5. Installation Instructions

This section outlines the general steps for installing your Leviton Dual-Function AFCI/GFCI Outlet. For specific wiring diagrams and detailed instructions, always refer to the instruction sheet included with your product's packaging. Local electrical codes take precedence over general guidelines.

5.1. Power Disconnection and Verification

1. Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the outlet where you intend to install the device.
2. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker or remove the fuse.
3. Use a handheld voltage tester to confirm that the power is completely off at the outlet box. Test all wires to ensure no live current is present.

5.2. Wire Identification

It is crucial to correctly identify the line (incoming power) and load (outgoing power to other outlets) wires. Miswiring can prevent the device from functioning correctly and may leave downstream outlets unprotected.

• Identify the hot (usually black), neutral (usually white), and ground (bare copper or green) wires.
• If there are more than four wires plus the ground in the wall box, or if you are uncertain about wire identification, consult a qualified electrician.
• The device should be installed as the first outlet closest to the load center on that circuit to maximize protection for all downstream outlets.

5.3. Wiring Connections

Ensure wires are straight and stripped to the appropriate length using the strip gauge on the back of the device. The device offers the option of either wrapping leads around the terminal screws or using an external back-wire clamp.

1. Connect the incoming hot (black) line wire to the brass LINE terminal (without the yellow sticker).
2. Connect the incoming neutral (white) line wire to the silver LINE terminal (without the yellow sticker).
3. If protecting downstream outlets, connect the outgoing hot (black) load wire to the brass LOAD terminal (under the yellow sticker).
4. If protecting downstream outlets, connect the outgoing neutral (white) load wire to the silver LOAD terminal (under the yellow sticker).
5. Connect the bare copper or green ground wire to the green hexagonal ground screw.
6. Tighten all terminal screws clockwise to secure the wires. Gently tug on each wire to ensure a secure connection.

5.4. Securing the Device

1. Carefully fold the wires into the wall box, ensuring they are not pinched.
2. Secure the device into the wall box using the provided mounting screws.
3. Install the wall plate.

6. Operating Instructions

After installation and restoring power at the circuit breaker, the device is ready for use. AFCI/GFCI devices are shipped from the factory in a tripped condition and cannot be reset until correctly wired and supplied with power.

6.1. Initial Reset and Test

1. Restore power at the circuit breaker.
2. Press the RESET button firmly. The indicator light should turn on, and power should be available at the outlets.
3. To verify proper operation, plug a lamp or radio into the device.
4. Press the TEST button. The indicator light should turn off, and the lamp/radio should lose power.
5. Press the RESET button again. The indicator light should turn on, and the lamp/radio should regain power.

If the device does not reset or test correctly, refer to the troubleshooting section.

7. Maintenance

Leviton AFCI and GFCI devices feature an automated self-testing feature based on the latest product standards. However, it is still recommended to manually test the device monthly to ensure continued protection.

7.1. Monthly Self-Test

1. Press the TEST button on the device. The indicator light should turn off, and power to the outlets should be interrupted.
2. Press the RESET button. The indicator light should turn on, and power should be restored.
3. If the device fails to trip or reset, it may be faulty and should be replaced.

8. Troubleshooting

If your Leviton Dual-Function AFCI/GFCI Outlet is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:

• Device will not reset: Ensure the device is correctly wired (line and load connections are not reversed). Verify that power is supplied to the device from the circuit breaker. If the device is damaged, it will not reset.
• No power to downstream outlets: Check if the device is properly wired to protect downstream outlets (load terminals). Ensure the device itself is reset.
• Nuisance tripping: High-frequency (HF) nuisance tripping has been improved in this design. However, if frequent, check for faulty appliances or wiring issues on the circuit.
• LED Indicator Light: Refer to the instruction sheet for specific LED indicator light patterns and their meanings (e.g., tripped, end-of-life).

For detailed troubleshooting steps and specific wiring diagrams, always consult the instruction sheet provided with your product or contact Leviton customer support.
