Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your GFCI outlet:

  1. Sluk for strømmen: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the outlet box. Turn it off completely. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
  2. Fjern gammel stikkontakt: Carefully remove the existing wall plate and outlet from the electrical box. Disconnect the wires from the old outlet, noting which wires were connected to the "LINE" and "LOAD" terminals.
  3. Identificér ledninger:
    • LINE Wires: These wires bring power from the circuit breaker to the GFCI outlet.
    • LOAD Wires: These wires carry power from the GFCI outlet to other downstream receptacles or devices that you want to protect. If there are no downstream receptacles, cap the LOAD wires individually.
    • Jordledning: Typically bare copper or green insulated.
  4. Connect Wires to GFCI:
    • Tilslut LINE wires to the terminals marked "LINE" on the GFCI outlet.
    • Tilslut LÆS wires to the terminals marked "LOAD" on the GFCI outlet.
    • Tilslut jordledning to the green ground screw.

    Vigtig: The Legrand 1597TRW features a feed-thru wiring configuration that allows the GFCI to protect downstream receptacles. It also prevents line-load reversal miswire, meaning there will be no power to the face or downstream receptacles if wired incorrectly. An auto-ground clip assures a positive ground to a metal box.

  5. Monter stikkontakten: Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box and secure the GFCI outlet to the box using the provided mounting screws.
  6. Installer vægplade: Attach the screwless wall plate (not included) over the GFCI outlet.
  7. Gendan strøm: Tænd for strømmen igen ved afbryderen.
