READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Pass & Seymour/Legrand's portable ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) provides personnel
ground fault protection. Conventional over-current
protection devices such as fuses and circuit
breakers cannot protect people from electrical
shock. Those devices are designed to disconnect
the power when currents of several amperes flow
from the hot wire to ground. However, currents as
low as a few milliamperes can be dangerous to
normal healthy human beings. One ampere equals
1000 milliamperes.
Many electrical shocks occur when the path of
current flow is from the hot wire through the metal
housing of a defective tool or appliance, through
the body of a human being to ground. Because
of the resistance of the human body to electrical
current flow, the current will be quite low relative
to that required to cause conventional over-current
protection devices to function. However, it is likely
to be high enough to cause a painful or possibly
lethal electric shock to a human being.
Pass & Seymour/Legrand's portable GFCI is
designed to remove power from the equipment
loads when these loads have a potentially lethal
ground current in excess of six milliamperes.
Normal loads will draw current from the Hot
Conductor (black wire) and return it to the power
source through the Neutral Conductor (white wire).
Faulty loads can return some of the current to
the power source through a ground path such as
a water pipe, gas pipe, wet floor, third conductor
(green wire), or worst of all, through a person who
is in contact with an extrinsic ground.
The Pass & Seymour/Legrand portable GFCI's
rugged construction allows it to be used in outdoor
or indoor locations, where ground fault protection is
desired. When energized by actuation of the reset
button, it will conveniently supply power to any
power tool or appliance whose load requirement
does not exceed rated voltage and currents.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION – MANUAL RESET VERSION
1. Plug Unit into 120 VAC power outlet protected by fuse or circuit breaker.
2. To Test, press the Test button. The light should illuminate solid Red.
3. To Reset, press the Reset button. The light should illuminate solid green.
4. Connect the desired load equipment to cord output receptacle and operate
equipment normally.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION – AUTO RESET VERSION
1. Plug unit into 120 VAC power outlet protected by fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Unit will automatically become energized and the light will illuminate solid Green.
This indicates the Unit is ready for proper use.
3. To Test, press the Test button. The light should illuminate solid Red.
4. To Reset, press the Reset Button, the light should illuminate solid green, indicating
safe GFCI operation
5. Connect the desired load equipment to cord output receptacle and operate
equipment normally.
WARNINGS
1. If the GFCI fails to trip when the Test button is pressed (lamp indicator fails to turn
off) or, if the GFCI fails to reset when the Reset button is pushed in (lamp indicator
fails to remain lit), the device should be replaced.
2. If the GFCI tests properly without any appliance plugged into it but trips each
time the appliance is plugged in, the appliance has a ground fault and needs to
be repaired or replaced. DO NOT BYPASS THE GFCI. IF THIS CONDITION
OCCURS, A REAL SHOCK HAZARD MAY EXIST.
3. If unit Blinks red, this indicates the self-test feature has detected something faulty
with the Unit. Do not continue to use and please contact Legrand customer support
for further details and assistance.
NOTES
Note 1: Pass & Seymour/Legrand's Portable GFCI models will provide protection
against ground faults when used with a 2-wire outlet receptacle and a 3-wire to 2-wire
adapter. It is always desirable when possible to use a 3-wire grounded receptacle
because a ground provides additional protection against electrical shock hazard. The
adapter should be of the type that can be grounded to the outer mounting plate screw.
Note 2: The GFCI does not sense ground faults in the input conductors, therefore it is
recommended that if any extension cords are used, they should be connected between
the GFCI's output and the tool or appliance to be powered. Your GFCI is now ready to
test and use.

Le disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (DDFT) portable
Pass & Seymour/Legrand protège les utilisateurs
contre les défauts de terre. Les dispositifs
traditionnels de protection contre les surtensions,
tels que les fusibles et les disjoncteurs ordinaires,
ne protègent pas des chocs électriques. Ces
dispositifs sont conçus pour couper l'alimentation
lorsqu'un courant de plusieurs ampères s'établit
entre le fil chargé (la phase) et la terre. Cependant,
des courants ne mesurant que quelques
milliampères peuvent être dangereux pour un
utilisateur normal en bonne santé. Un ampère est
égal à 1000 milliampères.
De nombreux chocs électriques sont dus au
passage d'un courant électrique entre le fil chargé
et le corps de l'utilisateur relié à la terre par
l'intermédiaire du boîtier métallique d'un outil ou
d'un appareil ménager en mauvais état. Du fait
de la résistance du corps humain au passage des
courants électriques, le courant sera relativement
faible par rapport à celui qui est nécessaire
pour déclencher les dispositifs traditionnels de
protection contre les surtensions. Cependant, ce
courant sera probablement suffisant pour causer
un choc électrique douloureux, voire mortel.
Le DDFT portable Pass & Seymour/Legrand est
conçu pour déconnecter l'alimentation électrique
de l'équipement lorsqu'il existe un courant
de terre potentiellement mortel de plus de six
milliampères. Un équipement normal soutire
le courant du conducteur chargé (fil noir) et le
renvoie à la source d'alimentation par le neutre
(fil blanc). Certains équipements défectueux
peuvent renvoyer une partie du courant à la
source d'alimentation par une boucle de terre telle
qu'un tuyau d'eau ou de gaz, un sol humide, un
troisième conducteur (fil vert) ou, dans le pire des
cas, par l'utilisateur qui est en contact avec une
terre extrinsèque.
La construction robuste du DDFT portable Pass &
Seymour/Legrand permet de l'utiliser à l'intérieur
comme à l'extérieur, là où il est souhaitable
d'assurer une protection contre les défauts de
terre. Une fois qu'il a été mis sous tension en
appuyant sur le bouton de réenclenchement, il
permet d'alimenter n'importe quel outil ou appareil
ménager ne dépassant pas la tension et le courant
nominaux.

LEA Y GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES!
Los interruptores portátiles de circuito accionado
por corriente de pérdida a tierra (GFCI) de Pass &
Seymour/Legrand protegen a las personas contra
las fallas a tierra. Los dispositivos convencionales
de protección contra sobrecorrientes tales como
fusibles y disyuntores no pueden proteger a las
personas contra los choques eléctricos. Estos
dispositivos están diseñados para desconectar
el suministro eléctrico cuando corrientes de
varios amperios fluyen del cable cargado a tierra.
Sin embargo, corrientes de sólo unos pocos
miliamperios pueden ser peligrosas para personas
normales y saludables. Un amperio es igual a
1000 miliamperios.
Muchos choques eléctricos ocurren cuando la
corriente pasa desde el alambre cargado a través
de la caja metálica de una herramienta o aparato
defectuoso y a través del cuerpo de una persona
a tierra. Dada la resistencia del cuerpo humano al
flujo de corriente eléctrica, la corriente será mucho
mas baja que la corriente necesaria para activar
un dispositivo de protección contra sobrecorrientes
convencional. Sin embargo, es posible que sea
lo suficientemente alta para causar un choque
eléctrico doloroso o mortal.
Los GFCI portátiles de Pass & Seymour/Legrand
están diseñados para desconectar el suministro
eléctrico del equipo cuando este equipo tiene una
corriente a tierra posiblemente mortal de más de
seis miliamperios. Las cargas normales consumen
corriente del conductor cargado (cable negro) y la
envían de regreso mediante el conductor neutral
(cable blanco) hasta la fuente eléctrica. El equipo
defectuoso puede retornar parte de la corriente
a la fuente eléctrica a través de una trayectoria a
tierra como sería una tubería de agua, una tubería
de gas, el piso mojado, un tercer conductor (cable
verde) o, lo que es peor, a través de una persona
que está en contacto con una tierra extrínseca.
La robusta construcción de los GFCI portátiles de
Pass & Seymour/Legrand permite que se puedan
utilizar en áreas exteriores o interiores donde se
requiera protección contra fallas a tierra. Cuando
sea energizado mediante el accionamiento del
botón de reposición (RESET), convenientemente
proveerá corriente a cualquier herramienta o
aparato eléctrico cuyos requerimientos de carga
no sobrepasen las corrientes y voltajes nominales.
