Method 1: Lighting Circuits Integrated into an Energized Household System

In this scenario, lighting wires in the electrical junction box are energized.

1. Connect the line cable (bringing power from the circuit breaker) to the switch.
2. Connect the switch leads to the switch-controlled LOAD (e.g., lamp load line, hot).
3. Connect the LOAD (receptacle) cable wires to the GFCI LOAD terminals: white wire to the WHITE terminal, black wire to the HOT terminal.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal.

Method 2: Wiring Method for Non-Integrated Lighting Circuits

In this scenario, lighting wires in the electrical junction box extend solely from the fixture and remain non-energized.

1. Connect the line cable (bringing power from the circuit breaker) to the switch.
2. l туташтырыңызamp load and lamp нейтралдуу зымдар.
3. Connect the LOAD (receptacle) cable wires to the GFCI LOAD terminals: white wire to the WHITE terminal, black wire to the HOT terminal.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal.

Method 3: Wiring Method for Switch-Controlled Outlet Operation

This method allows the switch to control the GFCI outlet itself.

1. Connect the hot wire to the switch.
2. Connect the switch output to the GFCI LINE terminals.
3. Connect the neutral wire to the GFCI LINE neutral terminal.
4. Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal.

7. Операция

Once installed and power is restored, the GFCI Switch Outlet Combo is ready for use.

• Которуу операциясы: Press the top or bottom of the switch toggle to turn the connected lighting or appliance ON/OFF, depending on your wiring configuration.
• GFCI Outlet Use: Insert a plug into the tamper-resistant receptacle. The tamper-resistant shutters may require a firm, even push to open when first used.

8. Self-Test Function and LED Indicators

The GFCI Switch Outlet Combo is equipped with a self-test function and LED indicators to ensure continuous protection.

• Жашыл LED жарык: A continuous green light indicates that the GFCI socket is functioning properly and providing ground fault protection.
• Red LED Light (Blinking): The red LED light will briefly blink once every 40 seconds to indicate a successful automatic self-test. This is normal operation.
• Red LED Light (Solid ON): If the red LED light stays ON, it indicates that a ground fault has been detected, or the self-test has failed. In this case, the GFCI has tripped or is no longer providing protection and must be immediately replaced.

To manually test the GFCI, press the "TEST" button. The GFCI should trip, and the red LED should turn on. Then, press the "RESET" button. The green LED should turn on, indicating it has reset and is providing protection.

9. Кыйынчылыктарды

• GFCI Trips Frequently: This indicates a persistent ground fault. Unplug all devices from the GFCI outlet and any downstream outlets it protects. If it still trips, there may be a wiring issue or a fault within the GFCI device itself. Consult an electrician.
• GFCI баштапкы абалга келтирилбейт: Ensure there is power to the circuit. If the red LED is solid ON, the GFCI may be faulty and needs replacement. If there is no power, check your circuit breaker.
• Розеткага электр кубаты жок: Check the circuit breaker. If the GFCI has tripped, press the "RESET" button. If the GFCI does not reset or the breaker is not tripped, inspect wiring connections.
• Switch Not Controlling Light/Appliance: Verify wiring connections for the switch. Ensure the load wires are correctly connected to the switch terminals.
