation in wet locations,
protect the GFCI outlet with a
weatherproof cover that will keep
both the outlet and any plugs dry.
• Must be installed in accordance
with national and local electrical
codes.
CAUTION
!
Installing and
Testing a
GFCI Outlet
Please read this leaflet
completely before
getting started.
Installing a GFCI outlet can be
more complicated than installing a
conventional outlet.
Make sure that you:
• Understand basic wiring principles
and techniques.
• Can interpret wiring diagrams.
• Have circuit wiring experience.
• Are prepared to take a few minutes
to test your work, making sure that
you have wired the GFCI outlet
correctly.
A GFCI outlet is different from
conventional outlets. In the event
of a ground fault, a GFCI will trip and
quickly stop the flow of electricity to
prevent serious injury.
Definition of a ground fault:
Instead of following its normal safe
path, electricity passes through a per-
son’s body to reach the ground.
For example, a defective appliance
can cause a ground fault.
A GFCI outlet does not protect
against circuit overloads, short circuits,
or shocks. For example, you can still
be shocked if you touch bare wires
while standing on a non-conducting
surface such as a wood floor.
A cable consists of 2 or 3 wires.
LINE cable:
Delivers power from the service panel
(breaker panel or fuse box) to the
GFCI. If there is only one cable entering
the electrical box, it is the LINE
cable. This cable should be connected
to the GFCI’s LINE terminals only.
LOAD cable:
Delivers power from the GFCI to
another outlet in the circuit. This
cable should be connected to the
GFCI’s LOAD terminals only. The
LOAD terminals are under the yellow
sticker. Do not remove the sticker at
this time.

IMPORTANT:
Do not install the GFCI outlet in an
electrical box containing (a) more than
4 wires (not including the grounding
wires) or (b) cables with more than two
wires (not including the grounding
wire). Contact a qualified electrician if
either (a) or (b) is true.
• If you are replacing an old outlet,
pull it out of the electrical box
without disconnecting the wires.
• If you see one cable (2-3 wires), it is
the LINE cable. The outlet is probably
in position C (see diagram to the right).
Remove the outlet and go to step 7A.
• If you see two cables (4-6 wires), the
outlet is probably in position A or B
(see diagram to the right). Follow
steps a-e of the procedure to the right.
Procedure: box with two cables
(4-6 wires)
(a) Detach one cable’s white and hot
wires from the outlet and cap
each one separately with a wire
connector. Make sure that they are
from the same cable.
(b) Re-install the outlet in the
electrical box, attach the faceplate,
then turn the power ON at the
service panel.
(c) Determine if power is flowing to the
outlet. If so, the capped wires
are the LOAD wires. If not, the
capped wires are the LINE wires.
(d) Turn the power OFF at the service
panel, label the LINE and LOAD
wires, then remove the outlet.
(e) Go to step 7B.

Remove spacers from the
frame. Since this outlet fills the
frame completely, you will not
need the spacers. From the
back of the frame, pinch the
tabs on the spacer to release.
