Contenu du colis
Vérifiez que tous les composants sont présents avant de commencer l'installation :

- Vis de montage
- Manuel d'instructions (ce document)

Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your GFCI outlet:
- Couper l'alimentation : Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the outlet box. Turn it off completely. Verify power is off using a voltage testeur.
- Supprimer l'ancienne prise : 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.
- Identifier les fils :
- Câbles de ligne : These wires bring power from the circuit breaker to the GFCI outlet.
- Câbles de charge : 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.
- Fil de terre: Typically bare copper or green insulated.
- Connect Wires to GFCI:
- Connectez le DOUBLER wires to the terminals marked "LINE" on the GFCI outlet.
- Connectez le CHARGER wires to the terminals marked "LOAD" on the GFCI outlet.
- Connectez le fil de terre à la vis de terre verte.
Important: 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.
- Installez la prise : Carefully fold the wires into the electrical box and secure the GFCI outlet to the box using the provided mounting screws.
- Installez la plaque murale : Attach the screwless wall plate (not included) over the GFCI outlet.
- Restaurer l'alimentation : Remettez le courant au disjoncteur.
